1) Has the once-wonderful monthly £300 now died, & been replaced by this?

2) "Pot Raked at 10%" - does that mean they deduct 10% from the Prize Pool?


1: Yes.

2: Yes. (Horse's mouth)

I assume you won't be playing it Tom?

There's so much competition these days (Luton £250 2 dayer fri night, whole GUKPT Week next for example) I think its quite a msguided ploy

do you think though that it might attract some waverers on the basis that its reg fee unless they cash?

presumably its designed to be incentive, even if in practice its unhelpful

No, we  - sorry I - will never be happy if they start taking money out of the Prize Pool. It's so much harder for many folks to know what the % deduction is that way. It could be 10%, 12.5%, 15%, & many would never realise. Prize Pools are not there to be messed with, however pure the intention.

I agree with you, I am merely saying its a marketing gimmick designed to obfuscate and appeal to the "maybes" who might be swayed by this.

Obfuscation? Grosvenor obfuscate? We must have them all shot.

It is also a clever bit of mathematical trickery to get people to pay a bigger reg fee.

Is the entry fee still on top of that too?
