Lately its been getting under my skin that some players at the final table should have no buisness being there.It seems certain people have assigned seats during the Tuesday and especially Thursday night leagues. I know that the best players are not always going to be at the final table, but when you start at a table with all friends that are "learning" the game someone is bound to get lucky and make the final table. Lets face it the whole table isnt going to bust out.
While at the other tables people are battling to make the final table cut.
What to do about this?
If you tell everyone that seating is random and the friends don't get to sit with each other will they not show up? We can't have that.
I witnessed a table 1 player at the final table with 50k in chips call them all of within 4 hands.
The calling hands were:
(note, pots were raised big before the calls)
K2 suited
Q8 off suit
33 with all overs on the board
Explain how this player obtained 50k in chips
I know Jim doesnt want to lose players because they can't sit together but I also know its getting to a lot of others that ONE table has assigned seating.
Thats my rant and I'm sticking to it.

I agree. I don't care that they sit together. It does effect the overall competition for everyone else. That is what makes it wrong.
ReplyDeleteGood point. Perhaps the seat cards can be handed out randomly by the "tournament director" so people can't fish for their favorite seat/table.
ReplyDeleteFriends can always catch-up with each other at the breaks or use their "separation anxiety" as an incentive to reach the final table.
