I like the double chance trnys because it give the lower limits players a chance to play poker with a decent stack. I always take my chips at the start and can't see any good reason not to.

The £30 trny at the Isle in Coventry is proving popular with 80 players last week. They don't charge any entrance fee at the moment and say that they will have dealers trained up in 7 weeks.

I think people are getting fed up with the £10 1000 chip all in bingo nonsense poker.

I totally agree, Bingo poker is the way it is, ok u can go to them with your £20 or £30 and try and play tight and just wait for the hands, but then some people just try and build up a stack and all in all in, and bang you have been spiked and its all over..

To be honest i have no real preference whether it is double chance or a pure freezeout and feel that tactical consideration regarding taking the 2nd allocation are often very negligible, i can certain situation where a weak player has accumulated some chips taking the 2nd chance as you want to play as deep as you can against a weak opponent.

Though rebuys are a bit "bingo" poker, the +ev in them if you know how to play short stacked correctly is massive. I happen to believe my long term ev is alot greater in rebuy tournaments, but this does suit my style as sng specialist i know when to shove my stack and when not to.

Both ways of running Double Chance Freezeouts are acceptable by the Gaming Commission so long as it is stated before the competition starts, which one it is.

So you don't have to be stuck just running it one way LordandMaster.

Btw see you in Nottingham soon I'm sure.

Another reason I like the Westerns double chance is that they have a starting level of 25/25 rather than 25/50, but it's more the extra level I like than the dc.
