Bronze match - please read

(1/3) > >>

Matt D:
Can captains of the teams playing the bronze playoff match please PM me their list of players for the heads up matches.

Sunday will consist of 4 HU matches followed by an STT.

The STT itself is currently incorrectly listed in the client, so please do not register yet. Later it will be changed to include the word "Bronze" in the title, so as to differentiate it from the other final taking place.

Aside from that, just make sure you"re all available on Sunday night and job"s a good"un :)

More info to follow when I can get to an Internet cafe later (we always stop off for a quick coffee after our morning wakeboard).

I"ll post HU draw on this thread when I"ve received both PMs.

Matt D:
To clarify, the Bronze final will be played over 1 match. That match will be Sunday @ 9pm. I am awaiting a list of 4 names from both captains to publish the Heads Up draw.

When I"ve got those names, I"ll post the draw. I suggest those games are played from 8pm (again, I"ll post suggested match times).

Curlarge:
Congrats to Matt, Sooooz, Phil and Colin on winning their bronze medals this evening, well played.

I would like to suggest the following however, which is not sour grapes as you deserved the win.

When these matches reach the final stages, the STT"s have to be organised correctly, in as much as each player must sit between 2 of the opposition at the start.

We had a, presumed, random draw tonight which sat 3 of our oppo in a line. After Colin was busted, our team then had all 4 players in a line and the chip dumping started.

At one stage Soooz was down to around 5 bigs on the BB and Phil raises from the button, Matt calls, Sue shoves and they both fold instantly. We knew that if they lost the next player we couldn"t lose, and I guess they did as well. It allowed Sue to get back in the game and changed the dynamic completely.

These actions were repeated by both teams (we had no choice but to do the same thing tbh) on numerous occasions and for me spoilt the event.

Like I said, take nothing away from the winners, but this has to be addressed before the next tourney, PLEASE :o

I actually had KK in that hand and would have loved a call... though preferably from one of your team obv :)

As you say that then started a trend which was only possible because we were all sat next to each other. The hand with Glenn was hilarious LOL, Glenn had 595? in bb @ 300/150, Andy calls, Curly calls, Glenn shoves his extra 295 and both fold  ;D  ;D  ;D

Ive played lots of team games in the past but must say i really struggled playing this one, it just wasn"t poker as it should be played. If the seating plan had been different it would have been a much more balanced game.

Unlucky guys, I really thought you had it locked up after the HU games.

Really enjoyed playing it though and hope it runs again.

Chipaccrual:
You aren"t going to be able to stop sitiuations like that happening.

Remember it is 4v4 on one table.  The software doesn"t allow manual seat allocation, in fact, I doubt any software does.

I watched the whole of the first Stt for the final on Wednesday, and it was 4v1 at the end, and guess what, the 4 didn"t play back against each other once.

Is that wrong ? In this particular scenario, I don"t think it is.  The playing field is level for everyone involved.

For me personally, I culdn"t rail it, and it was impossible to follow, so from a spectacle point of view, I think we would need to change the format going forward, but as for the team aspect, when it is just two teams remaining, perhaps heads up is the only true way to find a winner.
