GaF Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Appreciate this may be a contoversial choice for some of focus game, but if there's one game everyone should be playing, the laddies freeroll is it :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppie Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Re: **Poker Monday 16th June** base it on chipstacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Re: **Poker Monday 16th June** If the game finishes, then chip stacks are usually removed straight away. If it ends automatically, I could just award, say a 5th place to everyone in the top 20 :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ends automatically, I could just award, say a 5th place to everyone in the top 20 :unsure If you can't get a track of the chipstacks, then wouldn't it be fairer to award them with the number of points that the person finishing in 10.5th place (add up 10th and 11th and divide by 2) would have received? It won't affect me, I think, as I went on to the Lad's lobby very late last night, full of food and too much drink, and thought I'd got enough points - but I didn't :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the logic behind you arriving at your suggestion, but my way is definitely fairer. Just suppose we have 10 x PL people in the final 20 (unlikely, I admit, and it would be fan-diddly-tastic), how could you give them all the equivalent of 5th place? If play continues, and the 20 left in just treat it as an all-in fest, because it doesn't matter whether they finish 1st or 20th, then the PL survivors can just sit back quietly, watch the carnage and pick up extra BPP points, as the icing on a very large cake.

Rivrd Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Re: **Poker Monday 16th June** Why dont you just make the PokerKings game the focus, and for those who wish to play the laddies do so ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Re: **Poker Monday 16th June** We could see how many PL are left in and award them all whatever place that equates to.

glceud Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Re: **Poker Monday 16th June** Assuming 6000 entrants and 20 seats that are all to intensive purposes =first place, why not divide 6000 by 20(slapdash?) and give out points accordingly. So if you finish in 2000 place that is the same as 100th in a 300 runner field. Hope the maths is O.K. Would hate to see someone blow their chances of a W.S.O.P seat playing for a win when blinded by the possiblity of a few extra BPP points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
