After some whinging from myself & some others, Cincinatti's has agreed to run a tournament the way we want (except for 1 rebuy - I'd have a freezeout). So we're suggesting:
===========================================
Thurs 8th of Sept.
£15 No Limit, One Rebuy/Top-up Only in 1st hour.
Start 8:00pm Sharp.
3000 in Chips starting.
Blinds:
50/100 for 1 hour then 20 Mins each of:
100/200
150/300
200/400
300/600
400/800
600/1200
800/1600
1000/2000 etc.
Payout structure (to 8 man final table), payouts will be adjusted to nearest £5:
30%
20%
15%
11%
9%
7%
5%
3%
========================================
We need at least 30 players to get this on, so any Glasgow based punters please indicate on here if you intend to play. Who knows maybe if they see a game end without a deal there will be more flat structure games?
Ironsides/Tikay - I'm not sure if this is in the right area of the forum, but it's where the complaining about payouts/structures etc is taking place, feel free to move it if you want.

Don't think they have the correctly numbered chips to do that  I think this is great, it effectively becomes a £30 double chance freezeout. Count me in! 8pm though... thats running the risk of not having a tournament. Riverboat fiver night will have loads of people not getting in at 9pm. |

Correct on the chips - originally thought of 1500 starting at 25/50 then realised they start at 50. Re start time - there's loads who don't want to play till 3am on a school night - so hopefully will entice some of them into an earlier game - might make it 9 if enough ask for it though. |

I know it is making things later but if you make it a 9pm registration then those that dont get in queueing for the bingo night at riverboat will be able to shoot over to the Cincinnati.... I'd be willing to hang around on the Thursday at riverboat directing the stragglers to cincinnati. |

No, the thinking is that those who don't like the later nights & bingo night structure will hopefully go for it - probably make it 8 reg for 8:30 start.
All supposing we can get the 30 - there's a lot of guys from Shotts/Uddingston/Motherwell expressed an intrest - so they'd want earlier rather than later to get home.

Might be worth doing a spot of advertising the night before then Get Cincinnati to print some flyers (or do em yourself) |

Will work on it.... There's a few forums I can put the info on - once we know we've a few players going to turn up. RFC & other Glasgow punters - get your names in - The UEFA cup's not on that night so you won't have a game  . |

Is Thursday not bingo night at CinCin as well? Stick to the 8pm start time & you'll get going by 8.30 - 8.45 I'm easy as I'll just take Friday off but if your looking to make this a regular event try for an early start & see what the response is. Theres loads of play in that stucture so its going to run 4 to 5 hours minimum I reckon. Anyway good stuff Rod lets make this work |

But there's also lots of players who won't go to the Riverboat or CinCin while it's all rebuys, low chips, fast blinds (CinCin's is a wee bit better) & top3 payout only. Hopefully we can tap into some of them & get a new market (I don't care which venue cashes in - I just want to play at a better time in a better game). I think it's kind of daft the 3 clubs all playing the same games, competing for one small group of players. |

well why dont you try and get the poker club to try some small (£50-£300) freezeouts also to try some different games a little bit of PLO and PLO8 as well as stud will give guys a break from holdem nothing drastic once a month or somthing
if they put on a £100-£300 PLO or PLO8 freezeout i might even travel down for a game
