the partypoker DTD Deepstack August £300,000 GTD

[bobAlike]

For purely selfish reasons a 2 day monthly deepstack is better. I don't play poker online and don't really want to commit to 3 days playing live poker when I have family and work commitments. I always buy in direct and don't mind having multiple bullets if I can afford it. Can't see me attending DTD for the foreseeable future

This 3 day structure is great for professional players who have time on their hands.  However, the deep stack needs to attract a thousand entrants or so to make it a success..... are there a thousand pros willing to turn up on a monthly basis, im guessing not! 

So to make this event increasingly popular there needs to be a high mix of recreational and club players and people with deep pockets, I am not sure that this structure allows many recreational or club players a chance to get involved in the main event as the day 1's are predominantly midweek with the exception of Saturday morning (which is a turbo and a form of 'last chance saloon') which most regular/decent players would not entertain and only do so out of necessity. 
I believe that this format excludes the many (who work weekdays) and who can only play on a weekend.
In this 3 day structure, the only realistic event that a recreational play can get involved with in my opinion is restricted to the Friday evening day1, as it is the only day 1 which has a decent clock and doesn't include a turbo.

I am in a position where I can juggle my schedule and play any day of the week, so to me this three day schedule is great but I think for the many it is likely to be a hindrance. 
with dtd needing high volumes of runners, they should not exclude any category of poker play if they can help it!
I myself fired two bullets, the Friday 2pm with a 45 min clock which I really enjoyed and begrudgingly the Saturday morning turbo which is an awful event (never to be repeated).

Guessing something needs to change as the guarantees do not seem to be being made......Or is this the Vegas lag??!! time will tell.

Being lazy but I agree with this.  We played the turbo day 1 on Saturday out of necessity this time but it's not something we would want to do regularly.

If it was a 40 min clock as a 2 day tournament with a day 1 on the Saturday we would play it every month.

I thought the turbo with shot clock was abs fine

Those payouts are wrong as I got £2100 (sterling not $2250) and the winner got £49850 plus the £150 they gave for making day2 so £50k total.

Have the dates for the August deepstack been confirmed yet? Will it be the weekend of Sat 1st August or Sat 8th August? The Goliath at Coventry starts on Sat 8th.

[R8APK]

Hope it's on 31st/1st August.......the week after is the Ashes Test at Trent Bridge and hotel rooms are charging a min of £170 per night!
