Figure its about time to throw a spanner in the works.

The poll has been prepared with incomplete information and is bound to provide a skewed result. The options available were limited ie do you want 30% or 40% and the baseline is restricted to a 100 runner comp.

What payout do you propose for 70 runners or 140 or 190 or 250 etc.etc.

My point in suggesting the use of a tried and tested formula (Tex's TEARS) is that you can have a spreadsheet which is ready made to cover most eventualities.

It would appear to be fair the standard split on a 100 runner comp is not that far removed from what the 'majority' want.

I have heard it argued that the Americans have a distinct advantage over the Brits since they are used to playing out comps to win, rather than dealing 5 ways. Since this structure is commonly used in the States, I can only presume that it facilitates playing out for the prizes.

Why do we need to re-invent the wheel here, I cannot recall too many UK players bemoaning the payouts in American comps.

The formula exists, somebody else has done the hard work, why can't we just adopt it.

But having after looking info at the Tex Morgan website, he will supply his software free of charge as long as the person who is buying it pays his representatives airfare and expenses to install and explain it. In a world of increasing competition it will be a brave cardroom supervisor/manager who suggests that to the big bosses. Maybe the new 'Cardroom Magic' software may herald a new era. Perhaps someone from Wallsall could comment?

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

 Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry :'(Greeks got in there really quick! Boss got pissed off at the number of complaints. Did an impromptu poll of "our" players and 68 % said 40% should be top prize and a few said 50% and even a 70%. As nobody had complained in the first place looks like we will be going back to original structure!  SORRY!!!! Cry Cry Cry  Tried.....even if was for just the 1 night! BTW it got chopped up between top 5 again tonight!
