Title: PokerStars: Live and Online events thread Post by: GPPT Jamie on March 04, 2013, 12:56:42 PM Hi,
UKIPT starts tomorrow with Day 1A. We are expecting a large field for the UKIPT but we wanted to point out that Day 1C is likely to be extremely busy and if you do not buy-in in advance then you do run the risk of being turned away as we have a cap of 400 players per day (plus alternates). If you are available to play Day 1A or Day 1B it would be much appreciated if you play these days and, if you can only play Day 1C then we do advise you register in advance via PokerStars or The Vic. The full tournament schedule for the festival is available via the link below and there will be a free shuttle service between The Grosvenor Victoria and The Hippodrome Casino for all players: http://www.ukipt.com/tournaments/london/ We still have satellites for both the UKIPT and EPT available online (UKIPT satellites are only available for Day 1A or Day 1B). Many thanks, Jamie Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: AndrewT on March 04, 2013, 01:02:56 PM Hey Jamie
What is event 2 all about - a £100 sat for the high roller with €50 rebuy and addon? I assume the € is a typo - is the 50 right or should that be 100? Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: GPPT Jamie on March 04, 2013, 02:51:25 PM Hey Jamie What is event 2 all about - a £100 sat for the high roller with €50 rebuy and addon? I assume the € is a typo - is the 50 right or should that be 100? Hi, Yes the € is a typo. The tournament is a £100 entry with £50 rebuys (rebuys and add on are half the price of the initial entry). It is a satellite format we use for the high roller at almost every UKIPT. Cheers, Jamie Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: Doobs on March 04, 2013, 02:55:44 PM Hello Jamie. Can you just confirm if the plo8 on the 12th march is just one day. Cheers
Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: GPPT Jamie on March 04, 2013, 03:00:37 PM Hello Jamie. Can you just confirm if the plo8 on the 12th march is just one day. Cheers Hi, Can confirm it is scheduled as a one day event. All events are subject to TD discretion but it is unlikely to change. Thanks Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: Doobs on March 04, 2013, 03:08:23 PM Thanks
Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: AgentChip109 on March 04, 2013, 04:50:30 PM heya. do u have an approx time of when day1 will finish?
Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: GPPT Jamie on March 04, 2013, 05:20:18 PM heya. do u have an approx time of when day1 will finish? We will be playing 11 levels on Day 1s meaning that play will finish at approximately 1am. The days are longer than normal UKIPTs as we need to ensure we can accommodate all remaining players into a single Day 2 Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: Boba Fett on March 04, 2013, 05:27:13 PM Can you confirm approximate time of the dinner break on the day 1s and for how long?
Thanks Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: GPPT Jamie on March 04, 2013, 05:34:08 PM Can you confirm approximate time of the dinner break on the day 1s and for how long? Thanks Hi, After level 6 - so around 6:30pm. Dinner break is 1 hour. Jamie Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: iangascoigne on March 04, 2013, 06:15:02 PM Heard a rumour that the Thursday is sold
out? Please confirm that this is not the case. Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: AgentChip109 on March 04, 2013, 11:45:46 PM heya. do u have an approx time of when day1 will finish? We will be playing 11 levels on Day 1s meaning that play will finish at approximately 1am. The days are longer than normal UKIPTs as we need to ensure we can accommodate all remaining players into a single Day 2 wow, glad i checked this. this finishing time has really screwed me over and now means i cant play :( Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: GPPT Jamie on March 05, 2013, 01:34:37 AM Heard a rumour that the Thursday is sold out? Please confirm that this is not the case. We are still accepting buy-ins for Day 1C although spaces are limited now and will almost certainly fill up before Thursday. If you can only play 1C you really do need to register in advance to guarantee a seat. Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: Bad Beat on March 05, 2013, 09:53:53 AM I was told it was Noon until 8pm as with all UKIPTs and I have made plans for afterwards.
Pity nobody mentioned it. I assume the Vic will bring food to the table and then give everyone an hour to hang around the second we have all eaten? (If they didn't do that and just had a 15 minute break, you could get the day done before the tube stops which is a big factor for many players). Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: TightEnd on March 05, 2013, 11:59:16 AM The PokerStars United Kingdom & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) is in the British capital for the UKIPT London festival.
UKIPT London will run from March 5 through to March 10 and will split its time between the Grosvenor Victoria Casino and The Hippodrome casino, where yesterday the PokerStars LIVE poker lounge was opened. Although the UKIPT has had a stop in London previously, this is the first time a full UKIPT festival has taken place in “The Big Smoke,” and with the European Poker Tour, World Poker Tour, Sky Poker Tour and PKR in the capital over the next few week, there is every chance that UKIPT London could be massive. UKIPT London schedule Date Time Tournament Buy-In Venue Tue 5 Mar 12:00 UKIPT Main Event Day 1A £700+£70 The Vic Wed 6 Mar 12:00 UKIPT Main Event Day 1B £700+£70 The Vic Thu 7 Mar 12:00 UKIPT Main Event Day 1C £700+£70 The Vic Fri 8 Mar 12:00 UKIPT Main Event Day 2 The Vic Sat 9 Mar 12:00 UKIPT Main Event Day 3 The Vic Sun 10 Mar 12:00 UKIPT Main Event Final Table The Vic live updates from the £770 buy-in Main Event on the PokerStars Blog, while I will provide you with a recap of the previous day’s action on here Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: marcro on March 05, 2013, 12:13:28 PM What time will the EPT Day 1's finish?

I don't know, but the place seemed fairly rammed for the GUKPT* and car park was at best half full when I got there at lunch time each day. I guess I'll find out where is next best if I play the PLO8 next Tuesday starting at 7pm. Presumably many of the others round there will be emptying out at that time? FWIW.

Do you know who he supports? Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: scotty77 on March 06, 2013, 03:18:15 AM I got to the Vic at 11.30 today to have the car park closed. I was given a discount ticket to the NCP across the road (£5 for 12 hours). As the tournie lasted longer than 12 hours the total cost was £10.
If you haven't been registered for a PS Live card before, then you need to do this and make sure you bring photo ID. Thankfully I'd already got a PS Live card, as I had none on me. The day finished at around 1am. The tournie started on the gaming floor and the card room, with the card room tables being broken to make way for cash. The gaming floor tables were very very cramped and a table neighbour was waiting over an hour for a drink of water. I'd advise getting a couple of bottles before hand. But yeah usual very well run event from the team at the Vic and Stars. Seems that a fairly large European player base have made their way over for this event. Made day 2 with 100k :) Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: celtic on March 06, 2013, 03:31:32 AM blah blah blah, blah blah blah, more blah blah blah, wee bit more blah blah.

Hi all, It is vital that ALL players bring ID if you wish to play any event at UKIPT/EPT. This still applies even if you are already a member of The Vic as we are operating PS Live here and players require ID to sign up to the PS Live system and register into live events. Many thanks, Jamie Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: iangascoigne on March 06, 2013, 10:35:40 AM So unable to be in London today due to work, son cannot buy me in because I will not be there and beurocracy surrounding PS live cards.

Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: GPPT Jamie on March 06, 2013, 05:16:04 PM Will there be availability tomorrow ? Hi all, We do still have a few places left for tomorrow and registration is open via PokerStars or with cash at The Vic. Just to stress again, if you do not pre-register today it is more than likely you will be an alternate or turned away altogether. We have a field of over 400 today and tomorrow will inevitably be in more demand.

Action Man - Yes this will be no problem, you are the template for the perfect player ;) Just to clarify, if you have already bought in to Day 1C via PS or The Vic already then you are guaranteed a seat. We are operating PS Live for the entire festival which all players will have to sign up too regardless of how they bought in. If you already have PS Live card then please bring this along.

I am Mr Low-Maintenance, & I don't get involved in too many debates about these things, & I'm not exactly a member of your target market. FWIW, I am, or was, considering playing the PLO8 next week, but truly, I don't like being, as it were, "forced" into signing up for PS Live Cards & the associated benefits, and I definitely don't fancy joining a queue & filling in forms to allow me to play. When 'Stars first began, I was a fairly solid raker there, I'm going back 10 years or so I think, but I have not played on 'Stars for a good few years, as I have a conflict of interest, so you can well manage without me. FWIW though, it is a negative for those who are wavering, & may make the difference between playing or not. Judging by the numbers you are getting, you'll cope just fine though. ;) I must add that 'Stars are the absolute nuts, the Rolls Royce of Poker Sites, if we don't mind huge fields & the like, & I am NOT anti in any way.

Stars are the best in the field by 10000000000000 miles. Staff are fantastic and tournaments run super smoothly. I'm just a bit paranoid about people who want to know my personal information when I think they don't need it. I'm on enough spam registers as it is and I receive my fair share of shite in the post and I don't give out personal info very often at all.

I turned up just before 12 having pre-registered and then found I had to queue up for 20 mins to register for a mandatory card that seemed pointless and meant I missed the start of the tournament.

Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: GPPT Jamie on March 07, 2013, 02:30:07 PM tikay - Not a problem. We try to be as transparent as possible so that players don't get any unwanted surprises.
It really does take 2 minutes to sign up and the only time there has been a queue is in the 30 minutes before the main event starts which we are trying to process 450+ registrations in a short space of time. This should not be a problem for the sides as 95% of players playing sides have played the main event and therefore are already signed up. Boba Fett and George2Loose - Hopefully most players feel like you :) Scotty77 - 8 levels are planned for UKIPT Day 2 The Camel - I'm raging, your day two table is now 'coincedentally' located directly outside the toilets ;) Seriously though, I know i'm biased but I think PS has an exemplary track record of not selling personal info to anyone. It is very important to us that people feel safe, secure and that their info is held strictly confidentially. If anyone has further concerns they are more than welcome to discuss these with myself or any other member of staff at an event. Dry em - Unfortunately, I don't think we have ever had a UKIPT where there hasn't been a bottle neck somewhere, no matter how hard we try it is impossible to deal with the weight of numbers when everyone shows up 15 minutes before the start. The same is true of UKIPTs without PS Live as if for some reason a player who registered online does not show up they are refunded their buy-in (for DBIs - we have players that this applies to at every single event) and we wouldn't be able to do this without you registering with us before you take your seat. NEWY - Yes you would still be able to get a PS Live card in both these instances and enter as a cash buy-in.

Cheers Correct Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: AlunB on March 07, 2013, 09:46:03 PM Just came back from the UKIPT. It was brilliantly run and most importantly there are a lot of staff there pointing useless poker players in the right direction and telling them what to do. The EPT Live card thingy was as painless as it possibly could be and took less than 5 minutes. To be fair Stars already have so much personal information on anyone who plays online that this is by the by.
I for one welcome our new insect overlords. Shame I suck at the actual pokers.

Look forward to my invite Seminar 1: Attention to detail Seminar 2: Actually giving a shit about your customers Session ends Just to add to this. As someone who follows the online gambling industry very very closely, I can say Stars don't always do everything brilliantly. The key is they learn quickly from their mistakes, listen to feedback and don't repeat them. That's why they consistently win.

In all honesty we were caught a little bit on the hop with almost 500 players at The Vic registering/playing Day 1C whilst simultaneously trying to set up the venue at The Hippodrome in time for yesterdays side. We will make sure that caps are properly communicated for the rest of the festival and that we get the information out as early as possible if any event looks likely to sell out and whilst there are going to be events that get capped the least we can do is make sure players are aware before they travel to each venue. On that note, the £330 UKIPT Side event at The Hippodrome at 12:00 today has a cap of 180 with around 100 seats still available. Registration is now open for cash and PS accounts at The Hippodrome and we would advise you buy-in ASAP to avoid disappointment as this event is always popular. We also expect the biggest ever UKIPT High Roller tomorrow so watch this space. Shuttles are running between The Vic and The Hippodrome but these are taking quite some time at peak traffic times and you may be better off jumping on the tube. The drivers are driving the route multiple times a day so maybe ask them before you depart and they should be able to advise on traffic conditions.

Maybe he will, yes, I will have a chat with him after he has had time to cool off. We spoke in the week, to discuss (possible) plans for Vegas, and he told me he was aching to play the EPT, but although he has the roll, it was too much to justify, so he was hoping to get a decent bink in the UKIPT. He is a great kid, makes money at the game, keeps his feet on the floor, and gets it quietly. Reminds me of Thewy before he went all bolshy.

It is the WPT National starting next Friday and Saturday (£1500+£150) in Stratford. It is the one I am planning on playing. Not an EPT, but easier on the bankroll and leaves some change from his cash. I dare say the field should be softer too. Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: scotty77 on March 09, 2013, 07:29:59 PM Yes I would have loved to play the EPT Main and I could obv flick it in and it wouldn't kill me either. BUT I realise just how much £5300 is and I don't think I could play that kind of event in that way I would want too, even if I sold a large piece, it still wouldn't sit right with me either. Also it's the kind of event where you can just get utter death tables too and there will be a fair few draws out there where I wouldn't be plus EV. The one event that is the exception is ofc the WSOP ME but that is such a unique event that it can't be missed. £5300 is just massive for a one poker tournie when there is so much value around. That's the WPT, Irish Open and DTD Monte Carlo plus some change left over to cover expenses and I think choosing those kind of events over the EPT is the smart move and I wouldn't be a professional if I didn't think that way. I'm not someone who's ever been to being staked for things massively, outside the main and selling Vegas packages, where I think everyone in poker has to adapt a bit because if the sums involved. Usually if i sell it's between 0-25pc for stuff and it's a way of playing the game that sits right with me. It's annoying to min cash in a tournie like the UKIPT but after the dust settled all I did was play some cards for a couple if days and made £1500. In the real world that's something to be happy with. Oh and another flag! It's also unusual for me to flop such good equity and NOT get there lol Can still bink something online In the next 30 hours that can cover it haha! Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: tikay on March 09, 2013, 08:10:20 PM Superb attitude, Ryan.
As I said, feet on the ground. You have plenty of time and a long road to travel, a good life playing poker lies ahead if you keep that discipline.

Agree with that post somewhat but the experience of playing these slightly tougher big field higher buy in events is worth something imo and you could be playing it with 25% of your action for the same price. You will learn something on a sick table and possibly crush and go deep on an easy table!

(Back then, there was nothing that big on a regular basis, live or online) Then pretty much one by one, they all acknowledged that if they were to play it and win, they would just about be out of it.
As they were stronger players than me, and as I was currently 0 from 0 in £1k events, I figured I could do better than them by simply not playing them and always being out of it. Obviously if you have major skillz and the bankroll, you should be playing them. If you don't have the skillz (me) or the bankroll (me) then the smart thing to do was not play. Pretty sure 10 years later, most people that were in on that convo would agree.... Title: Re: UKIPT/EPT London Post by: smashedagain on March 10, 2013, 01:30:41 PM Good Luck Chris Dowling.

I have a complaint. I was at The Vic yesterday, & decided to take your advice, & get my PS Live Card. I am a busy man, & I don't have time to waste. Filling in bloody forms & having my photo taken, it is just not good enough. The whole process was ridiculous, & wasted nearly 45 seconds of my life. ;) PS - You were right. Staff helpful, process easy, avoid the queues. Slighty disappointed they would not allow me to buy in yesterday for tonight's 7pm PLO8, as I will be running tight for time tonight, & will now have to queue to buy-in, but that apart, great organisation, all very efficient.

Staff helpful, process easy, avoid the queues. Slighty disappointed they would not allow me to buy in yesterday for tonight's 7pm PLO8, as I will be running tight for time tonight, & will now have to queue to buy-in, but that apart, great organisation, all very efficient. When you are as old as Tikay 45 seconds is a frighteningly high % of what's left. I SO wish I could upload the photo which was sent to my Twitter yesterday - it was me interviewing your Hero at the EPT. I do like that Daniel.

Eight events in total will take place, the biggest changes of which being the London and Sanremo events being moved back to their previous dates of October and April. “Players at the EPT will see that we have made a deliberate decision to focus on stability,” said EPT President Edgar Stuchly. “During a successful Season 9 where we decided to host fewer and bigger events incorporating the national tours, we listened to an enormous amount of player feedback who valued less time spent travelling, and more time spent playing. Since the Sanremo tournament will be held immediately before the EPT Grand Final in April, it will mean players can spend the whole month of April on the beautiful Riviera.” PokerStars have also announced that their regional tours, such as UKIPT and the Estrellas Poker Tour, will take continue. There are also set to be more High Roller events at each stop this season.

Is this still the case for UKIPT or are the rules being relaxed for the week?
Also, the casino dealers there were awful, some of the worst I've ever seen. Completely unable to make change. Will you be using them or bringing in the normal UKIPT dealers?

They are a joke, had a ridic hand were I was in a pot with 2 Spaniards, me and, lets call him Spaniard 1 folds and then says to Spaniard 2 I want to see what you had, Spaniard 2 says to the dealer ok show him but only him, they knew each other, Spaniard 1 is in seat 1, coincidentally, and the dealer peels up the cards so he can see so I say you have to show the whole table now, the dealer says no and puts them in the deck, WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK, so I kick off and get the TD over who's saying "no comprende, no comprende", std ldo. So I tell the English guy who's at the table and speaks Spanish and agrees with me, ofc, to tell the TD what happened, the TD didn't give a shit and says deal the next hand nothing's wrong. I had to walk away from the table I was that tilted, cheating twats. This wonderful TD also ruled that it was fine that someone had to be the BB two hands in a row, abs rofl punting jokers.
