wow...not been over for a few months...i think this will worth the trip  ;applause;

this sounds like an outstanding promotion.

wow!
amazing promo, lower buyin is wicked idea and 50x ukipt seats is iceing on the cake :) ;applause;

Am I right in assuming the 50 UKIPT seats come out of the prizepool? Think its a great idea regardless!

Yes they are.

same again tonight. seats gtd to what should be a great may deepstack

half the price, same guarantee in the deepstack and 50 UKIPT seats up for grabs

I just checked out the lobby for today's 21.00 satellite and it says that it is "...Dusk 250 Daily Sat into this weeks £250 events.  Event only."  Please can someone confirm that I can use the seat token for the May Deepstack - I got a bunch of £5.50 tokens to use up but cannot play any events until May and this would be a great way to use them.

Thanks

seats won can be used as seat credit for dtd tournaments of £250 buy in or higher, with 120 day expiry

so yes

see

Thanks for the clarification - should have gone to specsavers........

Guys

Here is the full detailed schedule for the £250 Deepstack "UKIPT Special", including Mega Sats on Sunday for the UKIPT £1M and High Roller. http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/250-deepstack-ukipt-special/2416 Please share the link with anyone that you know who likes our Monthly Deepstacks and/or is planning to play.

In terms of the £250 online sats, we are giving players flexibility to use £250 seats for ANY DTD event, in full or part payment.

Cheers ACES

Hi Guys, I am getting a lot of questions about the flexibility of the new online satellites that started on Monday. Just to be clear;

1. Players who win a £250 seat can use this as part or full payment for ANY Dusk Till Dawn tournament including third party events such as UKIPT, Sky etc that have a buy-in of £250 and above, players can win as many seats as they want and have 120 days to use the seat.

2. Players who win a £1100 UKIPT seat must use their 1st seat won for the UKIPT £1M, any £1100 seats won after that can be used as full or part payment for ANY Dusk Till Dawn including third party events such as UKIPT, Sky etc that have a buy-in of £250 and above, players can win as many seats as they want and have 120 days to use the seat.

Cheers ACES

So basically it £95,000 plus £55,000 worth of UKIPT seats? I'd be interested to know what the pay outs are based on 666 runners. I'll be playing this that's for sure :D .

5pm: DTD Pennyrolls
7pm: DTD MEGA FEEDERS
9pm: £25 RB (5 x £250 seats GTD)

not sure these new satty structures really work. For example the £250 sats are £5.50 to enter, rebuys £5 and seats you win are £27.50. By the time you rebuy and take the mandatory double stack add-on you have done more than half the buy-in! Previously the single entry was typically 1/10th of the prize rather than 1/5th which IMO was better. Having the double stack add-on gets more money into the pool but creates a weird dynamic whereby people are hanging on for the end of the rebuys as they desperately need the add on. Have also seen flurry's of late reg entries too where people are diving in at the last minute for a buy in and add on.

Am i missing something?

Yes you are missing something that the most optimal way to play these sats is to enter at the add on break and it's not even close esp with a triple addon.

Yeah this definitely.

It's so much better to wait 'til the break to buy in that despite the low cost the penny rolls actually become bad value because you are forced in from the start.

Nits   ;D

yes i know that. my point is, why structure a tournament where the optimal way of buying in is to wait till end of late reg? why not structure something thats worth being in from the start? I just don't like the amount you have to commit as a buy in versus the reward attainable. sattys should be a cheap way of getting in to a comp

agree 100% with this

They just want everyone to take the add on that's why. If they changed it from that I think they would drop the guarantees, I'd rather keep the guarantees myself.

If too many people leave it to the last minute and players are eliminated in the prizes, as was the case in h's screenshot, that closes late reg and stops add-ons being taken.

I see why the structure is as it is, but surely there's room for some old-fashioned standard freeze out satellites?

needs to be less levels of rebuys then. i'd happily take the add on if I hadn't already had two rebuys and once i am past level 7 I am practically either forced to go all in or time bank fold to the add on and fold a huge % of my newly purchased stack in the process.

I think it would be a lot harder to qualify through a FO, I just can't see them guaranteeing big seat numbers for them. In all honestly I don't care too much about 'proper poker' in a cheap sat, get me a seat on the cheap and then I'll worry about that then.

so in the main sat its $25 entry with double stack add on. should i be buying in at last minute in this as well?

75,000 chips 1500/3000 blinds...pretty playable stack if you ask me...and it gives you 2 hours to do something else before hand...obviously if you join from the start you get an even better playable stack...swings and roundabouts.

There's a turbo one tomorrow at 7pm with only 5 min blinds...good luck.

With regards to the current sat. formats i would also like to see a return of a freezeout even if it was a once a week with feeders during the week...back to the 1 in 5 format...2-10-50-250.  Just as an addition to what is currently on offer with no guaranteed seats to see how it went.

Ok 1 in 5 does not sound too bad actually.

Definitely prefer to see freezeouts back.
These sats are awful, but my main issue is the two hour rebuy period!

The £25 I played got to the final table bubble then 9 people late regged!

That's ok as long as everyone is fine with the guaranteed seats dropping, because it will, but I like the big guarantees. I like it how it is, but maybe add a FO a couple of times a week or something for those that don't, or alternate days RB with FO's?

How can people seriously be complaining about the current structures?  65% of the field are usually out before the add on which gives you even more value than usual in these sats.  I have played several where you could nearly fold to a seat after buying in at the add on period for 20% of the value of the seat in question and must have been a flip to get a seat every time.  FO sats make it so much harder to win a seat yet no one seems to realise this and you get charged more rake as a % of the prize pool than during rebuy/addon sats.  I actually think these sats are the best value online sats i have ever played in my life on any site for any event ever.

Yup agree totally.

The thing is many of us are hoping to qualify on the cheap where possible. Yes we do sometimes, but other times you do your bollocks or don't manage to qualify, that's when people ask questions. I doubt there are many better sats online for events like this, people need to realize that you simply aren't going to qualify every time on the cheap, as much as we would like to that just isn't going to happen. I think we get spoilt with these sats on DTD sometimes with the regular overlays and expect too much.

Rob Yong latest blog entry,

UKIPT £250 deepstack thoughts included

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=4&id=494

(http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/images/promotions/660.jpg)

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/news/250-deepstack-ukipt-special/2416

Hmmmmm. I get that they are value if you late register and take an add on and it can get you in cheaper than buying in directly, so that is what I will do from now on. I guess I just prefer starting at the start and trying to get in for 1/10th of the buy in rather than getting in for 35-50% of the buy in.  I also suppose the structures encourage people to work their way up from the base level feeders as a way of getting in really cheap and  getting most value. I am afraid I dont really have time for that

If you don't mind, I have a few observations on satellites;

1. The preference on formats of satellites depend on personal circumstances and bankroll

2. These are the just a few considerations that have to be taken into account

Player 1 "I want early satellites because need to get in bed before 11pm as I have work in the morning"
Player 2 "I don't get in from work till 7pm, need to spend some time with kids and eat dinner, cant really play till 9pm - 10pm"
Players 3 - "I dont have time to play lots of satellites, I want the best chance of qualifying, 1 in 5 please"
Player 4 "I want to get in as cheap as possible, I want to have the chance to invest the minimum, UL Re-Buys please"
Player 5 "I want the choice to invest 1 in 10 or 1 in 5, 1R 1A please"
Player 6 "I can't be sure what time I am going to able to play, longest possible late reg please"
Player 7 "I don't want to be disadvantaged by players with more money than me because I work hard winning tokens, freezouts please"
Player 8 "I like to to sit down for an evening of sats, if I get unlucky, I want to be able to re-buy or at least re-enter"
Player 9 "I only have a hour or so spare, turbo's please"
Player 10 "I just want to flick in and have a punt, I can afford to buy-in, turbo's please"
Player 11 "I am not playing for 1 seat GTD, there is no value, I want value and chance of overlay, minimum 5 seat sats please"
Player 12 "I cant play the event, but I want to win seats for future events, no event only sats please"
Player 13 "I want to play all your live events with a nosebleed GTE, sod the players that can't play, keep the GTE's high and make sats event only"
Player 14 "I have won a seat, can I break in up into smaller amounts as I am running bad and need some bankroll for this weekend"
Player 15 "I work at night, please do sats in the daytime"
Player 16 "Can you do a last chance sat when I get back from the pub, 11pm would be perfect"
Player 17 "I prefer freezouts because I can win tokens for them for 1p, I have no intention of buying in though, 1 in 10 or 1 in 5 freezouts are too expensive up front"
Player 18 "I hate timebanking online, reduce the decision time and timebanks, players are slowing the game down"
Player 19 "I need more time to make decisions, you get way more time live, increase the timebanks please"
Player 20 "I'll only play if there is an overlay"

We have been tweaking sats for 7 years, the reason we never stop tweaking is because it's an impossible job to keep these 20 players happy. It's often a case of "who shouts loudest gets a tweak" but in reality, it should be based on what are most successful with the target market.

On thing that I think is most important, and where some sites often fall down, including DTD, is that the reason for a satellite in the first place is "for a player who cannot afford to buy-in to win a seat", therefore building the tournament numbers. That's the target market, it's pointless when a player who is planning to DBI anyway wins a seat, it's a lose for the operator and a lose for poker overall, the "moneymaker factor" keeps poker tournaments going. We should be gearing our DTD satellites to these people IMO

Cheers Rob

From Monday DTD will have 15 seats GTD a night and all will be tokens (valid 120 days)

Details to follow

Sorry this has probably been covered !

The £250 next weekend is £150k gtd with 50 ukipt seats

I can't make the ukipt (gutted) so if I finished in top 50 can I save the seat for a future event or two deep stacks ?

Many thanks.

Hi Lee

Yes you can save the £1,100 seat for future £1K events - we'll hopefully be announcing one for later in the year and you can split if necessary too.

Thanks Nic

Thin obv but the last 2 nights they have finished at 1.10 and 1.30 precisely!!  ;)

Cheers.

quality brags!

Whats the deal with rake on this £250 and the £250's going forward?  10% of the gtd prize pool whatever the amount of actual runners?  So in this one £150k gtd so £15k rake taken out and 135k into the prize pool?

the  odd thing about last night was it generated 20 odd seats but paid 40 places 2.10 for 40 th

Assuming Saturday is going to be chocka can we pre reg with the online tokens, or does this have to be done on arrival?

(http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/images/promotions/671.jpg)

"online tokens have to be pre-regged as standard we have the holding tank - will only get entered when they arrive unless they request to go in from the start"

If you get through with a short stack, can you surrender it and enter again?

Nope, take any stack through

is the torney a 40 min clock at dtd??  cant seem to find it anywhere on the dtd site?

it is. it's on the link on page 1 of this thread.

ffs. i really got to come back with 4 bigs? wp the guy who called all in with K4 last hand and spiked.

Oh ok. Thanks Rob. Tighty had previously put any stack goes through when Red had asked. May pop down Saturday then if get time. Otherwise the greatest come back of all time is on

whats up with hotel prices in nottingham this weekend.  everything is twice as much???  bank holidays are normally better value!!??

How many levels are being played on day 1 please?  Estimated finish time tonight please?

10

£250 buy-in instead of £250+£25.

600 entries would hit £150K, 10% deducted, £135K prizepool, so 540 entries would equal no rake.

Cant see our £250 UKIPT Special causing this. maybe FB Dale Gerrad of Main Event Travel, we use them to deal with all hotels.

Loads of UKIPT info on these 2 threads;

usually get a 4star hotel for 50 per night, but even b and b's are coming in at over 100 per night on saturday......

there must be something happening in nottingham (non poker related) which is making hotel availability short and expensive.??

the online legs produced 161 runners fo whom 51 are through to Sunday

600 needed to hit the whopping £150,000 (with the very innovative and attractive 50 UKIPT Seats as part of that)

tomorrow is going to be packed.

doors now open at 4pm and to avoid queues, if you need to buy in/register online tokens arrive at that time is my advice

shop buy in for tomorrow

highly recommended to avoid the queues

http://www.dtdshop.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=17

registration closed today with 238 entries and 37 re-entries so 275 total

Add to 161 online and we are at 436 total ahead of tomorrow needing 600 for the £150,000

remember doors now open 4pm for 5pm start


buy in via dtd shop beforehand to save queues and register online tokens in the lobby for tomorrow's tournament

How?

Its been so long since I have played I dont even know how to reg!

Confirmed very easy to use. Guess i just turn up at 5 and chips in play?

was there a confirmation email or something? very skeptical about using these things generally incase it gets 'lost'

Yes. Two emails actually

log into DTD Online

go to the dusk till dawn tab

click on £250 deepstack

go to Dusk 250 Live Day 1 LP

Register now

use token

Well that was easy as pie. Registered online via the shop, 2 emails to confirm and checked with Nicola, all good. In from the start and no need to go to the desk!

Frickin filters!

In case anyone else has problems apparently you cant do this with the seat credits anyway.
Online support however sent a message to the cash desk to reg me so I am in from the start.

They were helpful and super efficient as always.

Resuming at 12 or 1 Sunday. Website says 12 but schedule linked to says 1.

TD's said 1
