Contests

Post by BARRY_LAS_VEGAS »

I love the idea of new contests. However I do not like that we have a maximum deal amount to have a chance at winning a prize.

I myself don't mind the limited hands.  Having varying numbers of hands will definitely dictate strategy to a degree.  Different strokes though.  But, with two contests ongoing now with limited hands, one is unlimited.  To tell the truth though, limited or unlimited, it doesn't seem to be making much differrence for me unless WM switches the rules and makes it like golf where the low score wins!

faygo I agree!

 
I agree, too.  With a limited number of hands, everyone would be bailing out of a game with the first nice hit or hits, so I really don't see any benefit to that as compared to having everyone play the same number of hands.

It was going to be more hands, but I set it at 72 so it was par for a round of golf. I doubt we will have any tournaments that short in the future, but who knows.

unlimited hands is fine for people with unlimited time...I personally like the limited number of hands....but more than 72.
