i suggest blinds to go up every 12 minutes rather than 15. i know the more time per blinds, the more skill and less luck, BUT these 40 people tournaments take 5 hours! and if u get to the last 4 people u will be playing for a very long period of time! its only a $10 tournament :club: ....

i'd be curious to hear some feedback from some of the rest of the regulars on this.from my understanding in the past everyone liked the double chips starting out and the longer blinds.if it is getting where the are lasting too long we can shorten them for the next quarter.

this would be a terrible idea for the HORSE tourneys. would probably matter less for NLHE, but it would suck something awful for a limit tourney in a mixed game setting. part of what i like about the negos is that they allow me to experiment with new lines and tactics against fairly decent players in a cheap buyin setting without risking a lot of money. if we make them too much of a gambool in terms of structure, people will be playing preflop or 3rd street poker too often and make that element of these disappear. believe it or not, i can improve as a player while drinking whiskey. :)imo.

Razz is a poker game played just like 7 Card Stud Except you have to make the best low hand instead of high.The Wheel (A,2,3,4,5) is the best possible hand in Razz and Ace's always play low. Good Luck playing! And keep your eyes open for me Pkrchef26!

It's there under Negreanu Open - $11 Razz. Tournament #71969170

I figured the idea of a FCP private tournament was for it to be actual poker, not a turbo pre-flop donk fest. I really like the current structure. I can play anytime I want in turbo, double turbo's, triple turbo's, but really enjoy that there is some poker to be played in these for a resonable small buy-in. I can only speak to the Tuesday night games (scheduling conflict until end of bowling season on Wednesday), but I would suggest structure stays the same. Also, thank you DNA for putting the time in to organize these events and you efforts to seek out feedback to improve tourny. Just my 2 cents worth.VEGAS IN 20 DAYS BABY!!

Actually I think technically my script counts the final 8 on the mixed league and final 9 on the nlhe nights for the final table so if you finished 8th and the final table was really 7 then you got credit for making the final table. I'll have to make an adjustment for future references. Enjoy the inflated ego of having an extra final table on your stats for now :club:
