Hi All

Details of our latest deepstack event.

[   ] deepstack
[ x ] crapshoot

Won't be venturing down for this myself. Bit too far for a £50 comp where I'd have to pay the same in expenses. Be interested to see how it goes though, especially with that structure.

I think for 50 quid you're getting huge value. Think the buy in should have a bearing on the structure so obv you pay 300 quid you get a 45 min clock, 100 quid 30 min clock, 50 quid 24 min clock. It will obv be a shoot but this is more to do with live player's inability to readjust rather than the structure/clock

Sigh

This happened on Monday night
11 left
Average is 58k
I have 125k

No one adjusts and the blinds are huge and the bubble goes on for over 2 levels.

[X] I re-adjust obv cus Im the greatest

Yeah think you will get a few more from further a field.

Think I will be playing Sunday.

Can I ask why the 24 minute clock and not the 30 used in the 20/20 and £150 deepstacks?

Surely it makes little difference to costs and an hour or so to the finisht time but would give that extra bit of play in the tournament.

Because it's only £6 to play innit bro. Get a few knocked out a bit earlier and they play the other comps or maybe cash.

This is not DTD being sneaky it's just pure economic sense. Everyone paying £6 each for a comp that will potentially last 12 hours is fantastic value.

I have the same complaint as Stu. The 20:20 has shown that a 30 minute clock can get through a 270 strong field in one day. So why not go with that?

Sigh.....

It's the juice that provides the value not the buy in you big numptys.

£6 for a 270 field 12 hour long comp is good value. Probably better value than the £36 you pay for the £300 to be fair but that's just my opinion.

The club provides dealers for the duration of the comp. The juice has to cover this. at £6 per head I wouldn't think there's a hope in hell of this comp covering itself hence DTD are providing good value.

Hi Stuart

Two reasons.

1. The reg fees on the £100 and £150 are £12 and £18 respectively whereas on the Super 50 is only £6 which means we will be running it at a loss.

2. This event could prove to be very popular and if so we want the flexibility to be able to raise the cap .

Thanks guys for two spot on answers.

The value to the players will be shown when it reaches the 270 cap - and I don't think the snow will keep people away.

[Blatch]

Simon whats DTD's payout strcuture for this?  I.e. what % does 1st prize get assuming it makes the cap of 270?

[Claw75]

I'll be up for this too

[DaveShoelace]

And personally I think super 50 is a rubbish name. Surely 50/50 would have been better?!?!?!

I'd call it the fiddy/fiddy

Completely acceptable answers Simon, and Im not questioning the value of the comp at all.

I didnt expect the 6 min difference to make a noticeable difference to the dealer cost or rake taken on the cash games.
I tried to work it out on a spreadsheet but your skills surpass mine as I just got into a mess!

[K9sixtwo]

30 mile radius??.... There's 8 of us coming up from Cambridge.. Good value comp, lots of runners in the best Poker venue in the country.. Cant go wrong IMHO

[Mitch]

George, the twenty twenty name is because of the guarentee not the buy in, would you rather it be 'The Ten Ten'!?. Sounds pretty panty-tastic
