Cash Tour - Cardiff
Delboy:
I agree with Adam. Between 100 and 200 BBs is the perfect starting level, should lead to deeper stacks at the final table.
Although TBH, I fail to see the need for a FT with no medals to play for. Why not just have a 5 hour Cash game, and the three biggest winners get the points/ bonus money?
EDIT: p.s. what were the tweeks suggested please?
Delboy:
Also don"t increase blinds for Final two hours.

Even although the blinds were .25/.50 the game played more like .50/1
You could make the blinds .05/.10 I think the PFR and 3bet sizes would just be less in proportion.
100BB is not deep for a cash game.
I sort of agree with the final table comment, I struggled to see the point in this and it was very different to the DTD game (which I didnt play but did watch) where there was a lot more money involved and a Bracelet for the winner. I do however think this would be better tested with a field more than 18 and deeper stacks.
I don"t know all the tweeks suggested but there was a lot of talk by the players at the time and I know some spoke to Mark and Des.

I know but, the exciting thing about this concept, for me, is that as play continues, stacks get deeper and players have to adjust their play in ways they are not used to in tournaments. If you start with >200BBs there is a minimum amount of adjustment to make.

I"m assuming that people opened the betting with larger bets than you would expect at .25/.50? if so, why is that a problem?
You/ They can play how you/ they want. Cash game play is about adjusting to different opponents and taking their money. if their opening is too high try something other than 3betting x3 their bet, surely. or let them grab their .75 winnings, and play the next hand.
I have a further question: Are you able to bring a small extra stack of "tipping chips" t the table in additon to your starting stack?
Des:
Some really good feedback came from the event in Coventry and I"m very keen to use this thread to make this format as strong as possible, so that we can start to promote in a much bigger way, when it"s right.
Feedback included:-
1) Players believe it would be more attractive if the minimum sit down could be £50 but the max £200 - or a £100/£200 split - as per DTD. This so that they could "apply proper cash strategies" to the game play - in essence pressure bets more without feeling "limited" to the £100 cap.
2) Players asked if straddles were allowed. They weren"t in Coventry, but I like the thought of cash game specific features like this. What do you guys think? If applied, what rules would you have around them?
3) Unclear whether cash rules should apply or tournament rules for when there is all in and a call. Should cards go on their backs (as in tournies) or do players not have to reveal hole cards when all in (as in cash games).
4) In Brighton each player contributed a payment that ended up being won by the eventual Champion. So £10 per player could see the winner walking away with an additional £400. Yes / No?
Let"s open the debate on these and your other ideas here. This is our format and you guys have a unique opportunity to implement some of your thinking into it, so have a real think and let us know how you"d like to see Cash Tour develop.
