OK Value added... Just bought in... tried to be a skinty flinty last night and qualify for a fiver...

Breezed through the the first one which was absolute comedy as everyone was either Tighty's Zen master or couldnt wait to call the lot off on a gut shot..

Highlight of the evening was calling a small raise in position level 2 with 45 H ... flop 245 rainbow  check raise the original allin and he insta calls with 80% of his stack remaining with A 10 o/s.... fell off chair laughing when he gave me rub down for calling pre flop...

3 cold decks saw to me fairly early in the final... but gave me an indication of what to expect from the average Sky qualifier on Saturday... When you hear the howl of anguish half way through level 3 that will be me...

If they have 250 runners my guess 35 gone before level 2..when ur used to 5 second sky blinds an hour and a half is gonna be eternity...

If Sky are monitoring the thread plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz just once can you put my name down as IAN  not Terry?

I'll get this sorted for you Ian.  Too many times I see companies getting this sort of detail wrong and it does nothing to promote the market leading customer service tag that all poker sites are seeking to achieve.

Cheers Terry.

al5151ter5na5te4s fo3r 6fir8st9 8742 l4e5b4el15s?6

Is it wrong that I understood this?

I would like to say it was my son who was messing with the keyboard but it was my hilarious wife

So, repeat the question please, Mr B. Unless it's one of your bad-beat tales, in which case, please spare me. Wink

lol plz let me not become infamous for being a bad beat whinger!!! I've given up telling stories- I promise!!!

My question was re alternates- same rule as any other DTD event (first two levels)

Alternates.

Yes, Alternates, as per normal DTD custom, WILL be allowed for the first two Levels.

However.......

No player will be accepted onto the Alternate List unless they ALREADY have a Sky Poker Account, & they will need to provide their Screen-Name before being accepted as an alternate.

There will be no exceptions to this.

So if you plan to try & enter as an alternate, you'd best open a Sky Poker Account now. Use the blonde Link, please - Kinboshi or Tighty will put up the Link shortly.

I think all questiions have now been answered.

And if Colchester Mug comes on again & asks if players can be paid in Cash, he's dead. Seriously dead. This thing is gonna plague me like Moving The Short-Stack plagued dear AdamM.

Bear in mind there will be a lot of players there who haven't really played live before, who will have travelled across the country to get there, won't want to bust out early and have 10k chips at 25/50.

There won't be many alternates getting in.

Also bear in mind there will be a lot of DTD regulars playing as well.

If anyone is yet to book accommodation, I have a room at the Belfry that I can no longer use, double room for Friday 12th and Sat 13th Room only rate £105 Total for the stay.

Please let me know if your interested,  sadly it's a non refundable rate so I really do need to sell this on.

I'll be talking to Sky, & to DTD, on Thursday, but if my calcs are correct, we now have 253 runners (209+22+10+7+5), which leaves just 17 seats available. There is one last Online Super-Sat on Thursday night which will generate a bunch of Seats, so the Event is now almost sold out, as Seats will need to be held back for the Super-Sat.

So if you want a Seat, watch this Thread on Thursday, an Update will be Posted.
