The new structure in the Merchant is A LOT better than it used to be. I went last week and i"m pretty sure it"s:
- 24 minute levels for 1st 5 levels + option of ONE rebuy if you bust in this period.
- 15 min break.
- 20 min levels played down until final table
- 5 min break
- Final Table
- 1st place
well not for me but it should"ve been.
Don"t play it as a rebuy though, it"s only one optional rebuy which only like 30% of people will take so play it as a freezeout and go with one buy in and let the dead money juice up the prizepool FTW. Easy peasy.
I dread to think what the PLO games are like. Part of me wants to go to take advantage of people who don"t know what they"re doing. Then the other part of me knows I"m going to make a great semi-bluff only to miss my 16 outs on the river and get knocked out by some guy who"s played his QQxx to the death thinking he"s good, which he is but that"s not the point, he"s still getting a slap
