DTD £300 23rd Aug

[Splash]

Looking to play the D T D Deepstack £300 Event and thought I'd try this.

Willing to release up to 50%, with a minimum per individual of 10%.....10% investment will cost 10% of the buy-in.

Spent most of the bank roll on home improvement and holidays   .... so £300 is a touch more than i'd like to part with in one chunk at the moment.... although i'll prob play it anyway.

Mainly play cash but to be honest my MTT results are prob  better even though I only tend to play 3 or 4 a week online.  This year I've won the Will Hill Super Series 7.5k added for £5000 from a £35 buy in and final tabled in it a few times.  Lost count of the number of times I've won/cashed in the daily £1k or £1.5k gnted on Crypto... most weeks at least once or twice.

Live... don't venture out much but I've scratched my head and come up with every casino event i've played in live i think... and I'm cashing at about 50% so far ....  the 3 big ones were entered via Sat wins.  I'm final table 4 from 6 attempts at D T D since it opened.
 
Anyway here they are.....

Not sure this is a plus point or not but Barry Neville said I was "bloody useless" at D T D in the £75 FO last Friday... about 3 hrs before I took it down (and no I didn't suck him out)

Why cant you just buy in yourself if you won £1,748 last friday?

[NoflopsHomer]

It's £500 btw.

The Saturday event is £300... cant play on the Friday.   And in answer to the question on why I can't pay myself in from the win on Friday ... I could.  But having a two yr old, a giant mortgage and a wife thats working only part time a chunk of it has already been 'reallocated' .   

Like I said I prefer not to stump up the full £300 from a depleted bank roll but will do if all else fails. Risk management

Unfortunately the £300 is probably going to have a lot less runners than the one they do at the 3-2-1 weekend.

There probably won't be much value available as it's too close to the £500. You're probably looking at 50 ish runners paying top 5 or 6 which isn't very tempting as far as staking goes.

You'll do better if you can change your plans and do the £500. That would be a far more appealing staking prospect imo.

Sadly I can't make the £500, otherwise I would.

Don't be too sure about that. The 3pm start will be too early for many players on the friday, so there will be lots that will come for the £300 instead, that and the fact that it is a 2 day event rather than a 4 day event for the £500. I'm local and if I play any event it will be the £300.

Yep fair point.

I'll be very interested to see how this whole weekend goes.

All fair points here. They seem to have missed a trick here, surely the 300 could  be removed, and make the 500 a 3 day event. even with the extended clock and extra 5k chips i cant see this taking 32 hours to finish even if theres 200 runners.

Sweepstake anyone

£500 - 114 runners
£300 - 68 runners

Best bet I think would've been £500 on Friday to Monday, £100 on Saturday (1 night) and then £300 Sunday / Monday.

Maximum entries all round but unfortunately no omaha.

Sorry for the thread jack Mr OP

your dreaming if you think the £500 will get 114 runners, Ill take under 100 runers and you can have 100 and over for £200?

[StuartHopkin]

£50 and your on.

Dont really fancy crashing out the sattelite on Thursday, buying in friday and losing all 15k in the first level on friday and then having sit and wait till the end of level 2 to pay you another £200 because there were only 5 runners!

Lol

The 321 £300 is the one with the guarantee Dewi.
