Congrats to Dick Hertz CPT Champ!!!!
I just got in from the casino and wish to congradulate Dick Hertz ( MarK) for winning the CPT Event at the Great Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry. :canada:
After entering the final table, he had a good chip lead and for the most part kept it untill it was heads up.
Congrats again for a solid effort.
By the way, if any one needs to borrow some money,

hork.
It was nice to meet Dead Money and Ncabw in person, thanks for chearing me on guys.
I am shocked that I was able to win this tournament without ever having a pocket pair higher than 10s. I now declare 10s to be my favourite hand. I won 2 key pots with 10s....one when there was 3 tables left and the other was a monster pot when heads up.
I'll discuss more hands in another post.
So for my efforts today I recieved
$10 125
A free roll entry into the December 15th Blue Heron tournament of champions
A nice champions trophy
And a shiny new CPT hat...I was told it is the first hat given out in Canada.
congrats!
(or anyone else who has played in these...)
hork.
Although I did manage to to win back all the money I spent on the tournament at the 5/10 table in a couple of hours.

YOU DA MAN!!!!
I would put the level at about 50 / 30 / 10.
50 percent of the players are good general poker players, but don't know much on playing tournaments.
30 percent, are good tourney players, super agressive, constantly trying to steal the blinds, and push really hard.
10 percent are newbies, to poker and tournaments, and just add to the pot.
what about the other 10%
sorry it should have read 50/30/20.
hmmmm. No wonder I lost, I can't even add up to 100. All my math on odds must be off too.
I am working on a trip report right now.
To answer your question, Hork42, about the level of play in this tournament.
There is a lot of inexperienced tournament players here, probably 70% of the field have vey little knowledge of tournament play. I am not saying there are alot of bad poker players. In fact there were many very skillfull limit holdem players in this tournament who just dont have enough nolimit holdem tournament experience. Eg. I saw one of the best holdem players that plays at the Blue Heron regularly make a mistake that I am sure none of us would make. He was the big blind of $8000,a short stack pushed all in for a total of $12 000, a raise of only $3000, every one folds to the big blind he folds because he had 5 2 off. I wouldnt even have to look at my cards if I was him, I would put the money in blind. There were lots of little mistakes like that made by players all day long.
There was also some very good tournament players there. Players with lots of experience in big tournaments like the WSOP and Foxwoods or Atlantic City.
If you didn't, how was the blind struture in your opinion, did the intervals go up quick in a short time span? Also, was it pure NL, I remember that Rama has 2 levels of Limit I believe.
2000 chips to start
1000 unlimited chip rebuys for $50 (rebuy at or below 2000)
2000 add on for $100
20 min levels
blinds are 25 50
50 100
100 200
200 400
300 600
and so on
the part I dont like is that once you get to the final table table the levels drop to 15 min
and there is no cap on the blinds
with 500 000 chips in play and blinds of 5000 10 000
and then jumps to 10 000 20 000
the final table doesnt take very long. It becomes a crap shoot at this point which is too bad because the rest of the tournament is structured very nicely.
