I originally planned on going to Raxx instead because it's the only one I had heard of. Glad I did a google search!I would love to make it out there one day but for now, the furthest I will ever go into long island for pool is Raxx and that's mainly because I have family there. And even getting to Raxx is a long trip as it is.
That's awesome! I pitched that idea to our TD about having the loser stay at the table. I don't see why a player who doesn't win one game should be in the tournament for hours. Let them go home and try again next time! Do you use a certain kind of software that evens out the games? Would you mind sending me any information you have on how they do that?This is now off topic, but...
We do it the opposite. If you lose, you stay on the table and break the next game. Weaker players are out the door pretty quickly because they lose, and lose, and lose...
Yes, if you win you go back to the top of the list and do have to wait. You socialize. You watch matches. You know what you are in for when you choose to play. Then you get called to a table and immediately have to switch on for what is basically a hill-hill game. I think it is a real opportunity to test your game and your mental strength.
Finally, the tournament manager will rearrange the wait list to even out games, so there is no incentive to slow play. By the last few rounds (getting toward the money) everyone will have very close to equal games played.
It's not for everyone though.
I agree that most of the sales are for that reason. I've had a home table many times over the years, and they stay much cleaner with the Taom.
if the tip is delivered on-line and with proper speed what difference does it make how it looks? i've seen a LOT of 'pretty boy stroke' players come and go that couldn't play in crunch time. Allen was self-taught(got help from some greats as well) and could run 100 by the time he was 12-13yrs old. I'll take ugly and effective every time.
