Online Satellites - Too many chips??
SirPercival:
Given last nights result I would say the original question should be answered with a YES.
duncthehat:
Well we finished last night around 2.20 am.
The heads up was quite a marathon for online tourneys.
I am a very keen advocate of 5000 chips deep stack, it is what APAT is about.
I cant see how you can have different starting chips for weekday tourneys compared to weekend ones.
Of course the fact I won might make me a little biased ;D
Swinebag:
a 6 hr online MTT is too long for me, with work the following day to consider
Not that I should worry too much about the lack of sleep, given how easily I donked my chips away.
I do agree that deep stacks are what APAT is about and any suggestion to change starting stacks and blind levels would be out purely selfish motives. Sounded like a great tourney with a good turnout. Looking forward to the next one, whenever that will be for me.
JulioArca:
I thought last nights structure was excellent, and allowed for a fair amount of play. Unfortunately too many pople entered ;D
Tiredness really started to kick in after midnight and I ended up folding KQs to a minimum raise all in by two others, only to see the flop come 9c th js - couldnt believe it and spent the next 5 minutes berating everything rather loudly. >:( (not good at that hour of the day). Having got to second with 80k chips it would have put me over the 100k mark.
Then proceeded to donk off my remaining chips with a K9 to A3 on an AKx flop - stoopid. Okay very tired and stoopid.
So all in all a late night Monday (qualified for Walsall), a late night Thursday (11th place) and no doubt another late night tomorrow. (If I make it that far).
But hey nobody said it was easy....... :P
PS For what its worth a 7 - 7:30pm start wouldn"t be too bad as the slow structure allows pre-registration and you wont lose too many chips. Alternatively how about 4500 chips as a compromise. :-\
Swinebag:
good point. An earlier start would be appreciated, again only for selfish reasons. I sat down 30 mins in yesterday and had only lost a handful of chips.
So an early start isn"t too bad for the commuter crew.
