Sahara Tournament?

Bav, you must have some ill will towards AVP. There is no where in my post did I mention anything about the way tourney details are listed on any site. I'm not sure why you'd bring it up as sort of an indirect attack against me or whatever your post was meant to do.

Onto the facts...


The thing is, it's not mine, or AVP's fault that some casinos give an "optional" add on that is basically a must take, or even a rebuy that is a may take. The information is streamlined as best as possible. But yet people keep coming down on AVP for listing it when it's the card rooms that word it and present it that way in reality. If it's not required, it is in fact listed as optional in the Details section of every tournament there.

Woawoawoa... back up a step.

I said I hate the way AVP displays the info.

That's it. That's all I said.

I LOVE AVP. It puts a lot of great info into an easy-to-access package. But I keep reading on 2+2, over and over, how Sahara has a 33% vig and how awful that is. When someone basically takes the list of tourneys and sorts by vig to weed out the really awful ones, Sahara gets unfairly punished.

I didn't instantly read something posted by Photoc and think "Ha! I'm gonna get that bastard." I read the post you were quoting and thought "ahah! I know where that misleading bit of info likely came from" and responded.

Mine was a post saying "Sahara's vig isn't so bad" not "AVP sucks".

And if it's true "people keep coming down on AVP", and "people" is "people in addition to bav", then accept it as constructive criticism. Fix it if you are convinced it should be fixed, ignore it if you wish but don't expect the commentary to stop.

Thicken thy skin, my friend. Running any service used by the public you're gonna get "feedback" you don't like. If you look for things to be pissed off about, you'll find 'em in everything you read. Sorry I tweaked a nerve.

People need to realize that tournaments cost relatively the same no matter what the buy-in. If you want to play some small buy-in events you are going to pay a lot of juice. In the past tournaments existed to bring people into the room and the casino was willing to lose a little bit running them. With the growth of tournament poker (and the number of tournament only players) casinos have started trying to make money on their tournaments.
