Take on Tikay versus Rich Pickings

edited June 2010 in Poker Chat
Morning all,

Tonight- in the aftermath of a glorious England victory/disastrous exit from the World Cup (delete as applicable- I can't believe I'm even saying these words at this late stage of possibly the easiest group at the World Cup- sigh)..............Tikay and I will engaging in a battle royale!

Yes- not only will we be in competition on the tables- but we'll be competing against each other with actual tournaments!
 
In the red corner- it's me with my very own structure: 

Rich Pickings- fast paced with Rebuys and Addons available for purchase until the end of the first break after 45 mins for £2.20. (£2 + 20p). Blinds up every 5 minutes but you start with more chips- 3000.

and in the grey corner- it's Tikay- with his doddery old Take on Tikay tournament- with blinds up every 12 minutes and a starting stack of 2,500.

So it's dynamic entertainment versus old school plodding.

The choice is yours- and Tikay and I have a side bet as to whose tournament will get the most entries.

And of course we'll both be playing in our respective games. Both kick off at 8.30pm

Don't let me down folks, you know mine makes sense! :)

    Tikay 12 - Rich 5 at the moment.
    But I do understand why you need yours to be a rebuy, Rich,

    I'm 7 behind but there's still almost 5 hours to go.

    I'm hoping the feel-good factor from an England win will make everyone want to play a fun cheap re-buy rather than a long-drawn out marathon.

    Get in Defoe!!!!!

    Is there ever gonna be a proper rebuy main event on sky?

    Theres loads of negativity surrounding rebuys, for 2 reasons - people can't understand the skills required to win at them. And also the issue of rake...

    Bu are we gonna get a proper rebuy tourny with a guarentee?

    4k gtd, £7.70 to enter? something like that?

    As a cash player I just think spending 4/5 hours to win a tournament with a top prize of 4/5 buy ins at my usual cash level is just toooo long - cud make it in a couple of hour playing cash.

    Lets have some big tournys with big gtd prize pools.

    Putting a guarentee does boost numbers massively - No1 will ever convince me otherwise!!

    Lets have some motivation to play plzzzz sky pplz

    9 in my tourney

    18 in Tikay's.

    Early days yet though. I'm banking on lots of players coming home from work and wanting to unwind with a quick blast of fun poker for low stakes.

    As for England...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

    Two thoughts-

    (1) How come we always win when we're on the BBC?

    and (2) Noticed this on the Beeb website just now- one pundit has calculated our likely opponents from here on in if everything runs as it should...

    Second Round: Germany.

    Quarter-final:     Argentina.

    Semi-final:     Spain.

    Final:     Brazil.

    Lolololololololololol!

    Well, we may have had the easiest group, but no-one can take away a World Cup victory from us now if we somehow manage it against that lot!
    I don't think you could come up with a more difficult route if you tried!!!!

    Isn't there supposed to be ONE add-on available?  I've just seen messages that indicate some players were able to do multiple add-ons...

    />xxxxxxxxxx has topped up their balance to 4,322.50
    />xxxxxxxxxx has topped up their balance to 7,322.50

    />yyyyyyyyyy has topped up their balance to 5,940
    />yyyyyyyyyy has topped up their balance to 8,940

    That will be a re-buy and an add-on, I think.
    I reckon that if you have less than your starting chips, you can do both at the add-on time.
