'Super' Bounty Hunters - doomed to fail?
I was thinking of entering the Super Bounty Hunter at 1-45pm, I'd been looking forward to these since they were announced, but now I've decided not to bother after all.
For a start nobody has registered for it yet even though there are already 21 players (at the time of writing) registered in a regular Bounty Hunter (with the same buy-in) that starts at exactly the same time. However, the main reason I'm not entering is not the lack of entrants, it's the fact that the entry fee, rebuys and add-ons all have a hefty 15% rake lumped on them, £2.00 + 30p each. No thank-you! I doubt these will ever get off the ground with such expensive rake.
Edit
final entry numbers;
1-45pm £2.30 Super Bounty Hunter - 0 entrants (cancelled)
1-45pm £2.30 Bounty Hunter - 41 entrants

Gary,
The whole idea of these, & various other formats being trialled over the coming days, is to gauge reaction, interest, playability, etc.
But here's the thing.....
Everyone KNOWS what the best value Tourneys are, do they not? Yup.
So look out tonight, or tomorrow, for special news on the "Community Comp Comp"......
You ARE going to like that Comp. And you could win Free Entries to it, or them. Several, possibly......
Tomorrow, General Poker Chat. Be there.
