GJP €250 game - New Date 21st January

Shortstack

Hi Folks,

Due to a slight technical hitch with the Hotel we have had to change the date of the next €250 Freezeout to 21st January.

Usual start time of 2pm Irish time, satellites from 12pm.

New structure has 8000 starting chips and 40 min blinds and includes running antes.

Dealers on every table, usual side games will be available.

From February it will be a €300 game on the second Sunday of the month.

I too am looking greatly forward to this, it should be a good warm up for the NSPC the following weekend.

Lloyd you up for swapping some percentages? You are still €200 up from our percentage swapping to date.

It is due to start at 2pm. Usually this ends up being 2.30pm.

Reminder there is now 8000 chips and 40 min levels!

Up to 15% of the prizepool will be tickets to our next festival €1000 game which is going to be held May 25th-27th, just tying up venue details before announcing and atrting online sats.

This is the last €250 game, from Feb 11th it will be a €300 game - online qualifiers for this will be on Feb 4th.

Cheers Gypsy boy! Richest club in Ireland now after years of zero cash..

3 is ridiculous if it should be 2. If it starts at 2 start it at 2 and feck the lazy bastards.... a lot of us have to work on Monday. So a 2 or even 1 start should be maintained...

sory for the rant Mike, I know your trying to run a business and keep everyone happy. Just something to consider.:D

Usually around 100. If you mean a taxi from Drogheda town centre to the hotel - about €6.

Usually around 2am finish dependant on numbers. Can be 70-130 runners hard to predict, lot of people coming who have not been for a while so expecting towards the higher level.

OT: Nickname = Champion Chase ?

BigCityBanker

Thanks Tim.

Champion Chase is an interesting one this year - I dont like Newmill and last seasons novices arent that hot. If the ground came up soft then id be on Nickname, if the ground has the word "good" anywhere in the description then Nicknames chances are seriously reduced. As far as the ground goes for cheltenham you can be all but guaranteed that the ground on day one will be no better than Gd/Sft. The course took considerable slack last year over the number of casualties and have ensured all season through that the ground has been maintained on the easy side - imo this wont change for the festival and the opening days ground will be on the easy side - of course when they tamper with nature it often bites them in the ass so a good evenings rain might see soft ground on Wednesday. The race looks like being a poor renewal and the 12/1 currently available wont be available on the day if he runs and if the ground comes soft id expect him to be no more than a 4/1 shot - it may be worth having a speculative few quid.

PiperT

Was thinking the same re: ground. I'm heading over so I'll see when I'm there. Still think 12/1 is a great price. Although he may do the Ryanair. We'll see what happens. Better kill this before the mods kick us in the nads.

BigCityBanker

The horse deffo will not run in the Ryanair Chase - he wouldnt get 2m5f at a track like Cheltenham unless he was driven around in a horsebox. Its Champion Chase or nothing for him. 12/1 is a great price if he runs. Brassil is a realist and knows that the horse can win every 2m chase over the winter months in Ireland and amass KKKK's in prizemoney on heavy ground without risking a horse who has already been out of the game through injury on unsuitable ground in the festival. He is no better than 50/50 to run imo. Brassil wont be blinded by "festival mania" and run for the sake of it.
