Grosvenor Midlands Medley - Day 2

[The Camel]

I think 9 got paid in Sheffield. I am really referring to the prize money jumps, not the number of prizes. What would you prefer to see Keith?

No, it was ten! nearly a quarter of the field got paid. Ridiculous IMO.

I hate to go against the crowd but I think the payout structure is fine, except I wouldn't pay down to 18.

Poker is about winning and the winner should get at least 40% of the prize money.

Every comp this week has ended up in a deal.

And that is the right of the players to decide this.

But due to these structures we never get a true winner.

The decision is forced upon them because top heavy structures leave them no reasonabe alternative

If players want to do a deal, fine. That is their prerogative.

But why penalise he players who want to win big money by enforcing a flat payout structure on them?

Because they are in the minority, why are so many deals done, why do YOU do deals?

Back to these last players - and the Rollercoaster Of P. Peters -

He lost most of his chips to M. Herron with a traditional vs race (the King fell on the turn).  Then with just 17,000 left (and the blinds at 5k - 10k) he doubled that first desperate time off autocalling big blind Nick Slade who took against Mr. Peters'  .  The Jack was the first card out, and the 4 the last, but in the middle were two Aces which kept him in the comp.

Then it was his Mrs. who doubled him up again with her , with which she quite reasonably raised his big blind - he just went for it with and spiked that King.
"Well done, darling," was the civilised response...

[nelwood]

who was out no 12, or did i miss something?

[snoopy1239]

A few chip approximations:

Don Jones -- 140k
J McNeill -- 125k
J Atkins -- 315k
Ned Flanders -- 300k
MH Kazi -- 130k

Hi to Red-dog - Its been a while! Sat next to you in a 300 tourney last year - I had KK first hand, doubled up and then doubled again with AA against you!! lol, that hasnt happened since

In reference to structures, lets be realistic guys, if you flaten a prizepool so that everyone gets cream on there cake then you will feel slightly deprived of elmea if you win the competion and only get paid 25-45%. Poker IS about winning and evryones time will come...

Good luck to Nieve, she bought me a bottle of Cote de Rhone red at Masters.. and she drank3/4!!! lol
