Re – Buys

Ok Gents I would like to in a calm and rational way bring up the subject of re buys. (save the jokes)

We start the game  with 10,000 chips  (25-50) blinds  –   that equals 200 big blinds    (that is plenty)

If you re buy later  Example:  5,000 chips  (200-400) blinds  –   that equals 12.5 big blinds  (for the same price???)

It is my opinion that if we gave bigger re buys people would probably play smarter.  5k on tilt  really only leaves you with one move, jamming it all in, this will either result in a bogus double up or a 5k gift for ONE other person. Either way it’s shitty for the players who have managed their stack all game and don’t have deep pockets to play so loose.

The idea that a player can be  “OUT” and then re buy 2-3 times eventually get lucky enough to knock out someone who has played better and protected his stack is unfair.

Either increase the re buy chips or eliminate them.  I think it is the last Donkey part of our game.

I also feel once you have busted out you should be inelligable for any points that night. This will discourage some from re buying.

The question is do we want to give busted players a chance to get back in to take YOUR chips or send them packing?

Peace.

In for events

If you are in for an event. Just type in or Maybe. NOT OUT!

If you are a Maybe and change to out then delete your booking for the event by going to My bookings. This frees up a spot at the table.

If you are bringing up to two people then above where you type” in” there is a drop menu set to 1. If there is you and a guest then choose 2 if you and two guest then choose 3. If this changes then delete your booking (in My booking) and re-book for the proper number (in Events).

There are 12 spots reserved for the game. When you choose 2 spots it automatically take up two seats at the table.  When you say out it takes up a spot.

 

That is how it was written and shall be and forever as he who writes shall never change the written unless the great author of all who records the great written word believes that he means to change as it was written. That is all.
