DTD Deepstack players, the £250 June Deepstack details are on this link
http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/news/250-deepstack/2425 and I have attached is a JPEG of the schedule with this post. If you play at DTD, please take a few minutes to read these points;
1. We will only be doing one £250 event per month for the rest of 2014, allowing us to focus on Sky 6-Max and WPT festivals. I realise this may disappoint some of our weekend £250 players and also our £500 Deepstack players, but we will try and make the monthly £250 Deepstack as big as possible, so you get one massive event a month rather than 4 smaller ones.
2. Whilst we are entering the Summer/WSOP slow period, we want to get players used to a format that is 'scaleable' into an even bigger monthly £250 Deepstack than £150,000 GTD, a guarantee which we hope to be able keep in June/July and August, despite entering the worst period of the calender. Thereafter, it would be great to have developed our monthly £250 Deepstack format into an event that is capable of delivering £250,000 GTD - 1000 entries.
3. To have a chance of building to 1000 entries and a £250K GTE, the £250 Deepstack needs to be attractive to the widest possible poker audience.The addition of earlier 1pm flights on Friday and Saturday for those travelling players who want to get back home, rather than spend money on hotels is just as important as offering later flight options for those players who prefer to spend Saturday afternoons with their family or at football etc. Over the last couple of years, we have noticed Friday Day 1's becoming more and more popular to be fair.
4. I have received so much positive feedback since we changed the structure to 50K chips starting at 100-200 25 ante, the average BB remains at 50+ over the course of the tournament, even before the final table bubble. I am keen to keep that, although Day 1's need to play 12 levels rather than 10, and Day 2 needs to start at 12pm rather than 1pm, this is necessary to accommodate such a great structure over 2 days with 600-1000 players.
5. As Rob has said, we don't want any buy-ins above £250 outside of major festivals, the GUKPT/GPS/UKIPT UK Tour market is very congested and we are better focusing on bigger festival events that competing with these £400-£1000 3--4 day tour tournaments.
Our £250 Deepstack is aimed at the masses, and in particular, those that cannot afford time off work but still love their poker. In a nutshell, we want to have one huge event per month instead of a number of smaller events and provide as many opportunities for the recreational poker player to participate in our major festivals.
Thanks for taking the time to read this update.
