new tour in the uk and ireland

[DaveShoelace]

These will be great value events no doubt, tons of online qualifiers. Bit suprised at the buy-ins, especially the DTD one being 500 squid. Hopefully we can use FFPs or W$ to buy into them.

UKIPT Scotland  TBC TBC TBC........

I see that they have picked up on the local tradition of minimum publicity.


(It would be great to see a big event in the Glasgow Alea - upstairs and downstairs they could get in 200 I think)

thry need 200 to make the GTD
but i think it will be 2 start days so that will solve that problem

Yes 2 start days 300+

Altho I wonder what UK casinos think about Kremsers dealers.  They might be ok for the tourney, but I doubt they would allow them to deal cash games.

Swweeeettttt

Yeah, shame about the buy-ins though

Why is that ?

Just thinking that the tourney would be a private event, but cash games would involve the casino's own money, so I doubt that they would want non-employees having anything to do with it.

balla mc. taste for the big time have we?

[action man]

PLEASE. can we just have one "tour" that everyone attends plz.

[Wingdings2]

This looks great, off to start climbing the STEPS.

Never been to Ireland, really fancy Galway in December.

[DaveShoelace]

The more I think about it, the better I think this tour will be, simply because of the online qualifiers that will come with it. Hello Italian players, welcome to DTD, make yourselves comfortable. I still think and hope that the GUKPT will still be the premier poker tour in the UK, it still has the added value of the champ of champs too. This tour is probably not the best news for the Gala tour, but overall its good for UK poker as it seems that the £100-£500 level is the one that will get the most bums on seats.

Also, if this tour is anything like some of the other local pokerstars tours, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 'High Roller' side event on some of the stops, most notably DTD.

[Longy]

How can it fail? It has stars behind it, hopefully get a few of the "team pokerstars" attending as well.

[Cf]

I like the buyin levels for these. Might try and play the DTD one.

Would be nice to see a tour come to Leeds though. Alea could easily sit the required number of players.

[outragous76]

This looks great!

Agreed.  The Gala tour was dead after this year anyway.

SPT is going to Alea Glasgow, to answer someone who wanted a tour to go there

There's a real issue of management commitment to poker at Alea Leeds, as I found when I wanted to take the SPT there.


I think the UK Live tour scene looks incredibly healthy

For the recreational players you have the up to £100 buy ins of SPT, APAT, DTD 20-20 and the likes of Virgin and PKR events

Up to £500 you have festival side events, DTD monthlies, Gala, now the Stars Tour

£1000 GUKPTs, some Stars events

EPT once a year at £5k


Stars have a huge headstart in their captive player base for sat qualifiers and marketing monies, GUKPT and DTD are entrenched, the one that must be vulnerable is the Gala Tour, again
