[Laxie]

Glass of wine raised to ya this minute from the quiet of County Cork.  Sounds like you're more on track than I expected.  Really truly want ye to smash the record and hoping for nothing but the best for ye.  xx

Hi All

On Monday we will reset the Grand Prix buy in at €66 , usually any events are set up a month in advance and left with the chance of small fluctuations but clearly in this case where there has been a 5% swing it is too much , the actual rate today is 1.146 so buy in should be €66.5 . all those that paid €70 will receive a €4 refund.

Cheers

Now please do me a big favour, get bought in because I have got roped into £14k of side bets on us beating the record (which was 730 when I made the bet), but it is now 848, like a plonker I did not specify the amount, just to beat the record, and when I spoke to Pokerstars, they only had 178 entered in the EPT London, and said they were worried whether they would even hit 500 (due to all events before theirs in London), so i never thought to specifiy the bet to 738!


Cheers Rob

Just get Matt to the club a bit more on your table at the £2/5 cash games and you'll get that money in no time

I've learnt to never take out moire than 1k when I'm going to be drinking insane amounts of alcohol.

He'll have to get me there 14 times.

I'm not sure why entry is not also available via the DTD shop online.

After all it does state there that you must have a DTD online cardroom account when registering.

Hi Ralph

Its due to the payouts we can only pay players who have registered via the poker room, the shop is ran via our own bank.

cheers

Nick, or anyone , can someone just clarify something for me with payment for 3 of my lazy sods of mates who are part of the 5000 database (plus 70 miles distance) but at the moment cant be ##### to enter online and to be honest I cant really be arsed to keep pushing them.

I understand they can use paysafe to pay, but what happens to any winnings if they use that method, what do they withdraw winnings from their online account to? The paysafe Card?  I dont know, I dont know how that works.

Also if i do finally get them register and you beat the record by 1 or 2 what percentage of the 14k you win in side bets can i claim  

All the best with the attempt Rob, really love coming to the club even if it is only once or twice a month at best and as a definite recreational fish of a player its great to get a low buy in deepstack 2 day event that is only really offered elsewhere by APAT, but with the guarantee on offer to me at a 50-100 quid level it HAS to be THE tournament to play this year  

I have enough shite trying to organise a pub tourney every couple of weeks so cant imagine the stress organising something 1000 fold bigger.

It surprised and disappointed me the amount of apathy I got locally in direct opposition to my own enthusiasm when i said you need to buy in online, something that has never been a problem for me personally and indeed my preferred method living so far away in ensuring that I dont miss out by finding out a tourney is full by the time i get to Nottingham  (Nothing ever beats receiving your winnings over the counter mind!!).  If someone can clarify account withdrawal procedure if paying by paysafe I will throw the paysafe option at them this week as a last attempt after that I will give up and just attend by myself.

[geordieneil]

is there any plans for online sats to this? havent seen any.   surely would get the numbers up

Satalites to a £50 game? I really don't see there being much interest tbh mate.

Why not???   Apat do sats to their £75 events

Sky to sats to SPT events, they even do £2 super sats to the sats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it increases numbers why not?

Hi Ralph

cheers

why do the payouts have to be online though? is the answer as simple as the fact that you won't be holding the cash because people aren't using it to buyin?

and a question for you or rob. I understand rob's reasoning for not wating people buying in at the club on the day but would it not be possible if you do anything similar in the future to allow cash buyins at the club but with a cutoff date that's the same as the one online so you know how many you're catering for?

FWIW i find it more of a pain going to a cash point and withdrawing cash, then waiting in a Q for 10 minutes to buy in at the desk. When i can deposit money online and just click an entry in about 1 minute 13 seconds and spend the time i saved productivly.
