Guppie Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Dear paul, Forget the Morris dancing and stow away the Maypole! Celebrate the May Bank Holiday weekend by playing bizarre poker tournaments! Throughout the weekend compete in our conundrum causing $5+$0.50 Sit'n'Go May-hem tournaments, which will pay 50% to 1st place and 50% to 6th place. GUKPT satellite tokens for the top three players with the most Sit'n'Go May-hem wins. How will you play them? The marathon will seem like a stroll in the park compared to Endurance May-hem! Starting at 7pm Sunday evening, this $10+$1 MTT will feature an extended re-buy period with 30 minute blinds and added GUKPT tokens for the top 3 finishers. Blind May-hem will epitomize the nature of Blue Square Poker's bizarre events! Taking place at 7pm Monday night, this $3+$0.30 re-buy MTT will require you to continually adjust your game to meet the unusual blind structure which will start high, drop and build back up again!

Robbiebox Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Re: Blue Square Mayhem mmmmm sounds crazy. Question though is what is the best way to play these? Surely you have to go all-in first hand !? I mean if everyone goes all-in first hand, do they split the bottom prize 5 ways ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Re: Blue Square Mayhem The SnG Mayhem doesn't look very interesting. As others have said, it's fairly clear that the best strategy is to go all-in first hand. Now, if it had been 10-max with prize money split between 1st and 6th place, that would be more interesting.

Robbiebox Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Re: Blue Square Mayhem Actually' date=' that's assuming everybody who goes out first hand ties for 6th place: does anybody know if those are the rules?[/quote'] I played two of them yesterday. Same on each, 4 of us all-in first hand, 1 sitting out(they dont fill up quick) and 1 guy folded! WTF! Also I was out both times with 3 others so got $5 back from my $5.50. The winner of the hand is then obviously a 4:1:1 favourite, or has an EV of $10. Whilst the guy who folded has an EV of $2.50. In summary: Going all-in is the best play and the EV for entering is: If everyone goes all in you have a EV of -$0.50 If one person doesn't go all-in then you have an EV of +$0.00, the guy who folded has an EV of -$3.00 If two people don't go all-in then you have an EV of +$0.75, the guys who folded each have an EV of -$3.00 If three people don't go all-in then you have an EV of +$2.00, the people who folded each have an EV of -$3.00 If four people don't go all-in then you have an EV of +$4.50, the people who folded each have an EV of -$3.00 If you are the only one all-in then this is the real game theory situation and potentially the worst situation as the others then can gaurantee a +EV by going all-in the next hand and you would be -EV. Not worked the firgures out, but wonder if enough players would think like this. You don't even have to go all-in , just a raise puts you in this position if everyone else folds. However I presume if you are the lowest stack when you go all-in you will be declared last position, so the BB from the previous hand would be last place ! If they had $1000 tourneys would surely be interesting. I am one sad poker addict thinking like this :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
