All new DTD Deepstack coming in june

[Ant040689]

i don't see why they dont do re entries for on the day as well, would make the whales play redic loose and make the game much more lively early on, meaning more value for those playing tight. Also would a third re-entry be allowed?

[  ] re-entry
[X] re-buy

hmm i guess, but this would be more a second chance sort of rebuy so in essence a re-entry as you have to lose all of your chips to get a new stack. That would actually play much looser than a rebuy tourn as those with half stacks would be looking just to shove and double or get out and make a re-entry so to speak.

You've lost me, oh wait....

Not sure on these changes. If it ain't broke- don't fix it. Think moving to two day 1's is a mistake. I like the atmos of 300 odd players on the Sat. Can't see the Friday being too popular

Usually at this time of year we drop the guarantee to £60,000 and still get approx 280 runners but for the last few months it has become obvious that the success of our event is being reduced by the flattery of duplication and other events clashing which has led to repeated overlays. Our choice is to just accept this and reduce the guarantee over summer or come up with a revised structure that prevents overlays, encourages travelling players especially the bigger bankroll willing to take a punt and make a weekend of it, improve the value for all the single bullet players and increases the size of the fields resulting in a must play event and we hope this new format will do that.

Not that it matters to anyone except blonde, but its a pain from an update planning point of view. Expenses higher, for a start

I like the ambition though. Surely though everyone will just play Saturday? Or will some of you play Friday and do family stuff on the Saturday?

How many would pony up £300 for a re-entry?

I hope what every poker player appreciates is that we take on challenges and risk guarantees no one else would. I expect the majority will play Saturday but that Friday will become more popular as the word spreads.
From an updating point of view you could pick up the event from Saturday onwards and keep your readers happy.

Good luck with this Simon.

I have no idea how it will pan out, but if you don't try.....

Rubbish decision imo. I wouldn't play the friday, knowing that i may have to go back on the sunday. And obviously wouldn't re-enter. Would be good for some people though.

Rubbish decision is a little harsh, let's see if it works first.

The Friday is not meant for you, it is for players that either can't make it Saturdays and that is all that has stopped them playing previously, also for deeper pockets that travel to the club, take a bad beat early on and are happy to re enter for a sceond chance. The higher the buy in at Dusk Till Dawn the further players travel, currently 85% of the field come from further than 40 miles away. However, imagine you have a function to go to on Saturday but would normally play the Deepstack, well now you can and if you make day 2 and have a shot at £30,000+ i am sure you won't mind coming back.

Absolutely, the willingness to maintain guarantees and constantly innovate does set DTD apart, and I think is widely appreciated

Good luck with it

Can see this going really deep on Sunday now. 2 day 1's plus 6 levels late reg plus re-entries? Obv depends on runners but the days of midnight finishes on the Sunday just died I think...

If we get 334 players over the 2 day 1's the comp will still finish between 12 and 1, even with 500 it would be finished by 3.30am, earlier if there is a deal.

Think it's a brave effort to try something different.
Not sure how it will go, but good luck with it.

Thankyou, we wont know unless we try.

We did consider this but think it is too big a change to make, we will of course listen to player feedback after the first one and see if it would be an improvement. The £100 side event on Sunday will have re entry for the first 6 levels, and yes, you can re enter more than once.

[DTD-ACES]

If you satty in twice are you allowed to use both chances for the same event?

Yes

I've learnt not to argue with you over structure timings, you never get it wrong so as an updater this makes me feel a little better!

Will you be sticking to the 5pm starting time for all of these events Simon as Sunday especially could last a fair bit longer than previously?

I probably sound stupid but doesn't that make the £100 basically a £100 rebuy if you can buy in more than once for 6 levels?
These changes definatly seem to cater the bigger pockets and not the regular grinders
Good luck though
