I've already Posted this on Live Poker, where it belongs, but it deserves a wider audience, so I've stuck it up on this Board, too.

By the way, "Unibet" are a very big Nordic gaming outfit, in case you wondered. And, subject to Mr Raab & Unibet's approval, In Poker will cover that £2,500 jobbie.

Good stuff.

And I'd quite fancy trying some of those SNG's at The Vic, at £200 or £300 a time, if only I knew I could get a game. I've not played there for years, & I'd love to, as I'm in London 4 or 5 nights a week these days, but they don't exactly hang out the Welcome Mat to starangers. To be fair, they look after the regulars wonderfully - so kudos to The Vic for that.

Anyway, good luck to them with this great initiative, & good Luck Unibet, too - new Sponsors are golden.

wow i want to play these 3, i wonder if they will let me in yet?

Anyone know how much vig on the sngs please?

I think there is more chance of me playing

Pretty sure its 10% . Mr Rabb will be able to help you more on this one. Should be interesting to see how they work out.

Gonna take the week of the 6th off work and play the whole lot hopefully!

weee looking forward to the £100 plo rebuy.

i am gonna try joining nothing legaly stopping me. I was found totaly not guilty.

is there any info on structures/starting stacks etc for the regular weekly comps aswell as the festival?? have just moved to borough so the vic is right on my doorstep now.

no more need to spend on travel/accomodation etc!!


edit: have looked at live poker section and saw someone has already asked the question

Big Shame that unibet are not running as many satellites as they have advertised at....

http://www.unibetopen.com/UO_satellite.html

....tried to play yesterday, and was hoping to do so today, but they have got few running it seems, and on longer cycle.

Dont really understand why, but perhaps catch 22 - (a) dont have runners for satellites so dont run them and (b) advertise the satellites and "impress" the players who want to play them by not running them.....

The juice is as follows:

£100 + £11
£200 + £20
£300 + £25

I will speak to Unibet early next week and find out more about the online sats schedule.

chips and blinds please sir

I will confirm the chips and structures next Tuesday when I'm back at the Vic. As far as I can remember its 3,000/4,000/5,000 chips.

jonathon, can we get the tourney structures aswell plsssss? and im guessing some are 2 dayers?

cheers

First Sit & Go night is tonight, from 9pm. The starting chips are as follows:

£100 + £11 - 3,000 chips
£200 + £20 - 4,000 chips
£300 + £30 - 5,000 chips

The structure will be as follows

25-50
50-100
100-200
150-300
200-400
300-600
400-800
500-1,000
600-1,200
800-1,600

All tournaments are on a 15-minute clock.

I will do. Give me a day or so to get them confirmed. The only one that is a 2 dayer is the £500. The others are 1 day tournaments , with the exception of the Unibet Open, which is a 4 dayer.

The first game to start was a £100 sit and go. All three lists currently have at least 4 names on them, so it looks like there will be a few more games starting this evening. It's been a relatively slow start, but one we hope to build upon. If the interest is there I would like these games to be available every day, but for now, we are committing to running them on Wednesdays.

good luck with this innovation JR, look forward to playing some when i get back, hope they're as soft as at the rio, laughable standard of play

Thanks Jeff. Well done on your PLO result, but commiserations on not gettin the wristwear. Still  a few more events to go, so good luck in the remaining ones you play.

We had three sit & go's yesterday - all £100 ones, but I expect the higher value ones to get going before too long, especially during our forthcoming festival.

Tonight is the first night of the regular £250 freezeout, which is now scheduled every Thursday night between now and the end of August (except during the festival).
