My vote - £200 freeze and £100 1 rebuy

3rd choice - £200 double chance

Hard to choose between them really, if you had 1 of each a week on different days my choice would probably be whichever was on the best day for me.

I would also play the shootout occasionally as a bit of a change but don't think i'd like to play one every week.

Main reason I prefer freeze to rebuys is that I find them more fun to play - and that is my main reason for playing.

I also tend to shy away from any rebuys and prefer freeze outs.

It's been said before but I think I'll mention it here.

Any poll on blonde poker is not necessary a cross section of poker players.

I'd imagine Joe Public would be more inclined towards the re-buy comp as it doesn't seem like you're spending £200. £200 is an amount of money that intimidates many, whereas they might say aye to a £40 re-buy jobby even if they came along with £200 to spend.

£50+1 rebuy has been very well received in Nottingham.

I would hope to see that somewhere on DTD's schedule.

personally would like to see limit hold'em tourneys but i guess i am in a very small minority. seems to be frowned upon by the testosterone junkies.

consider ur post frowned upon.

I went for the DC and the shootout

alas it is only an enlightened few that truly understand this game. think hard enough and long enough young flushy and you too may have the blindless lifted.

If being enlightend means eating cheesecake and mash patato at the same time then i am loooving the darkness!

Cheesecake and mash potato is just one of the many signs of true enlightenment. Breaking one's arse is another as is the ability to draw navigational aids for commercial pilots under extreme conditions. However flushy son the highest manifestation of enlightenment yet experienced by a mere mortal is the true understanding of the power of the Bi-Plane.
