I've got 2 questions...

1. Why is the structure for the £5 sat into the £24 Semi better than the structure in the £24 game? Makes no sense to me at all.

2. What are people's thoughts about how you should play the £24 one when it's only 1in10 and usually only gets 20-30 runners so you gotta come top 2 or top 3 from 20-30 runners, so dya think you should play it more like a normal MTT cos you basically gotta be going for the win (virtually)?

    I was discussing this with some of the TKP folkes and a few of us agreed that a 3 sat structure all 1 in 5 would be better. Others disagreed. As a compramise i think Run both systems.

    1:10 imo sucks.

    1in10 does suck a bit yeah.

    But why is the structure in the £24 game worse than the one in the £5 game? baffles the mind

    I didnt actually realise the structrre diff tbh but usually have 3 or 4 tables and just spot the blinds. see my stack and play accordingly.

    might explain why i never get close in the £24 one.

    Are you going to blackpool for defo m8?

    Yeah me and Emma will definitely be there, we've got our hotel booked already... it's just a question of whether I'll qualify to play the main event or not. If not, I'll definitely play some sideys.

    EDIT: Just won my £5 sat, so I'm into the £24 game for a fiver. Fingers crossed I might get my seat tonight :)

    The Sats have a 3K starting stack with 5min blinds

    The Semi has a 2K starting stack with 10min blinds so I wouldn't say the structure was in the sats was better than the Semi tbh

    Ah ok Trev, fair enough, thought they were both 5 mins, didn't understand why the £5 one gets a bigger starting stack.

    Even with the slower blinds I still don't really see why you either don't get 2k in the £5 game, or the better way (in my eyes) give 3k starting stack in £24 one

    I've just got to my 3rd  Semi and and while I prefer the structure of the Semis it's asking a lot to qualify from 1 in 10. Anyone who gets a place deserves it.
    Edited to say it's even harder when we had 29 runners the other day

    yes this was the biggest discussion we had with TKP although we used 19 as the example. Expessially when theres no direct buy in, in that situation i think most people would be happy to mout on the extra £24 and buy in id imagine but without direct buy in, its not an option.

    Nice one for qualifying Dagg, I'm in it aswell. It's definitely VERY tough trying to get through with it being 1in10. This is only my 2nd Semi but fingers crossed.

    In my opinion
    I think there should be ,

    £1.60+0.17 sat (quarter), 1 in 5 into
    £8+0.80 sat (semi), 1 in 5 into
    £40+4 sat (final), 1 in 5 into SPT £220 buy in event.

    I know this maybe a couple of pound off here and there, sure someone could correct me with exact number but I think people will understand what im getting at.

    This way a satelite for less than £2 is affordable for all bankrolls, as well as the ability for the bigger bankrolls to buy in to the semi and final satelite direct.

    i agree, but the 1:10 system should also run, allow two chances per night for people to qualify and give the option i imagine some people do like 1 in 10.
