Whats the worst structure tournament you have played?

[Jamier-Host]

Flushie I think you've just been spoilt by the Luton structures.  People play £10 tournos for fun and the structures are always pretty dodgy.  More gamble and more excitement for your 50 quid evening out!

The Nun,

Bizarrely, Ive had similar at Salford.

Definate split pot and the chips went to the other player....by the time I screamed the cards were all back together to be shuffled for the next hand. Prob my fault for not shouting quickly enough but I hated the game for a good few days after that. Despite thinking it was my fault the person in question was well aware of what the problem was and refused to speak to me or anyone else on the table.

In your case, the guy refusing to let you know what chips he had left beggars belief......am I wrong....dont you have to have your chips clearly on display at all times?

Dont blame you for being pi**ed off...been there and I was too.

Yes P**sed off was an understatment i'm afraid. Shame really as we'd  had a greast day up til then, baptism, nice drive in car, then BLACKPOOL arrgggg.

I was there too.............horrible tourney.....suppose i'd have said different though if I had walked away with some cash!!!!!

Ive played similar structures elsewhere in small stakes poker.....maybe its a case of getting what you pay for.

Sorry Nun...I'd have come over and said 'ello if i'd realised it was you.

What made matters worse is the terrible dealer we had towards the end of the rebuys.......he made silly comments all the time.....shouted 'fish' at people when he gave them their cards and couldn't even be bothered to iron his shirt.

Tut.....Kids these days!!!!!!

 

And then i, i mean he had the cheek to knock you out!

[TheJagster]

LMAO....and as you can tell....I'm not bitter

I didn't actually play it, but the worst structure I've seen has to be the tournaments at the Luxor, where I stayed on my first trip to Vegas.

From memory its something like a $25 buy-in with an optional $3 add-on which goes to the dealers.  This buys you 250 in chips or 300 with the add-on.

The first hour is limit hold 'em with starting blinds of 15/30 and a 15 minute clock.  After an hour the game switches to no limit.

I did bring back a flyer showing the structure as I was gob-smacked when I read it!  Its probably buried somewhere now.

Regardless, I reckon its the ultimate in crap shoots!
