Limit will be double the pot for the first half hour, and then we'll judge based on the pace of the game. No buying back in. We'll have music and refreshments. It's a great cause, hope to see you there!

Man, turns out I have something planned that night. Wish I'd known earlier.

Okay I am so there. Now I just need to find out where the Bragaw Activity Room is... I know where Bragaw is though.

Bragaw Activity Room is right in the center of the Bragaw X

at the final table they split the chips in half and added two stacks of ten to everyone's hand. i had about 60 after they split it in half and had more chips than anyone at the table. However, after they added two stacks of twenty to each hand that really made it unfair for me because now my chipstack would be a lot smaller compared to their's than what it was.

me: 60 chips player a: 30 chips ratio of his chips to mine: 50%

afterwards:
me: 80 chips player a: 50 chips ratio of his chips to mine: 62.5%

This made it unfair at the final table for the skilled players who built their stacks up throughout the tournament. I suggest you run a poker tournament right next time especially if it is for charity.

so basically you lost out to "player a"

11/11/2005 10:47:38 AM

still doesn't make it fair, one guy had about 360 chips when they did this shit

11/11/2005 11:11:08 AM

i know who you are...

i was there and you are right, i was just messing with you

11/11/2005 11:16:43 AM

that sounds like horseshit to me

11/11/2005 2:44:41 PM

they just tried anything to hurry up the tournament to get it out of there by 9, a lot of what they did took out of the fun, our blinds kept being raised before the dealer chip made it all the way around the table

11/11/2005 5:39:19 PM

How would giving people more chips at the final table hurry it up any?

11/12/2005 3:50:19 AM

they took away chips at the final table and made players with larger chip stacks have less of an advantage
