Omaha event?
Omaha event?
This is Texas Hold'em.
Sounds fun :) ..
Guess there is no Omaha side event due to no side event at Stoke? :(
Will be playing the ME as I had to miss the chance of playing at Stoke..
So who"s up to forming a team of 8? I"m in any others who want to jump on board?
Surely 7 others who couldn"t make the trip. What could possibly go wrong!!

I"m in
I"m game
I"m up for it if you need anyone to make up numbers (Chris Hiam sent me :) )
Omaha event?
This is Texas Hold'em.
I think he means is there an Omaha side event as is usually the case :)
Wiii sounds good ... 3 fish, need 5 more.
Anybody want to join me...?
Thinking maybe some of the APAT team who had a good time in the LPPL but would like to make amends...
Doesn"t really matter how many....
Hi Matt,
Will the winning team get free entry to the championships next season or is it just a guaranteed place?
Anybody want to join me...?
Thinking maybe some of the APAT team who had a good time in the LPPL but would like to make amends...
Doesn"t really matter how many....
How is the winning team determined? Is it whoever wins the MTT or a points based system like in Stoke?
So will this be the regular format from now on ? is the 10k starting stack and 12 minute clock a thing of the past along with the omaha side event or will they be back later in the season ? Sorry for all the questions Matt.

Not sure if desperate is the correct word, but if nobody has got in touch by (half an hour ago) Wednesday then I will let you add my name to your team. I see Chris_I_am has already joined, so that would leave me short for an LPPL reunion team.

Hi Mike, think "Team Nobody Wants Us" has claimed you on page 7!
Also on LPPL thread Matt, but not sure where you are looking :)
Add Grahame Thomspon, LPPLeos
Can you change team name please - "LPPL crew" will do. Not sure they will all appreciate being chimps :)
Might be a couple more to add on the LPPL thread.
My apologies to team gotham. Hadn"t realised i had already been taken by team nobody wants us
how does the team points scoring work?
See 2nd post ^^
Due to the huge number of late entries, it"s not been possible to produce an "in running" spreadsheet. Rather the winning team will be announced tomorrow instead. A sleepless night for many I"m sure! :)
My apologies to team gotham. Hadn"t realised i had already been taken by team nobody wants us
Not a problem, probably better prospects with Nobody Wants Us!
Yea we suck at Team Games....and NLH....pretty much everything....

Matt, a couple of simultaneous discons on our table. Plus one guy saying it was freezing every hand. Any chance you can check tomorrow if there were probs with Corals system. Cheers

Matt - 5k Chips? Normally have 10k for these no? Although I have missed a few!
Hi JP
I"m testing a 5k starting stack for this one, as iPoker has many more levels - so a much slower structure than Boss. I still think they"ll be plenty of room to play.
If it"s considered a bit too fast I will up the number of chips for the next online events.

Congrats to Team LBPN, nice to see the boys bossing it last night with both Lee Barrett and Darrell "Ratty" Hall in the medals plus Dave "boatful5" Scothern also in the cash. VWP guys !!

The structure might need tweaking Matt,went very shallow and shove festy from level 14 onwards and especially at the buisness end.I"m sure JP will agree ;)

Fair point. How about an hour earlier and 7.5k stack? I think 10k will take too long unless we skip levels (much easier to set tourneys if we don"t). Happy to go to 10k though if that"s the consensus.
What time did the game finish?
n earlier start will mean me being blinded off until I get home...
Start time, OK
Chips, OK
Clock, OK
Structure, OK
Finish Time, OK
So to summaries, things are OK
7-30 start + 7,500 starting stack

Fish with Chips missing from team placings
Just a word on the structure of the tourney, as I have seen it mentioned throughout this thread. It may seem obvious for me to say that the structure was fine (because we did so well), but IMHO, any stack larger than 5k would be excessive. 5k represents a 250bb starting stack, which is more than enough for any online tourney with a 10min clock - in fact it would be considered as a superstack in most online tournies with the standard pre-set blind levels. I always stand by the fact that increasing chip stacks will not have that much of an effect on the amount of play in a tournament, its more about getting the structure right. Without looking at it, I"m a bit stuck for suggestions at present - although I"m certainly willing to come back with some ideas, but for me a 5k start stack and no earlier than a 7.30pm start should be fine - a max of 5 hours of play is surely enough for most people, particularly those that have to get up for work the next morning. I played the Hendon Mob league for a few seasons on Ipoker and their start stack was 1500 chips on the same clock, it still worked well, but was a bit too turbo, if they were offered 5k I think they may have thought you were having a bubble bath! Seriously though there is more than enough play in that structure, so personally I would be tempted to leave it as it is and see how things go, it can always be reviewed at a later date.

I think you are right about a structure for a weekly league, but we are talking about main event medal games which should be deeper. If finishing time is an issue then maybe schedule them for non-school nights.

Ok, fair point well made, but how deep do you want to go? I still think 7.5k is excessive (its almost 400bbs) and it creates the style of poker that everyone hates these days, 3bet, 4 bet, 5bet pre-flop with air....just cause you can and then villan flops his straight with 5 3 off suit vs ur AA and you"re spewing. Personally I"d like to get back to proper poker whether it be live or online, these super dooper monster stacks are killing the game! If you really want to go a bit deeper why not try to replicate the current live structure (15k with 25/50 starting blinds = 300bb starting stack) so on that basis, maybe a 6k start stack with blind levels starting at 10/20 with a 7.30pm latest start time, surely that should be more than enough - just my opinion obviously!
The structure might need tweaking Matt,went very shallow and shove festy from level 14 onwards and especially at the buisness end.
I think the game would be fine with 5k chips but take a couple of the earlier levels out and add some levels in the mid-late game.

Just a quick question... what is your definition of "proper poker"? I personally want some room to have some fun :D As i am sure most people who were on my table will tell you, I was playing somewhat... creatively, but that is a game I prefer to play, and i would rather do that than just sit and wait to get JJ v KK v AA as happened in this one :p ( i raise folded to the Pilgrims 4 bet shove, Im such a nit)
People arent going to fold much in these APAT games no matter what the structure is, and if we are paying £20, I would prefer a few more chips in play personally, as it got down to a 15/20bb avg rather quickly from memory?
VWD to all who got cash/points/medals btw :)

In answer to your question, what is my definition of "proper poker" well first of all it would involve doing away with monster stacks and pushing the concept that "play" and "value for your £" in a tournament (live or online) is dictated by the structure and not the amount of chips in play. You could have a 500bb starting stack, but if the structure isn"t right, then it means nothing.
There was a discussion on another forum I post on regarding the structure/start stacks in the GUKPT side events which basically centred around the fact that for your £100 buy in, you only received a 7500 starting stack. Now on the surface this may seem poor value for money (especially in comparison to some of the stack sizes you get in other similar value comps), but if you looked beyond that and looked at the full structure of the comp and the fact that you were still starting with a very healthy 150bbs and at no point did the average stack fall under 30bbs - that"s where you find your value for money. The problem lies in players inability to adjust their game in accordance to stack size and structure, even when their stack is relatively shallow, they still want to come and play this "creative" style of poker, but then feel disappointed when it doesn"t work out for them and blame the fact that "it was only a 7500 starting stack".
I fully agree that you should have licence to be creative in a poker tournament and I don"t endorse "nitiness" by any means, but if you can"t be creative with a 250bb starting stack, then I"m a little bereft of ideas I"m afraid.
During this tourney the other night I must have had AA at least 7 times, KK twice, QQ 4 times (in all honesty I"ve never had a run of cards like it) and what did I win my biggest pot with?; 75suited, calling a raise from the SB in a multi-way pot, this was in the early levels, so I guess you can count that as being creative.
Proper poker in my eyes is all about outwitting your opponent, maybe being more selective than creative and playing position - whatever happened to that(??) and utilising my stack size in accordance with the structure. Monster stacks only encourage loose play, particularly in the early levels and if people want to try to play two card chicken, then that"s entirely up to them, but I much prefer to leave them to it and pick my spots more carefully to maximise my gain to allow me to go deeper in the tournament.
When all"s said and done, if we all played the same way it wouldn"t be a game worth playing and as with most games/sports people will always have their opinions on what"s right and wrong and they are of course entitled to them. Please don"t get me wrong, I"m not trying to dictate to anyone, its just something I have a strong opinion on, I may be reasonably young in age, but I"ve been playing the game for quite some time and I guess in that respect maybe I"m a little bit old school. I also run tournaments, so I guess I always consider the structure over the stack size, but then that"s just me! Discussions like these though are what keeps me interested in the game - it also helps if I"m winning a bit along the way too, lol!

Also i believe it was 7/4 not 7/5 which you won your big pot with but i may be mistaken lol
