DTD New Year Special £150,000 GTD Deepstack: Day 2

[TightEnd]

not sure what filming from 9 handed brings to the party. espicallly when the feed is poor. Titghy commentating is good but im happy to wait until 8 handed for that!

The feed table is 8 handed of course...so the commentary table side before that is an attempt to start the stream a bit earlier and catch the first exitof the unoffical final in 9th

Ideally there would be a flop cam above the table (its always table 13) but that might be on the agenda only if its felt it would justify the investment. It probably doesn't tbh, as its used for one exit per month for one event

Thought on monthly rotation.

Ie. £300 / £500 / £1k

With re: structure etc, fine as it is IMO. Only way your getting no sleep is if you win a chunk, and nobody feels sorry for you.

@Doobs

Taking out levels would be really terrible - they make a massive difference definitely aren't superfluous.

Can't see the downside in the 12pm starts. Perhaps 25k starting stack too if that makes a decent difference.

Taking out the levels I suggested is roughly the same as moving to 35 minute levels.  If you are happy with one, you should be happy with the other.

Problem with these choices is that they aren't equivalent.  For instance stating at 20K probably saves less than an hour.  Moving to 12 means the staff have to work just as long, just at a slightly better time.  I don't think the cap will make much difference either.

Now I think about it breaks were possibly 20 mins day 1a, and 15 day 2.  Is that right?  I assume they were longer on 1b because of the bigger numbers.

I'd be happy with 15, but if the club has a reason, and they aren't going to save a load of time by doing it then there isn't much point.  Could they easily lose a break on day 1 though.  There is a colour up break that comes only 2 levels after the last break.  Think it is level 8.  Can't they just leave it until the end of level 9, then they don't need a last break at the end of 14?  I can't remember seeing any big unwieldy stacks at that point.  Will save 20 minutes easy enough.  

Anyway, going to be getting off soon, gl those left

cough. If only I mattered :-)

Only joking, well played today Mitch


Right, off to commentary.

Feed should be with you in 10 mins or so for the delay

[Kev B]

Start earlier day 1a and 1b. 2pm fine for day 2.

Open the doors earlier to allow people to buy in with time to spare.

25k stack plenty.

10 min breaks, unless the break times are needed for staff breaks.

Don't bother with a 60 min clock for FT.

I agree with Michelle, the sats are awful.


WP to Mr. Tight one, fantastic updates.

WP DTD yet again, putting on a great comp and listening to it's customers.

I think rotation is a good idea, but I would go for £200 / £300 / £500 / £200 / £300 / £1k / £200 / £300 / £500 / £200 / £300 / £1k (you get the idea!)

DTD could also look at introducing the Multi Prize Pool concept into the mix at some point?

[WotRTheChances]

Why can't Sunday just start at 10am? Throw in a 1-hour dinner break, saves 3 hours. Not entirely sure why there were 25min breaks on the Saturday either... 10-mins is plenty generally... perhaps with 1 a bit longer so people can grab some food then too.

Best of luck to Neil Ryder

30 mins day 1, 40 day 2?

[pleno1]

shallower pay structure so people dont nit it up ALOT with 15-30bbs effective.

VBOL to Neil. It's pretty funny that Turk is commentating being as last week, when Turk was nice enough to give me and Neil a lift back from London he said the following words in the heat of a debate, "Yiannis, you are my witness, Neil will never ever win a big tournament, I promise you." It wasn't as nasty as it sounds, it was all good banter in the heat of a debate, I doubt he even believed it himself. But now the sweat is on for jokes.

[Doobs]

Unlucky Doobs.  Well played, and nice to meet you (and play on the same table for a brief moment) on Friday.

Good to put faces to names, and was good to meet you and a few others. 

Don't know if it was unlucky, I was thinking after, does he ever do that freak raise with AQ and with big stacks behind (he was MP).  But meh. 

Would have to fold face down and not tell anyone ever.
