Is I Poker Down? I cant find any feeders/ satellites for GP/300/Mini

Hi Vinodh,

We are currently having some technical issues. I've been told that the tech guys are looking at it as very high priority.
Having been keeping an eye on the situation all afternoon I'd advise players to just be patient in this situation.

Apologies for the issues.
Glenn.

is this paying out the same as all other merged stack tournies or is it different due to the massive amount of day ones and the £250 payout for making day 2?

so maddest case scenario someone plays 15 odd day ones (at a cost of 60 x 15 = £900) and takes 4 stacks through.

does he only get the one £250 or 3 x £250 plus play on to see if the 4th £250 can be laddered?

Guess its is just 1* 250 mate, as he has already merged stacks just to make sure he is deep in the tourney!

most likely will be vin but if you play an online game where you can enter more than once you receive a prize for each entry (if you make the money)...if you then have to merge (final table) you get the prize payout for that position.

just wondered as in this instance anyone making day 2 is guaranteed in the money.

where?

There is 0% chance you get more than 1 min cash even if you merge the maximum number of goes

sorry simon you are wrong

fulltilt definitely does it

for example you can enter up to 4 times...200 players top 20 paid...2 entries make the top 20.

if 1 entry comes 19th you get that prize and the second one plays on for wherever that comes.
if both entries make a 9 player final table the stacks get merged...you get the 9th place payout and play on with your merged stack.

Where am I wrong?

I asked where online. You answered that, I also said in this GP there is 0% chance anyone with two day two stacks will be given two min cashes. As the GP hasn't taken place no one is right or wrong yet. I'm just making a prediction!

your post read to me like you were saying where...there is zero chance it happens...I thought you meant online which is why I said you were wrong.

apologies if I mis read it ... I was simply asking the question.

Yeah my last line shouldve said GP,  too fast typing. I'll have to look at FTP sounds a bit crazy, how do they stop both stacks being on the same table?

[smurf]

if there are less tables left than your entries you are automatically merged...other than that they never seat you on the same table.




my thinking on asking the question was this.

e.g.  5000 entries
         500 make day 2

min cash is £250

if 150 of those are merged stacks then only 350 players sit down so the 150 difference I assume gets split between the 350 finishing positions.

I thought if you paid all 150 the £250 it would encourage playing many more day 1's where as at present if you play 4 and get through you make  £10 with a min cash so with 24 day ones you would have to run very deep to make it worth playing a high number of day ones...if you got the payout for each entry that got through (as in the online example) players would bump the prizepool up anyway knowing they can literally freeroll 3 entries for each day 2 they make.

reading back through it looks like this will not be the case anyway. 

[Nicola Dusk Till Dawn]

Hi Guys

Just to confirm with all DTD 2 or 3 day tournaments you can only min cash once.

If you merge your stacks you will receive 1 x min cash or more depending on your finishing position, as you are only effectively in the event once but you are playing additional Day 1's to improve your Day 2 stack.

So for the Grand Prix a player who decides to enter 10 times and takes through 3 stacks (for example) will receive the same £250 min cash as a player who has entered once and made Day 2 from 1 attempt.

Cheers Nicola

Two more live flights have been added for local players

So, local players can now play 19 Day 1s without even thinking about the extra few they could be playing on a laptop whilst playing live  (giving them the option of playing the full 24).
I know there won't be many who would want to play that many, and I appreciate that there is a monster guarantee to be hit, but it does seem to be indulgent in the extreme for the locals to give them extra flights at this late stage.

What next? Live Golden Chip satellites in the club?

I am a massive fan of DTD and spread the word wherever I play. I'm a pretty good advert for the Golden Chip too but my enthusiasm for this GP is taking a lot of hits with the revised format and the sense that it's no longer a tournament for £50 buy in players. Merged stacks and the concentration of 20% of Golden Chips in the hands of 25 players who will all have to play them all which means the likelihood of merged stacks is greater surely wasn't the plan when this launched?

I have two chips currently, and had thought I might try for another one or two, but I don't know what to do now. Push on to compete but accept that my poker roll means that my chances of progressing are small in comparison to those who seem prepared to play every Day 1 flight of every comp available? Or trust in the fact that those playing multiple day ones are just adding to the prize pool?

David

The £50k sponsorship always means this was going to be played massively by career players...there will no doubt be many prepared to throw £1K in entries at it for a potentially huge day 2 stack to have a real shot at the package - as we can already see by the golden chip leader board.

However...as we all know poker can be a funny old game so I am looking forward to the challenge of using my 2 chips and 2 further entries (yet to get) to see what I can do with it.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some super mega sats thrown at us in the final week aswell...200+ entries on each day 1 is a lot to hit to meet that lovely guarantee.

Can't wait
