UPS Poker Tournament

[pissedoffmanager]

Re-Raise says hmmmm. I play live poker a couple nights a week, My wife told me a couple of weeks ago I can play every night when I am divorced. (subliminal message there me thinks)

Never played online. Some of the guys I play with at the casinos say it is geared for action and I believe that to be a very real possibility.

By that I mean the hands could be programmed for large pots every so often rather then a random 52 card deck. For example a video poker machine runs on a similar type program. The site benefits when the amount of money running through the game and in turn their rake increases.

They could easily program 2 sets on the flop and then quads for the under set forcing all the money to go in no matter who is in the pot. I dont say they favor one player over another, just action.

Off my conspiratorial soap box now, I may still play.

Your concerns are valid and after the recent scandals involving sites like Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker, however, and you yourself can research this; The chances of set over set and quads over quads are much greater in live play than in online play. I have taken the worst "beats" playing live, and playing WSOP tournaments than I have ever taken playing online. You can check 2+2 and other forums, and they will tell you the same thing.

Where do you play live? I play live about two or three nights a week now that I have a decent schedule since I quit UPS and started teaching college. I enjoy playing live, but the lack of hands per hour makes playing @ Full Tilt much more profitable. Anyway, I hope you will join us on the 22'nd for the tournament, and maybe we can make it a weekly tournament!

Pissedoffmanager, you writing out the game rules? such as limits, or anything else you can think of. I figure all the tourney sites have .....rules.

St Louis casinos , central Ill home games.

Hey aren't you the guy who said I was drunk for calling "slavedriver" out for his bogus thread on getting a warning letter for not running an hour under? He said he used to call his customers to come and get their packages. You had his back if I remember right..

I can't remember calling you a drunk, if I did I am sorry.....not something I would typically say. I do remember a thread about someone getting a warning letter for not running under, which I do have a problem with, if I remember correctly there was probably more to it than that.

I'll let the site set the limits, figure about 10 minute levels, with about 3000 - 5000 starting stacks.....most people like deep stack play.

Turned out to be all made up.

Most tournaments end shortly after the big blind reaches 5% of the total chips in play. Whenever I run a tournament I take the time I want the tournament to end and work backwards to determine the length of time and blind structure for each level.
