It’s always the most expensive action, sometimes there’s 1-2-3 blind bids. I don’t recall seeing 4 but it’s possible-but rare.

Any ways yes you get first choice or which ever blind bid you buy ie 2nd or 3rd, so ur laying a big price for the pick. Usually the first 2 are the same price and the 3rd is discounted a bit as is the case here. Kinda depends on the field.
Rum Runner tourney in Vegas always does a Calcutta, as I recall the first 2 are blind there and used to be $5000 each (could be more now-I’m referring to 10-12 years ago). I watched a guy buy the first 2 he paid the $10K. SVB was one of them and can’t recall the other player. He layed such a big price he got his $ back plus just a little-if SVB and his other pic didn’t finish both in top 3 he would have lost $(as I recall, was a bad bet) SVB won.
I did a terrible job of explaining the Rum Runner story, sorry. But the point is, the blind bids are THAT strong.
I just want over the sheet for Buff’s this week with a champion player for the last 30 minutes-we bet on who goes farther between similar priced players. Just friendly sweat bets between us. We decided the best value on the sheet overall considering price (ofc the 3 in the blinds are huge favorites) but value bet is Justin Hall for $7000. For $7000 he’s undervalued and a great bet.
Anyways that’s a bit about Calcutta and how they create fun, action, and are good for this format of pool. Not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s cool. I love them
Best
Fatboy <———would have went for 12¢ on that sheet
Wow, I’ve never seen that in a pool Calcutta - thx for the heads up. That’s pretty cool. Fun action!Mhet Vergara's tournaments in NYC have recently been going to 6+ blind bids and the field sizes are under 40 people
He’s a heckuva one pocket player and an astute gambler, that’s who he is.
Good question... Lol, he's a beast bro! If he was practiced up and had his stamina ready, he definitely has the skills. When he moved to Charleston about 10 yr ago, he brought the entire towns' handicap up a ball or so just by being here and us witnessing and playing against him. The other best thing about Bird is how cool and level headed he is to us bangers, he will work with you and is patient and open with his knowledge.
Whereas last night they said it would be at 10 am CDT today, and the website even had a countdown to 10 am.
Cory looks like he’s looking for a duel.
The only thing consistent with these is the horrible lack of coherent scheduling. Nothing starts at any advertised time, times are specified in GMT if at all, you have to find random places on the internet between various social platforms to learn anything at all.
Fedor always grinds man, like he fights for every ball.
This event is always wild. Then got races to 5 on the loser's side too which usually ends up causing delays.
