Title: UKIPT Newcastle
Post by: aaron1867 on February 10, 2012, 02:30:25 AM
I've just been reading the schedule for season 3 of the UKIPT and came across the fact they are taking 3% of prizepool as costs for floor staff is this even acceptable?

Link: http://www.ukipt.com/tournaments/

£700+£70 for all events and then 3% took out of PP, is this even fair?

What is even the point of rake, if £70 isn't already enough.

Quick simple maths:

300 runners in a touney = PP of £210,000, then you take away £6,300 for the extra costs! Not to mention that they have already took £21,000 in rake.

Am I the only one thinking WTF?

Not ALL UKIPT events and not the UKIPT Dusk Till Dawn, on their web site, there is not a * next to UKIPT Nottingham, Swansea or Edinborough and they have not told us any different.

I think you will find this happens when the company supplying the dealers stipulates this as part of the contract with Pokerstars, so its not Pokerstars that are making any financial gain.

I don't think I'm speaking our of line or breaching any confidentiality, to say that I believe the UKIPT runs at significant operating loss, the benefits to Pokerstars being this loss is offset by extra online revenue through generation, re-activation and retention of online players.

Cheers Rob

Aspers

Jeez, gl them!

We went there 3 or 4 years ago, it was fine, a little small perhaps, but nice. Then they built a wall which cut the cardroom precisely in half, & we had 70 players in each of two rooms, seperated by a damn wall, that went well! Maybe they have removed the wall - I hope so. We still support & visit Aspers Newcastle, & hope to be using Aspers Stratford next year, but Swansea, not so much I'm afraid, they did not treat us too well, as Tighty will testify.

For South Wales, we now use an independent, "Les Croupiers", in Cardiff, which is abolutely the greatest. No frills, but 25 or 30 Tables in a single, rectangular, plain, room, & with a Chinese Restaurant at one end which serves a grand meal for a fiver. Splendid!

I believe last year the 3% was taken out to cover the extra costs of legs that were not held in a licensed casino (ie Edinburgh and Brighton etc) and only at those events...

Oh my, wow!

It's a truly wonderful Hotel, but I cannot think of a less likely more surprising place to hold a Poker Tourney.

It's a pukka, genuine, 5 Star luxury Hotel, one of the Rocco Forte jobs. As Mr Fett notes, no car parking at all that I am aware of, you'd need to park in the Railway Station Car Park, probably cost £20 per day or more. There are a few hotels nearby, but nothing "sensibly priced".

It is smack in the centre of the City, bounded by Princes Street on one side, & Edinburgh Waverley Railway Station on the other side, in fact, technically, it is part of the Station, which is the 2nd largest in the UK.  Back in the day, it was known as the "North British Hotel", owned by the railway. You get off the train, & walk up some 500 bloody steps directly into the Hotel.

I honestly cannot imagine anyone would be allowed in the place wearing hoodies & the like & I do mean that - it's well posh. To give you a flavour of how posh, they have afternoon tea in the Lounge every day, & a resident harpist serenades you. Which is nice, but hardly what Mr Cody, Mr Dempsey, Trigg  & Co are going to relish.....

Lots of nice eateries locally, though.

The entrance is manned 24/7 by Commissionaires, dressed beautifully in greatcoats, & kilts.

A standard room, off-season, would be, I guess, around £200, with Suites - most of the Hotel is suites - starting, off-season, at £500 per night. Nice suites, mind.

In the main photo, the big thing is the Hotel, with Princes Street to the left, Railway Station to the right.

Alex Goulder would feel very much at home there, if you get my drift.

Escalators have just been added so you don't need to walk up the 500 steps from the railway station to the hotel. There are also some budget hotels nearby and there are a few more planned. The buses run 24 hours for anyone staying away from the centre.

This is very true.

However, I don't think it is beyond the bounds of reasonable imagination that they would do it deliberately, either. The poker world is predatory by nature, & if those 2 clashed, there would only be one winner.

PS - And I am not suggesting it would be improper if they did.

Only from the perspective of the players, Geo.

Supermarkets do it all the time with predatory pricing & offers, they want to crush the opposition, steal their market, & their customers/Clients. This would be no different.

I hear what you're saying but there seems little point.  Despite the GUKPT's extra value, soft sats and cheaper fees,  stars have been crushing anyway. Feels a bit like kicking a man when he is down.  I hope they continue but fear the worst.


Would be good if they could do a final two fingers and get a bigger field.

For the record, I would be mortified if the GUKPT died, I think it's a wonderful thing, and part of the current Live Poker "furniture". 

I also think that 'Stars are a clinically efficient machine, & business is business.

I can't imagine that Stars particularly want to clash with GUKPT, but they probably don't care much either as they know they're going to get virtually the same numbers whether they clash or not. The UKIPT is hardly part of their core business (they lose money on it, don't they?) and probably a case of needs-must, schedule wise for their venue and for the UKIPT staff.

Emailed them. They're cancelling Swansea and replacing it with another location to be announced. Still clashes with gukpt blackpool though

Reliable source tells me Bristol Gala although contract not yet signed. They will struggle for floor space but have an additional room (that needs signing off by fire safety officer) - or they will probs clear half of the pitt floor.

Any conference rooms for them to repeat the feat of Brighton two seasons back? that was a popular stop...

Hi Tighty,
Do you think the grosvenor will alter much in the galas , tournement wise?
The gala bristol have a really good £100 f/o every month with great structure and levels, also with the £50 twice amonth, grosvenor normal every day tournies are much cr@ppier imo, have asked up there but no one seems to know what is going on really.

Just reread confirmation e-mail for Newcastle and seen that it says players should plan to turn up on 5th Sep - with days 1a and b beig on 6th and 7th. Is there any reason for turning up so early??? Seems a bit odd and I don't wanna be wasting days off/mooching around Newcastle for so long...

Hi all,

jjandellis: The UKIPT Newcastle festival starts at 18:00 on the 5th Sept with the £100 + £10 6 max, as such, the PokerStars package includes the night of the 5th for those playing Day 1A/side events. If you are playing Day 1B and do not wish to play any of the side events on the 5th or 6th then there is no need to show up in Newcastle until the morning of the 7th.



ALL - Just FYI, Day 1B for UKIPT Newcastle is proving very popular, if you can only play this day we do advise you register ASAP to avoid disappointment.

The full side event schedule including starting stacks and blind levels is available at:

http://www.ukipt.com/files/schedule/season3/newcastle/UKIPT3_Newcastle_tournament_schedule.pdf

Many thanks,

Jamie

Hi all,

We are expecting a busy week up here in Newcastle with almost 500 players pre-registered.

Space is limited in Aspers and we are nearing capacity, particularly on Day 1B. If you are still looking to buy-in for Day 1B then we recommend you do this via PS or Aspers as soon as possible to avoid disappointment/being an alternate.

Anyone who is already registered for Day 1B but would like to play Day 1A instead please email ukipt@pokerstars.com

If you have any questions, fire away.

Hope to see you up here,

Jamie
