Was curious as to if anybody else was following this...UK poker pro Roberto Romanello has come up with a new tournament format called Multi Prize Pool.
Ultimately, it allows people to buy-in to the same tournament (and start with the same number of chips) for different buy-in amounts. The goal of this seems to be to attract more people to play in these tournaments, and it would also allow recreational players with smaller bankrolls to be able to buy-in and sit at the same tables as professionals who are buying in for a much higher buy-in!
The first Multi Prize Pool tourney will be tonight, January 10, at Dusk Till Dawn.
I do have a couple questions about what would happen in some hypothetical payout situations. This tournament format is obviously new and innovative. It will be interesting to see how the first tournament goes.
