DTD: Caribbean Poker Party

[robyong]

Hi MC, its very child family in terms of the room layouts (most have 2 children beds + 2 adult kings) its a family type hotel, plus our package is fully inclusive for 2 adults + 2 kids under 16. Alex is planning to do kids activities in the day if people take them, once we know numbers we can do an intinery for kids etc There is NO POKER till 5pm, so we are really going to try and make this a holiday for people as much as a poker event.

Cheers Rob

How child friendly is this place? Anyone thinking of taking their kids?

If fine for kids... we took our 6month old in 2006 for the CPC and it was great (although we were given a suite by WH due to my rakeage at the time i think and they knew I was taking jnr)   Lots of choice on food and nice quiet safe spot.  Baby sitter was refferenced by the hotel and came every night for not many $.  She was a devout Christian and I'm not sure she approved of gambling...I had a result out there and tipped $100 on the last night and she came back next day saying I'd given her a ton acciidently instead of $10

We have had a lot of players inquiring about taking kids so should be enough for childrens activities in the day. If you want to check with us nearer the time before you book we will always be happy to let you know how things are looking number wise if this helps your decision to bring them.

Cheers

Nicola

Thanks....now got to somehow change the dates of a family tree type reunion or risk being alienated by my family forever - sure I can sort it somehow :-)

Are Dusk chartering a flight for this trip or is it a make your own way situation? It says £700 for flights - Surely 2 people, for example, couldn't fly for there for £700 total?!

[action man]

bang up for this.

bang up for this.

Sigh. It is meant to be aimed at Dtd regs, not just the cherry pickers

Surely it's the exact opposite, it's a brill way of getting lots of new players playing the online Sats.

Hi guys, these online satelittes will start after the UKPIT, we are going to be designing their format over next couple of weeks, if anyone has any cool ideas (haha, value hunters....NOT a €10 freezout with 100 x £6k seats GTE!!!!!!!!!!) please suggest, for this level of buy-in Pokerstars tend to do lots of feeders into a weekly or monthly final, i really want to make these seats as assessable as possible, so any feedback would be great. For example, we could follow our Deepstack feeder tree structure, with mini feeders and feeders running into an evening freeze out that then went into a weekly final for x seats...I have never played the EPT satelittes, maybe someone who is used to them could suggest what we could do? Im pretty open, we have had loads of queries about this CPP, I think players like the idea we are not just making it a poker comp, with all the other activities we are planning etc Cheers Rob (we will do live sats nearer the time, but lets sort the online ones out first!)

Thanks for replying Rob, sounds very tempting!

Personally I wouldn't be playing any satellites with only 1 seat guaranteed.

I would like to see something like

Hourly €10 feeders to
Nightly €50F/€20R 5 seats gteed to
Weekly €200F 8 seats gteed to
Monthly €1000 5 packages gteed

Needs a bit of tweaking on the numbers but I think it works roughly if you can get a nightly turnout of 20 runners?
