Hey guys
I really hate to say something negative about 32Red as they are my favorite place to play, but I must express my disappointment about the $20k tourney they are running to celebrate their CM Awards, which were well-deserved BTW.
It's great that the entry is free. No complaints about that part.
My problem is that there is 999 continues.
What this essentially means is that high rollers or those with huge bankrolls can just basically 'buy' the top prizes. In other words, the members here like myself who support 32Red consistently, but don't have big wallets, have zero chance. I'm sure someone could do the math, but I reckon the chances of winning on one entry only would be very close to none.
The other issue is that all prizes except the top prize are in bonus money with a 30xWR. I believe, and have always believed, that if real money is being used to enter then the prizes should also be real money - but thats just my opinion. I can almost guarantee that nobody who hasn't spent at least some real money on continues will win a prize anyway, so the argument of having bonus money as prizes because it is a free tourney doesn't wash IMO.
I know that many other casinos run their tourneys like this, but I just thought that 32Red would place themselves above the pack as they usually do when it comes to these events. Maybe I have been too spoilt.....maybe I expect too much.
A better way to run these things would be to have 2 tourneys - one with a smaller prize pool e.g. $5k and the other with the $15k. The smaller one could be a 'one shot' tourney with all prizes as bonuses...I don't see anyone having a problem with that. The larger one could have slightly higher continue costs/rebuys - let's face it, someone who it happy to continue 20 times @$10 is hardly going to baulk at $12 or even $15. The extra would go to cover any cost created by the smaller tourney.
At least this way, everyone gets a real chance to win.
The way it is at present, it isn't even worth playing the free entry.
Sorry Pat & Co, but I hope you accept the criticism as constructive and not a sleight against your operation.
I just hope you can find a way to accommodate the 'low rollers' too, as we are all supporting your business too and I'm sure others, like me, are continually disappointed by these big tourneys that give us no chance to win a big prize.
