All new DTD Deepstack coming in june

[smashedagain]

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

tried and tested ftw

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)?

first 50 only who qualified got a chip but dont know how many usually win a seat on line for the deepstack. i never tried for a seat till last week and the chips had all been won by then. did notice avillan and semtex won multiple seats tho so dont know if they get another chip to roll over to next event or if it went to later qualifiers or the chip was void.

I presume any golden chip held only counts for your first entry and not the subsequent entry (unless you have 2 golden chips)

[X] Golden chip brag.

I had an email saying you can only win one Golden Chip per event. Even if you won a second you can transfer the seat but not the chip also. My guess is it only works for the first entry but ya never know.

so a guy gets a 2nd chip he dont get it and it goes to 51st to qualify. the re entry on a friday is this just for the first 6 lavels or can you try spin up the last level safe in the knowledge you can get back in saturday

Ultimately, you don't know there are going to be any golden chips next time, they might change the promotion.

If the golden chips were allowed to be carried over for multiple winners of them - then that would encourage the winners of them to pre reg for the next two-three months whatever - the way it is now that there is no incentive to carry the seat over for the following months and you might as well have the cash in your account.

All sat winners live/on-line should recieve a golden chip and you should be able to carry them over - would make more sense - it would encourage me to play the friday with a golden chip knowing that if i bust out i got another seat i could use with a golden chip.

As regards the two starting days - fantastic idea although should be 3pm start time bearing in mind that you got 6 levels to buy in would make it around 7.30pm cut off to buy in and most people finish early on the Friday anyway.

I hope it's a mega success ---- Keep up the good work Simon

Thanks for all the mostly positive comments, please keep them coming and tell everyone you know about this new format, it could turn our £300 Deepstack into a phenomenal monthly event.

I first saw this at xmas in Caesars and thought i was a great idea when a player on my table had his Aces cracked during the re entry period. In his case it was early on and his vacated seat was the only one available so he was reseated in it. It will work just like being a late registrant, once you get knocked out you go to cash desk re enter and get drawn to a new seat. If there are players already waiting you will be at the end of the line, we expect some players to get knocked out on the last hand of level 6 and they will still be allowed to re enter.

If you win more than one Deepstack satellite the second / third etc will be paid in cash to your account, you will then need to pay at the club for your day 1b entry.

Cheers

Hi Simon.

[Royal Flush]

I know we had a brief chat about this Si along with Nick and Rob, glad you have decided to go down this route and am even more pumped about the next 1k now

Is there still a live satelite for Deepstack?

[EvilPie]

Wasn't too sure about the Friday thing until something came up that I can't avoid on the Saturday.

You've got at least 1 extra entrant with the new concept. Hope it works out well.

There's now more than one, according to the flyer I saw on Sunday.

The main concern for me with this is that you are going to get all the good DTD players going to be in twice, but all the satellite qualifiers and Herbert's favourite, the idiot who has just got his salary, will only enter once. I think that this will toughen up fields even more than on FullTilt where a similar system operates.
