BoylePoker International Poker Open 2009

[CelticGeezeer]

I am still unimpressed messing with the starting stack size for people who pay the same entrance fee sets a very poor precedence and I think it will adversely affect the number of entries that you will get.

Hi, we are already off to a flying start with registrations. Last year on day 1 of promotion we had one player registered. Yesterday, after a few hours, we had ten players regsitered. I expect this event to be full within the next four to six weeks and possibly sooner than that. When you think about it that is pretty amazing for a tournament that takes place in Ocotber.

The first and foremost thing we want to do here is make sure that every single player has a fantastic time and experiences the best tournament they've ever taken part in...Secondly Boylepoker.com, knowing that the demand is there for well over the 1,300 players that we achieved last year, want to give players an incentive to try out their site (and they're only asking you to try it out a very little bit) in return for investing their time, effort and money into this festival.

This offer is specifically designed to make it just the right amount of chips where it's fairly easy to obtain on Boylepoker and enough to justify putting the effort in...But on the other hand its not enough to make it stupidly unfair to anyone who doesn't play a bit.

I definitely hope to see you there Geezer but if you choose not to play because of this we won't have trouble filling your seat

Cheers,

I have a good marketing idea, how about for next year if you pay so much rake for 6 months you actually get three hole cards ?

[StuartHopkin]

Thanet or Dublin?

Oh yeah, and do players get a special rate at the regency hotel during the event?

I phoned up today (tried to book online but no dice) and got quoted 89 euros per night for a twin room, no idea what normal rate is though.

€89 for a twin room is pretty standard in Dublin...If anyone is on a tight budget I would recommend the Express Holiday Inn. Its about a fifteen minute walk from the Regency Hotel and is in a great location itself.

no idea if I'm going to play but have booked flights anyway as they're only 4 quid a pop. may just go to watch the arguments over starting stacks

There will be no arguments I promise you that, everyone will know where they stand before they arrive to play poker...We're a well organised bunch when it comes to running a little poker tournament .

Cheers,
Stephen.

Unfortunately I've never seen her. I believe she's a bit of a hound though so in that case no, definitely not Susan Boyle.

Trust me mate they were tight.

So long as you bring Jen Mason with you I will make sure there are lots of pretty Irish girls .

Hi guys, we are one day into the promotion campaign and we (at this moment in time) already have 44 players fully registered.

This is scaring me a little bit (in a good way). I am planning to travel all over Ireland for the whole of next week (and the week after if necessary) to make sure that every player possible knows about this event and knows that they have to book [SIZE="3"]NOW[/SIZE] to make sure they get a seat.

At this rate (one day for 50 odd registrations) we will have this tournament sold out before the end of July...And although I'm not laying any bets or anything on this I am deadly serious about that prediction (and I've a really good track record on this kind of thing).

Please please please register early to avoid disappointment. Our International/European marketting campaign is going to kick off properly early next week too so the rate of registration will really take off from there.

We really want to make sure we get a very healthy UK contingent travelling over to Dublino this year, to show you guys how to have a proper drink (we drink pints over here, not halves ) and a proper good night out if you get knocked out of the tournament .

Cheers,
Stephen.

IMPORTANT SENSIBLE NON MOANING QUESTION!

Do you have to register for the comp then earn the VIP points?

Or can you earn them and then register?

I have no problem regging as soon as i have booked flights and hotels tomorrow but I appear to now be responsible for 12 poker playing monkeys and I need to know how to direct them.
