supper add ons?

[Maddog]

I've been recently thinking of heading to Pokernitez on a Friday (every time they text me!)

How many positions paid out ? and what time did the game finish ?

[Longines]

They pay the final table of 9. We finished around 1.50am.

super add-ons, which are becoming increasingly popular in poker clubs, keeps everyone interested at the end of the rebuy stage of the tournament and also builds the PRIZE pool. All buy-ins are visible on the tournament manager software at Pokernitez and any poker player knows that chips in play at the final table will equate to chips in play on the software.THIS MUST MEAN THAT POKERNITEZ RUNS AN HONEST GAME AND NO STEALING EVER TAKES PLACE AS THIS WOULD SURELY KILL ANY POKER CLUB.

[Bongo]

Of course you could just enter every 7 buyins as a super buyin, the software and chip counts would tally.

Makes it easier to steal from the pot aswell as there is no way of knowing the true amount of rebuys.

Sad, but true. It happens, & I've personally seen it on numerous occasions.

Where there is cash involved, there is always someone who.....

Be on your guard, at all times, in these situations.

Not that popular - this is the first time i've ever heard of somewhere in England who is offering it.

How? Surely all it does is give the deep pockets who sign into the tournament a bigger advantage as they can take more risks early on knowing full well that they can get 7 buy-in's after the rebuy stage has finished. If you want to build the PRIZE pool then charge them the full £70 for the 7 buy-in's

Does the software differenciate between add-on's and super add-on's? Most of the software i've seen just scans someones buy-in ticket to indicate they have had a rebuy / add-on - how do they scan it to tell the difference between an normal add-on to a super add-on?

[DonnaM]

all rebuy, add-ons and super add-ons are done in different colour and value chips
Re-buys 1000 = red
Add-ons 2000 = white
Supers 5000 = yellow

NO CONSPIRACY, NO STEALING

Super add-ons are now available in Wokingham, Reigate, Chiswick and Purley that we know of, and from September watch what the casinos do. And finaly rarely do £10 Re-buy tournies attract the deep pocket people that you are implying.

That's because, in the UK, the GC don't presently permit it, but unlicensed venues can, of course, do as they wish, for the moment, anyway.

It may all change in September, though, but for now, it's simply not permitted in Licensed venues. It's always been the case in America & Europe though, that "super add-ons" are regularly used.

Agree or not, the GC do these things to, as they see it, to protect the players. In this particular case, with good reason, imo.

Regardless of fishy or not, it puts me off because it just makes for a more expensive game as you can't afford not to have it regardless of the chips you have.  Double add on is just a huge amount of chips to fall behind.

What he said, if you are following the law you are not allowed to do it....

As it happens i quite like the idea and i hope that the casinos can do it after Sept.
