Dusk Till Dawn - April £500 Deepstack 8 Max £150,000 GTD *New and Improved*

This sounds incredibly sexy.

Sounds as sexy as Pickens haircut looks.  Tidy.

I don't know where to start with this. But I think a trip to specsavers might be advisable for DimTim7585765.

Have to agree with HairBear though.

Brilliant!! Not certain I'll play because £550 is a big chunk but far more likely than before.

Would you consider 8 handed tables for the lower buy in events? I've absolutely hated the recent change to 10 handed in some comps but can fully understand the reasoning.

Obviously 8 handed means an additional 25% to your dealer costs but does the comp finish quicker being short handed?

Personally I'd be happy paying an additional amount on the reg fee if it meant being more comfortable at the table. The super 50 reload for example I'd happily pay £15 instead of £10 to go 8 handed particularly as there's the option to reload and effectively make it a £150 + £15.

I don't understand the difference between starting at 50 / 100 with a 25k stack, and starting at 100 / 200 with a 50k stack.

I mean I'm sure there is a difference, I just don't knok what it is.

It was 50-100 with 30k

4 levels are absent from the new structure (the High Rller structure is being used) compared to the most recent deepstack

50-100
75-150
100-200 no ante
250-500

So 4 levels out early on

you get a 50 minute clock and 50,000 chips instead

""you will start with 250 BB's instead of 300, but later you have more BB's as the Cost Per Round (jargon CPR) is a smoother curve and you have a 25% longer clock (50 V 40). Only 30% of our field join in Level 1 with 300 BB, hopefully these changes will mean more players join earlier" From Simon Trumper

Yes yes. I understand the differences between this and the previous comp, and I think they are an improvement.

Mine was more of a stand-alone question.

Average stack is much bigger in terms of blinds for longer.
Starting at 50/100 and playing 75/150, 100/200, 100/200/25  how many exits would you expect? Even if 15% go that still leaves an average stack at 29400.

We are actually experimenting with 8 handed for the next 2 weeks in ALL DTD comps but just NOT making a fuss about it, as its probably not sustainable and subject to players numbers, even the XXL 15 next Monday and Tuesday it planned to be 8 handed.

This sounds incredibly sexy.

I'm sure I wrote a blog about this!!!!

I think this is the only live comp that has antes from the first level. I like this.

In this case bringing antes in at level 1 makes a difference.

But in general more starting chips = better. Apparently. No doubt in 5 years time 100,000 starting chips will be considered short stacked. Long gone are the days when the deepstack started with 10,000.

And good! 4 people are attracted to play because of the chips, imagine how many others are too?
