GBPT - Give us your thoughts

[jambo22]

Hi Adam,

1. Antes could be slowed down, add more levels and introduce running antes later.
2. Although I busted out just before the cash ( DOH !!! ) I feel the tourney should be played down to the TV final with the players coming back the next day. It was 2 very long days.
3. Dealers, while I appreciate it is difficult for the casino to get the time to train dealers if the floor is busy. Only fully competent dealers should be used for the main event.
 
On a positive I thought the Edinburgh Tournament was fantastically well run, and I am really looking forward to this years, and Michele was a nice bit of eye candy.

Hi,

I'd love to see you increase the main event buyin to £1,000, maybe a 7 card stud side event and a round of each hold'em/omaha would be great! I am more than willing to travel for festivals but wjhen the main is only £500 and a smallish field, it is a struggle to make it worth my time.

There are loads of 1k events in the UK Calendar so £500 is fine and that is the consensus amongst the majority on here.

Marketing is crucial, we need to know dates, structures, buy in's, satelite details.  These should be on frequently and well in advance of the main event. 

I get a regular mail shot from Gala Maybury but often find I get it a day before or 2 days after any events.  That is no good for me I need to arrange travel and possible days off work.

The structure could definitely bee doing with slowing down.  Give good structures and you will get more players.  We have so many options when it comes to playing poker.  If you dont give the players the structures we want then we simply wont play.  As it stands just now I dont go near Gala because of the structure on offer.

Looking at the tournament schedule for this year, albeit much to be added, I just don't see that many events £1k+. It's fair that there are a number of blondes who would like a £500 main event, but looking at the GUKPT, there is a clear demand in the wider poker community for main events of the bigger festival circuits to be £1k plus.

10% coming your way vinni lol


seriously though rather than give the seat to one individual blonde why not give to blonde as a whole and lets have a passworded freeroll for it (enter booder)
have us all sign up to the gala online site to play for it or play it on blonde.

just a thought

Funny you should say that.

Cough, Adam.

(various suggestions are with Gala!)

[TightEnd]

I can confirm that there will be a freeroll on Gala Poker for blonde members for a GBPT seat as a thank you for the feedback on this thread (rather than an individual winner of "best post")

Watch this space and we'll pop up details of the sign up link, password for the comp (ie members have to be registered to blonde already), date and time etc

Thanks to Gala for this.
