Tourney games Posted by KymB (VIP) Aug 5 2022 12:44AM Hi everyone. I haven't been on this site for over 3 years. It was nice to see some of my old friends. I noticed that we don't have the 2 or 3 Ticket tourney's any longer. It would be nice so that some of us who are not high rollers can play. Thanks Hi Kym Posted by MAB (moderator) Aug 7 2022 2:01PM Happy you stopped by again. Enjoy the games. We will pass on your inquiry about 2 and 3 tickets tourneys. Most of those went away about 4 years ago when very few players would play them. They wanted a chance to win bigger payouts. Also, 10 years ago a cup of premium caramel coffee at Starbucks was $2. Now it's $5. Unfortunately, the expense to keep the site running has increased by about the same percentage. HMMMM.... Posted by ImDerc (VIP) Aug 9 2022 10:44AM Been playing tourneys off an on for the duration of the time frame you mention MAB, not sure the number of players has anything to do with the cost to enter a tourney. 3 or 4 years ago just as many high value tourneys got cancelled due to lack of participants as lower value tourneys did. Think the probability of enough players showing up for a tourney depends mainly on who is on site or the time of the day. Think to suggest GC increased the average cost of each tourney due to the majority of people wanting bigger payouts is misleading. I can't remember GC asking me what I prefer & doubt anyone else could either; mainly because that was a decision they made without any consultation or consideration of what the players preferred. Jump in the main hall at any given time & pretty sure you'll find the majority of cash tables set are for just a few dollars. So if more players are only willing to bet small amounts there, doesn't it make sense more would play tourneys if the entry price was lower? Anyway, not overly fussed either way & can't believe people are stupid enough to buy a cup of coffee for $5 at Starbucks. Buy a coffee machine for $50 & then make yourself unlimited coffees for under a dollar, lol. hmmm Posted by KymB (VIP) Aug 15 2022 11:59AM wELL STATED!! hi Kim Posted by aussiegirl26 (VIP) Aug 16 2022 8:58AM welcome back,I too remember those days and wish I could just come and hop on a table for a few cheaper games instead of what seams to be millionaires row sometimes ð I understand everyone's opinion, however .... Posted by Pearle (moderator) Aug 17 2022 12:26PM As Mab stated above, "Unfortunately, the expense to keep the site running has increased by about the same percentage." With that said, as prices for EVERYTHING seem to be on the rise, so does the cost of maintaining websites, updating programs and security for all the players fun and safety. While the price to play in some of the games has increased, the percentage that the volunteers receive has stayed the same forever. Remember, you don't have to play in tourneys, you can always play free games in the main hall or you can pick up other games for 1 tix, 2 tix, and up. Have fun!!! That is our main objective. I wish Posted by 221bBakerSt (VIP) Aug 21 2022 1:37AM I wish I could buy gas at $1.89 like 18 months ago. Eggs at $1 a dozen, or even pay a reasonable rent or mortgage. Maybe some of the old timers will throw in a 3 tix match once in a while, like Pearle or Bones. I expect we have to get used to 5 tix at the lowest though. Welcome to the new American leadership. Now Available Posted by Bones (TD) Oct 29 2022 7:56PM 3 and 4 tix games are now available each weekend during the noon hour. Hope all can join! |
