Not saying you are wrong Shanny, just explaining the (assumed) logic.
Guess there is room for tactical play - if you binked huge early doors in the MTT jobbie, then switch games & go the Freeroll, SNG or Cash Route, to maximise your chances.
In many previous Promos, there has been chuntering from the SNG/MTT/Cash/Small/Medium/Big players, so here, it looks to me they they have tried to ensure EVERYONE has a chance. It's very difficult getting the balance right & pleasing every player.
You COULD - & very likely would - play, say, 25 or 50 Tourneys & not cash much, then go on a heater & cash in or win several. That's how MTT's work, as you know.
I'm just trying to set out the Promos in easy to read lingo, I can't really attempt to justify, or not, the logic of the Promos, heads far wiser than mine (though probably not older) put them together.
for the suggestion box (as it was last time): the average ROI challenges into blocks of games, where the best block counts. So in this case, each 15 games block is a new attempt - everyone has a chance, grinders have a bit more of a chance.
all I'm saying is that the effect of 20 odd people not palying much during the promotion so they dont "ruin their chances" is probably minimal compared to the effect it will have on extra people playing MTTs. I guess it must be the case, because the same thing was brought up last time and they decided to keep it as is.
Re: The MTT one, if you have a ROI league someone will say 'Why not profit?' and give a sound case as to why. Equally if you have a profit league someone will say 'Why not ROI?' and make a sound case as to why. Just roll with it imo.
I have no idea if I am eligible for any of these or what will happen if I win a seat through a weekly final again. So I'm just gonna grind hard, play them anyway and see what happens.
Good luck all
Any player that has already won a 6-Max UKPC Main Event seat without the (£500 expense credit) can still participate in the promotion and will be awarded the same cash value up to £500 of the seat value/package they win.
Thanks,
Justin
- Only tournaments with a minimum buy-in of £5.50 and that were played between 1st - 31st May 2014 will count towards this promotion.
- All tournament types are included except for satellites, freerolls and timed tournaments.
Hi Tikay
Sent you a PM - Sorry for the lateness
I'm on the ball today - for a change!
It's usually me who is late, or forgets, so I'm glad it was you this time.
Good luck tonight.
Someone could - will! - bink Sunday's Mega-Roller & that's pretty much game over, so I prefer average ROI, as it gives those at lower levels the same chance to win.
Truth is, as you say, it is simply impossible to have a Promo which completely satisfies everyone. I reckon this one is as near as it gets though, right down to the Freerolls.
The very large majority of ALL poker players are "odd night recreationals" to use your phrase. They rarely use Forums, they just do their thing & enjoy themselves, these players are the very backbone of poker, & it would be foolish in the extreme not to make Promos accessible to them.
For every one of you, raking x-ty times more than them as individuals, there are hundreds of them.
I'd have thought that the Satellite entry does not count as such - the T & C specifically states so - but you are deemed to be a "buy-in" at £55.
I'm just guessing though, so ignore that, & I'll try & find out, or if Sam is monitoring the thread, maybe he'll confirm.
Thanks for the mini-rail last night! I run good.
