The Monthly £300 event will be the next live update happening this weekend complete with Jen and I bringing all those little tricky treats of info for you. The tournament starts on Saturday night, see you there!

Anyone going?

Yep

Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

in the £300... will be interesting to see the numbers with the Star City big one on this weekend as well

star city for me. More value

Thought Jen was playing Star city?

Is now... ;)

nicky, has gone to buy him, me and rooks in at the brighton casino and been told that

a) you cant buy other people i, just yourself

then he managed to overturn that decision, then

b) you must be a member of the casino to be bought in.

WTF! do they want players playing or not?
only 7 seats left aswell FML

nicky's managed to sort it weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Does the DTD £300 have a £25K guarantee this weekend?

Is it the Grosvenor Grand Prix this weekend too?

Yes, the guarantee is being "held", I was told by Mother Hen.

Yup, but the numbers are stunningly low compared to normal, I'm led to believe.

A great shame - that was - maybe still is - the best comp on the Calendar, 10k chips, Pot-Limit, good clock & structure.

How many?

i cant see the guarentee not being made anyway,i think it has always made 25k or more.
star city starts in the afternoon so could get some early bust outs playing dtd too.

83 people is the line, should do it...

I heard 50, which I don't believe for a second, but I just have the feeling that it's relatively low this year, Blue Square have been adding "last-minute" Qualifiers daily.

I hope they get a good field, I really do, & then revert next year to the original format.

maybe they should just make it a £500 fo, credit crunch, people arent gonna travel to play a sat to get in.

play star city if bust out before 9pm, go to dtd imo

He claimed his flirtatious manor with the manager did the business, i don't quite see that myself....

I now gather from Lord Raab that the numbers are indeed very low, he doubts it will make 70, though he will let me know for deffo tomorrow.

Now that is SERIOUS value - 70-ish runners, & £25,000 added! What's that, about £350 per runner? Wow! That can't be right......but it is, unless my maths has gone comlpetely to pot.

Good Luck all the lucky buggers playing that beauty!

something has gone seriously wrong with the promo of it though

Luton ran no, zero, live sats to it (or perhaps they were available but got no runners) whereas in years gone past we'd send 25 runners there

no idea if its down to the individual clubs or Grosvenor itself, but marketing it on a shoe string in tough economic times and a very competitive environment (multiple mid range poker comps each weekend these days ) has not been a success...except for those who qualified (online primarily?) of course!

By those calculations, the players could all turn up, chop it and get the buy in for the DTD 300 tucked up LOL

So many good events all scheduled for the same weekend ... ffs when will people start working together instead of blindly competing and diluting fields for such quality events .. I mean, Birmingham, Walsall, and DTD ... its not as if they are at different ends of the country, madness !!

........because none of the live poker providers speak to each other..nuts, completely nuts

They tried something different, Live Sats all on the same night, etc, & it did not pan out quite as expected, that's all, I think.

I applaud their initaitive in trying to make it better, & more affordable, but it just did not work on this occasion. It's good that they tried though, & the added value remains on the Table.

I'm sure it will eventually re-invent itself in a better format.

of course. the added value is great. Lets hope the powers that be in Grosvenor perservere for 2009 and make changes where necessary to restore it to former glories


the years I played it, it was a 30 min queue to get in the building and the event was done over two flights of players!

those were the days

Or maybe people are actually saying they don't want the prizepools raked, and are standing up to it.

Possibly. I'd wager that the majority of players didn't realise/didn't care though.

I know, It was just wishful thinking, but it may have effected a few possible attendees

Also taking place this weekend.....The W.W.P.A    Birthday Cup   with added prizemoney.

Live updates available?

There will a special prize for anyone who can guess the colour of my hoodie on the DTD Updates...

Is that a rub-down about LeKnave's navigational skills?

;)
