£5,000 overlay in the £200 and £500 sats tonight
Outstanding value really.
So what's the reason for not playing them, fellas?
I played it but I'm going to guess the main reason is it's just too expensive. Obviously it has to be expensive because of the entry fee but folks just haven't got £100 to be spending too often. These expensive sats are becoming more common as dtd have more expensive comps. I just don't think there's the money about to fund it all. Also the big comps just aren't generating the hype any more. There seems to be plenty of these events about so there's no need to throw all your efforts in to any one in particular. DTD in a sense offer too much choice. If it was one flagship event every month or so then I could maybe try and fit my life around the poker. But with so many to choose from it can be the other way around. It's also quite expensive too. £100 this week/end, £200 next weekend, and £500 at the end of the month. The other problem I have is I'm never quite sure what events are upcoming. This is probably my own fault as there's plenty of advertising on blonde and via email. But i'm very much a person that if i'm receiving too much information I just sorta blank it all out. I read the thread about GPVII a week or so ago and my first surprise was the fact that the thread was there in the first place and i'd not noticed it, and that they're up to GPVII. I remember the first one being a big deal so I played that, and I played one of the others too, but I didn't realise they were up to number 7! I get confused by the satellite stuff too. e.g. http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/satellites/500-deepstack - now, I don't really play satellites, and I think reading that i've digested how that works. But still, €100 isn't exactly cheap for an online satellite. It's a fifth of the buyin. Fire a couple of bullets at that and you'll be wishing you bought in direct. If there was some sort of big €50 satellite with lots of guaranteed seats that was well advertised then i'd probably make the effort to play such an event. But it's hard to make that stand out amongst all the other satellites already running and the other events going on. As it is the £500 is the event that stood out to me, hence it is the one I shall be playing +1. The changes in the online satellites in the past 2 months are too much!!!As someone who has played almost every SAT in the past year ( mini feeder, max feeder, feeder to feeder, you name it) Prices for every SAT has gone up considerably more and people like me who literally played every satellite in DTD ( atleast till these changes came into effect) cant afford to play 100 Euro SATs. When it was 50 Euros, atleast you can give 3/4 bullets every now and then.. Just my opinion!!!

Grand Prix day 1’s are now:- All 5pm start (1a and 1b have changed from 3pm)
I'm obviously already committed to this, and have always been fiercely supportive of DTD, but 15 x 30min levels plus breaks plus a drive home to Teesside on a Sunday wouldn't be very attractive if I weren't. I see the need for the Mon-Friday Day 1s to be 5pm, and there's probably an argument for making them later, but Saturday and Sunday are days for those who travel from further afield and a 5pm start just messes the whole day up and then makes a bigger mess of the day after. I'm by no means out of the ordinary for a travelling player and my journey of 129 miles is probably in the middle of the curve. It takes around 2hrs 30mins to get there with traffic and I've made it home in 2hrs on an empty motorway. A 5pm Sunday start means I need to leave at 2pm too early to stay at home for Sunday Lunch or indeed anything else of value, and will get home after 3am. I suspect this is just one more change that suits the locals, and as such I have to say that it's a touch short-sighted. The travelling players are the ones who build the field in these events. Completely agrees with this!
