Matchday 2 update thread

Yeah, it seems insanely quick for the changes that have been made. Feels like there are fewer levels - I'm sure it'll be tweaked again.

Out in 320th

I notice about 140 players out in about 70 minutes

I'm not convinced that a tournament losing a player every 30 seconds is a good reflection of the structure.

More a statement about the standard of play imo

Totally agree Jon. This is virtual shove fest after an hour.

I don't think so* - average stack has been less than 30 blinds for ages - perfect size for a 3 bet shove. At the rate the blinds are going it won't be long until the mathematically correct players will be open shoving their ranges - hence lots of all ins and lots of people going out.


*people might not actually be playing this way to get themselves knocked out, so you might be right

Sorry Jon, didn't realise that the stacks had got that shallow already, obv i'm not playing tonight.
Structure obv contributing to it in that case, still think a fair amount will have been due to players getting chips in light when they didn't need to. Would be interesting to see some of the bust out hands

[mylesfdo]

Total shove fest.....u get one shot basically and if u get unlucky or dont hit your fkd!!

About half field gone after 90 mins is just ridiculous............shant be playing again unless structure sorted......5k and 12 min way fwd I think.

Out btw!! :'(

[Munty]

Defintley feels more like a turbo structure....at least 5k starting stack but blinds are ok at 12mins unless we start to have less runners. Trial and error, but need to get the structure right!

[dwh103]

It just needs more levels before everyone is down to 20-30BBs (as Jon alluded to).

At the moment the starting stack is down to 20 bigs after an hour - some extra levels early like 30/60, 40/80 to pad out the structure would be very welcome.

Or give everyone a lot more chips. 10k starting and then it's 30-40 minutes further before you reach 20BBs - that's all it would increase the length of the tournament by too.

Rich, any chance of a list of the players that are still in mate?

I may have missed someone here:

Mr_PokerBits
NPenfold
Quasar9
sean69
Spazmong
TRIGGER1964

No-one aside from Lee really threatening the chipleaders.

I've been stuck on half the average for ages, stealing here and there, whilst watching absolute tripe been typed in chat by people not really playing in the APAT spirit (let alone they clearly know nothing about poker either ).

[Quasar]

I'm out    My AQ ran into AA

Yep, me LordMunty and just had a double up to 15k

[dwh103]

Well, me, Quasar, LeaveMeOut and NPenfold all busted within minutes of the restart.

33 into TT for me. Regged late and never got above the average, went to the well once too often.

Good luck those left in

*Leaves to tag LordMunty*
