MultiStack Tournaments

edited July 2016 in Poker Chat

A new "MultiStack" Tournament makes it's debut on Sky Poker at 7.45pm this evening, with a £1,000 Guarantee.

You can buy in for two different amounts.....
 
For £10 + £1 you get 2,000 starting chips.

For £20 + £2 you get 5,000 starting chips.

When entering, you will be presented with a Menu, where the default is 2,000 chips for £10 +£1.
 
If you prefer 5,000 chips for £20 + £2, click the alternative Option.

The Tournament Lobby for tonight's MultiStack Tournament is HERE

This is a TRIAL, to gauge reaction & popularity. It may continue for a while, dependent upon popularity. Other price points (say, £20 + £2 & 50 + £5) may be trialled in due course, too.

Constructive feedback most welcome.

Enjoy.

    Beyond my Bankroll so will not be entering.

    I did quite enjoy the dynamic of the multi-stack FR that were based on qualifying days played the previous week but this is a different thought process on whether you pay cash to enter or not.

    With the extra value in chips for your 2nd £10 I am not sure of the point in entering for the lower amount?

    I would have thought if your bankroll limit is £10 then you are better off entering comps with a level playing field, ie a freezout or BH but then I suppose many people enter rebuys/rentries with no intent of doing so. At least your disadvantage v better rolled players is capped.

    Always good to try out new things though, so GL.

    Good idea imo. A lot of players don't mind, or even think about, whether there's equal value in the playing field. This kind of thing, along with multi-entry, is the future of MTTs, or the present depending on which site you play on ;)

    I would imagine that is possible, Mr Wh1te, but I'll ask the question.

    The Suits have confirmed that they have the facility to run these at ANY price points, so yes, it's possible they may trial £1 £2 jobbies.

    I felt the structure was too slow for a 5k starting stack.

    Poker, By Law, used to be a game of equal chance. Some people will be more equal than others.

    I will be raising such issues with the shadow culture secretary, if i can find one lasting more than a week in the job

    I felt the structure was too quick for a 2k starting stack.

    I watched the FT as I was interested to see the points awarded to each player once elimintaed (so I could see what % of players bought in for 2k/5k).

    All players were awarded 10 poker points. I'm assuming this is just a mistake awarding correct points? (one which cannot be rectified?) Or did anyone buying in for £20+2 get awarded 20 points?

    That does not sound right to me, but I've asked the question, & I'll let you know. For £20, a player should get 20 points, & I'd be surprised if they did not.

    A week is quite good by current standards - the Shadow Education Secretary, Pat Glass MP, lasted exactly 2 days.

    FTR... I paid £20 +rake for a 5K stack. On exit, I got this message...

     MAXALLY has finished 4th and wins £110, and was awarded 10 Poker Points.

    (possibly a slight brag post too ;) )
