Let's not forget that they are still playing for a lot of money, it's not as if they split the whole prize pool.

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

....meanwhile, Mick Fltecher is MURDERING his table. Raise, Raise, Re-Re-Raise.

He assures me he's not stealing. Had Aces 37 times in the last hour alone. He's up to 450k.

He's an awesome opponent once he garners a working stack.

Is there a picture of Mick Fletcher available?

[quantify]

were  4 hours behind in royal kingdom of preston..
any news of zippys chipstack.

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.

I think there are pro's and cons to both No Limit AND Pot Limit. Personally Pot 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.

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?

Would you like a picture of me too?

That really is less of a deal and more a flattening of the prize-structure anyway.
