This tournament will be great value and therefore I will charge 1.2 I'm not going to tell you why it's great value because I may offend people but trust me.
Vs
I'm going to charge 1.2 the reasons I think I can justify it is because winamax have qualified 100 French players in and I believe vs them it creates extra value.
The 2nd one is far more valid if you dot agree French players are bad then dont buy but if people want to sell at markup they should at least justify it.
Think we are at cross purposes here Plinop.
One of the reasons I rarely buy stakes now is that markups got a bit silly, but I have no objection to mark ups whatsoever, people can charge whatever they like, it's their right. It's also my right to keep my money in my pocket. I am fine with both sides of that debate. Live & let live, I don't give a monkeys if folks want 1.6, thats entirely up to them. On occasion, they are worth it, too.
My point was that almost every Proposal was couched in "
this is a soft Tourney" like stuff. VERY few are much softer than any others, it is a self-correcting thing. Read 100 of them, & compare results from these "soft" Tourneys". In many cases, it ends with a bustout to "
some idiot made a shocking call"......! The irony is astonishing, cake & eat it & all that.
We see so much "crowd thinking" here.
Tourneys with Frenchies in are soft. Maybe so, but the difference is immeasurably small & requires a monsta sample size to justify.
It reminds me of "
x.com is a soft site, they are all fish, the standard of play is shocking. (Next Door is a good example). Really? Someone will have to explain to me why poker players, most of whom lose money nice & slowly, don't all flock there if it really is easier. Let us say they play 25p-50p, & they 10 Table. If the site really were "soft", & they were 10 Tabling, they could make, what, an extra £10 per table per day, (ONE fifth of a buy-in extra per table), so £100 per day, or £700 per week. Call it £35,000 per year MORE than on, say, 'Stars. And people turn that down, because the software
puts them on life-tilt? I dont buy that, not for a second. Poker players do ANYTHING for supposed value, & so they should. In return for an EXTRA £35,000 per year, we won't play a particular site because the software tilts us? Nah, not buying. They could buy a nice new shiny motorcar with £35,000. Poker has an inbuilt self-correction. Where value exists, players will flock, & that reduces or negates the supposed value eventually.
I just want to challenge conventional thinking, much of which is just copying what originated on 2+2, or out of the mouth of a
hero.
There are not many "soft" sites or Tourneys, except to the smallest degree, it is a much over-estimated phenom. IMO, of course.
