win a seat at a live event on blonde TONIGHT

[Ironside]

tonight at 8:30 we have our first blonde poker sat into a live event
the live event is a £150+£15 freezeout at cincins in glasgow hosted by mad marty wilson

the cost of the sat is $30 +3$ and for every $290 in the pool blonde will pay for a seat into the comp


good luck too all that enter and hope to see some blonde at cincins as i hopefully will be there even if i dont win my seat

this is a good chance for those without live experiance to win a seat in a large event that should have a good atmosphere

and a number of top scottish players and blondes should be playing

YAY

[Ironside]

oh this sat has 15 minute levels so should encourage some good play for your buck

Count me out

Ok this is funny, Ironside has no internet access for the next few hours so his $30 is dead money.

He WILL NOT be making it into the comp!

Valyooooooooooooooooooo!

[Teacake]

Wasn't aware there was a minimum number for this!

Why has it been cancelled?

[lazaroonie]

good point - from what I read BP were GUARANTEEING  at least one seat, which means it should have gone ahead with the six runners..

[Cybertim]

cancelled tournaments are a pain in the arse.. is there a way they can just go ahead even if there is only two or three players...  waiting around for them to start and then not playing drives me nuts

[Cybertim]

hehe at least ironside will be happy

Would any mods like to set the record straight?

I don't want to be having to change my plans on Thursday as I have done tonight only for the comp to be pulled.

No good asking the mods, Baron is the man in the know ... he willreply when he comes online.

I would if I could, but I know absolutely nothing about this. I don't even know what the Mad Marty Freezeout is about.

But I will try & find out for you.

My personal view is that it's a bit early in our stage of development to be running Satellites for Live Events, we need to walk before we run, & there's plenty of time to build from the base up, slowly & steadily.

But that's no consolation to you guys.

I will ask Baron to Post an explanation.

But from reading this thread, the deal was that blonde would guarantee a seat for every $290 in the pool, with entry set at $30 + $3.

Its not a blonde thing its a tribeca thing.

The tournaments just cant run with less than 9, there is no way of chaning it

Hey all, what Flushy says here is essentially correct. Tribecca have no way of a comp running with less than 9. There is just no way. If there was a way to have a smaller satellite we would happily have one. Annoying I know. The blondepoker specials were the same. There'd be 7 of us seated and it would be cancelled and we'd have to wait 30 mins to try and round 9 up for the next one.

The guarantee of the seat was made under the premise that the comp would start. One thing that has been quite vocal from the forum members about the cardroom is guarantees on events. Alas, when we guarantee a seat we still cant get enough runners to start it.

The idea of the satellite was put forward by a few of yous and, with Iron's backing of the idea, I went with it. We obviously did NOT think the satellite would get less than 9 runners otherwise we wouldn't have gone with it.

Please bear with us at this deveopment stage guys. The good news is Tribecca are working on private one table satellites for the near future.

Apologies for it being cancelled - I hope to see more of you on Thursday evening.

np Baron,

instead I just took down a $50 STT instead, which should just about cover my buyin.

I have actually already registered and bought in for the event anyway, with my winnngs from last week at cincins..
