Says who? Cash games are cash games! People can site down with what they want (within max and min limits)
and as a cash game the winner should always be the person who wins the most cash!
My point is that a cash game is inclusive not exclusive, and should involve as many different strategies as the effective stack sizes and skill levels dictate. That"s what makes them so intriguing and challenging.
I would personally want to be allowed to buy up to 400bigs, and would start with 200, but would be more than happy to have a range at the table from 50 to 400.

I am not playing Cardiff for obvious reasons but I still love this format and really wouldlike to see it work. I fully intend to play again this season.
To change the format at this late stage seems a bit unfair to some of the players who have planned to play the event based on the info previously given, both formats are fine but the one that was originally advertised is what we should go with imho. Totally agree the game is not deep enough for straddles, don"t see what purpose they would serve here either.
3x£50 top ups is clearly better than one. I cannot see any disadvantages to allowing this from anybodies point of view and it will make the game deeper, so make it more cash game like.
Biggest stacks and not the most profit should go to the final table but everybody should have the option to use all their top ups at the end. We want the final table as deep as possible. That way it WILL be far more of a cash game than a tournament.

This should all have been sorted long before now.
The £200 to £100 issue is such a fundamental shift.
Disappointing also not to get any response from anyone in APAT.

My 2p on why straddles should be allowed:
1) they create action
2) help enable players to make bigger mistakes OOP.
3) they are optional!

Unless by straddling you make effective stacks shallow enough to remove even more options; in a format that encourages being risk-averse due to finite stacks. Could end up playing effective
