Swift_Psycho 1 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm really not happy that they don't keep the numbers up on the screen anymore of how much was bet after an all in. Now they just have "All In" up on the screen. I'm sitting there thinking, "Damn it, how much?"It was one of the biggest reasons why I liked watching the WPT compared to the WSOP and now it's gone.

HiattFan 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 My problem is that the side panels on the screen no longer show the bet amount at all times like they used to. Used to be way easier to follow the action. Link to post Share on other sites

"You can't just change the rules in the middle of the game"I did a search, and I found the blind structure for the PokerStars Caribbean adventure in 2006. It stops at day 4 when they play to 6 players (when the WPT kicks in). At that point, they only indicate that the starting blinds are based on the average chips in play. They don't state how long the levels are, though.PokerStars Caribbean Adventure info Link to post Share on other sites

In most cases, the blinds go down. The average stack has an M of 20 when the final table starts, also not bad.According to this link, the levels are still 75 minutes.I think that's a good deal for the players, and if they had a "normal" structure that went up like normal tournies, it would be more of an all-in fest at the final table than it is now.

acesfull333 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Shana's leaving was her own decision, if I remember correctly... she thinks she's got enough name recognition to try to move up in Hollywood... good luck to her... :)Secondly, I'm sure i've read that they do in fact accelerate the blinds at the final table... as mentioned before, it goes from the standard 1.5-2 hours to something like 30-45 minutes.... they do this to keep down the production costs, and it's one of the main points of contention between the players and the WPT... the big name players don't like having to 'gamble' for the tourney win after working hard through the normal levels to get to the final table...

reedmcneal 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I've heard the arguments the wpt has made for the final table blind structure, and they just don't make sense. Because the most money is won and lost at this point in the tournament, it is of the utmost importance that the blind structure facilitate skillful play. When the blinds are raised every 30 minutes the more skilled players lose out, and most decisions become mathematical in nature. This leads to the all-in-fests that occur, and the players being at the mercy of the cards they are dealt.For this reason I have to say I favor the wsop telecasts, even if I have to put up with Norman Chad and his ex-wife jokes.

Jdr999 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 youre off a daywednesdayAt 9pmEST.Also, the blinds at the WPT final tables are raised every hour, and when it gets heads-up, they get raised every 30 minutes. And the WPT sets the blinds levels they start at based on the chip average of the table (I think it's an average of 40 Big Blinds.) Link to post Share on other sites
