The great Bear in Blackpool

[RED-DOG]

Yogi introduced a new, flatter prize structure for the mini-festival at Blackpool this week, and he assures me that it will remain in place for the up coming, full blown festival in May

To my knowledge, everyone was happy, I heard no complaints

Payouts were as follows

9 prizes paid in all competitions, if over 90 players, 10% of the runners will be paid





90 runners

34.5%
20%
13%
9.5%
7%
5.5%
4.5%
3.5%
2.5%


There is a sliding scale up to 130 runners when payouts become

30%
20%
13%
9%
6.5%
5.5%
4.5%
3.5%
2.5%

Cardroom staff, dealers and valets at Blackpool were in great form as usual, always helpful, pleasant, and ready for a laugh

I would like to give a special mention to Clare, (The one with the dark smoldering eyes) It's like looking down the barrels of two revolvers, scary, but fascinating.

What a great job she has done looking after those puppies!

Afraid not Rich, I went out of the £100 re-buy in 15th, I had avarage chips when a fairly tight player raised to 7k, I rr to set him in for another 10k holding pocket 8's, he called with 5's and spiked it on the turn, I couldn't recover

In the £500 I was on a crazy table, 3 players all in on the first hand, Jacks, 10's, and 5's, the 5's won

That seemed to set the tone for the whole game, with a re-raise and an all in every other hand

I lost a dollop of chips when I raised with QQ, (4 callers) and after that I was never in the running

Looks like the flatter structure failed to stop a deal, after trying to deal 9 handed yesterday they finally managed it with 7 left.
Be interesting to know what the actually percentages dealwise were compared to the advertised structure.
Fickle these poker players huh?
