Cash buy in events to commence in Season 2!

[AceLosesKing]

With the hesitation of all major groups to take on CBI events until other venues have run it looks like our goal is to soft launch CBI events throughout the greater metro area.

Our goal will be ten - fifteen events by week 6 and as such the GTD Deep Stack event has been scaled down to $5,000 GTD.

I expect more than that by the end of the season but we will see.

By Season 3, hopefully the groups will have overcome their hesitation and we may be hitting 60 events per week by halfway through season 3.

Garth, are these venues replacing their freeroll with a CBI event, or having a 2nd night? Or a mix of both??

Whats the perspective of CBI's from a rural/regional perspective, in the case of my region is there a venue that will be paticipating or are Regional Op still working on it.

I have no idea what question you are trying to ask in the first part of the sentence GD.

Buy all regional areas will have a game, and yes Riverland may look to have one possibly two CBI events per week initially.

It could be my imagination, but I think we were missing a blind level tonight, and the antes kicked in 3rd level?

Glad I went to have a look-see, but I really felt the blind structure was too aggressive - I'm likely biased: I got my initial 2k up to 7.5 by 1st break, but only managed to pick up a round of blinds in the next 25 min, which left my 14k looking pretty small, and went the table went 6 handed, I got severely short stacked. Missed one opp for a good pot when I lay down A7o on the button, but 3 limpers convinced me I'd get too many callers.

I think I'll give it 1 more shot to try push/fold poker, but I can't see any way to play, considered post-flop poker with such aggressive structures - which is fine, but I was hoping for more time to make plays.

Enjoyable evening, but I'm thinking its too much of a crap-shoot for me.

edit: I'd be willing to pay more "table hire" for more time to use that extra stack, and from the talk around the table when I left, I think there would be a very receptive audience for that.
