DTD Grand Prix update

Submitted by: TightEnd on Tue, 16/08/2011 - 9:21am
Here are the results for Mondays live and online flights.

Club produced 12 and online 14.

This gives us a total of 154 and a projected total of 275.

The overlay has decreased to €112,500

Some points to consider...

Based on 275 players first prize will be approx €60,000, to put this in perspective this is equivalent to a 1200 - 1 return ! Even if you have 3 entries it will be 400 - 1. If you play a £1000 comp with 150 players you will get a return of 50 -1, even our £300 Deepstack is " only " 100 -1 .

Some players have been saying they only want to have 1 or 2 entries as min cash is €75, our payout structure ladders from 1.5 increasing in 0.5 increments to 19th then top 18 get %ages, by the time 10 - 15% of the fiield are out min payout will already be €125.

Had we hit the guarantee, you would have had to beaten 499 players to get a huge return, now it will be far less and the payout increments will increase quicker.

And finally, one player wriote to me asking if he didn't turn up for Day 2 where would he finish. As we are using our Deeptack structure 15,000 chips 45 min clock i know we have 17% of the field after 12 levels, i have calculated a dead stack would blind away by level 10 when approx 70% of the field will be out, even with 500 players i would expect 150th to pay €500 so obvioulsy now that will be even more. I would prefer not to have too many dead stacks but if you genuinely can't make it, it is still worth investing €120 for a guaranteed return, those that can get here, even if you are travelling 200 miles it is worth it for a shot at €60,000 and the ones that come will have less players to beat.

Please, if you agree with the points above spread the word and help me reduce the guarantee to a respectable €50,000.

Cheers
