Re: The Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler Absurdity Containment Thread

We saw what 15 bb final tables did to bellagio turnouts. They avg 40 an event now. They were also embarrassed about publicly providing structures.

Re: The Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler Absurdity Containment Thread

this seems like a pretty legitimate gripe, i feel like > 50% of the posters who berate chainsaw put absolutely no thought into their criticisms. mind you, chainsaw has made an incredible number of useless/pointless-other-than-to-whine posts, but when a TD promises you a structure at a wsop-c stop, you book a trip to the next one based on that promise, and show up to a ****ty structure and broken promise, it is easily within your bounds to complain, and loudly at that. of course, chainsaw could learn to adapt to diff structures, but its his prerogative to choose whatever style he wants and choose tourneys based on their structures due to his style, his gripe has absolutely nothing to do with that.

this encourages the point of view that bitching about small, insignificant things make his raising of legitimate concerns that much weaker.

Re: The Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler Absurdity Containment Thread

so a td said the structure was going to be the same, but that doesnt mean it was set in stone, things change/happen, deal with it

The Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler Absurdity Containment Thread

I GOT CHAINSAWED!

When I arrived to play the 1K Omaha 8 I picked up the structure sheet and with hour long levels and 12K in chips it seemed VERY GOOD! I later found out that Allen Kessler complained that there was no 300-600, 500-1,000, and 1,200-2,400 Limits so they ADDED them?

We are now at 18 players remaining of the original 35 that started.

MaverickUSC did not play the event because of the change.

On the bright side I think I am the chip leader after day one with 45K just about double average

Somethings are absurd, others warrant a thread...
