I notice on the EuropeanPokerTour website and on the PokerinEurope schedule there are no dates and venues for the EPT season 3. Will the tour have similar dates and venues as season2? Anyone know what the score is?

I'd just keep checking the website, i would guess that it would be a similar schedule to last season starting in Barcelona later in the year - September. They are probably putting together a schedule that clashes as little as possible with other worldwide events to try and get as many runners as possible.

Last year they listed the schedule for season 2 in August.

Do you play the Pokerstars satallites to these events Matt? 

They are still finalising the sched for season 3. Reckon there could be an additional venue - certainly they have surveyed last season's players for opinions on current venues and suggestions for new ones

just in case you hadn't seen it yet:

think i might have a go at the sats on pokerstars when they begin!

any ideas as to when the sats will start for the ept? i would guess after the WSOP but anyone know for sure?

They've just asked for dealers/td' s and supervisors on THM site so i'm guessing it
will be soon, but I heard a rumour that the Vic in london might not be a venue for the
next lot

Pretty much a given i thought.

i emailed John Duthie a few weeks ago about this as we need to prepare for the DTD Tour, he email me back with a provisional schedule, if you want i can post it.

it includes 2 new venues 'tba'

yeah... post it up

??? it's 7 posts up

Of course it is  :D

lol so it is.

the one i have from John contains 2 'tba' destinations so whether that is 2 added EPT events im not sure!

sorry i didn't see that, im a nightmare for reading threads carefully, just ask pokergirl ;)

for anyone whos is interested and not in vegas for the next month or so, the EPT Season 3 Barcalona Satelites begin on Pokerstars on monday 10th July!

definately going to have a crack at these, would love to play in a big buyin tourny! anyone else gonna have a go?

I'll be trying via the crypto route. Easy to beat. Failing that, I'll try stars too.

Does Tribeca run EPT sats? Would be nice to have blonde send me to the EPT ;)

what is the cryto route? have they started yet?

Littlewoods is where I qualified for Deauville for season 2, had I not mentioned that before? ;) Cryptologic - interpoker, littlewoods, erm, some others. I don't think they have started their satellites yet however.

They where sixpak tourneys (6 man tables) and I only played three. A 33 euro tournament, 44 runners, 6 seats. Chip lead all the way until I bubbled in 7th. I played the next night, 33 euros, and I chip lead all the way, and won a seat into the 333 euro qualifier, which I won one of the 2 available seats.

So for me, those tourneys are real value.

might have a crack at them to!

i thought that the EPT sats were exclusive to stars?!? i must have thought wrong

The EPT is sponsored by stars but anyone and his dog can offer a satellite to any tournament they please. You could run one in your house if you felt like it. All you are doing is stumping up the entry fee (which comes from the satellite obviously).

Stars reserve the right to be able to offer their branded clothing to any unsponsored player however.

a few of the sites on the crypto network do that LCQ thing where the winner gets a 15k package and can choose which event to enter. with there usually being a choice between some WPT, EPT and WSOP events. Great idea i feel

is that what you won mikkyT?

They had an actual satellite to the EPT Deauville event.
