Las Vegas Freeroll

Thoich

For me, the stucture of the VLV freeroll seems a bit slow. This could cause a bit of an issue, especially if there are a number of away stacks as there often are in freeroll events.

Being on a table with 2-3 away stacks with 2000 chips at 10/20 really wouldn't be much fun. I think starting at 25/50, and/or quicker levels, around 5-7 mins would help to fix this, while still giving a decent advantage to the players that bagged themselves top starting stacks.

Also with the amount of chips in play, it looks like it is going to take 5+ hours to get HU, which seems excessive.

Obviously I'm not expecting a change to be made just because one person is raising issues, but I would be interested to hear other players opinions.

Never mind that, who won the UKOPS Speed Bounty Hunter last night, any idea?

As to your suggestion, Sky a Poker will certainly listen to feedback, and, if they agree, will look again at the structures in the rest of these Second Chance Freerolls. I think there are 4 more of them still to come.

Well I didn't want to brag, but seeing as you brought it up... Thanks The poker gods were smiling on me for sure, couldn't lose a flip to save my life! or a 30/70 for that matter

And yes, this thread might have a bit more value after the VLV freeroll tonight, hopefully I am wrong and everything will be fine!

Binks one mtt thinks he can tell sky how to structure the rest of them seriously though be interesting to see how it plays out, the levels do seem a bit excessive, personally would like to see it on a sunday night, at risk of massively generalising the sky population i would imagine more people would be available to play it, with saturday night commitments being quite common could be completely wrong though, i'd be interested to see what others think.

I just don't like having over 30BBs. Makes me uncomfortable.

Completely disagree with the OP.  In my opinion the blind levels should be 12-15 minutes.

Why does 5 hours seem excessive? The top prize is £3.5k that's double a standard main win which takes about 5 and a half hours
