Rebuy tournies
Mar. 5th, 2006 08:31 amAn excellent thread on Gutshot on rebuy tournaments, summing up as it does many of my reasons for not playing B&M tournaments any more. (http://www.gutshot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=37487#37487).
One player complained about being allocated an eight-handed table, claiming that this put him at a disadvantage. Without going into the maths of this (I do so in the Gutshot thread), MattJ replies with an excellent summing up of B&M rebuys, pointing out all those horrible things.
Take last night for example; i started 8 handed on Brunson downstairs. (the really uncomfortable one squished right in the corner). In fact for about 10 mins at the end of the rebuys we seemed to be 7 handed! How many of those seven players made the last two tables? Hmmmm i seem to remember 3 of us at the last two tables. [Myself, busting in ~12th, the nice young asian lad in the grey hoodie whose name i should know but embarassingly don't, busted about 15th and the youngish guy in the blue shirt who made the final].
I can imagine it. Squashed up against the wall, looking at 10-handed tables all around, as you are 7-handed. Despearate for a pee but acessing the loo requires organization of a logistical complexity utterly beyond most B&M poker players. So you hold it in. Oh yes, been there many times. Again? No thank you.
