structure of GFs on Playtech will be $300 freezeouts so we have changed the feeder structure slightly.

once we migrate there will be loads of STT and MTT routes to these GFs.

Hi Karl

Hi all,

I just wanted to spam this thread up a bit and remind everyone that I'm running an offline satellite this Thursday in the Westbury Snooker Club, The Green, Malahide.

Buy-in is €200 + €20 freezeout and the blind structure is really playable (modelled off the IO main event)

100% of pirze-pool paid out, Stephen Mc Lean is TD, great atmosphere and a freeroll tournament will start at 6pm sharp on the night...... Main tournament starts at 7:45pm.

Email stephen@pokerireland.ie if you need any more info or check out www.pokerireland.ie for listings of our upcoming satellites around the country.

Whats the story with parking at the Burlo on the days of the event? Its paid parking there unless you are a resident. Do they offer free parking if you are at an event there?

Cheers,

Noel.

Hi Mick,

Any details on this tournament?

Just asking because I'm running a qualifier this Thursday in Malahide but probably changing to Wednesday next week and thereafter.

Gus Ivey

karlh just to let u know theres a misprint on this page : http://paddypowerpoker.com/tournaments/online-qualifiers.php
it says the grand final is $300 + $200. I was confused for a sec , i thought it was $200 top up

Sorry about that

The tournament was advertised:

On the feature section of the website
In the sub feature section of the website
On the splash front page of the poker client
In the feature section of the poker client
On the ticker section of the website
On the Irish Open website qualifier section
On the Online Qualifier section of the website...

I personally would have found it attractive and you try these things to see if others will too but It could well have something to do with the already pretty bursting schedule of feeders etc on the site.

If you guys want this kind of online supersat we may well be able to arrange a private boards IO tourney when we move to the Playtech Platform.

All in favour say I?

I......

I also never saw this advertised, must be blind... Running those $3 rebuy feeders are a good way of players noticing GF Sats and normally builds up a nice field few days before the gf, could this help?.

karlh

feeders would indeed help but 2 different sets of feeders to to 2 different finals were quite confusing and we didnt want to dilute traffic to the sun GF too much.

there will be STT feeders and all sorts of qualification methods when we move to our new home.

ill post details here as soon as.

Some questions

in the rebuy tournaments, how many chips do you have to have to rebuy?

Will there be topups available in the 200r and 300r tournaments? This page seems to suggest there won't be. However we know the Merrion can be flexible on this matter.

Incidentally the first question would be a good one to add to the sticky for tourament organisers. A 100 rebuy where you can rebuy with starting stack or less is almost as big as a 200 rebuy where you can only rebuy with no chips. So it would be useful to know.

as the main event is starting on Good Friday will there be any alcohol available?

karlh

Apologies for the delay in answering this Dave, here's the one I can definitely answer now:

Thats good for me. Is there anyone else staying in the Burlington, I don't want 50 boardsters charging drink to my room.

karlh

if i remember correctly, Jury's last year weren't allowing drinks to rooms to avoid obvious piss takes.

you couldnt even take them out of the bar. Security were strictish and it was either have a room key under your own name or say that you're a poker journalist called Roy the Boy and wing it.
