Cash Tour - Cardiff
MintTrav:
I played the one in Coventry and enjoyed it. However, it wasn"t a cash game. It was one-hundred percent a tournament (with static blinds).
One idea could be to allow unlimited reloads, making it more like a real cash game. This would allow players to make decisions on percentages, knowing they can reload if it goes wrong, instead of needing to avoid elimination. This would also help to achieve the deeper stacks that several players expressed a desire for.

Didn"t quite feel deep enough to me (though I know others disagree). Almost everybody took the top up immediately, so it forces you towards being nitty and protecting your "tournament" life. Also suggests people weren"t too bothered with a £100 cost.
- Could increase the buy-ins to Nottingham levels, but retain the Coventry stakes. Stacks are immediately 200BBs
- I didn"t like the ability to instantly top up, I think some restriction on this would be better. 2 top ups rather than 1 might help too, though it begins to get expensive!
Though it was certainly impacted by only having 18 runners. Was still fun though.

What feedback? Can"t find anything on the boards.
What happened?

It was a good event and players were discussing their preferred tweeks. Some of these were fed back to Mark and Des.

Most definitely were - i fielded several comments and opinions expressed as feedback - all were greatly appreciated.
I have summarised these and we will be reviewing the structure for the Cash Tour Legs for Cardiff and beyond.

Sorry Dave, completely disagree.
2 x £50 is a perfect level. Gets people who are not really cash players interested for a total loss of £100. Any higher than that and you"re looking at £200-£300 - and a lot of the people that play APATs are generally a bit wary of losing such sums of money in one night. Have to look at the total loss at the end of the day or it will die out.
Agree with the immediate top up thought though - game should be treated as a double chance.

I don"t think 2 x £50 is a perfect level and I don"t think most others who played it do either.
I think there are many other factors that people will consider before choosing to play this or not. Extra accommodation costs, missing out on the Friday night on the beer, the late finish, being some of those.
I also don"t think the fact it was only £110 attracted that many people who are "not really cash players".
If the maximum was £200/£300 etc then someone wanting to dip their toe in the cash game water can still buy-in for £50 and walk away if they do the lot, exactly like any other cash game.
