Chompy's Recidivist 2010 G Luton League/Scrabble thread

[GMan]

Uh ooooo!!

Another Dick Lynch on blonde//


BEWARE!!!

[relaedgc]

In so far as I am aware, it was agreed to revert back to 20 minutes on Wednesday, but, I am just a dealer so I am not included in any decision making. I will speak with Ian about the competition though and hopefully confirm once and for all.

I could just be living in a dream land, however.

LOL at this thread.
It should be renamed Late Night Counselling for Rocky and ITB Degens imo.

I do agree with your comments tho Gotchy (although I'm on the 8.58 to London today, instead of the 7.15 - oops!)

I really don't understand why they have to fk the structure of that Wed pm comp up (not to mention unneccessarily tampering with Monday's FFS).
Surely if they r 24x7 now and they cash games going to lunch time, then the tourneys can continue too?!
If someone has to go to work then tough sht imo.
Make a decision - phone in sick, book day off, whatever.
If that causes people problems thn don't play.
At least it would be a decent comp.

They should be consistent, and in the very least announce th structure before the bloody comp begins!
They can't just change things "willy nilly" (how th fk do u spell that, and wot the bleedin' hell does it mean anyway?!)
Shame.

Lol re Lisa Marie. I think that would be cruel to Jackets to let Chumpy get hold of that one!

Excellent, only another 40 mins b4 I am at work; yawn.
Is it 8.30 pm yet; ........CHIPS PLZ.....

Drainy over and out.

- Wednesdays....at 20 minute clock all the way through its pretty much unplayable. On an estimate of 13 hands per level, circa one every ninety seconds, that gives you 60 odd hands before you have 10xbb assuming no progress...so in effect you have a re-shoving stack by level 3 and a pushing stack at level 4 unless in the first 60 hands you manage to make progress

Of course players should adapt to whatever structure they choose to play but 60 hands before there is no play seems grim to me

That's assuming you get 13 hands per level. To do so you've got to assume you don't get

- A multi-dimensional scream up on how this dealer never gives him any cards

- A China Mug scream up on some rule or other, and requests for new decks

- A Joe Hachem wannabe dwell up with the stone cold nuts for imaginary TV effect

- A post river Slowroll by Georgious Chemical Ali Micheal Michael Darvish Hamid for tilting opponents effect

- A USA "I bang the table so hard when I win a pot I cause aftershocks in Haiti" Dennis induced table tilt up

In practice one or more of the above is going to happen, making 13 hands per level and 60-65 by level 4 and blinds of 200-400 just a pipe dream 


The idea above seems good to me

- guarantee a 30 minute clock at least up to midnight. If need be you can announce a reduction to 20 minutes then if its a Wed night with 80+ runners

- Put 150-300 back in. The effect on the playability is huge

- Reduce the starting chips. 7000 is fine. With antes.


I know here you hit a problem. It can be summarised in my recent conversation with Coco Pops

"Good evening Coco Pops"

nervous chuckle, grim "wtf does he always come to me"smile "Good evening Richard"

"Nice new schedule, bit concerned the comps are going on forever. A few tweaks are needed aren't they?"

fixed grin, get me out of here look "Well if need be yes, but its early days" let me waffle without committing to anything and hope he goes away

"If you reduced Wednesday's chips from 10,000 to say 7,000 you'd go a long way to solving the problem"

He's still here? I wish I was in the cereal Aisle at Lidl "But people like the starting chips"

"Logically then, have 30,000 starting chips and a 5 minute clock, you'd get 200 here"

Oh no, he's at it again, taking my comments and trying to twist them "Well, um, but, um"

"Anyway Coco my old son, leave it with you"


......I accept that you don't want to be disenfranchising 91 punters, many of whom come because they think they are getting oodles of chips and a deepstack and haven't got as far as realising it's a daft comp...but I would have thought you'd have happier regulars, most of whom would love to play on Wednesdays, if you put something on they want to play


p.s I also know that the powers that be weren't happy that all the toruney punters were stuck in the comp to silly o clock and no cash table revenue was coming in


I think there is a happy medium though...its not 20 minute clock and no filler levels, and at the other end its not 30 minutes with all levels. Something in between please to give everyone something to moan at!

LOL. Only 91 players and loads of play but no scorers. Tez dunks the lot of ya's.

*Alex, did you pick up your trophies? I was happier leaving the shield on the desk Monday night with Ian and Raj on duty than had it been Kalam (prob would have ended up as a free gift in a box of Mega Munchers) but was a bit concerned it might disappear.

Well ‘innit’ he wasn’t and Carry on Poker had ended - so it was down to the nitty gritty.

Great line !

You make a good point there,who cares what Stringfellows lovechild thinks anyway

Youve known me plenty of years Paul,am i turning into a miserable moany old fart?

Can you imagine me ten years ago sitting on the internet moaning about nothing at 2.36 am?

Would have been all over Chompys misses like a rash in the old days,all i got were a few awkward moments when our eyes met after she caught me trying cop a look one to many times

I play like Dick Lynch,dont tell me im turning into him

Perhaps its like a poker virus,ive got a terminal case of the mdd`s

MEH

Post of the year thus far imo. I think we're all turning into MDD, it's like a poker player's right of passage or something.

I've often thought casinos should run a deepdeepstack game where you start with 100,000 chips and 25/50 blind levels. The demand would be huge! 100,000 chips! 100,000!!!! Apparantly customers don't care about blind structures so just use the following:

25/50
1000/2000
1500/3000
2000/4000
etc

[Drain Alien]

Just realised that I don't actually know wot MDD stands for.

My guess is......Multi Dimensional Dk?

Is that
[ ] True
or
[ ] False

?

[Drain Alien]

Can someone on a pc pls tell me wot page the full list of entrants is on.
I can't face scanning 28 pages on my iPhone
tks

PS, [  ] You sure don't need a hobby

[Chompy]

Here are my suggestions for what it's worth...


Wednesday (10,000 chips)

25-50 30mins
50-100 30mins

BREAK

75-150 25mins
100-200 25mins
150-300 (25 ante) 25mins
200-400 (50) 25mins

BREAK

300-600 (75) 25mins
400-800 (100) 25mins
600-1200 (100) 25mins
800-1600 (200) 25mins

BREAK

1000-2000 (200) 20mins
1500-3000 (300) 20 mins
2000-4000 (400) 20 mins
3000-6000 (500) 20 mins, and so on.

Monday (3 x 3,000 chips), same structure

Also, print off the schedule each month A2 size and stick it up on the entrance to the poker room.
Print off structure sheets for every event and stick to them.

[W4SP]

Consider it done. Looks like no objection to you having your score backdated, so you get your 21pts, much to W4SP's chagrin.

I'm very disappointed that there was not more complaining! However I am sure I will be able to claw it back...after all you can't run that good every week! ;-)

No game this week though, so the comeback will have to wait!
