Like the idea of DTD ticket tourneys.

Can you say a little more how it will work live?

Can we, for example, save several $120's and buy in to a Deepstack? Just making up the rest when we arrive?

Or will it be used with specific tourneys which have this buy in, such as the Grand Prix.

i spoke to DTD about this for you and the reply was as follows

"At the minute there is no part payment with these tickets they are for events of the same value only.

As it stands these tickets generated will be for the Grand Prix Million but as more tickets are generated more tournaments will be introduced.

Watch this space."

More tournaments with a significant amount of the prizepool diverted into seats for another game?

The distribution of the pot gets skewed by this. My instinct says it's not a good thing for the players,  maybe someone can make the opposite case?

Hi David

Currently on partypoker (and most other poker sites) you can not get these size guarantees for the buy in's we are offering and therefore we do not see this as taking from the prizepool instead we are increasing (doubling) current prizepools on partypoker and including the seats to events. Without adding the attraction of these seats we wouldn't be sure we'd hit the cash guarantees (or at least it would attract different players and not DTD players which is who these tournaments are for).

We are also allowing tickets won to be used for ANY future events either online or live so players who win tickets are now at an advantage over the current satellite rules.

Thanks Nicola

Yeah i don't feel it's an issue. What would be the arguments that it's a bad thing for players?

And yeah, it's only relevant if there isn't overlay.

You won't play if you don't intend to play at DTD anyway. So if it's money you were spending in the first place it's not really coming out of the poker economy or anything like that.

It's incredibly ambitious yet again by DTD to try to hit these guarantees when the pool is (i presume) going to be made of of largely UK players only.

Really hope it works out as I love this idea from a selfish perspective.

The fact that these are for any DTD event eases the situation and I appreciate that DTD guarantees prize pools.

The indication earlier ITT was that the tickets were specifically for the Grand Prix
