In! It's a 25 NOT a 20+ 5. Imagine rake will be standard DTD rake. I live 40 mins away 28 miles but reckon its got to be worth the trip as long as finish time ends up being reasonable. 7pm start might be better with late reg.

Says it needs 250 runners to cover the £5k guarantee.

At £25 it looks like £20 + £5

I'm not complaining btw just pointing it out for Junior and Smashed.

Am I right in thinking if it gets 201 runners then we would pay £5 rake between all of  us?
I am more than happy to pay the rake my treat.

Can you see it getting 200 runners average 4 or 5 school nights a week. I think Dtd are taking a risk but then again they always seem to get there.

I can't see 100 players being done by 2am let alone 200.

"Dusk Till Dawn Club will deduct 10% from the total number of entries X buy-ins as its fees (for comps at buy-ins less than £50, there will be a minimum deduction of £5 per for 1 day tournament and £10 for a 2 day+ tournament)"

I think  if you combined the old 50 + 15 tourneys you wouldn't be too far off.

No you'd pay £25 between you.

It's the prize pool that's guaranteed so 200 runners at £25 each = £5k

201 runners = £5k prize pool + £25 to DTD

250 runners = £5k prize pool + £1250 to DTD

251 runners = £5020 prize pool + £1255 to DTD

Basically the prize pool doesn't change up to 250 runners. It's rake free up to 200 runners + an overlay which is fantastic for players.

From 200 to 250 runners 100% of contributions go to DTD so this is a bad time for the players.

251+ It's back to normal with £20 going to the prize pool and £5 to DTD.

Whatever way you look at it it's good for the players. £5 for an evening's entertainment with the potential to win £1.5k is pretty incred.

You can't look at a £20 live comp as anything other than recreational so the rake % is pretty much irrelevant.

Yeah that's a very good point to be fair

Guys, here is the full schedule for May http://www.dusktilldawnpokerclub.com/schedules/may-2012.pdf.

- the new XXL 25 should finish around 2am with 200 runners, start at 7.30pm, is the WSOP structure less 5 levels but with 25-50 and 75-150 added, so 3 levels difference, all the WSOP levels after level 17 are in the XXL 25, so it's an excellent evening structure IMO, lets see how it plays

- in advance of the WSOP £500 Warm Up event, we are running a £150 Deepstack for next 3 weeks £50K gte, using the WSOP main event blind structure with 30,000 chips, and also every Sunday, we will be running a Super 50 with the WSOP main event structure and 15,000 chips, 2pm start.

To promote our WSOP Warm up in June, I have tried to stay as close to their structure as possible whilst getting comps finished at a reasonable time. Here is the WSOP Warm Up info http://www.dusktilldawnpokerclub.com/events/wsop-warm-up-weekend.

Please post any questions/comments on here and I will answer/discuss

Cheers Aces
