Fitz 500 on Sat.

58o

Are many planning on playing this? How many runners does this normally get?
Decent structure?

LuckyLloyd

I'll let somebody from the Fitz correct me if I am wrong.

It normally gets between 40 - 70 runners.

8,000 starting stack. 45 min levels throughout.

Blinds:

25 / 50
50 / 100
75 / 150
100 / 200
150 / 300
150 / 300 / 25
200 / 400 / 25
300 / 600 / 50
400 / 800 / 50
500 / 1000 / 100
600 / 1200 / 100
800 / 1600 / 150
1000 / 2000 / 150

etc, etc.

As such, the structure is really good. Luke will probably suspend play at 3 or 4 in the morning and the last 10 players or so will have to come back on the Sunday evening. It is a great tourney IMO.

A waste of money, time and patience (apart from Blind omaha - GAMBOL!!).

If you have already decided to play an Event, and have the money set aside - playing satelittes becomes a bad idea IMO. It means you turn up earlier than neccesary and are playing more poker than is neccesary in a format that is completely different in terms of startegy and tactics to the actual event you are there to play.

If you lose one or two satellites (maybe three?), you will now be playing an extra €180, and are contributing extra value to the field for no reason. Moreover, you might be thinking about some beat or bad hand you just plaed in a fcuking statellite as you are about to sit down in the actual event..

As such, I just decide to play - turn up, and play.

Everything that boosts the final number of runners can only be a plus!

MickL

It would be better. Paying reg for the blind omaha is a bit mad tbh.

MickL

MickL

fair enoughski

my thoughts are that I can nip into town on Paddy's Day, play a satellite

and either (a) luckbox my way into a 500 event for 50 quid and have the pleasure of watching emotionless pros like you in action or (b) drop 50 quid and go then go on the p$ss (and then drop the remaining 450 in the SE at 3am :eek: )

it's a win-win situation!

lol. I won't be playing as I have decided that it is too much of a Rugby and boozing day to seriously entertain thoughts of playing poker.

ianmc38

I'll be watching the rugby. That and live poker is sickeningly rigged.

Solksjaer

Paddy Day and Poker. (it's hard work being an Irishman)

Budget -> 600 quid. (communion money finally vests)
10.00 Off into town on my annual bus ride for a LOOONG day. (Mp3 player blasting Christy into me ears, viva la cinte brigada etc)
11.00 Wave small tricolour at various passing floats/bands. Shed a wee green tear. Wave goodbye to other half for the rest of the day.

Then Soccer Estimated consumption
12.30 - Man U v Bolton................. 3 pints of plain (gap at the top reopened to 9 points, goals by Ronaldo and Rooney) )
Then Rugby
Italy V ireland........................ 5 pints of yer only man.
France V Scotland.......................2 crème de montes to get the ol fresh breath but pissed feeling.

Then POKER? (hhmmmmm)
6.00.................................IF Ireland lose (ie not win the championship) I will wander sadly into the Fitz and play a blind (drunk) one handed Omaha sat for the 500 game. If I win I will sleep for the 1st 5 levels under the unused brag table (scuze snoring) to refresh myself.
If I don't win the sat, I will instead rejoin the post rugby drinking session until very late. Where later I can be found answering to calls of NUMBER 47 in Iskanders at approx 3.00 am

Then Sunday morning come down. (cue Johnny Cash)

I was talking to some of the Nordies tonight and it seems that this tourney will be getting a pretty healthy injection of extra runners because of the cancellation of the other one.

Should be worth playing.

I work in the Fitz by the way.
