Thanks. Title: Re: Irish Open qualifier tonight in Manchester! Post by: TightEnd on March 19, 2010, 04:57:28 PM Just giving feedback, constructively, but
Irish Open Qualifier £125 + 10 5000 starting chips, 50/100 blinds, 30 min clock for 2 levels then 20 min clock (25 player minimum) is immensely poor value. 50x bb starting stack and a mostly 20 minute clock I doubt the event will run if 25 players required Compare it to the DTD satellite tonight for the same event. Even ignoring the 7 seat guarantee it will be far better value for money with a better structure. Title: Re: Irish Open qualifier tonight in Manchester!

You aren't there for the tournament experience you're just trying to bink a seat. There is no skill involved in trying to bink a single seat out of 25 runners so the quicker it gets done the better. Just a bit of bingo really. Title: Re: Irish Open qualifier tonight in Manchester! Post by: acc2020 on March 19, 2010, 05:48:54 PM I predict this event will be cancelled and am still sticking to under 10 runners in the main event.Hope i'm wrong.
Title: Re: Irish Open qualifier tonight in Manchester! Post by: dik9 on March 19, 2010, 09:27:07 PM A guaranteed seat providing you hit 25 runners @ £125 each??
Worse case scenario you get 25 players and have to add £75 <25 = no seat >25 = no value Not much to shout about really Title: Re: Irish Open qualifier tonight in Manchester! Post by: acc2020 on March 20, 2010, 01:19:03 PM As i predicted game cancelled , nobody turned up.
Would have definitely got plenty of runners with the correct marketing. The GUKPT £50 rebuy satellites at Bolton in january ( 15 mins drive away ) attracted over 100 runners and generated 14 £1070 seats so i think there is a market for these games , its just that very few people knew about them , and those that did may have been put off by the awful structure . ( 5,000 chips 50/100 doubling every 20 mins ) Doubt you'll get any runners for this afternoon main event but good luck hope i'm wrong. Title: Re: Irish Open qualifier tonight in Manchester! Post by: acc2020 on March 21, 2010, 02:40:46 AM 4 people turned up for main event which did not go ahead.
the freeroll play off for a main event seat ended up being chopped 3 ways , £90 each. I would advise any intending to play sundays £100 PLH/PLO not to bother as i doubt it attract any runners. |
