Any Port in a storm? Southampton get it right. For some.

am a believer that if you advertise an event with a such n such structure then it shouldnt be changed unless there is enough time to readvertise it.

for arguments sake what if you all turned up sunday and grosvenor said we have changed the structure to 5000 points and a 30 min clock?

[Royal Flush]

The best part was when the guy kicked off at the TD about the change, the TD tried to calm him down but in the end just pointed at Tikay in a "it was him" kinda way, lol

More "how can i argue with an old man"

My opinion is that if the majority of the players want the change, they should change it.

Remember, they always advertise the fact that they reserve the right to do so anyway.

IMO structure changes should be managed the same way as deals are... If 1 person objects to a change to the advertised structure then they must stick to it.

'ti true! And the geezer never said a word to me, but he didn't arf give the Cardroom Manager an earful! Difficult spot, because it was his decision, not mine, but I woild have defended my stance if asked.

But the guy got soooo excited, shouting & hollering, a right hoo-hah. Why can't foilks keep calm? What happened to reasoning calmly & intelligently? Win a lot more battles that way, I'll tell you. Guess society as a whole is losing that skill.

so if they altered it to 5000pts and 30 min clock you would accept that after travelling 2 hours to get there?

In point of fact, mid argument, Manager points at me and says "he asked for it to be changed, & he's a pro".....I nearly died with embarrassment.

When I move on from poker, I've got some grand memories, I tell ya.

Yes I would. If that's what the MAJORITY wanted.

Me? Nah, I'd turn round & go home. I'd not chunter either. Poker is what I do for fun, it's not an excuse to whinge about anything & everything that does not suit me "just so".

As I keep saying, I'm a funny bugger. I'd not swap with a soul, though.

Yeah people acting that way is quite sad.

The first player to get knocked out was on our table, he had already has his double chance and the TD didn't notice and put the 5k in front of him after seeing him lose the pot, the player then picked up the chips and threw them across the table! I would not expect that from a child!

Another player took a beat, a very bad one as it happens, and was kicking chairs over! He then finally returned to the table and just berated the guy who made the call for a solid 20 minutes (it was Dimiti the cricketer who is clearly new to the game) a great way to ensure these people come back!

People like that ruin the comp for me, i play live poker for fun, i am finding it hard to enjoy events more and more these days as people act in this manner. I was telling tighty earlier, i was praying to be moved onto your table as all we heard were laughs.

Lol, reminds me of the other week at one of our games on Friday nights... cash game, i take down a pot to wipe out this other fellow of his 3rd buy in i guess with a full house. Alls i do is turn over my cards and claim full house, and look round only to see him throw a dealer button at my face!! lollol... needless to say he soon left!

[dik9]

Kev has it spot on, if its a unanimous with all the players and the house, yes then go for it, although as a TD now i will be getting suggestions from every tom, dick or harry as how i should run a tourny to their advantage. I do listen to players, however when 10 people come running up to me with their own different suggestions, should i now listen to the one that is the most well known? Or should i remember the meeting where all the cardroom supervisors sit down and discuss at length what structure we should use and why, what are the pro's and con's for each structure, because someone decided it should have been 7500 on a 45 min clock for some reason? Not saying it is right, but someone has just had a row somewhere me thinks. The idea is to get the structure right before announcing the event. It used to be a gaming board requirement for the structure to be posted 24 hours in advance. Say for instance Gus Hanson walks in after TK and says probably be a better tourny with 12,000 chips and Phil Ivey says make it 15k on a 90 minute clock. Where do you draw the line. Manager says yeah your the pro, wouldn't want to upset you, lets do it. (Sounds good actually, but i digress) but do you understand what i am saying?
