All new DTD Deepstack coming in june

[Ant040689]

I always laugh when people say "what time will it finish on Sunday"

If I was at a final table at 3-4am and walked away with 15bags+ then next day at work on no sleep would be an absolute breeze! Dreaming about spending the 15 bags!

I was actually referring to the new Sunday £100+R tourney.

I don't know about this. It's not a rebuy because you have to lose ALL of your starting stack before you can do a re entry, when conventionally you can just double rebuy from the start. The fact you have to lose the stack first is something i find quite interesting. Means the guys with deep pockets will probably eventually get their big stack but not before donating a hatful of chips in the process, whereas if it was an immediate double rebuy the guys with one bullet would really be in trouble.

I like the sound of this a lot and hope all works out. Possibly will be a logistical nightmare in the 100r though, when people want to re-enter.

The additional Day 1 interests me as someone who can't play the £300 for 7-8 months of the year on the Saturday.   If it's a 5pm start I can see it attracting a fair few players who'd like the option.

Hope it's a success.

I've just seen on the DTD website that the £100+R* starts at 2pm.

I'm very happy with that and can see no downside at all.

i 'm loving the idea of playing friday and if it all goes tits up getting another shot. its to my avdantage coz i can just win seats on line or buy in. but i can see the regular guy who works  a 5 day week see it being a disadvantage (just as multi entry on tilt gives the bigger rolled guys the advantage). i dont think this will stop any of em from playing. the best way for em to look at it is look at all the extra money that got put in yesterday. dtd is the best club in europe and i think anything they do should be encouraged and supported by the members here. think how you would feel if we did not have dtd or god forbid a casino chain took over. rob has given us something we should appreciate and you are never going to see anyone  honouring the gtd prizes for as long as dtd have. good luck to rob nick simon and the team

That I like immensely.

DTD can't do much wrong in my eyes, I support them through thick & thin such as time permits, but the WHOLE "special" thing about the monthly £300 for me was a 3pm or even 2pm start - THAT was what helped make it special. Almost a social event as much as a poker Tourney.

Anyway, hurray for the 2pm start on the Sundays, that ticks all my boxes. I wish it were this Sunday, in fact, as I could play this Sunday. I still will, probably, but I really don't much relish the 5pm starts. Just a personal thing, really, but I'd bet a £ to a pinch of shit that many feel the same.

I also much prefer the 2/3 start times. 5pm for me just feels so awkward as I can't commit to doing anything else for the day but have to sit around waiting until it's time to go to DTD.

+1 especially for those staying over in a hotel hanging around all day. the social side is the best bit. the couple of level between the breaks is often hard work

I can see the pros and cons of the earlier start.  A 5pm start allows people to fulfil other commitments on the Saturday (and now Friday) before the tournament starts (or get there a few levels in if necessary), but for others an earlier start means less waiting around.

[redsimon]

I'd prefer 5pm on Friday for the 300 (if I satty in!) so looks like a good idea, means can fit football in from August onwards. Wouldn't re-enter though.

[FUN4FRASER]

Love the two start dates /  re entry concept...In my opinion it will  add considerably to the prize pool and allow for some more creative/looser play.. especially on day one (Can you imagine what the table action will be like amongst  the  short stacks  with one/two levels to go on the Friday knowing they can re enter again the following day)

As regards the start time..Im a big advocate of The 2pm time because at 7/8pm you can potentially be chipped up or busto and if its the latter it will allow me/you to revist  a social engagement of old ( you remember before poker came along) A Friday/Saturday Night out with (non poker playing) friends....A welcome change at times Im sure you will all agree  

Anyway..A big well done to Simon/DTD for a new innovation in a world where change is constantly needed to keep things "Fresh"

Looking Forward to the New Format

Peace x

simon do you just play for one seat then when you got it dont bother again till next month. this is what i do but now i would be more tempted to win multiple seats like steve holden and pete wrigglesworth

Currently, yes. But may try for extra seats next week on. Can't play June as fly to Las Vegas on Day 2 (Not that I'll make Day 2 anyway)

Also, as a receational player I don't think I'd pump up prizepool even more for you sharks...

but if you have multiple seats for peanuts on your account you are gonna be more willing to just buy in again. it makes me want to play all the sats. this will take away most of the over lay in the sats now so has to be good long term for dtd. i aint stupid and love over lay as much as the next guy but like to see the bigger picture with dtd and in the long run what is good for dtd is good for me

[redsimon]

Good point about the on-line sats. Anyone know if the Golden Chip promo boosted field for this month (didn't get chance to play)?

the re-entry system has been used in newcastle since the start of the year in all 3 (aspers, stanley circus, G) and its been a really good thing for tournies up here. Pots have increased due to pretty much everyone busting early re-enterring. Its actualy not really like a normal re-buy, as if the player busts, they have to change their seat if they want to re-enter and its almost like a fresh start. (they also have to pay the REG fee again too) so in effect it is very similair to just buying in late to a tourney. I think surely this can only be a good thing for dtd, players who dont want to travel in fear of an early bust out now have a solution. More players = bigger pot = attracting even more players = bigger pot. People saying the finish time may be a bit too late - im sure DTD will be able to re-jig a few things IE start times/length of breaks if feel they need too.

It certainly seems worth a go to me
