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

[millidonk]

Don't think Eid is the issue as devout Muslims are not supposed to gamble in the first place..

Not sure what the issue is myself. Maybe there aren't enough grass roots players who can afford to spend £50± per week, especially if they have to travel and accom it ? last week was payday for most which would have increased numbers.

Not enough promo?

I dunno. Anyway 12bbs and a dream today..

Anyone questioning the value of playing more than one day 1 and merging 2 stacks might want to follow this guy's progress.

I love the fact that Dtd keep putting these awesome comps on but the fact is if u do the same thing every week it just doesn't work:

Punters get bored
They don't have money to keep pouring 50 quid after 50 quid into multiple days
They don't have the time

They also know if they don't play this week they can play next week.

Love DTD but I think they need to perhaps look at doing these comps less frequently to avoid potential overlays

Hi G2L

What would you suggest?  

Entry level,predicted number of runners  and guaranteed prize pool to fill the place.

Without doing your nuts in overlay!

What George has said is spot on in my opinion and the problem that DTD have is that there isn't a viable suggestion.

I absolutely love these comps, they're great fun, great value and right on my doorstep. I hate the thought of them stopping because they're simply brilliant.

I wish there was a way of sustaining live 1000 runner £50 comps every week but there quite simply isn't.

I think DTD have got the format right now. The merging stacks seems to work really well and certainly doesn't appear to put anyone off. One suggestion would be to maybe look at doing less online day 1s. By spreading them out you give people too much option which spreads the runners out through the week and makes the comps less appealing.

One other thing I would definitely do is reduce the juice for online day 1s. Make it £50 + £2 in my opinion. It's about getting numbers in to the club not generating a few tenners. The juice is there to fund the cost of running the comp, if they play online you only have to cover the cost of the ones who make day 2 which is about 15% or so.

I say this as someone who is highly unlikely to play any online day 1 so there's no personal agenda. If it was cheaper though I might just be tempted....

Whatever happens this has been a great comp in it's first 2 weeks. Hopefully something will happen to make it remain financially viable but sadly I can't see it

Good luck for next week DTD!!

Agree with the comments above.

The way I was thinking about it was these £100/£50 £50,000 gtd comps are broadly aimed at the same player base. There will soon be approaching 10 of these so that's £500,000. Does this player awe have £500,000 to spend on poker over a couple of months? I'd suspect not.

This will be quite a spin up!!!!! Good Luck to all the blondes who made day 2!

haha vinod, hes my friend, used to play footbal with him a few years ago, i can confirm he is NOT coming to spin it up so 500 is going to some lucky devil!

Is it not simply a case of it being the holiday season, and the kids are off etc.

People are spending their money on holidays/family days out etc?

With it being a £50 tournament, it's aimed at all bankrolls.....I guess the lower bankrolls are spending their £50 on the above no?

I hope it stays though, I want to play this soon.  I was there Friday for the £20 jobbie....couldn't stretch to the £50 as the kids have rinsed me these school holidays!

[YEAHMAN123]

can we establish that its £60 to play this?lol

i think this is a awesome tourney but needs some fine tweeking in my opinion.

I have thought this but chose not to raise it as an issue.

The comp is tremendous value and the guarantee is absolutely incredible.

Despite this there's no avoiding the fact that 20% juice particularly online is pretty high.

I'm not knocking it and personally I'm happy to pay it. For some though it simply comes down to how much they have to fork out to play and as yeahman says it's 60 quid not 50.
