Flushy - most of the people playing are no mugs. Granted there are 60 strong players but for someone who has never played a £1k buy in comp before then it is likely they would find it tougher than same size field in a Mansion $100 event for example. An EPT or WPT event would be way tougher but it is a tough field relative to what our fellow blondiete poster would be normally used to playing in. ( I presume). In 3 events we have only had 2 or 3 really high profile players make the FT which says something about the strength of the GUKPT field.
Bolton was a joke, with the exception of 1 hard table i found myself on it was soft as hell. My first day table would have been weak for a £10 rebuy. Even our table at the start of Day 3 was pretty decent!
Walsall was the same, 2 people knew what they were doing the rest had no clue. Even on day 2 my table was soft (with the exception of a couple of players)
Well the 'toughest' buy-in i've ever played was £300 at the rendevous xmas cracker and actually that was fairly soft.. had Richard Gryko get lucky on me with 20 to go

Was i on your table then? I was sat next to Richard towards the end of the day.
The standard in that and a GPT event are fairly similar.
