Thanks all for the support. It really helps knowing people are funking for you.

Really wanted to do a win so I could get my pic with my new Eureka family.

A word on rastafish also. Yes he hits hands and yes he isn't technically great but he has such an aura about him. He's tough to play against and beat me up heads up. He deserved the victory.

I'll settle for 2nd. It's better than 32nd!

Great score George! Well played, we knew you were due a deep run sooner rather than later!

Shelley, I hope there was some left by the time he got home! See you both up Leicester soon.

Top updates, will be down for the June weekender!

The no deals policy makes for some dull final tables

Discuss

- Players sit around for the first four levels of finals laddering and not wanting to gamble it up

- At 50-100k+ the blinds force some action, but the shortstacks can still wait and wait

- the payout jumps are too steep to make good finals when combined with no deals makes it like watching cement set.


I am seeing players with 5-7x bb here folding the button in unopened pots. Not George or Andrew, the other players.

Tough to watch.

 

payouts are much too steep if your not allowing deals. Flatten the payout structure OR allow deals imo. Play is much too shallow on these 'deepstack' FT's for anyone to play, when avgs are <25bb you just dont have the room to be 3betting light and 4betting on a regular basis. Also, good players will not peel flops on these stack sizes. Therefore you will see less flops and are just waiting for people to cooler each other.

All these reasons are why more recreational players who will not play for these sums of money very often will nitroll to 5bb or whatever because they are scared and are happy to just ladder.

-Flatten the payout structure
-Allow no deals.
-Keep the new levels in.
-Play more levels on day 1 (and have a longer clock on day 2 (50min-1hr)

These are the changes I would make if i was TD.

People seeing flops = people busting quicker. Allowing more play should let this happen.

Just my 2cents.

just wana bring this forward for the possibility anyone higher up in DTD reads.

Also, other peoples opinions are encouraged on the matter because it seems to be quite a big issue.

They can't keep adding more play.

All those saying "thanks for the last 3 days tighty" are completely wrong. Thanks for the last 4 days tighty! This is now a 3 day comp squeezed into 2 days. The last two have been playing for 14 hours on day 2. They may as well have played the final table today (Tuesday). I know, people have work today but I'd be surprised if any of the final table players are capable of doing any gainful employment today. Last month it was even worse.

At the end of the day, all tournaments are crapshoots. Sooner or later, you're going to end up flipping for your tournament life. That's true whether it's the £15 freezeout or the WSOP Main Event. You've got to balance the need to have some skill with the need to fit the tournament into the time available.
