He's a pushover RED, nothing to worry about. Just tell him it's happy hour at the bar.

The payouts were fine before, why Luton have to change the payout and made the clock so long its boring Its not right. Because a few players say we want longer clocks and payout half the field dont make sence. If you want to play a 2 or 3 day comp just save up for a big buy in comp but having two day comps for £100 buy ins and then to get your money back finishing 18th after two days hard work puts me off playing.

IMHO players that can't afford big buy-ins are just as entitled to a good structure as anyone else

£100 is just as important to them as £1500 is to you

I agree wholeheartedley with this.

A good tournament structure is one that gives the best players the best chance of success.

The price of the buyin is totally irrelevant, and the notion that these good structures should only be available for the most expensive events thus precluding the vast majority of players from enjoyng them is IMO quite ridiculous.

sorry.....i had to say one more thing as do feel strongly about this. BP is becoming a reference for many of the card rooms in the UK to get feedback on the way they operate (payouts, structures, rules etc). Because of this I think posters should have more responsibility when they crictise card rooms/casinos etc.

For example, when a card room manager whose worked his backside off looks at a thread on BP for feedback, they might not realise that the poster knows little or nothing about festival tournament poker and may be influenced by their comments. I have noticed that sometimes the people posting their strong views on festival tournamants know little or nothing about playing the UK festival circuit (the card rooms may not know this). How can anyone who doesn't play the UK festival circuit comment on how it should be run? It costs about £30k to play 2 events at each UK festival, these are the people who support the UK festival circuit, and the people that casinos should be listening to, NOT the "back seat drivers" who never play or just enter the odd event when its near their house and they won a satelitte and are free rolling.

On dodgy ground here saying this, but BP is having a voice in how the UK cicuit is run and we are being listened to.

Is this the £500 luton pot limit live update thread, maybe we you start a new thread, btw Karabiner the prise of the buy in does make a differents, other wise there would be nothing special about winning a main event bar the cash and money aint everything ,I plkayed a £10 rebuy comp at star city in the week now if that was a two day event with a 1 hour clock nobody would play it beacuse most if not all have a job to go to in the morning.

how come u were playing a £10 rebuy??

[Sheriff Fatman]

Just to hijack this thread in some direction towards the original topic I popped into Luton tonight to buy in for tomorrows Double Shootout.

Took a quick scan at the results for the £500, Bambos was 1st, Mike Magee 2nd and Mickey Wernick 4th.

No idea if any deals were done.

I'm obviously not talking about £10 rebuy tourneys here Foxy.

But why should £100 or £200 freezeout tourneys not have an equally playable structure as a £1500 main event ?

[Foxy]

they had a happy hour at the bar snoops thats why. No because I enjoy poker at all levels and I want a longer clock I told them  

[snoopy1239]

To be honest, I'd like to see a longer clock in the main event where more money is at stake. I wouldn't want the same stucture for each event.

[vegaslover]

Personally I feel a flatter pay structure should be the way forward. As already mentioned, many players have large costs involved, and they dont have the bankroll to sustain playing at all the events.
The main reason I believe in flatter payouts is that by the time the final table comes it's more of a crapshoot. Why should most the money go to the top 3 when luck usually determines those spots.
Some tournaments you will just about make your buy-in when finishing 9th or 10th with 100+ runners.

As Robyong put it, at some point we need to support the players who support the events.

[Foxy]

Yes Karabiner your right they should be the same as the main event, right good fun tonight im off to bed now, Ive enjoyed posting on here all night and hope some good points were made none by me but its been a ball see you chaps tomoz
