I don't really understand all of the complaining about structures. If you don't like the structure just don't play the tournament. I certainly enjoy playing long deepstacked events, but I don't really see the reason to complain so much. Not every event needs to have 30000bbs.

If no one complained nothing would ever improve

Re: Daniel Negreanu was Right; WPT 10K in Biloxi has bad structure

While I do agree that The Chainsaw does an inordinate amount of complaining, I do think that high profile 10k MTTs should have these levels.

There is a fine line between being a whiny little bi*ch and making constructive critical arguments to "make the game better" for everyone. AK needs to learn how to walk this line.

Maybe if you stopped complaining, YOU would improve.

Whens the last time you studied your game, or tried to take in new strategies/adjust to the way the games being played? You keep complaining about structures because you dont know how to adjust to them. No one else ever has a problem anywhere close to what you do with structures because we know how to play optimally in those situations.

Faster structures dont mean that you dont have an edge anymore. It might be smaller, depending on how well your table push/folds or rejams, or it might be close to the same in these smaller buyins where people dont really know how to do these things optimally.

TEACH YOURSELF. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ITS YOUR JOB.

I agree with the Chainsaw. I do think the 90 minute levels will keep the average stack high enough, but I would rather have slightly shorter levels and smoother jumps if it has to be only 4 days. To the vast majority of the players 10k is significant money and the win would be lifechanging so I doubt there would be too many complaints if they threw in the missing levels, not to mention some extra ones that could be in there

Re: Daniel Negreanu was Right; WPT 10K in Biloxi has bad structure

I think I finally understand all the Chainsaw complaints/threads/posts... he is a mediocre player at best, lost in the sea of tournaments grinders. He has decided to 'make a name for himself' and become 'famous' and more 'recognizable'... by constantly creating these threads and continuous complaining about tournament structures, people will inevitably and unfortunately pay attention to him. After all, why should he change and improve his game, while he can always blame it on the structure? Good job Allen.

These posts are really dumb. There aren't many $10K events per year in the US. Good players are significantly +EV in even the worst structured $10K, so it doesn't make sense not to play in it. By skipping one you're costing yourself money. At the same time, because there are so few events of this magnitude each year, it makes sense for those who play in them to want them to have great structures. And as Allen said the only way to improve things is to let your complaints be heard.

Do NOt let these people taunts and suggestions of ILL WILL halt you.

I had to LOOK UP DOUBLEJOKER but I know who you are. I had probably played with you.

People are cruel and vicious and its because they are hungry and scared.

Everyone is though.

Also I dont trust slot machines. Simply because of my experience with them.

THANK YOU

Re: Daniel Negreanu was Right; WPT 10K in Biloxi has bad structure

You guys.. if you insult chainsaw in the wrong way, he'll think that we actually don't have legitimate reasons to hate him.

Chainsaw, nobody wants to hear you whine about bad structures. First of all, you're wrong really often. Second of all, when a structure actually is bad, people are really unlikely to take you seriously because you cry wolf about every tournament. Third of all, you've become such a joke that even if someone wanted to take you seriously on 2p2, they'd just get drowned out in a thread full of people insulting you.

The fact that this gets pointed out to you every time you make one of these threads and you still make a thread like this once a week or something is just insane. The mods even made a thread to contain all your stupid threads, and you still keep posting new ones oblivious to the fact that nobody wants them.
