I think some people have forgotten what poker is about or meant to be.
Yes winning money is nice but it should be the icing on the cake. Playing poker should be fun and enjoyable. So yes playing day 1 for 9 hrs. Potentially playing Day 2 for 8hrs. Potentially playing Day 3 for 8 or 9 hrs might seem like a ball ache but it isn't. Your talking about 3 days of poker for an £80 outlay. You cant knock that.
I have my own opinions about why this Grand Prix has disappointed DTD in terms of turn out but this is not really the place for that discussion.
My biggest problem is the payout structure, or Lack of it. How on earth can people start a Money Bubble Bursting session without full facts and figures? Unheard of at this level.
We're talking about a $1 000 000 prize pool without a set payout structure.
iv browsed this thread for answers but found none. an unconfirmed report is 66% of todays field paid. todays field is looking to be bigger than tomorrow. so even if it is the same which is a huge doubt that's going to be just under 400 players paid. out of a possible 8k runners?
this is why the payout structure should be available for viewing.
