Grovsenor Grand Prix 2006 - Interactive Final Day

[sofa----king]

i think people are forgetting in the early stages of a pot limit tourney it takes a while for a lot of players to settle down with the, raise, re-raise,re- re-raise, and it still aint 1000 in the pot ....pot limit imho is a more slower and SKILLFULL game that takes more time than no limit as to the raise, re-raise all inn business i think the structure was good the field was good BUT ,i woulda put flight 1a on friday night 1b saturday afternoon and final 110  ish start saturday night ,,,then final sunday,but who am i i wasnt in it lol

I think there are pro's and cons to both No Limit AND Pot Limit. Personally No Limit doesn't seem to suit me. I don't like the fact that your pre-flop raises can attract several callers, it's hard enough to outplay or put 1 or 2 players on a hand, never mind several. For this reason, I think hitting flops is so much more imoprtant in Pot Limit, and hitting hands contains a large luck factor.

very well put snoops,,your not as daft as i thought hehe you are very right in what you say thats why you need to read your oponents well in the earl stages to see what chit there playing lol good point m8

Well put Red,.. Just a small point Tikay. If they have seating for 200 then the sats should have stopped when they reached that number. Good management means tough decisions, as you have just found out when you made a tough but right decision on the event in Scotland. 

Well yes Denis, that's correct. But......

What happened here was that they wanted to Guarantee a nice "headline" figure - a £300,000 GUARANTEED Pool, & £100,000 GURANANTEED to the winner. Nominally, that is, pre the players puttng their oar in.....

It's so easy to knock the organisers of these things, & I'm very supportive of Grosvenor & Blue Square, on the whole. But Commercial Gaming Organisations DO think in very strange ways. It's like we MUST say £100,000, or £250,000, or £500,000, or £1,000,000.

You see, £93,000, £219,000, £473,000 & £912,000 don't - in THEIR eyes - have the same appeal!

So, the large number of players arose as they were trying to ensure that the Guarantee was "covered".

Anyway, it's been 2 months of great fun, imo. I love his Comp, but I do hope they give us an extra day next year.

When we kicked off, the board said 120k for 1st. Was this an error, or could the software not handle some of the additional prizes?

One of the dealers said it was because the computer system was programmed to pay out that way and that they didnt know how to manually change it yet.

The figures quoted by Walsall Grosvenor were correct from the outset. My figures were purely hypothetical, to make a point.

tikkay is romanello starting to get on there nerves yet? now watch him go into overdrive, he wont stop .it do get on your nerves after a bit but hey what the heck if its allowed ,then use it i think table talk is fab so long as your not rude ,who you hurting??

[NoflopsHomer]

Yep, Zippy doubled thru Roberto, Q-9 vs 6-6, a queen on the flop and another on the turn. Roberto was down to 60k but has stolen a few blinds to get up to 130k. blinds are 8k/16k

I would like to apologise.... have i got 10%?

[tikay]

Indeed, Zippy has doubled through. He has a remarkably aggressive game. No offence to Ash, the Rankings Leader, but if  a stranger appeared on the scene & watched them both play (Ash & Zippy) they'd be forgiven for not knowing which was the better player, they both have great, but very different, game.

Another who has caught the eye - I think snoopy gave him a shout-out earlier - is Peter Smyth. He has nearly 300k now. Very quietly does he go about his work, this fella, but he just keeps raking in little Pots - lots of them.

At the other end of Peter's table is Roberto - now there IS a contrast. King of Speech-Play, though it's NOT malicious or rude, just non-stop in yer face. Welsh, see? Another great player.

[NoflopsHomer]

Here's the remaining two tables.
