wellchief, im curious about your name mate, as there is horse named that, the only reason i remember is cos i won a fair bit on the ole fella!

any connection?

[WellChief]

Yes Dave it's named after the horse, it's my play name on a lot of poker sites so just signed up here with it.  I'm a Glasgow man by the way what makes you think i'm from Lankashire?

If they did it weekly it would provide some direct competition to the £5 Thursday bingo night at Riverboat, hopefully making everyone happy.

But for the fact that the starting times are different... those that don't get in at Riverboat are going to have to go to Wabash £5 bingo night instead.

good tight players like the bingo night's more than they like freezeouts cause they get better value

nope, good tight players hate the bingo nights, as they suit very veryt loose players with deep pockets!

something i, who is a tight player, hates and cant afford!

hence the reason we are desperately trying for a new weekly freezeout!

Not strictly true... until very recently I would find myself on final tables with no re-buys, finishing in the money.

It's only when I changed my play, playing more hands with deeper pockets did I find myself up shit creek without a paddle Either that or the buggers are out drawing me more often these days...

lets see a good tight player plays £15 on average for the comp while the loose player pays £45 on average means that the loose player needs to make 3 times as much to get the same value from comp

in a freezeout both players pay the same amount of money thus reducing the value for the tight player

guess where i would rather be

(personally i prefer to play freezeouts but value wise i would be better in rebuys)

You should get down to Glasgow for the chip throwing comps they call re buys then 

45 quid is being kind. The fiver rebuys have to be seen to be believed 

I did manage to place 2nd last week in a tenner rebuy without having to re buy so I reckon your right as long as you start well. The problem is when you get a bad start & have to resist and the re buy frenzy and keep your discipline.

A couple of the boys are goin in for the fiver rebuy at CinCin tonight, we'll see how they get on. (Divs as tight as a gnats chuff BTW  )

Funnily enough.....

Got a real slagging off the guy who was dealing cos I hardly played a hand after hitting trip queens early to get a decent stack.  I was getting atrocious cards and couldn't really make a move cos there were a few limp every hand, call any raisers about. (Fiver rebuy dontcha know!?)

But I played along cos you never know when a super tight table image can come to your aid.

Went out on the bubble of the final table - 4 handed - when I got TT in the big blind. The big stack button raises the pot. Small blind (call anything) smooth calls.

I reraise in the hope the button is either at-it or has two big cards. Both smooth call, which I like cos it implies no overpair, but dislike cos I'd rather be heads up.

Flop is 663. Small blind checks. I'm all in which is roughly a pot size bet. Big Stack Button guy agonises for ages, which makes me think he's got me beat, but he looks very reluctant to call. Perhaps my super tight image can save me?

Nope - he reluctantly calls. Small blind calls all in with not a care in the world. Button has QQ, small blind has A3. Turn is another 3 and Mr Any Two Cards is off to the final table with a monster stack!

My total outlay - fiver buy-in, fiver top-up. But no pay off 

As an aside the night was pretty quiet. Which is a shame as it's a much nicer venue than the Riverboat, plus complimentary soft drinks, coffee and biscuits 

I hope more people get along soon.

You think its nicer than the riverboat? I think the riverboat is nicer tbh, plus complimentary food and tea/coffee/soft drinks of course.

Of course, the main thing is the people who are attending and the competiton being played. At the moment it seems to be the standard mob going to both, depending on whether Cincin is topping up the pot or not...
