[action man]

weird structure, agonisingly slow for 9 levels then too quick in the last 3 or 4 levels

[RH12]

A round on 37 if you get chance please

[NigDawG]

weird structure, agonisingly slow for 9 levels then too quick in the last 3 or 4 levels

was similar in the 2k. i dont mind having bigger starting stacks if thats what people want but we really dont need to be 500bb deep ever. imo if 50k stacks then we should be starting @ 100/200 (with 25 antes would make it even better but fine without if it has to be that way for the main). it's a waste of everyone's time in those first few levels, and particularly for re-entry events we should be encouraging a bit more action early. would also encourage people to register on time, although again this might only be an issue in side events.

Tom Kugelstadt raises and peels a 3 bet from Feargal Nealon with 8-9dd

it comes 6-8-9 and he gets his stack in check raising and calling a shove from Aces

the river coems a 6 to counterfiet him and knock him out today
