I'm out, managed to get 90,000 chips in on a flop of
holding
, 3 way pot and 3 bet pre, check raised all in and got called by
...............previous to that lost a 80k pot with
v
, all in preflop, i think I may not have adjusted to their structure that well!
Actually, I had fun although not a initial fan of the structure, this would have been a good comp if;
1. Poker 770 had not changed the date 5 times and then set a date with only 3 weeks notice!
2. Had put a GTE of greater that £0 on it
3. Had had a quicker clock on Day 1's, then reverted to 77 minutes on day 2
4. Advertised the event in decent media
5. Ran a decent satelitte program on Ipoker for last 3 months
6. Sent us some branding earlier than 2 weeks before the event
I guess they will get 200-250 runners so a £100k ish prize pool, their qualifiers and pros/vip players are in tomorrow's Day 1b, but this could have been such a better attended event if they had done any of the above, which we advised them from the outset.
