Yogi introduced a new, flatter prize structure for the mini-festival at Blackpool this week, and he assures me that it will remain in place for the up coming, full blown festival in May

To my knowledge, everyone was happy, I heard no complaints

Payouts were as follows

9 prizes paid in all competitions, if over 90 players, 10% of the runners will be paid





90 runners

34.5%
20%
13%
9.5%
7%
5.5%
4.5%
3.5%
2.5%


There is a sliding scale up to 130 runners when payouts become

30%
20%
13%
9%
6.5%
5.5%
4.5%
3.5%
2.5%

Cardroom staff, dealers and valets at Blackpool were in great form as usual, always helpful, pleasant, and ready for a laugh

I would like to give a special mention to Clare, (The one with the dark smoldering eyes) It's like looking down the barrels of two revolvers, scary, but fascinating.

What a great job she has done looking after those puppies!  ;tightend; ;tightend;

any success to report RED?

Afraid not Rich, I went out of the £100 re-buy in 15th, I had avarage chips when a fairly tight player raised to 7k, I rr to set him in for another 10k holding pocket 8's, he called with 5's and spiked it on the turn, I couldn't recover

In the £500 I was on a crazy table, 3 players all in on the first hand, Jacks, 10's, and 5's, the 5's won

That seemed to set the tone for the whole game, with a re-raise and an all in every other hand

I lost a dollop of chips when I raised with QQ, (4 callers) and after that I was never in the running

who?

I must add my support tom. There all doing a great job over there-

Sounds like it has been a fun few days i would have loved to have been there !!!!!!!! Im gonna miss all the festivals i used to have a great laugh with everyone and always nice to see old faces. x

Looks like the flatter structure failed to stop a deal, after trying to deal 9 handed yesterday they finally managed it with 7 left.
Be interesting to know what the actually percentages dealwise were compared to the advertised structure.
Fickle these poker players huh?

good on ya yogi, good to see you learnt something from me lol

thta structures looking good, rather similair to the flatter one i hav eput forward at the broadway *watch this space*

Who are you calling an old face  :tikay:

RED!!!

You were 5 mins down the road from me and you didn't tell me???????

Ok offence has been taken!

Naughty Doggie....

OMG, I didn't know, I could have popped in for a "coffee"

red must agree with you about claire ,
bueatifull personality always smilling aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggg

That is NOT what I meant Mr!  lol

Down boy          and again Naughty doggie!

That's not what I meant either. How very dare you!!!

I just did!   lol

What did you mean by "coffee" then?  I take it my penchant for Cappuccino has reached far and wide now???

rotflmfao

Thx guys. Your appreciation is appreciated.

The payout's still need a little work, for when we get more than 130 players. But its def getting there.

IFM, I couldn't blieve they cut a deal. Made me want to stop doing 2 day events and give long clocks and chips to people. Perhaps a 30 minute crap shoot would be better appreciated by the locals.

Green Fox........... its what we always discussed. Don't propose it at The Broadway, just implement it. HEHEHEHEHE. Won't make you any more popular like.

ANd Vinni. There is no I in Clare. She gets very angry about it.Fickle lady.

She is on holiday but ill send her all your puppy wishes.

Yogi

Fogg £6800              16%
Richard R £5600         13%
Boycie £5000             11.5%
Ming £5000                 11.5%
Ash £4800                  11%
Dunwoodie £3410         8%

These are rough but perhaps ill use them next time.

:):)

Yogi

sorry if ive offended any one .

green fox indeed, no longer in a position to implement things i'm afraid beeen nagging about it for ages but we'll see


glad your big one went so well tho buddy i'll be up for a beer soon

hi guys girls ofcourse im from blackpool can u fgive me some info where is everyone playing and what sort of buy in is it and is it n/l texas holdem?

Hi chaos, & welcome to blonde.


This thread is about the Grosvenor Sandcastle, on the Promenade, opposite the Pleasure Beach.

They play Texas Hld 'Em most nights - why not pop down there & take a look? Yogi & his team will look after you. But steer clear of the cash games - the locals are all as loopy as loopy things.

Did Vinni REALLY say that? Wow, things have changed around here. He used to apologise if he did NOT offend anyone.

Blackpool players are pussies, they always want to do 7,8 and 9 way deals. It's pathetic. Next thing you know they'll be splitting it with 30 players left.

Come on lads, Danny's made a good prize structure. Let's play it out like men.

    well i guess u have had your experiances in blackpool and done pretty lowsey bye the sound of things cinnacle nothing worse than a bad loooooser.

1). The "deal" that Yogi outlined in fact looks most sensible to me. The winner gtting almost 25% of the pool, & all the Finalists getting a decent draw. That's what THEY wanted, & I believe it reflects what many people want - FLATTER STRUCTURES. You CANNOT argue about the case on the night in question, as ALL the Finalists must have agreed to the deal. Thus, we can see that, never mind all the huff & puff, players DO want flatter structures.

2) I don't think we should refer to the players as "pussies" & not "real men" just because they did a deal with THEIR money. We are all entitled to do what we wish with our own money. Being conservative, prudent & sensible does not make them "pussies".

3) "Done pretty lousy", "pathetic", etc. Steady on guys, I know you are both newbies, but this is blonde. We like to show a little respect for our fellow players in here.

Meanwhile, this thread was intended as a "well done" Blackpool for their excellent initiative in flattening the prize sructure. All the deal suggests to me is that Blackpool's initiative was a step in the right direction, but they can & should go further. I certainly don't subscribe to the logic that cutting a deal makes them "pussies" or "pathetic".

LOL, you almost say that the flatter structure was a good thing, and worked.

from what reveiws i have read about grovsner casino in blackpool (tournament structure and staff) i must say sounds pretty impresive compared to most around the country but hey u guys should no better than me so lets here it please im an online player but im looking to get my feet wet and the sunday tournament there looks a good place to start .
