The New Order
When we play single table tourneys, its good to have
fun, but I think the games are fun when the standard
is good. If its a competitive / close game then I
think everyone will benefit, and probably enjoy
themeselves a bit more.
Lets review yesterday's game, for example, there was
a variety of standards, but I can say that the new
player probably impressively played with as much common sense
as the next person, however the village idiot played
like the village idiot. Whichever way you look at
it , anyone who calls all his chips with 8-2, when
none of his chips are in the pot, possibly calling the tightest
player, is an idiot play. If that person can say that
he has made that play 4 handed in a single table tourney,
for say $100 then ill take that back if not then
it shows the idiotic nature of that play. Why play
so differently to the way you play online then do
you when its live ??? Perhaps if you play like that
live, you wont be able to help make stupid plays
when you are in a live situation, when it counts
for a lot more ???
Anyway each to their own. But ... I am proposing a
new single table tournament format. Firstly the
winner takes all (subject to change). In the past i
have said we should increase the buy-in, but that
is not fair. To an extent, why should someone put
$50 to play in a single table tournament, when
they might only play $30 online, and if i play
say $200 single table tournaments, then one person
is possibly out of their depth in terms of bankroll
and one person is quite comfortable.
The solution is the handicapped poker buy-in single
table tournaments. Everyone needs to buy in at least for
their assigned poker handicap buy-in. Here is
the list (of some of the players) :
Rk - $200
frage - $100
chad - $50
horry, barts, dayle , jon, tanya, brad, lap - 20
nai - $10
new players - $5
Lets say:
RK, Frage, Chad, dayle, tanya , and nai all play
in a single table tournament. There are 6
players, and the winner takes all. But b4, you
say, hey sweet a new player can win $200 off
rk thats unfortunately not how it works. You
can only win a maximum of the number of players
times your buy in or the size of the pool,
whichever is smaller.
So in example one, say buy ins are :
Rk - $200, Frage - $100, Chad - $50, Dayle / Tanya - $20
Nai - $10.
If nai were to win he would win $60, $10 off everyone.
If dayle or tanya were to win , theyd win $20 each minus
10 coz nai put in $10, so they would $110. If
chad were to win he would win nai's $10, dayle and tanya's
$20 , and $50 of frage and rk. Winning $200 (which is including
chads $50). And if frage were to win, he would win
$300 (including his $100 buy in). This system allows everyone
to play on an equal playing field for a buy-in they would
feel comfortable playing with online for. Perhaps you could
say that if it got 3 handed with frage , me and nai, he would
much prefer to see me elminated than nai, coz if nai wins
he would lose less than if i won, but i dont think that will
affect the game much, and frankly the better player should
welcome that challenge. New players can buy-in for a game
for $5, and compete on the same level, coz all the chips
are worth the same. And everyone else can still feel like
they have something to play for, as the prize pool will
still be ok.
The other rule about the handicap system, is say Brad, who
thinks hes good, (brad did play well win to last night)
fancy himself, he can buy in for anything up to $200.
But more likely say he puts in for $50, and everyone else
puts in for their regular handicap, he is just giving himself
a chance to win more. (winning $50 of say chad, frage
and rk, and everyone else's normal buy ins)
Anyway i dont think its unfair to make ppl buy-in for
what they would do online, therefore promoting a standard
of play which is competitive and interesting. And hey
if you want to call 8-2 in a $50 tournament , then id
believe u may do it in an online tournament as well.
The table may come back to my place, tho im happy
with it being at chs. I dont see how this is unfair
on anyone, and if you think your handicap is too high
id be happy to review it. If someone says they dont
feel like playing at their handicap, then they prolly
dont feel like playing poker which is fine, and should
stay home.
These are the new rules as of soon :)
Comments welcome.

New rules says who??
Where is the demoncratic vote??
Interesting and valid idea, but I feel that it fails on the level if intergrated play. i.e. a $50 or $20 player is going to want the players of greater or equal buy in to go out prior to them so they can play against the smaller players to eliminate there potential loss of total buy-in, hence the level of play is also effected.
Surely playing other players of different value(buy-in) even if you can only lose up to what they have makes you alternate your regular play to accomodate for reduced loss.
that doesn't make sense
its good to have
fun, but I think the games are fun when the standard
is good.
this is just like, your opinion.
other people might just want something to do for a couple of hours.
Is there no more poker to talk about???
All dried up??
nothing interesting?? Didn't think hte fun could last very long....
