as the live poker board isn't frequented by everyone i wanted to put this here, i think it's an interesting topic.

Why put the blinds back? Who benefits?

I chopped this 3 way but am really annoyed with myself for 2 bad decisions.

I was CL going into the final table with 140k out of 400k and blinds at 3k/6k going to 4/8 shortly but the TD put the blinds back to 1k/2k, why on earth i didn't kick up a fuss having said before i think this is highly objectionable for the CL. It's also bad for the guy finishing 11th as he may well not have pushed had he known.

The chop was 3 way with the chips standing 280k, 70k and 50k (me) and the blinds at 5k/10k. Stated prizes were 1800, 960 and 660, the deal ended with 1500, 1000 and 920. I think this is a terrible chop with me giving away just less than a 4/1 gamble when i wasn't a 4/1 dog to win it.

Kudos to the guy who took 1st as he got the chips and played it perfectly, unfortunately the cards completely deserted me from 6 handed on.

the comp lasted 11 hours and i was so tired at the end i sort of forgive myself for making such a stupid deal but you live and learn.

Any thoughts appreciated....

And it was nice to see the nun and i assume Mr Nun (shame you didn't push the turn with that A10) at the tables.

With 5 BB's I dont think the deal was that Bad really.

As for putting the blinds back to 1k 2k on the FT - I would of screamed Blue Murder If I was such a big C/L!!!!!

The rolling back of the blinds, if not announced before the tourney, is something you just can't do. Especially such a big step...it's ridiculous and I would have objected.

The deal for someone with just a few chips at those blind levels is a decent one though.

so the deal wasn't to bad. feel a bit better.

rolling back the blinds is a fantastic idea,  allowing the comp to be played out  fully  and not becoming a crapshoot.

not that rare in LIVE  well run tourneys,and should be done more imho.

the deal is not that bad once ur in 5bb  territory either.

given this info, i will make greater efforts to attend their next event.

rolling back the blinds is fantastic...IF you have been told in advance they were going to do this...if not it's a bad idea.
