I agree played I'n Manchester last night and all said no were not bothering as with expenses and time off work will become 1200 minimum float . Shame as was good tour at a working mans buy I'n . So will all most be defo playing genting tour
You say it will be £1200 min float so whats the min float do you think for the Genting Tour??? not much differant imo At least you have a better chance on Poker Stars of winning a seat/package for not a big outlay, not much chance on Genting if you take a proper look. When the Genting Tour was talked about months ago it was so called their to attracted grass roots players.... So if you don"t win a seat,get sponsered or just got loads of spear cash how can you do the tour  Live sats at Genting clubs and online sats for both packages and just seats: http://www.gentingpokerseries.com/qualify/online-satellites/and some promos...  http://www.gentingpokerseries.com/qualify/promotions/ |

Some of the genting dates go head to head with Dtd deepstack. Need to get organised with dates for ukipt gukpt genting and Dtd. Love playing twice a month but having to play more feels like a job and diminishes the enjoyment for me. So good to have competition tho and looks like genting are making a massive effort. Southend and Edinburgh won't get decent fields surely. Would expect Stoke, star city and Sheffield to sell out fast and be in big demand.

I agree Jason edingburgh expensive and southend is a long drive . Star city stoke and Sheffield should be ok . 2013 is when genting are hopefully opening a brand new casino on Salford dock so mcr could get 1 at a latter date

Southend has a tiny room for poker and is stuck in a sort of basement with no windows etc. Awful choice and I speak as someone for whom that casino is my "local". Why would you possibly pick that as a location?

Is Edinburgh still expensive when the fringe isnt on?
Id imagine itll get a few hundred locals + players from Glasgow/Dundee/Aberdeen

Look for apartments. I've stayed at some in Edinburgh and Cardiff for poker in the past and they're ideal and relatively inexpensive.

It is in a basement at sea level but the card room itself has ample space for 12-13 tables its not the old card room which was as described, still a rubbish choice in terms of numbers as if you go back through the festival threads over the past 3years they cant even get more than 30 runners for a £150-£250 f/o so i doubt too many locals will be involved. |

they were FORCED to increase the buyins, its old school supply and demand, the prizepools will not be dented by this in the slightest the main problem is only two or three venues in the country can support the volume at it's current growth rate
This just isn't true. Just because it is wildly successful does not mean that you ahve to raise the buy in; they want to raise the buy in to make more money but run the risk of changing the whole nature of the tour. Once you nup the buy in more you cut out the casual player who realistically knows they will not win. The onlien qualifiers decrease as less seats are available for the same amount. Many of the pros do not turn up because there is no longer the same value of casual players who are basically added value.
It does not compute that just because you ahve a successful 550 series that will sell out that you will have a successful 770 series. I might direct buy in to a 550. I wouldnt for a 770. It is over a threshold of what I am prepared to pay. One season the ept upped its buy ins to 8k. The next year they were down to 5k cause there were a fall in numbers.

I fed back these comments to the powers that be. With the timely acquisition of the Fox Club in London, it has been decided to move this leg of the tour from Southend to the Fox club. Should get a good turn out there. |

That's great news right there Karl and shows just how good Genting are going to be whilst listening to those in the know.
Just get Edinburgh moved to Manchester and move a couple of dates so not to clash with Dtd deepstacks then I reckon Genting could have the most successful tour of 2012 and have no overlay at all in the comps.
