DTD £500 Deepstack: £500,000 Guaranteed: blonde sweats

[aaron1867]

The cap is 33 each day, so to round it upto 1000 anyway, 1000x50 = £500k

If DTD does not each it will the guarantee be changed? Also, will there will alternates if days sell out?

No more monthly 500's? Is this something to do with the GPS?

[The Lad]

Yeah they need at least a 300 once a month.  No point for people driving for over 90 mins for a 150.

just put the £300's back on once a month with the old 80k gtd at least?

btw has the DTD thread been removed?

Trying to streamline the DTD presence on here, and the info in there duplicates what is posted on the individual threads

I think its a combination, for the time being, of not wanting to put big events on during the summer months when a lot of the travelling pros are in Vegas and just 3 Deepstacks rolled into one really, easier to avoid clashes with all extra events in UK, so might was well just do a big one every few months

In terms of monthly events, DTD are skipping summer 500 cause of Vegas, then relaunching with a biggie. DTD couldn't make a 150k gte in June, never mind July and august.

What happens after the first £500 Mega, in the autumn is still open I would think so the feedback above is useful.

SWEET!

get your eyes and hands off the top prize... other people deserve some ££'s before you get another chunk! tyty

and yeah this sounds awesome! really hope they keep the monthly 500 tho...

Not keen on the final being on Monday at 2.30pm, people can't guarantee they will get time off work. 
In the past dusk till dawn have focused on quality tournaments and I feel they are moving away form this focusing more on quantity, how many players they can cram in on one weekend with the highest buy in for the shortest clock.  With so many entrants you get few fortunate players and most walk away with a loss, players could lose interest.  Is it not in the best interest of the casino to have several tournaments with fewer players rather than one big tournament so that their losses are more gradual and their interest is not lost.

 

[DEVIL]

I don't understand why they moved from  £336 to £550 during a recession anyway. It got a lot of interest when it was first held but the interest has subsided and people cannot afford the increase.  Surely £336 every month is better than £500 every quarter for many reasons.

1) People keep going back out of habit
2) It is easier to find suitable staff if held on a regular basis
3) It does not finish on Monday at 2.30pm

Make a bigger fuss of the winner, put a picture of everyone who wins the big tournaments, people love the fame and will play purely for that.

Pretty obv why they'd wanna run bigger comps if they can get the runners

[TightEnd]

Also, addressing the point Devil makes above about structures, WSOP Blind structures, long clocks is not exactly "highest buy in for the shortest clock"

The structures of these £500s are universally priased, from what I hear and read.

[nirvana]

On a personal level and obv irrespective of EV.

For the recreational player who lives some distance from DTD the idea of a £500 every 3 months with a pretty amazing guarantee is perfect.

Half the entry of a MC for a bigger guarantee, together with an excellent structure - what's to argue with really

£500 a month (plus expenses) for a recreational travelling player with low EV is, imo, not sustainable and i think it makes sense to drop it. I would think you need a good number of travelling players to make the regular monthly £500 work

Not ideal for the pro's but fine for most of us I would think.

Is there such a thing as a recession for poker players?

I go back on my earlier point. Take the £500's off and keep the big guarantee for every 3 months and put the £336/£100k guarantee back on.

for the recreational player, yes, and I think DTD have probably seen that
