DTD Mini Deepstack £100, £30,000 GTD 12-15 Sept

[DTD-ACES]

Chippyman

What time did it all finish on the end?

Not sure whether to play tonight, depends when it finishes

Ty

12.15am

blinds 8/16k ante  2k

about 280k ave for the 7 qualifers (highest 400k ish)

Average 321K, blinds start at 3k-6k on Day 2, 54BB average

I'm interested in comments about the structure/clock, my options to balance start/finish times/day 2 etc etc were to play 25 min clock in club/10 min online (and have all WSOP main event levels in) or go 30 min live/12 min online and take out 4 levels from Day 1 but then back to full WSOP structure from Day 2. I went with the latter because I felt at £100 buy-in on a weekly back to back basis we needed to cater for people not playing too late/starting too early and also get Day 2 finished by midnight but get maximum play - so any comments are welcome, its a challenge to get good numbers each week for a 2 day event over summer unless we try and fit in with people's lifestyles (the masses) so playing till 2am online/starting 5pm friday afternoons/finishing 3am on Day 2 etc

Cheers Aces

Structures perfect for online and live . What to expect for a £100 comp ! The only things that is annoying is the beats on the FT . Other that , they all perfect for the £100 comp. Well done again Dtd .

From a personal point of view I would rather have more levels early.  But if it works better for the masses to do it this way then (and it shows an improvement in numbers) then I didn't hate it that much.

P.S. Was a little bit turbo-ish though.

Back on tonight for final shot till next weekend...
Comp played fine, enjoyed watching FT

See I am the reverse. I think the starting blind/ante structure is fine. I would like more random levels mid/late on.

1500/3000 and 1600/3200
7500/15000 and 8000/16000 etc.

1 or 2 slight jumps mid/late on will make a big difference I think.

Just adds a little more skillful play later on besides shoving spots, raise get it in etc. More room to 3/4bet deeper in the torney.
More flops seen the more people that bust, so shouldn't really affect finishing times tooo much.

But like Chippyman, it is a £100 comp. Awesome structure already. Few tweeks would best apply for 300/500 Deepstacks.

Structure is fine it's a £100 2 day comp expecting 500 players ish. I expect an element of turbo play!

[smurf]

the smurfs going to fire his bullet/donate his buy in to the prize pool tonight...(in The Rocks voice)....bring it!!!

[Gemini Kings]

Playing on line day 1b. Awful structure. Wont be playing any more with this structure. I understand the need to finish at reasonable time but why not start an hour earlier.

[George2Loose]

What is it with these structure pigeons? 30k stack for 100 quid? Just adjust!

Or let's make it 100k stacks 3 hour clocks and starting at 25/25. Some forget the 11500/23000 level tho cos otherwise it's a shoot

[smurf]

sigh...15th...if we only played to the flop i'd have crushed it...river got me 3 times on 3 all ins.

good luck all...might try again in a few weeks.

He asked a question and people have given there feedback. The more you shoot people down, the less likely some people are to give their views. Simon is asking for feedback.
