blonde league feedback

[Royal Flush]

I would consider talking to you on matters surrounding the blonde cardroom CS.....

Not to mention how long it took to get my account across from Tribeca!

Fact is, you have never had any bad CS from blonde have you ? Jack Bauer was last seen on the blonde cardroom on March 14th

Like i say actually take on board some of the feedback you get and supply a wider range of tournaments and i will play.

It would be nice in an ideal world to put on an event that would please everyone, alas that will never happen, so therefore it is best practise to put on events that the majority want.

I think you will find that you are very much in the minority that have a problem with blonde Customer Support, any problems are dealt with swiftly and im sure there are many blondes that can confirm this.

Im happy to leave it there. I think I have made my point.

How about a range of tournaments......i am not asking for every blonde comp to be a $500 freezeout.....

I don't have a 'problem' with it, i just find blue square CS to be superior.

Because it would be easy for the people who play the higher buyin events to start playing the lower buyin events to boost some points but not the other way round, which would be unfair.

It's all a moot point anyway, I have to work for a living so can't play any of the league events.

[Acidmouse]

It would be sad if the league had events that were out of reach for the normal Blonde forum users.

People have to remember most blonde forum users play for fun, and thats what the league should be all about. To suggest much higher entry tourneys for the league is frankly absurd and missing the point.

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.

Without being pedantic or anything isn't a rebuy an erm rebuy?
If folks have a budget then they can still stick to it no?
Folks should be free to do what they want or they should all be freezeouts.......

p.s, page 1 is as far as i got.
p.p.s. i will play the next weeks

[Colchester Kev]

Yes mate a rebuy is a rebuy, whether you have 100 rebuys or 2 ... its still a rebuy.

[Irishdenis]

Flushy I hope you take my comments with good intentions. Kev has for a number of months put on tournaments of various size. At the moment it is believed that we would not get a good turn out for a Blonde only $300 or $500 event. In fact our $50 with a guarantee did not on two occasions make the numbers to cover the costs.We put a thread on the forum asking players what they wanted to see on the site. The response was an affordable league which would not exclude anyone.

Kev in my opinion responding to your posts in the manner he is because he is trying to do the best for the community. I would hope you can understand that. We would love you to play some of the events you are happy with network wide on Blonde. It would show you are in fact supporting the site.

I hope this makes sense to you.

not true i believe if you walk into any cardroom in the country and play a rebuy they are not limited by amount only by time.

The last time I went to Gala Notts 3 of their weekly competitions were limited rebuys.

Were they described as such??

[totalise]

What are the arguments against playing rebuy tourneys against nutters? I know Kev said people dont like it, but no reasons why

heres some arguments why you should like it:

a) they will bloat the prize pool enormously
b)they are giving the rest of the table a fantastic change to accumulate a big stack
c) they probably dont care too much about winning the tourney, and once the rebuy period is over they will likely chunk off their chips somewhere to play something else

logical reasons why people dont like it would be welcomed!

Don't answer, from the blonde homepage:-


Mondays:  (8.30pm) £30 PLH R/B, 90 mins

Tuesdays: (7.30pm) £10 NLH 3xR/B, 60 mins

Wednesdays: (7.30pm) £20 NLH 2xR/B, 75 mins

Thursdays: (8.30pm) £50 NLH 2xR/B, 75 mins

Fridays:  (8.30pm) £20 NLH R/B, 90 mins

Sundays: (2.30pm) £30 NLH F/O & (8.30pm) £50 PLH R/B

I suppose the main answer would be bankroll restraints, if you know that someone on your table is gambling all the time, you are fearful of playing because you don't have the money to compete.

the games are supposed to be fun and all inclusive, not a dick measuring contest to see who has the biggest bankroll.


I personally can see both sides of the coin, the tourneys when requested were for 2 levels of rebuys and an add on ... this got loaded wrong somewhere along the line and wasn't picked up on until the comp started, I take responsibility for that and i apologise.

But now that it has happened, I kind of like the concept of limited rebuys in league comps.

[KingPoker]

I had hoped to steamroll the league but alas its not to be, i have had commtments for the first 2 league tourneys so have yet to be able to give my feedback on what it is like to actually play in them but...
I have no problem whatsoever with the unlimited rebuy comments, as the obvious main benefit has been pointed out already and that is it boosts the prizepool fairly significantly. As a tag i welcome all the lags into these games as it gives me the best possible chances to go in % wise with the hand and build my stack for the f/o stage. Thats how i do it in live games so dont quite see why the rebuys should be capped (i understand it was a mix up in the correspondance this time as it was meant to be r/b's for 2 levels) but to think every rebuy tourney should be capped is more than a bit silly to me. People who have a smaller b/r for which i am certainly one doesnt mean im gonna rebuy 10/15/20 times just coz its unlimited, i know before hand what my limit will be and dont need somebody else to pull on the reigns for me.
So although i understand it was a administrative mistake this time but there is no need for limited rebuy tourneys should blonde host any in the near future.
Just one fish's opinion anyhow....
