Negreanu: Time is the key

Kid Poker has stated that the key to organising a tournament in which players with particular skill in post-flop play prevails is to ensure that there is time to play before it becomes "a shovefest".

In his blog, Daniel Negreanu said that tournament structure had to be properly planned and cited PokerStars recent competitions as good examples of how it should be done.

He said the recent Heads Up event allowed four levels of play before games began to become "prickly".

The winner of four World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets commented: "The key to offering a heads up tournament where post flop skill prevails is to make sure the structure gives the players enough time to play before it becomes a shovefest."

Negreanu has cashed 30 times in the WSOP and has finished at the final table in 12 events.
