I have been saying it for a while since I played back in playground poker a few years ago. Button antes is the best ever. Less confusion, more hands played. So hope this rolls out ASAP.
Also Frankie is there a reason why there are less 100ks ? I feel like 2-3 years ago you had multiple 100ks and they never came up short. Why did 50k become the new norm?
I think even a 150k easily crushes. Need more incentive for people to want to come out!
Anyways , Goodluck to myself and anyone next weekend.
**** edit**** went back and read the last few pages.
And with reading that, have you considered trying a 75k or 100k for the $260 buyin? That seems very very promising and rebuys sure would cover it.
Also whoever said it, I like the idea of 200bb to start and make mid levels longer for more play.
Hi Carl, just a quick note , as part of our Super Stacks Series we do a $100K for $250 and we have for the past 5 years.
We still do $100K events for $570 at times but the $50K's have settled into what our guests like. A lot of our guests, cash and Tournament , felt priced out when the larger events came around so we made some adjustments to our schedule and our price points. We added tournaments so that there is at least one $50K or above almost every month. Nothing is set in stone, we will add and/or adjust events as we move forward to satisfy the majority of our guests.
One last point, 2 to 3 years ago was a different time in the region for poker. Guests traveled from further destinations to play in events than need to now. There are more poker rooms, more venues and more events for guests to attend and many of them are closer to home for poker guests. Don't get me wrong, we still get great turnouts for our events but with more events available in the region we need to keep an eye on the timing of those events as there are many chances for them to overlap with other properties.
The response to the BB Antes has been split, but I will be looking to move forward with a trial as soon as we can! Thanks to all and hope to see you soon!
