blonde poker forum

Broadway festival starts on Mon 19th of Sept.  I am trying to see if there is any interest in orgainising/participating in an online satellite for either the £300 DC on Wed 19th or the £500 FO on the 20th.  Thinking in terms of a £30 or £50 FO satellite.  If you would be interested and have any ideas on buy-in amount, hosting site etc. please reply.

M3Boy has organised the tourney for Thursday 13th at 20:00 on Poker Heaven (19:00 GMT shown as start time).  Details below.


Nice structure with 4000 starting chips, 20 min clock, and levels starting at 10/20.

I should also point out that this satellite has not been organised by the Broadway casino, nor are they associated with it in any way. It was organised independently to cater for people who couldn't make the live satellites or those who preferred to play a cheaper FO tourney (rather than a live RB).

I for one would be interested, perhaps blonde could host? (you would have to ask Kev)

blonde are currently setting this up. We just need Final Approval from The Broadway, & we'll be up & running.

me me me me me

Nobody tells me anything. (Thank god)

put me down (for the sats that is)!

Ill be in deffo too!!

more dead money great

shall we make it a network wide satt? so it can attract more runners hence more seats

ill play one for the wed.

Good idea  :)up

if blonde ran $110 + $11 freezeout sats for the £500 broadway comp, with 1 seat for every 10 players, would we get plenty of takers ?

I would play

network wide kev m8, or i dont think you will get the runners, network wide and we could make these side event sats a regular occurance.

I'd play one for the £300, but would far prefer network-wide. Too many sharks on here  ;flushy;

Sounds fine but I would hope we would get a decent structure for that ie. 4k chips and 20 min clock. 

Unless there is a lot of interest I would suggest that Blonde only run a satellite for one event to maximise the number of runners.  If the guys at the Broadway are interested in promoting the satellite it would be worth asking them to hand out some flyers for the event.  I know from speaking to a few people on Friday night  that there a quite a few regulars who would be interested in playing an online satellite.  If a satellite is definitely going ahead it might be worth having a poll to see what peoples preferences are.

I doubt you'd get many runners tbh, maybe a $50 rebuy?

Good news guys.

There will be 2 online satelites for the Broadway fessie for 2 different events.

One being on Blonde (organised by Richard) and one elsewhere (organised by me)

I would assume these to be for the £500 and the £300 events.

Once Blonde have formally announced which they are going to run, I will announce where the other Satelite will take place and how to enter.

So if anyone frequents the Broadway, it would be good if you could spread the word.

More details soon

I am trying to set up a satelite for the £300.

Should post details of it later today

good work paul.

Sorry for the delay.

Just waiting for the word, but it looks like a $50 f/o with a decent structure.

One seat guaranteed, but am pushing for two.

Will post details as soon as I know

Any news on this?

It is 99% certain yes .

But still waiting for official word

oxymoron

 ;popcorn;

Any news about the online satellites? I compromised my Saturday night (her indoors not happy) to go and play the £25R/B sat for the £500 DCF. I was somewhat amazed to find a deathly quiet Casino, at 7:50 the cardroom mgr came and gave me my money back saying I was the only entry  :dontask:

The cardroom guy went onto say that he is sure that next week people will be moaning that there not enough Sat's, he predicted £100 single card turn overs will the most popular way to get a seat?

For some reason, and I'm not sure why, but Saturday nights in the Brum area have always struggled to get numbers - satellite or not. Maybe people leave this as their 'social' night and get back to the felt on Sunday?
Having said that, the Wednesday night sats they've been running have also been a low turnout too. I would imagine though that the super sat for the main event on Fri 21st will go down well, especially with 10 seats guaranteed

Problem is they are not running the type of satellites people want to play.  Saturday nights are always quiet and not many people want to play a satellite that is only going to make 1 or 2 seats when the cost is likely to be £100 + for a £25 RB.  They were running a £15 RB on Saturdays which might have attracted more runners if it was a satellite.  Maybe they should have asked they players (and not just a selected few) what they wanted to play before the arranged the satellites.  The Broadway have always been very resistant to running lower entry tournaments but IMO people won't spend as much on a satellite as they would on their normal Friday night RB because at least if they are spending £120 they have a chance to win some money.  A £50 FO or a £10 RB would have been a better bet.

When I mentioned the possibility of having online Satellites last week the cardroom manager looked at me like I was mad.  I tried to explain that by hosting online satellites they would get more entries for the festival (surely very important due to the volume of feativals now) and raise the profile of the Casino by encouraging players from further afield to try and qualify.  They already have a linkup with Virgin so why not try and arrange something with then ?  It's not like hosting an online satellite would affect the turnout for the live satellites. 

It says a lot that we the players are having to arrange it among ourselves.

Sorry all, the powers to be are dragging their heels somewhat.

I have chased them today and am expecting a reply. As soon as I know, I will post details

But I have requested this Thursday, a $50 f/o with good structure.

Just waiting for the official word .

Paul, afraid I'm another that already has a pokerheaven account, just haven't used it since a BPO satellite yonks back.
Will I be able to play? If yes I will re-install the software and find my pin number.

PM sent

BUMP

 ;spam;           rotflmfao

any freerolls ??

Lol I couldnt comment as THAT would be spam, but,,,,,,,,,,,, funny you should mention it

LMAO

OK, getting worried now. Only one person registered.

This has a guarantee of one seat - and only need 5 people to start the comp.

Online Sat time is THIS THURSDAY at 8PM (GMT) - which is 9PM our time.

You WILL need the password from me in order to register, so please do not leave it too late.

Hi Paul,
          will it be a direct buy in or cash ?

as I said I cant make the tourney, but would happily play the sat if it was cash!


...just to add its important we support this idea,and maybe if the first one or two were cash ,that would help it get off the ground.

I thought long and hard weather to give cash or a seat, and settled on a seat - bought by Poker Heaven.

It is a satelite for a seat so I thought this was the best way to go.

These take ALOT more organising that I thought

Sherlock.

lol

Ok Richard, there was me thinking it would be a 10 minute jobbie - How wrong could I have been!!

Hopefully worth it though. Have had a few more requesting the password, so thats good. Really do not want a shortfall, bad enough I cant play in it WITHOUT adding money to it as well :(

LAST CHANCE TO ENTER!!

SAT KICKS OFF LATER TODAY AT 7PM (GMT) WHICH IS 8PM OUR TIME

Paul

just realised another slight hic up for some is that the Virgin team challenge is on Virgin tonight...and you cant play Heaven at the same time can you ??

Wasnt aware of that one :(

Oh well, hopefully it will still be ok, and someone will win a cheap seat - as it only needs 5 to start!

Sorry Paul i'm on afternoons this week, so no good for me.

OK Everyone.

I will not be on the PC from now until the start of the Satelite.

So if any of you want to play it, the password is BRUM

(If you do download, please down load from my site) Thanks

how many runners did it finally get, and who won the seat?

cancelled

Did I miss it?
