Winter Series Festival (feedback and discussion thread)

[Farseer]

Though to open a feedback thread for Winter Series (or for other discussion, as it is now running for few weeks).

Today we had those 10-90 PKOs, few thought about them:

- I am all fine for different bounty/regular prizepools, but 10/90 is meaningless imo. Make it either 0/100 or 25/75. 10% regular prize pool just messes things, especially as prize pool like quite regular at first (until overlay is sucked out, when only coins are left).

- Format is too slow and 166bb deep starting stack for 10-90 6-max PKO. Should be hyper AND / OR shallow starting stack as only bounties matter.

- Horrible experience to play those 10-90 at very tight starting tables. One of those cases where you don't actually want such bad players (at this case playing tight is bad) on your table. Case is similar to satellites late game, you don't want opponents to play bad against you and call you light with bad hands as it destroys your EV but worse since this makes first hour meaningless.

Summa summarum: Banzai Bounties would have been quintillion times better format 😄

Generally series has been quite good, with semiturbo structures. For bounties I would prefer more shallow stacks than for regular MTTs. I also like leaderboard format: it allows me to play like a drunken tilt maniac whale and still go for profit. 

Generally guaranteeds have been very meek, but I guess it isn't so major issue on such low-stake series. I also like thematic weeks with separate leaderboards (week is long time to grind, but doable).

Nice to see some action between UOS serieses.
