Keep the antes away from the main event!!

I'm there. Cash games should be roughly the same as last time right?

phantom_lord

Sounds good. free-rolling the 1k with my aps sound's even better...

DeVore

Antes cost time and are awkward in my opinion. Plus from what I can see they are not used properly in Ireland at all (they were designed to slow the structure down , not be an additional tax on players. I'll rant another day on this). Anyway, in a 60 minute tournie with 15k starting I think you'll get more hands per hour without antes. Just my 2c.

Yeah, I have a feeling a lot of Greenjokerpoker's online players will be cashing in their loyalty scheme money to play this for nothing!

Just a quick note that you do NOT need to save up your action points to use your sponsorship fund. They are merely a guide as to how quickly your fund accumulates.

DeVore

Yeah, I should have said "money" (corrected it now).


Money is much better then points... *cough*

Totally agree.

I would suggest your online GF to the main event be a ticket only package to generate more tickets. Recently JP's online ticket only(incl reg) GF for the IPC worked well.

For the main event we need to include some exes as the tournaments are open to bluesq and uncover as well. Most of their players are UK based. It will be a nominal $300 exes with the cost of a single room for three nights included in the package. At current ex rates this values a package at $2100.

If any locals win then the cost of the room can be put towards a side event if no accom is needed or used in a deal to create more tickets.

If we think can fill a few GJP only satellites for ticket only then we will add them but most people will want to stay anyway.

I will get a STT table for tickets only put up also but this wont happen until the switch to playtech.

Posters will be printed within the next week or so and we will distribute to all who wish to have them in their clubs. I will be in touch with club owners in the next week to co-ordinate satellites.

Run as many as you can Neill. I will try and make it down for your festival and help run the sats.

Why are there so many good events on in May - does no one have any sympathy for me - fecking exams at the end of May

Hopefully I'll still make it to one of these excellent tournies though, the structure for GJP main event looks like great value.

Fatboydim

Nice structure.

The only thing I'd change is to make it a 90min clock and 10k starting stack. I don't think the extra 5k makes a difference [other than promoting daft play from me early on] but an extra 30mins would.

But I quite understand that it would last a week that way. Especially the way Carigeen plays.

antes aren't needed, the structure is the best in Ireland, actually, just one of the best structures in general.
