blonde league feedback

[tikay]

A bit naughty that Tikay, if Flushy doesn't wanna play he doesn't have to.
There are some mods on here that don't support the cardroom.

As for the whole rebuy limited thing there are 10 events (i think) in the league, those that don't like unlimited rebuys can avoid those events because only 5 events count.
I actually won't have that choice as i can only play every other week, so i would like unlimited and i can  excercise discipline as to how many rebuys i have.

Exactly my point aswell ian!
And surely you want somebody going all in every hand??!! I just sit back and wait for premium and then double up. Yes he may suck out once or twice but mathematically you are going to win more of them than you lose so why not have someone who seems almost kind enough to give you their chips!
Just because you have more dough to rebuy doesnt guarantee you are going to get chips!!!!! Poker is a game of skill and tactics and you just have to alter your style to suit the rebuy format, it will make you a better all round player to have that under your belt aswell.

100% correct. I've seen folks throw 20 rebuys at a Tourney & still not cash. But that's not the point. They have a better chance than those that can't afford so to do.

Yes but poker isnt a level playing field anyway, if im being serious here for the only time i ever will be about this subject, i know yourself and flushy are 10x the player i am so you have an edge anyway even if its a freezeout! Its all about the challenge and i for one and quite happy to try and rise to it.

Fair play to you fella, you are brave considering you are a Welshie.....

Of course I'm not 10 times the player you are, nor is Flushy, nor is anyone, the "edge" in poker is quite small. Mind you, if we can have 10 times the amount of rebuys you do, then we have a better chance.

There are many, many, lower buy-in playewrs on blonde who'd feel "left out" or disadvantaged if we did multi rebuyfests. There is room for both views, but not in the same Events.

I do agree but i think maybe one or 2 unlimited rebuys out of 10 tourneys isnt out of the question as i think IFM said only you top 5/6 results count anyway so if you dont like playing the unlimted ones you have the other 8 out of 10 to choose from.

That skirts the issue.

Yes, only 5 Events count. The idea being, that you can play all or most of them, "miss" in a few, & still have a chance. If 5 were multi-rebuys, those that can't afford rebuyfests would be disadvantaged.

Kev is tryiing make it fair, & fun, for as many as possible.

And kev is doing a great job but as i have already said, i have missed the first 2 so am oblidged to play prety much all of them now but it certainly doesnt or wouldnt psychologically effect my playing in all of them if i were to find out 2 or 3 of them were unlimited rebuys.
Its just another string to your bow that you have to have if you want to be an all round poker player. You just need discipline and if you dont have that then perhaps you should not be playing poker anyway.
Its all about the wolf and sheep mentality (no sheep jokes plz!).

I'm with King Poker on this.  When I've played the unlimited rebuys in blonde leagues as well I've always been clear how many rebuys I'm going to allow myself.  Then I've prayed that JackBauer and co will be at my table.  In one of the $3 rebuys a league or 2 ago with 20 odd runners I was lucky enough to get $99 for a second place finish, having only forked out my initial $3 and timed my early calls well.  I think these low stake unlimited rebuys offer great value for the player on a budget, rather than vice versa and, as I've said, it would be my preference to see at least one or two in this league.

Shocked to see the rebuys limited but i think it gives more play early on as opposed to the bingo players who like to take risks. I'm happy either way. Just my tuppence worth!!!

[sharky_uk]

I was under the impression that the limited rebuys was not actually planned but a mistake.

Maybe I was wrong 

[Colchester Kev]

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.

From earlier in the thread.

[sharky_uk]

Maybe I should read the whole thread before posting!

Thanks for helping to sort out my password problem yesterday.  Class Support!!

By the way - I think the league is perfectly structured!

I think this is the point, the league was set up, were there any objectors?
Then a mistake happened and Kev has asked for feedback and has had plenty.
I reckon it should go to a vote, simple change it as it was first agreed or leave as is.

[Royal Flush]

Of course I'm not 10 times the player you are, nor is Flushy, nor is anyone, the "edge" in poker is quite small. Mind you, if we can have 10 times the amount of rebuys you do, then we have a better chance.

We have a much better chance of doing our money, normally i needed 2nd to break even in these events.

Exactly flushy, another gd point!
Was gonna use the marcel luske 2.5k wad in the 250 quid rebuy to point this out but forgot. Puts a lot of pressure on them to play well later in the stages to place high and see an ROI so the metaphoric tables change later in the f/o stage!

[Jonboy]

Personally I would advocate a simple solution.

With around ten events, declare one as 'rebuy madness' $5 or $10 rebuy (even $3). Players like flushy (and me if I played) can go all in with 'Any Two' and swell the prize pool. If players are averse to it they can skip it and stick to the other nine events ... to get their best five.

It also gives he opportunity for low stakes players to play tight, have limited re-buys, and participate in what is probably going to be the largest prize pool of the league (if they choose).

Keep the other re-buys to 2+ an add-on. This will not 'scare' off players from entering the other events.... but the re-buy madness even will be the most fun!? (and possibly the only event I would play!?)

[Irishdenis]

Just a quick point on the league to date if you dint mind. So far it has had the largest player participation of all our events.  As has been pointed out the two rebuy situation was a mistake. When this league is done I am sure Kev will ask for ideas for the next one.
I personally would love to see a $200 /$300 event on a Sunday. It could become the focus of the cardroom as in other sites. I know Kev is also organising Blonde only cash tables. I think it might be one hold em and one Omaha.  I might be wrong in this. i am told it might be $1 / $2    This should be fun. And finally he also intends to hold a Blonde series of poker "BSOP" week later in the year. This will be bigger events with lots of Sat's in the month before.    Kev can you confirm ! ! !

Feel free to give your opinion on these possible events. I am sure Kev would appreciate the input.

[Tonji]

All good nothing bad in my book. I'll be taking part when ever possible.
