Played tonight in the specials. Did find that god players are looking for best strategies. Fine but with some early Ai's then a period of settling down, once some reach 1300 chips and theres a raise then it became a donk fest to luck out with two live cards.
I'll carry on playing but can the original stack size be larger or the clock slower to enable some poker to be played post flop. I just thought that there seemed to be good players there that i wouldn't really see at my table at my stakes but the poker did not happen in the same proportion because the players realised that once past the flop they were pushing with 10 bb's to ensure fold equity. One chap just went allin time after time with 1400 chips until A9s called . He had Q8s and he won but we were too quickly at that level.
TBH it felt like a donkfest. Its a great idea and i love the idea of a league but there wasn't room for good poker imo. It felt like i raise, one ai's , i fold or call and there's ridiculous hand in front of but live cards. Id have been better just blinding out to get a position in top ten . Surely thats not what we want in the special.
Chris, i hope you'll take this in the spirit it was meant. I was looking forward to playing some guys i don't usually but to get a good position so many had decided to ai early or once with half average stack to ai no matter what. £3000 chips would allow more play post flop i feel and a more deserving, skillful winner would come to the fore on the night(no offence Solack) instead of who lucked out in two ai's or so. Please see this pst as constructive criticism but i shall still support it. Cheers

Hi Steve, all comments will be looked at by Sky_Dave, don't forget this is only the 2nd one that's ran, and it has had a few tweaks already since the first one. So still very much work In Progress I would imagine... that's not to say it WILL happen however .... just giving you a balanced reply to a valid and balanced post

I think the idea of the password was to try and get more people to come onto the forum. Totally agree with the idea of changing the blinds to 10 or 12 minutes. Mind you i'm bias as I hate fast structured games lol.
