Some of us are born suggesters; some of us are born complainers. Let us play to our strengths, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazabroad Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games As its a freeroll, for a change, why not the Nordicbet at 6.30? With about 4000 entrants there will be many points available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With about 4000 entrants there will be many points available? Yeah - sure will be plenty of points available - I don't like the "value" though - at about 35c player, by my usual criteria, it shouldn't even be in the diary - not sure I want to "push" people towards such a poor value freeroll :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaulc Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games bit early for pokerstars at the moment but will they be doing a HOSE? thought it was good experience last time,and having the different formats is good for everybody i think:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games They don't seem to do many HORSE/HOSE MTTs on stars after those first couple :( Definitely would vote for one if there is one, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games Yeah - I'd enjoy the HOSE/HORSE - but as you say, don't seem to be many low fee ones around any more on Stars.... Also hesitant to have another variation so quickly after such a low turnout last Monday for the Omaha....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmcroft Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games why not a daft no value freeroll like nordic or even safety :loon as we need a biggie to overtake the mighty LBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games As the only real option at the moment - Nordicbet freeroll it is :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games Am going for the 11 am Betway freeroll on Saturday too...... I KNOW it's not an ideal option, but with so many big buy in events on Saturday Night (on non core sites, so cannot be focus games) I would rather go for the early game than end up getting us all playing the Bet365 freeroll at the same time as other buy in games.......l The Betway is also a higher value game :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelopeys Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games As the only real option at the moment - Nordicbet freeroll it is :ok Why not the HU at SO again... or another low buy in MTT... say $10... Or simply turn friday night into PL Private MTT at Prima ??? I for one would never spend my time on Nordic bet freeroll... as you said Gaf... Very poor value... PS. SORRY FOR MAKING SUGGESTIONS SOOOOOO LATE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games The problem is - whilst I know you wouldn't play something like the Nordicbet, a lot of others will - a typical $10 buy in, unless it is huge added value, just isn't supported - focus games with 6 entries or so, just aren't worthwhile!!!! If you want more buy in games - here's an opportunity ;) But it NEEDS TO BE SUPPORTED if it is what people want!!! - http://www.punterslounge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34611 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmcroft Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games Just a suggestion gaf? Why not run 2 BPP leagues running side by side The first would be a freeroll event every night with the other league costing of a buy in every night This way everyone would be happy (potentially) I know it potentially means more work for you but it may mean less grief in the long run What do you think?

GaF Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games I know it potentially means more work for you but it may mean less grief in the long run Have thought about it - but believe me - there's enough work in 1 league!!!!!

I might be sounding thick here, I understand the concept of value for a game that you have to buy into, ie prize money per head combined with amount spent and no. of players entered. How can a game that costs nothing to play be bad value, except for the fact that you will spend a while playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games Freeroll value = payout divided by players, giving what it would have cost you to enter that tournament. So $100 freeroll with 1000 entries ... equal to 10 cent buy in...poor ''value''. $1000 freeroll with 100 entries...equal to $10 buy in...great ''value''.

I think they just mean that, while there is positive value, the amount of positive value is poor (compared to other "value" tournaments).

Penelopeys Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Fridays Focus games I am thinking about my time aswell. If I spend 3 or 4 hours playing a pokergame, the potential payout in the end HAVE to be more than a few $ per hour... ...and to be honest... freeroll poker doesn't appeal much to me, too many "crazy" players going all in all the time, to be a large stack from the beginning. But hey... don't change anything, I think most people on PL like the way the league is now. I will just be the weekly secret guest sometimes :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
