DTD Grand Prix VII: Supersized

[aggers]

Oh that's you! I was two to your right. I like your game plan. Sit sit sit sit treble up sit sit sit get AA v KK and KK treble up again :-)

Patience is key. Good luck

It's a nice game plan when the luck's there (especially when it happens against people limping big hands.... )

Good luck next week

got to dtd about 3.30pm as doors were opening for 4pm, Firstly the big Grand Prix sign outside the club Had the wrong dates  on the poster, and there was a few people mulling around as they were sent an e-mail saying comp starts at 3pm, just thought i would mention this.

Will playing later in the week. 

Can I buyin at the club over the counter?  Or do I have to go through the online route?

over the counter fine as long as spaces the day you wish to play,

Ty, playing midweek so shouldn't be a problem.

Will the blinds still be 2500/5000 A500 on day2?
Think it might be a different comp but I remember them knocking the levels back a few, also is it 40 min clock?

They wound the blindes back in the GP earlier in the year, but in the last one they didn't

I noticed the error on the sign outside too.

I think a few things will contribute to lower numbers this time - the buy-in of £100 is okay but with it being a re-entry tourney, many will budget for £200 which is quite an outlay for many recreational players. The time of year with school holiday just starting won't have helped. Promotion seemed a bit patchy for this in my view, compared to usual and I - and this may seem a little thing, but I think having Simon Trumper building up the excitement beforehand and being at the event helps enormously. This time, with the WSOP beforehand and Simon playing at other poker rooms on the day, I don't think the event had the usual big build up although I could be imagining this.

I actually liked the re-entry format, as long as its limited to a single extra bullet each day (as this was).

Still expecting good numbers, but the guarantee does look like it could mean an overlay.

Perhaps the best approach would be to have six day ones, Fri/Sat/Sun across two weeks, with the Day 2/3 on the third weekend?

Grand Prix or Grande Price?
