Better spin your WH roll up! Also, read the PM I sent you.

Nova, is it £40 again?

Yes, I think it will be £40. And yeah, five people.

I'm sure Luw would be in aswell.

Cool. Do you know if Nick has improved the structure to ensure that the endgame isn't a shove/fold affair?

I kinda donked most of it last night.



Got into a massive hand A-Ks vs Q-Q pre in a HU tournie. We'd been playing for ages as I was trying to clear the withdrawal limit so the stacks were huge and I was about to quit when the ultamite cooler hit!

My silly fault, shouldn't have been doing HU cash on the roll, I would rather do SNGs to grind, but it only lets you do ridiculously small ones that are far beyond the call of duty for bankroll management.

To be honest, very few tournaments don't descend into that. We were playing for ten hours last time, its hard to structure it better when it has to be done in a day. We started with a thousand BBs, I wont be complaining too much!

I could easily put together a better structure. In fact, I'll do so tonight.

Anyways, what's your iPoker username?

I just re-read this post and there is conflicting information.

You said it was a HU tournament, but later say it was HU cash game. Which was it? If it was a cash game, what were the stakes?

Oh sorry - my mistake - it was HU Cash.

I'd nearly cleared the bonus, so I was trying to grind it when said hand came up. Not great bankroll management, not my finest hour!! Stakes were 0.05/0.10 - max buy in £10.

The only SNGs it would let me play were 1 dollar ones which never ever filled up, so Cash was the only option.

Ah I see. Have you managed to clear the bonus since? Even if you still have only a little in there, it's possible to run it up!

Count me in for the team game if there are any spaces left.

After all of the complaints Stars have already gone back to the old structure for 180-mans, and have said they will respond shortly to the comments.

Well, I think we at least have a definite pool of me, you, Drum and Luw. Red Devil may well play too, so that could make 5. DML is another mebbe, I think

Structure's not great, Drum, but DML is right - most live tournaments end up that way.

Have managed to drop 4 buy ins at 50NL in 220 hands on a table full of fish.
