I will be there from 7th to the 10th. I'm thinking about getting a Blonde Mohawk, should distinguish myself from the crowd.  jk What's the tournament structure like down by the seaside? Starting Chips? Clock? Any funny rules 1 should be aware of? Also, am I wrong in thinking a double chance tourney is 1 rebuy allowed? |

HI T-V-B
Yup a "Double chance" is a freezeout but with 2x starting chips available.. So normally any time during first couple of levels you can elect to take a second load of chips at no extra cost or if not taken by the end of the second level you get them automatically at the end of the period-- It is not a rebuy..
Hope that helps

Thanks Malc. I was waiting for you to answer that as I didn't know until the other day when you enlightened me.
So when is the best time to take the second lot?

depends if you travel all day to get there and worried about someone playing Kj sucking out best to wait till you lose 50% of your stack
but normally its best to take the full whack off the batt

Ironside --I still reckon its often best to wait till after the first level at least-- It does depend on the table and who else decides to take the extra chips early but I reckon using it as a true "second chance" makes some sense so normally I play these like a freezeout but a little looser and then if you do run into Acces with your Kings then all is not totally lost..
Just my opinion..
CU Next week Robert..

Strange thing but i have NEVER been on a table where it was taken straight away, i have only played 3 or 4 but still...........
Personally i think it's best to leave it till you need it, if you get a bad beat you're still in, Simple logic methinks.

I prefer to take it straight away depending on the table lineup. I play a bigstack far better than an average stack and I like everybody to know if they tangle with me I am having all their stack. This also allows players to gamble with me thinking theyl still have half their chips to come or a second life if you will.I prefer to know in a comp that I dont have another chance, If I lose my chips I am out- helps focus the mind.

Finally got a hotel sorted out for Brighton. This will be my (and two other players who will be there with me) first sponsored event. Needless to say we're pretty excited and hope we can do our sponsors proud.  |

If you take the second stack straight away, they may forget and let you have another stack later. |

Hi Mel MrMoves has asked me to reply as he is snowed under with work. Myself (Tony), MrMoves (Paul) and Skyfella (Andy) (not a Blondeite...yet) are three poker players who met playing in Vilnius at the Tony G Invitational in April and resolved to do a bit of touring so we created The Sterling Cartel ( www.thesterlingcartel.com). We have just signed up a sponsorship deal with London Poker Club who are paying our entries into the 300 event on Thursday 7th July. So, the answer is no, MrMoves did not qualify through VC. More details about us are on our website. Hope to see you at Brighton on the 7th. |
