What is the structure for the live day 1's please? 5k starting at a live event with big numbers sounds like a bit of a lottery. The online structure looks fine but converting that to live to fit in 1 day (to get to 10% field) sounds tricky. Do DTD have 10/20 chip denominations at the club? If not decided yet I personally think most would prefer an earlier start with longer levels to offset the stack.
I mean, if they don't have the chip denominations, they just have to make it a 50k starting stack and times everything by 10, dividing by 10 at the end of the day.
How is live going to be a lottery when it will have an identical structure (with longer levels obv)??
Spot on The Atkinator, live Day 1's have always been planned to be 37.5 min clock / 50k chips / start at 100/200. Then divide by 10 for starting stack. 100%, completely, absolutely the same. Simple, and the very least of my problems, please guys, I need web site hits
Rob do you have any plans to target players at grass roots level ( I understand that Dtd might support some poker league ATM) I was at a charity poker event this week and there was about 40 people and I was suprised to find that despite them all playing home/pub games only a couple had heard of this event. I got cramp writing out the website for these people.
There is also a local pub game that may get 50 runners so will pop along there and see what the craic is and gauge interest.
I have spammed the life out of Facebook and initially thought I would just be preaching to the converted but it was suprising how many people in the local casino have been asking what they have to do to be involved in the freerolls.
Almost everybody has some sort of grasp of poker these days ( just look at the numbers playing zinga etc), and whilst getting 1600 to ante up €3000 is one way to crack this comp, getting 160,000 people to play a €30 sat skins the same cat.
