DTD £100,000 GTD Grand Prix: 10-17th March

[Tommy Bingham]

Any idea if the tokens you get for falling just outside the 10% threshold be used for live also?
Thanks guys.

[NEWY]

Any idea of pay structure? obv not expecting confirmed amounts etc jus likely percentages. I wud imagine the £150 payout will be for a significant number of the payouts. What will 1st prize likely be as I starting to make plans already for when I take this bad boy down! Cheers and gud luck to all blondes hope u finish close runners up to me.

LOL at reading some of these comments, especially yeahman - just sounds like the smoking area at DTD, we have just transferred the bad beats online for a few days, but come Friday and Saturday..the beats will happen live in the club just as they do online............. I just sat for 2 days in EPT London, got AA cracked by AJ, got KK cracked by 66 and then finally busted AK v QQ (flop Q x x so didn't even get a sweat and the guy next to me said when i turned over AK 'oh, you have 7 outs because i passed an ace') so I texted about 10 people the same text, it read "poker is just ******* absolutley completley uttlerly pointless'. I know well how the pain of poker feels, Grand Prix or EPT still pain. Cheers Rob

I feel your pain Rob. I remember one time when I had AA and lost to QQ really close to the money...
But we all keep coming back for more

btw How many Aces and Kings did the guy next to you think there are in a deck? I know people say these EPTs are softer than expected, but...

Yes tokens can be used for the live day 1's. You must register online with them though same as you do with the satellite tokens (they're the same tokens )

While we are all feeling sorry for ourselves over bad beats my worse ever online (I have bored you all with this before)

I had AA board runs out AKK we end up going all in for massive pot then comes 44 he shows the other 44

Other than that any 2 starting cards can win it just seems there are 12 aces in the pack when your KK is busted by rag ace etc

All part of the game, you smile, wish them luck and think maybe next time.

On a different point one thing I love is to see the online players get the arse when they lose questioning how they can play that etc. so easy to tilt them.

FU - thank you too
FU - you are welcome
Hope you die - I will one day
Fish - glug glug
Donkey - eeeeee-aaaaaw
Donkey - neighhhh I am not
Fish, donkey - cat, mouse

Any of the above tends to tilt some times with a little booooooom added to the chat box -it's what I like to call a bit of fun

[Tommy Bingham]

What an awesome game.
People go wild in the chat box when you win a race?! How could you call there I always have you beat etc etc. Ok... next time I will fold? Do you not want me to call when I am behind?

Bad beats, smoking areas and life.

I think badbeats and story telling in such an amazing part of the game.
Where else can you speak to a complete random and talk about a badbeat, badluck or bad players? If you were waiting for the bus, and you just turn to some guy and go..
"Hello. How you doing? So sick.. I just lost £300. This customer I deal with was 80% certain to sign contracts with me, but then decided to go with someone else at the last minute?
They would think you are a weird depressive. And just ignore you.

Whilst smoking outside DTD an old guy smoking a rollup with a farmers cap drinking a 4 hour old Guinness, turns to you and says
"Alrite kid, how you getting on? I just lost a £300 pot. Got it in with a regular with Aces vs 44 and the guy rivers a straight! What can you do?"
You reply, you talk, and interact with a person you would possible of never spoken to in your life. A random guy confines in you of there 'BADLUCK'. And you reply, with your own story!

This game is brilliant. However good you play and unlucky you get, there is always someone, somewhere that has a better story.

I feel your pain Rob. I remember one time when I had AA and lost to QQ really close to the money...
But we all keep coming back for more

You lost with aces v queens? When was this? Don't remember reading about it on here...

It was just after I got it in vs flopped trips with an overpair and hit runner runner to make a flush 

and the day before one of the best holiday days of my life

see every story has it's counterpoint

[Nicola Dusk Till Dawn]

Hi Guys

So only 2 more online Day 1's to go.....

We've had 503 runners over 1A, 1B and 1C....would be nice to get 250 Tonight & Thursday and bring the online total to 1,000!

If you still have multiple tokens to use and intend on playing on 1F and/or 1G please register these tokens now to secure your seats as you can always unregister but if 1G sells out you won't be able to get in from the start! Also this will help bring some urgency to the live registrations for direct buy in's if there are less spaces available

Good Luck to those playing tonight.

£2 satellites are still running so you can grab a last minute token or 2

Cheers Nicola

[smurf]

another stab tonight...satted in for a cool £6.20...feeling good about it as i wasn't planning on trying again...then immediately after it was my turn on the dishwasher so i turn to my 21 year old son "if i hit a bullseye with 1 dart will you do the dishwasher"     "if you hit a bullseye with one dart i will do it for a week"   booooooooooooom   hahahahahahahahahahaha...he is currently doing it   

[SteveF]

Curious...

Should I win a seat in one of the sattys later I will then have 1 golden chip seat and 1 non-golden chip seat. Say I then want to play the last online day tomorrow, how do I know which 'type' of seat I'm using? Do I get the choice? Can I keep the golden chip one back for the live day for example?
