Rob's PokerStars UKIPT £1M GTE Diary thread."28 Days Later" (crap film)

[George2Loose]

Could market a fairly turbo freeroll at around 10pm for all busts from day 1a - 10 seat guarantee re-entry for 1b

It would be like a poker repechage

n.b, if you like this idea, I wouldn't be too proud to accept a free entry to the tourn

no re-entries

MY ADVICE IS TO ENTER/CHANGE TO DAY WED 1A - THAT IS THE LUCKY DAY  

I am off to Dublin tomorrow to the Norwegian Championships - to try and recruit some Norwegians to the UKIPT

Club members have been moaning about the lack of live satelittes for the UKIPT, well, as promised here they are! Dates and times on this link http://www.dusktilldawnpokerclub.com/satellites/pokerstars-ukipt, I wanted the buy-ins to be as low as possible so as many club players as possible have the opportunity to have 1 or 2 bullets trying to have a shot at the £1M. They will be promoted in the club and if one more person asks me why we are not doing live satellites I may explode into dust!

Cheers Rob

P.S. asked about doing a "Day 1a promo", was thinking about offering anyone that played Day 1a got to the final a £6K CPP Package (would have cost approx 2-3 +seats based on the odds), but after disucssion, was seen as a little unfair on  players that can only make Day 1b and Day 1c, plus might chance play before final table

[BorntoBubble]

What about running some day 1a sats so seats can only be used for day1a mabye like a 10 seat guaranteed sat and as a promo the sat could have no reg fee? Or mabye an added seat?

[Mitch]

Give the player who last longest from day 1a a free shot at a HU game vs you. If he beats you, he gets £1k. Simples.

[Yian]

Running 1 extra online satellite a day with 1 seat added might work. Winners auto-entered into 1a. If you were thinking to give 2-3 CPP packages away at 6k each to boost wednesdays numbers, surely you wouldn't mind having 1 seat added to a few satellites. Although it should clearly state that the satellite is to day 1a ONLY and this is the reason for the extra seat added.

I'll play the Wednesday - if I make Day 2 that gives me a couple of days at home to rest and relax with the five Grandkids and the two dogs that will be visiting

Totally unveiled brag obviously - I binked a seat last night 

[MLHMLH]

I would have played 1a but it's my daughter's 18th on the 11th April (omg where did the time go?).

I'm feeling this! I won't be playing the UKIPT as taking my daughter to Venice for a short break that weekend, as when she comes back she is starting her GCSES and her last term of school - the past 16 years have flown by.

Surely a day 1A seat would be the perfect pressie?

It is really scary isn't it?!
