I just did that... and introduced myself using yourself and Tim Jackson as references....

I just play the deepstack in the summer. Structure for the regular tournaments is crazy.

MrCaspan

Yeah it can be a little fast for blinds.. I don't mind it too much but it is fast paced!

EdtheTed

"fast paced" = -EV

:-)

18 way even split = champion

Actually if it's unraked then it does not mean -EV, simply means you have to adjust as there is more luck involved.

kwmatt;412463 wrote18 way even split = champion

Now THAT is messed up, is that typical for this tournament? I would likely be the guy who refuses unless I was real short stacked. Of course I likely wouldn't be invited back..

MrCaspan

Last one it was a 10 way split at the final table.. based on the blind speeds and the 20BB stacks most had, it's worth it for me to split. Our payout was $900 each and $2000 to the chip leader who was 2.5x higher then the next 3 stacks. So considering buy-in was $100 a x9 profit for 3 hours was not too bad! But it is up to you you can decide no to split!

kwmatt

The last one that went all the way to a single winner was one of deep stack ones held on a Saturday way back in early 2018. Me and another guy split the 1st and 2nd prizes even, and then played for the remaining $500 and Trophy. I lost heads up. Going into the final 2 tables I was up at least 5 to one to the next biggest stack, and some were getting angry that I refused any type of chop (I found it funny really). Tim the director was totally understanding in that I didn't want to.

MrCaspan

Well of course the smaller stacks were mad :) I have no problem with saying no if I feel I have a chance. In the last event I had like 15-20BB and such aggressive blinds it was basically a coin toss as to who would win so I said sure I'll split and I am glad I did because finishing 8th would have only net me $300 but really both my all inside were in my favor but lost to variance so who knows... if I feel I am in good position though I won't split! Again why would you, be mad all you want I came to win, what did you come to do?

MrCaspan

hey Compuease if I can get Nabil to let me make an announcement do you care if I plug the forum? I would assume you would not care but just checking, there will be 100+ players there so a good place to plug it!

absolutely! I remember years ago we actually had pokerforum.ca business cards.. maybe it's time to consider that again.

MrCaspan

Yeah that might be a good idea. They would not allow outside announcements but I spoke to a few people and yes Business cards would have been nice but it is an easy site name to remember.

BTW I finished in 84th place of 145 players I think [MENTION=17939]kwmatt[/MENTION] was walking around before me shaking his head at a bad beat!

compuease

Well I know it's pretty fast so you gotta get it in. 50 min blinds, 50K chips and 250BB's is going to be different for my in the Big50.

MrCaspan

You can be all loosey goosey and eat a sandwich!
