ASK KENNY

SpadeClub wants to make it easy for all SpadeClub members to ask me questions
about anything poker- or SpadeClub-related, therefore, we created AskKenny, a
new addition to my profile page that does just that. With AskKenny, SpadeClub
members can ask me questions about poker play, SpadeClub, or any other general
questions. Some of the more common questions and answers will be posted on my
profile page, so check back often.

Recent Questions and Answers:

If all player agree, can we chop the prize money? If so, how would we go about it? If the players agree to a chop through the chat box, would SpadeClub enforce the chop between the players?

Hi Kenny, I have a question about membership and red, blue tokens. Say I win a red or blue token while being a paying member. Would I still able to use those tokens if my paid membership expires? Thank you Linda

Asked by lindaiscool on Mar 04.

As a Basic member you will keep your tokens but you must be an Exclusive member to use them.

Hiya Kenny, Hoping to get some clarification regarding 'exclusive'membership and/or being a 'founding' member...what benefit do I really have, being an exclusive member, compared to someone with no membership/no founder status?? It seems to me, that every player at SC, is able to participate in all tourneys, this would include 5K, 30K, and various trip tourneys. Players should have to be 'Exclusive' members to register to these tourneys? NO? THX

Asked by montelady81 on Dec 05.

Basic members can only play a few tournaments like the $20, $50, and $75 ALL the rest are for Exclusive members only.

Hey Kenny, I had a general question specific to SpadeClub. I usually stick to the "Harrington on Hold 'Em" method of snap-shoving anything reasonable at an M of <6, which in these structures can happen pretty quick. Since they're freerolls however, I seem to not be getting the fold equity one would expect, and almost never win uncontested. How to adjust? Tighten up and risk getting blinded off or gamble it up earlier in the tournament? Thoughts?

Asked by GoblinGamer on Dec 04.

Since it's hard to get players to fold, especially pre-flop, I prefer to keep the pots small and wait till I have them crushed. I would limp and trap, you'll get action on your hands, so wait them out.

Hi Kenny, In the 10pt point builders, if you "make the money", you get a 4-1 return on your buy-in. But in the 50 pt. point builders, you only get your investment back if you "make the money". Why aren't the 50pt. point builders structured to give players a 4-1 return on the investment?

Asked by PhilGnFla on Dec 01.

In the 50pt point builders we pay 45 spots and in the 10pt point builder we only pay 27 spots so the ratio differs because the point distribution and payout percentages are different.

Any thought at putting together a few big point buy-in cash games (without satelites) to put some of the players that spend the time to building big bankrolls of points a special outlet for their play achievement. Maybe 5k or 10k point buy-ins. HMMM maybe a series of big tourneys with different big point buyins likes a WSOP type thing. Could be promoted and would encourage a little bit of a different quality of play Opps ran out of room youget the idea

Asked by Alpengiest on Nov 18.

We have it where you can do both, play in a satellites or buy-in directly. Take a look at the Bellagio Championship series. The monthly costs 27,000 points.

this is milkyman every tournament is in vegas i was wondering if they can run some tournaments in atlantic city i live in nj and i am married with a 7 month old daughter there is no way my wife is letting me go to vegas lol if you did i would enter them even if i didnt qualify thanks. p.s my name is ken also since we have a cool name maybe you can give me like 50,000 points so i dont have to earn them.lol i am kidding but need them

Asked by milkyman on Nov 17.

Not a bad idea, but because were in Las Vegas it's easier to arrange events here. About the points you can now do a manual reload once per day when you are under 400 total points.
