Official ISPT Wembley thread: DTD partner with ISPT and guarantee first at €1m

[AndrewT]

When it is a success I don't think DTD will be sharing many congratulations, Newy. It can only be a success with DTD.

 

Yes I agree It will only be a success with DTD help but if it is u can gaurantee ISPT will be lording it as their successful comp with the help of their partner DTD unless I have mis interpretted the title of this thread. If it fails no 1 will give to hoots bout ISPT cos we all expected it to fail anyway but if it does fail then it will prob tarnish DTDs success. Thats all. Kinda negative free roll. Hope this not the case cos love DTD and all they have done. GL GL GL

If it is a success, everyone will know it was because of DTD, the poker community is small in this respect.

I actually think its a bigger statement for DTD to make a success of what the ISPT started, than to arrange a similar event of their own. If they did this in Nottingham they would be expected to be successful, but if they do the impossible, everyone in the poker world knows who they are. Then they can start to host more events outside the UK, host a WPT/EPT/WSOP major in Nottingham, or even open DTD 2 in Belgium or whatever, and everyone in poker will want to travel to the tournament ran by the guys who fixed the ISPT. 

If the tourney is a success Rob buys Wembley, sticks a roof on it and opens DTD London.

If (and when) the tourney is a success Rob is made Prime Minister and SAVES England

this whole thing sounded ludicrous from the get go & coupled with the BTG it was just laughable in the extreme,

fair play to rob, if anyone can turn this around in the smallest of time frames he can...does anything ever phase this guy?

& sigh, sigh, sigh at realising i have a family wedding to attend in ireland on may 31st.

[YEAHMAN123]

when will satellites take place for this?
will these be at DTD
i see some nice side events too 300,400,500,1000, 1800 buyins
satellites for all of them live at the club and on ipoker would be good

satellites now plzzzzzzzzz ))

Hi Everyone,

Tightend has done a full Q & A with me on ISPT Wembley - we chatted over this Deepstack weekend, apologies if he left his updating duties for a couple of hours - it was good to speak to him actually, he is very pragmatic and I ask his opinion on poker issues regularly. He is going to type it up, put it in some reasonable order and post it on here.

Off to PokerStars party at Hippodrome now, need to try and win the EPT freeroll, Nick has put me on a budget now after this ISPT thing

Cheers Rob

P.S. Thanks for keeping the faith and not slaughtering me on this thread (thus far)

[Belly Buster]

Please tell me DTD are getting paid up front by ISPT.

[YEAHMAN123]

i think you have the respect of everyone one Rob, i hope this is a huge success. your Ambition and love for poker i think is clear to see with you taking this on knowing the risks. looking forward to hearing more updates

Can I spam all my other articles here if I end them with "that ISPT thing looks good"?

BTW when you finally get around to the Q&A, I for one would love to see some example payouts based on say 200/400/600/800/1000 runners etc

[TightEnd]

There should be an announcement with further detail later today, that answers most of the Q and A

Within it the "ISPT Official Payout and Structure" is contained
