(K/W) Bristol St Poker - 2023 Event #1 "The Opener" - $40 NLHE Freezeout - Wed, Mar 1st - 7pm
Last year, for the first time ever, Bristol St. Poker's host, Zithal, took down the title of 2022 Player of the Year! (Woohoo!!) With a new year, comes a new season, along with a BIG change! I call it, "Black is the new Green!"
When I host games, I like doing so to help prepare people for tournaments in real casino's. I try to reflect the changes that happen in the system. It's why we introduced "Big Blind Antes" a few years ago and it's now why we're going to eliminate the 25 chip as a denomination from our games, and we'll have the BB Ante start at Level 1. I've been running the numbers and it should help reduce colour-ups while keeping the feel and texture of the game very similar to what it is now. The new schedule will be listed below, and we'll start by experimenting with a freeze out with 25,000 chips as a starting stack.
If you do not let me know that you'll be late, we'll keep your chips out for a level and then remove then. You can buy in when you show up, but will pay a penalty of 4 rounds of blinds/ante per level (or partial level you miss)
The tournament will last approximately 5 hours. Seating is limited to 24 players. (8 max tables) Please reserve your seat in advance!! The final table will form with 9 players left.
Cash game chips will be available as tables open up. (Suggested .25/.50 $60 max)
As always, tournaments at The Compound are rake-free!!
