| poker tournament for local high school
Well, I played in a $50 buy in tournament as a fundraiser for a local high school. I guess my expectations were a little high for the running of the tournament, but I was very dissapointed in the way it was run. First off, they were using interlocking chips. Secondly, they had no dealers. Lastly, the blinds were brutal. So we started off with like 490 in chips, with like 7 different colored chips. The blinds were 1-2 to start then went to 2-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-50, 50-100, 100-200, 200-500, 500-1000, and that is when I was knocked out. There was 300 people at this event and there was very few good players and a lot of very, very bad players (just did it for the local high school). IMO, this was the worst run tournament I have ever played in. It might be me, but charity or not,if you are going to have a 300 person tournament, you have to have dealers run the games. When you have someone that doesn't know how to deal, let alone play, it makes the night very long. |
