slapdash Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Re: Betfred Vegas I meant - hope you showed your opponents - put them on tilt ..... lol All 4 of us now in the last 20 But not for long. Waited for a reasonable hand to make a move with before the blinds got me, and was dealt 42o, 83o, 42o, 73o, 82o. The blinds were coming, so I went all-in with the 82o. Didn't work.

GaF Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Re: Betfred Vegas Sorry Tufty - question has to be asked - WTF? Called an all in for most of your stack with TQ (I didn't see - did you put a raise in first?) - when you're sitting on the fringe of the top 5? Then, on tilt I presume, all-in next 2 or 3 hands till you were out in 11th - were you bursting for the loo or something?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Re: Betfred Vegas I spose what I'm not considering is that it was down to about 6 handed ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tufty fan club Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Re: Betfred Vegas Fair question mate. This guy had done a few all ins and my gut told me that QT would be a good call. If i win I virtually guarantee qualification. Next hand I had pocket 6.s with not many chips left and after that went into gamble mode. In hindsight I could have played it safe but sometimes you just get that feeling. oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Betfred Vegas Hmmmm........ Have I got the "value" calculation in this wrong? Currently playing in a qualifier (in 5th with 20 left) - and I notice that the prize pool is $250 - with 5 seats available, that means that they value each one at $50 (I valued each one at $13) - does this mean that the prize fund will be considerably bigger than the $10,000 suggested? Is it $50 per seat, then "Vegas" prize added? The final (with 361 qualifiers so far) has no suggestion of a prize fund greater than $10,000 ($50 * 361 = $18,050)...... Think I'll drop Betfred a line for clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philossify Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Betfred Vegas I think the $50 value is nominal. In the early days of the competition when there were 100+ in per round I thought BetFred had hit on a clever scheme to make money as the amount they were going to take in at a dollar a go was going to be a lot more than $10000 - with the decreased numbers in lots of rounds now then I think they got the deal about right. However if they were to increase the payout to number of qualifiers times $50 then that would make it brilliant..... Me and two of my brothers qualified within the first week at a cost of $2 or less each - so it can't be that hard :lol :lol :lol. Would have been interesting if they let you qualify any number of times and just gave you more chips at the start - except that would have been a better deal for retirees etc.... I feel deprived every Wednesday lunchtime in not being able to do the SO dollar up :cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Betfred Vegas I think the $50 value is nominal. I think you're right - but if so I also think it's a bit out of order - the prize fund isn't $10,000, it's $10,000 guaranteed (i.e. minimum $10,000) - so if there are 500 people entering, with seats having a nominal value of $50 each, then it's wrong that the prize fund is $10,000 and not $25,000. If they want to assign a "nominal" value, then it should be $0.01 or something, not $50!!! Me and two of my brothers qualified within the first week at a cost of $2 or less each - so it can't be that hard :lol :lol :lol. Well I've spent $3 (at least!!!) on this and am still not in :sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
