Royal Flush Poker

www.poker.ladbrokes.com – Sometimes in live events, the prize money payout structure can heavily favour first place, and while you might expect a bigger jump in prize money the closer the placings get to first, the difference can often be surprising.

Perhaps this is why players have taken to making deals when there are not many left in a tournament. Personally it is my suspicion that this is partly why deals are so often made, but there are other reasons too. Many players feel that once the blinds become very big and the play is shorthanded, there is no room to make any plays and it is a simple case of shoving or folding. Despite the fact that the elevated blinds mean more aggressive plays being made, there is still plenty of skill in playing heads up and winning in this situation. The basic elements of the game are still the same after all, as you are attempting to get your chips in with the best hand. With far more bluffs being made, in some ways, this is easier to do than usual.

In some ways I agree that payout structures should pay well for first and second places. On the other hand though, there is so much hard work involved in even getting to a final table out of hundreds of people, that this should be well rewarded too. Deals in general are not so much of a bad thing if the game continues after the money side of things has been discussed, but to leave the game unfinished and not play heads up goes against the spirit of the game I feel.
