ill take bramm moor toby and me v european and v you for $500. 8 diff bets is it all nl events or just ones both play?

can i use my free substitution and take phil ivey out and replace with thomas middleton. ivey was my cpt and now ill make middleton my cpt if that all counts as just my free transfer pls

Confirmed.
Thomas Middleton in for Phil Ivey from event #65.
Thomas Middleton becomes your new captain.
This is a free substitution.
Any subsequent substitutions will cost 10 points.


This is my favourite substitution ever in this competition; if I could find a loophole in the rules, I'd award you bonus points.

Good luck to Mr. Middleton.
A final table is worth 10 points which would be doubled (as captain) and could well seal the competition for you - worth making the effort for, I'd say.

Ha, incredible stuff, well done both of you.

haha thanks, my only shot is by having a captain no one else has. only got myself to blame if i don't win now!

You dont potentially take ev directly away from another player when you sell half your action after satty qualification though. And this would be extremely hard to control whereas preventing the rail from helping out one player in deal discussions is actually a possibility (although a poor one imo). I dont really like how these insurance deals come about and I'm not sure saying its just business is an adequate response when someone is getting screwed because of their lack of financial connections.

how do you directly take ev away from another player (apart from less financial pressure on you - the same as selling pieces pre tourney albeit on a smaller scale)?  No one is getting screwed, the tourney is still being played out with the advertised payout structure.  Your choosing to do business with someone offering to do insurance over doing business with the other player because its a better deal for you.  

*unfairly take EV

What's the difference between this and winning at satellite and selling half? You're just selling equity for cash.  Sure only people with the right connections are going to be able to do this, therefore giving them an advantage.  At the same time you could be facing a billionaire who doesn't care about the money therefore giving him an edge, is that unfair? It's not pretty and I don't know why they insist on showing stuff like this being discussed all of a sudden (I'm sure it's gone on for years but never shown).  At the end of the day it's just business.

Not being able to talk to the rail is a ridiculous suggestion. They're trying to organise a multi-million euro deal and you don't think players should be able to discuss with other people? You'd be a fool if you didn't esp after you've been playing in an intense poker game for a week and several hours that day alone.

I think it's fantastic the way DTD are holding these festivals. Its not just one main event anymore theres great tourneys all week.  I personally prefer 6max to full ring and I know a lot of other poker players do too, very excited about going down for this.

thanks guys
