Well done to everyone that won a seat.

I guess it was only a matter of time till we got our "fingers burnt" having a punt at big GTE's over the past 12 months.............it's been getting more and more "additive" putting up these big online and live GTE's, on this occasion we had to add just over £15,000 to make up the 50 seats - the average spend was actually okay at £145 - we just got 130 less runners than the previous 20 euro RB 50 seat GTE which got 400, maybe the size of buy-in put a few people off.


Never mind - it's a small cost compared to the governments New Poker Tax LOL

PS. Now we have had our backsides spanked...please rake a few quid on DTD so we can pay the water rates next week LOL



Scrap the rake and turn the water off imo.

Seriously though I'm sure that a lot of revenue was missed out by the insane add on period.

The add on box flashed up and you got about 10 seconds to click that you wanted one then it was too late, you'd missed it.

15 seconds later the 5 minute break starts.

I checked the before and after chips and I estimated about 70 people took add ons out of the 199 still in. I'm sure that a lot more wanted the add on especially as it was for 3000 chips when the average was only 4900.

Other than that it was perfect.

Cheers.

the add on problem in the last tournament was pretty much the reason I didn't play last night tbh.

I'd been pre warned so I was prepared.

I didn't expect it to be that quick though. Definitely needs sorting.

Would also be an idea to turn off the chat boxes when it gets down to 60 runners.

The amount of people telling everyone to "slow down" or "just pass" was embarrassing tbh. Ridic amount of collusion.

At least it let you know who were the weak asses. Made blind stealing very easy  Smiley

Yeah - a tournament where 3/4 of the field had under 3BB isn't poker.

I wish I had 3BBs! I was in full squeak mode from 70 runners down.

The whole tournament I was confused about when rebuys were for, when you could add-on could you double rebuy to start etc, and I couldn't find any info anywhere. Somehow managed to have no problem with the add on but it was at a weird time before the end of the level. Very confusing, and with all the stalling at the end in 2 orbits I went from an 18 big bet stack to a 3 big bet stack. Am intrigued to see what it's like to play a 5 day tournament; probably alot of :   


You cant but lol at some of the strategy in that sat aswell, seemed very good value Smiley

To be fair all the poker was played in the first 4 hours. Anybody not aware of the need to set themselves up for the frenzy at the end hadn't checked the blind levels.

If they made the blind levels a bit friendlier we'd still all be there now waiting for the next cooler to knock someone out. 5 hours is plenty long enough for a sat starting at 8.30 in the evening.

I didn't quite realise how epicly people would stall and so early, it just reduced you to shoving any opportunity because you were seeing so few hands.
