Full scoop on the 2010 WCPC
Hey all,
I’ve updated my pages and have the full details on the upcoming West Coast Poker Championships at the Edgewater Casino in downtown Vancouver.
This is the first running of this tournament, and while it has many positives, there are some areas for improvement, in my opinion.
The Pluses:
- The blind structure is good and allows for skill to prevail over luck
- The main event is split up into two “day 1′s”
- They’ve managed to convince full tilt pro Mike “The Mouth” Matusow to come down and teach a class in poker!
- There is a reasonable variety of game types and buy-ins
The Minuses:
- Some of the events are on week days in the middle of the day
- The PLO/PLH event seems very specialised
- There are no limit events
I suppose I’m nit picking seeing as I’m not going to play in either of the events listed in the “minuses”, but I credit myself with being a fairly observant guy – I think that these facts may result in some low fields.
I’ve played at every card room in Vancouver and there’s one thing going either as strong as, or stronger than no limit – and it’s limit. In my opinion it wouldn’t have hurt to had another $200-$300 limit event to pick up some of the low-hanging fruit (so to speak).
Anyways, just me chiming in – I’m going to register for the $300 No Limit event now – I’ll post my results when I have them! In the meantime – you guessed it. I’m practicing tourneys on pokerstars.
Cheers,
