Whats everyones thoughts on freeplay? i often find we dont get many runners and doesnt really attract any new players which was the main intention of it, i reckon we should change for a heads up tourney or a standard $3.30 freezeout that way more ppl, may play and still cheap
I am only speaking for myself here Johnny but I find that unless someone has paid real money to be in the pot its not proper poker. It stands to reason if you are not going to lose your own money your game will differ, you will take more chances and your hand range will be bigger.
Free play is great to learn but but as soon as you know the basics you need to step up otherwise you will get into bad habits.
It doesn't do it for me. I really don't like it because a lot people play a different game when they have nothing to lose and it's not enjoyable at all. I just cant get motivated for freeplay .
I agree im really not a fan of freeplay as its too much effort and am often playing other games on sky so dont really play properly in them because its not for real money.
I can understand if a few newbies were playing each time but i think we arent really getting any other then maybe 1 last night but only 6 runners was just pointless.
Think we should be doing them every other sunday standard tourneys and possibly 1 or 2 tuesdays a month to keep up interest

Agreed . I would love to see more standard tournaments. They are not often enough to grab any real new interest. Monthly is not enough and because of that i think we struggle to get over a dozen players.
So... would you like freeplay scrapped and just play our normal 2 or would you like a cheap replacement? requests please.
In my opinion the freeplay should go. It clearly doesn't appeal to enough people. I suggest a fortnightly Sunday tournement and a fortnightly midweek knock-out game , that way we get one game a week.
I agree with bedsaddick, fortnightly on sundays 1 5.50/3.30 and main $11 , then every other tuesday knockout or can be different day but tuesday is prob best for me
Do any of ye play Double your money SNGs? They used to be my regular type of game but after blowing my bank roll and an additional deposit I'm gonna switch to cash.Just found myself getting into races far too often and if you go with rubbish cards when the blinds are 100/200 plus then there's nothing you can really do. Started playing Cash (£0.15/0.20) as an alternative which suits me quite well as I'm more than happy to sit around and wait for optimal hands. Just a bit scary the way you can lose all your hard work on one bad call or misread etc etc/

have a set schedule that we'll do throughout the year so everyone knows when to expect a game.
