Could we possibly get an Omaha Hi/Lo Event added if we do another league.

"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."

I used to play in a league type weekly event organised on another forum and played on another site and part of the attraction to me at the time (as a novice player) was to get the chance to play against some very well repected names for a modest buy-in when all were enjoying the craic yet all also playing to win for the bragging rights.

Apreciate those that make a living from the game this is not +EV but then surely in life we all need time to switch off from whatever field of work pays the bills. I love the chance to play against names where it won't cost me a large percentage of my bankroll just to learn from them (it's why I play sats to get into large buy-in live events Wink

).

No competiton is ever put on to please everyone, but this is a chance for "low-roll larry" to take on "Big-Bucks Barry", scalp him (or more oftn lose to him lol) and brag about it while feeling his game is maybe heading the right way by watching/learning from better players/strategists Wink

I'll try to play as many as I can but my vote is happily with limited rebuys & freezeouts.

cheers

I remember them well! They were good fun those games. Byronkincaid was a regular in them too, as I recall.

May i ask the outcome?
Did any feed back get fed back or what?
Is it to be left?
is it to be put as was supposed?
Has a decision been made?
Should there even be a decision?
Is anyone there???

I never thought I'd say this, but I think unlimited rebuys would be better. Last night it just got to all in or fold. The blinds were so high and there wasn't enough chips about to make a reasonable move without committing all your chips.

Yeah, the play from quite a way out was push/fold. Obviously that played into the hands of the lesser skilled players.

Unlimited rebuys may be better, but it might just need 12 or 15 minute blinds instead of the 10 minutes we had last night. One of the differences between a Blonde rebuy and a normal one is that hardly anyone drops out before the break. This means nearly everyone is still in when the blinds hit 100/200 - obviously not condusive to creative play. I'm not sure if there is the scope for, say, two 30 minute levels in the first hour, then quicker levels thereon - if there is that might be an idea.

Otherwise, unlimited rebuys or 15 minute levels are probably needed.

So about two and a half hours. How long would it have gone on for if it had been an unlimited rebuy tournament? As was mentioned earlier, most (if not all would have still been in), and the stacks would have been larger in size relative to the blinds.

This might add say another hour to the tournament?

Would that make it too long (for a friendly league tournament), or would it be better like that? Just thinking out loud really...

True,

Not an easy one to get right. The overall time of the tourney was nice last night. Not sure what the solution is.

Last night's tournament ended at 11.26, so just shy of three hours.

Maybe rebuys could start at 8?
