Thinking about going to this.

Anyone played it before?

Standard of play equivalent to UKIPT or worse?

Buyin at the venue? Or in advance?

Any other thoughts?

TIA

played it last year and other spanish tours.

spanish players are highly emotional and whilst the boom has taken off over there not many have emerged as good players.

lots of ept regs will likely go and play it first though.

Did you buy in early, or was turning up and paying at venue ok?

Last year queuing on the day was the worst thing ever. They filled up and turned people away, which I was part of, although they made room later. I think you can buy in through stars this year, or at least for the EPT events and I've heard they will be improving registration this year at the event too.

Last year buying in was a pain. Took over 90 mins and 4 different queues and I was there pretty early.

However I think it was the first event they used the PS Live Card.

Was a great event tho and aim to be there again this year

Bugger only knows where I've put that PS Live card.

Sigh.

Did they allow you to buyin the day before?

Remember I turned the day before for a tournament about 8 years ago and they said I couldn't buy in until the day of the event.

Assume things have improved since then.

Would imagine its pretty soft. Did not like the casino, the dealers are very slow IMO and most of them look like they don't want to be there.
Also be careful to watch out for the angle shoots with the foreigners, I had to report someone whilst I was there playing the Ipops, the T.D didn't seem to care too much either.

Gl if u go, if u can win a package the hotel they give u is AMAZING! X

Was that the year Jeff Kimber beat Dan Carter, or when Chubbs Nowab finished runner-up to the Scandi?

Was the year Carlos Mortensen threw his weight around to keep the casino open an hour later than it should have been to finish his match without it becoming a crapshoot.

My guess of 8 years ago was pretty good.

It was 9!
