I have been looking for a poker tournament in Singapore for such a long time and have to admit my feelings here are mixed. Great that there is one but from what I can see this tournament structure isn't anywhere near good. The amount for buy-in and the fact that you are only given 10k chip starting stack with 50bb kick off is extremely low compared to what it potentially could be. After all this is supposed to be a multiday event. I also do see this as a must on the casino side because of the limited space available and the need to get cash games running Asap as well as any locals having to pay levy over multiple days. Maybe the buy-in should be significantly reduced if poker play is restricted. Also seems a high buy in amount for a card room with limited experience in hosting events. |
