blonde league feedback

[Colchester Kev]

After last nights rebuy, in which the tourny was set up to allow only 2 rebuys, It has been pointed out that the next league rebuy has the same format.

Personally, now that we are aware that it is MAX 2 rebuys and an add on, I am minded to leave it as this. The reason being, it allows everyone to take part and know the cost implications before hand.

Thoughts please ?

 I will participate in future rebuy events now i know this.

Two maximum is nice, allows a bit of crazy all in time for those that like it and also acts as a buffer for those that don't want to donate a fortune.

You'll still throw it all in Kev with 7-3 o/s on a Q-K-3 board during the first hour!!!

[matt674]

oh and can we change it so flushy has unlimited rebuys for the benefit of everyone else at his table?

Dont like it tbh, entered last nights plannin to rebuy as many times as needed to get a stack, and had no idea bout the max of 2, hence my blind all ins 1st 2 hands. Luckily i won both.

Enjoying the league, but you should be able to rebuy as much as you like to boost prizepool and deepen stacks, sorry Acid.

yep - sounds fair enough.  Could we perhaps have one towards the end of the league that's unlimited rebuys though?  Maybe drop it to $3?

That wasn't the question though was it?

Rebuys, schmebuys.  Learn to play poker and you'll be fine.

The league events are advertised and set in stone im affraid, so there wont be any amendments to the advertised schedule.

Horneris, I get your point, however the league comps are intended to be all inclusive and people on a limited bankroll have been put off by the thought of mugs like me shoving it in everyhand trying to get a stack ... if people are aware that maximum spend can be accounted for, i think it will boost numbers.

I can change the rebuy structure, but am loathe too. although I will go with the majority view.

[kinboshi]

I think you should do whatever Horneris doesn't want.

The rebuy-fests in the last league were better IMO, especially in Omaha where the outdraws are far more frequent.

Assuming that you got through the rebuy stage of these there were then so many chips in play that the freezeout stage became well structured.  Without the unlimited rebuys, I doubt you'll get the same benefit this time around.

Also, weren't the old rebuy events $3 buy-in, rather than $5?  If so then I think a $3 unlimited rebuy is far better than a $5 capped rebuy event.

I think it's better that someone can't 'buy league points' by getting all Negreanuesque in a rebuy event. Two max plus an add-on is fine.

EDIT: That's a bit silly actually - i haven't thought that through - you can't 'buy' the points. I do think that a limit helps people plan better in what is, after all, a social game.

well from a non yet participant's point of view ....as i don't do omaha...yetttttttttt.........i think too if it is a league... capped is better for everone's pkt...plus as Andrew says one should not be able to buy points..

[totalise]

Thoughts please ?

seems silly.. its not like they are obligated to rebuy just because they are allowed to. Let them make up their own budget and let the gamblers gamb0000l
