"Celebrity Poker Showdown: Only one of these people is a comedian..." |
...and it ain't Norm McDonald, who spent most of the night sitting around, counting his chips, counting everyone else's chips, double-checking the number of chips in the pot as a prerequisite to making a triple-check, and then sitting around some more while counting his chips. Obsessive-compulsive much, Norm?Imagine the night without Michael Ian Black and his paper partner. The first-hand washout and two hours of light dozing alternating with switches to the NBA finals for a grand total of two hours of deep coma, much like the Lakers offense. As for the first-hand washout -- how long did he say he'd been playing? Two weeks? Two minutes? One hand? Gah. Someone circulate his picture to the pit bosses and ban him from the floor for his own safety. But at the very least, we're on the road to a halfway-lively final table, and I'll take that over Norm And The Coma Kids. (By the way, he's still counting his chips. Zero, zero, zero...)

3. "RE: tournament poker info needed" |
I'm guessing the crawl across the desk was because no other game had dragged on long enough to require the 5k/10k increase: everyone else managed to settle a winner before that point. They were basically forcing money into the pot as fast as they could. Even with the two hours of coverage, we probably missed a bunch of little folds and blind claims at the 3k/5k level -- maybe an extra half-hour of go-nowhere play?

I just found these poker discussions - excellent!Here's the info on the blinds...from www.learn-texas-holdem.com "The reason the blinds keep increasing in tournament play is so that the tourney doesn't last for ever. It forces people to play. If the blinds remained at the same level through out the whole of the tournament then it would be a much more conservative game and it might go on indefinitely, especially if there are tons of entrants like there are in the World Series of Poker. Often times what happens at the end of both limit and no limit tournaments is that you have the two finalists playing almost every hand. The reason is because the blind size is so large you can't afford to just fold. It eats you up. To answer your other questions about how large the blinds are and when they increase, that depends on the tournament. Sometimes they just double every certain amount of hands (for example every 10 or 20 hands) or after a certain amount of time, like an hour or two. You could start out at 25/50 and then go to 100/200, 200/400, 400/800, 800/1600, etc. When the blinds increase based on the amount of hands passed, the tournament gains speed as it progresses since heads up play is much faster then a full table. And like I said above, as the blinds increase the play gets more wild. Lastly, yes both no limit and limit holdem increase the blind amount."
