gg, I got very lucky and you outplayed me at the begginning, but man one table is just brutal, please lets do 2 next time. Also, I really don't believe that you play me on ftp, and if you have before its def not a regular occurance.

GOG is in my top 15, I ain't betting on this match

on another topic:

I feel like the 300 bb structure is actually kind of bad for this type of tournament. We should consider reworking the format in the future?

300 bb play is a lot different than 200 bb play, and a lot more about small long term edges- which doesn't really come into play as much in a best of 3 match. The best of X is nice even though it doesn't increase the good players edge by a lot, its still a good idea. I think 200 bb play would go a LOT quicker and create more action, as well as being more like the HU games we are accustomed to.

Does anyone else think that a best of 5 a 200 bb fixed blinds freezeout would be a much better structure?
