***  See here for details of the 5-4-3-2-1 MTT debut & giveaway! ***

Hey all,

We've put a trial format SnG up in the lobby which we'd like your feedback on. It's a new one for us and you can find it here:


6 players, top 2 get paid and the blinds go from 5 minutes, to 4, etc etc. Currently just one of them in the lobby now (1.30pm), but we'll roll out more of them depending on how it's received.

Let us know what you think about the game play, number of starting chips (more? less?) and any other comments you might have on it :)

Thanks,
Dave

    Saw your other post on this in the forum - should be corrected already, along with the RR one :)

    Are you going to try the 54321?

    No problem smarr - we've got 1 in there now so jump in and see if you can get the ball rolling ;)

    We've also applied a 65%-35% payout structure on the prizepool. What do you reckon?

    Anyone got any thoughts as to the optimal strategy in these? It will be totally "formulaic", like all SNG's, but it'll need tweaking for this sub-species.

    Suppose, to a degree, it depends upon the table dynamic.

    It was fun to watch - the strategy was interesting too as it looked like the deep stack left people biding their time. 

    Then the time ran out ;)

    THe fact JC won it prob says a lot for the strategy? Be interested in JC's views.

    There's another £2 in the lobby for now, and TINTIN is sat there waiting. I actually wish I could play this one! :)

    Well that was fun - Need to have a word with the dealer though:)

    Wasn't sure how it would pan out but - The game lasted approx 20mins and certainly wasn't the shove fest I had expected, so I think peeps could find an edge in these.

    I would maybe start with a slightly bigger blind in level 1 as I certainly didn't feel any pressure to shove until we were a few mins into the 1min Blinds.

    Great Fun Though.

    I Still demand a refund though Sky_Dave - I mean 6 & 9 really? :) stop playing with the buttons lol
