CPT Local Grand Prairie AB Nov 20th
This was my First and Last Rebuy tourny at this Casino.
100$ buy in 20$ rebuys 60$ addon
Max entrants 72 (9/Table)
Total Prize of over 14k
Payout top 5
Structure was Limit for first hour (3 levels) and NL for the rest..
Rebuy period lasted for 160 minutes and 7 levels
In round 1 you able to rebuy with 1000 or less in chips
In Round 2 (next 4 levels) your able to rebuy with 2000 or less.. so if you go all in and loose you can rebuy 3 times for 3k in chips..
To host this event they Jammed 72 people into a room made for 40. I got seated against a wall and right by the door to enter the room.. Literally I got bumped and asked to move my chair on every hand.. It made it very hard to keep my concentration level up to where I wanted it..
They easily could have put 30 people in their normal poker room and made life alot easier for the players.. But I'm guessing it'd be harder on their staff..
The format of the structure and how they did rebuys made life Great for maniacs and hard on tighter players.. 1 poor guy across from me had to very LOOSE players on each side of him and was almost forced all in on any hand he played..
The dealers for the most part did ok but a few of them managed to slow things down and make mistakes during the day on a regular basis. ( Like deal the Turn card before allowing the players to bet on the flop, Skip over players with cards in front of them completely..)
Now let me say Good Job to the top 5 who ever they may be. I'm not blaming any of the excuses on the stuff I said above..
My downfall flat out came down to not getting any hands. I was so card dead the entire day!
I remember playing maybe 10 hands in 5 hours before running into AA with 88 when short stacked (4225$) in 300/600 blinds... The hands I played are these ( 77 got all in and won against QTo, 99,88 busted on, 55,44,AK,KQ had to fold to a vert tight player making a 10xbb raise ahead of me, the other two I believe were Axs in LP trying to make something happen. :banghead: )
If Great Northern Casino was to change there tourny to a freezeout and maybe split up the players tween the 2 rooms I'll go back to the next 2 CPT events... My overall trip there was a waste of time and money.. my overall experience was very bad..
