I know its a year away but yeah, brilliant.....Do you have a venue in mind JP?

BigCityBanker

Good luck with this JP. You are putting alot of work into the Irish Poker scene and deserve the support.

Mother of Jebus, those structures are ridiculous!!!!! This looks fabulous, and I would be a raging certainty to play some of those events. I only hope that the brilliant structures don't mean that too many people are in previous events still to water down the field for subsequent fields.

Hi Stephen,

Forgot to mention it going to be held in the Red Cow Hotel. I'll have a meeting with them next week and will find out room rates for players.

Starting from this Sunday i will be giving out €150 tickets at the Red Cow to the top finishers as part of their prize. The tickets will be for may bank holiday weekend and can be used in any of the events listed above or in SnG's for any of the events listed above.

The amount of tickets given out on any Sunday will not exceed 15% of the total prize pool from that day.

I've been drooling over the structures for the last few minutes. wowowowowowowowwowowowowowowwowowowow (the ME structure is so ****ing sick good).

I would add in a 25 / 25 level for the omaha. But apart from that - it gets my vote.

ditpoker

ugh... disaster... starting salary for business graduate... approx 25k... how do i justify dropping close to 10% of a salary in 5 days!!! JP.. the cause of and solution to all poker problems!!!

Moneymaker

Wow, looks brilliant JP. Fair play to ya. Hopefully a poor student like me will be rolled to play that main event by next May and not have to sell the car.:p

JP count me in for ME for definite. I've never started a tournament with 25k chips!

I was gunna say 'or ended one!' as some sort of put down.

But it doesn't make much sense.

Well i doubt he has ever ended one per se, so it works all the same.

jsut thinking now, wasnt it May last year that there were like 4 big buy in tournaments in the month, as far as i remember there isnt one big buy in tournament in Feb/March, only IO in April, or are your hands tied. May is a horrbile month for anyone who is in college/education

Hi Joe,

I actually tried getting the August bank holiday weekend for this for that reason, but it wasn't available. The June bank holiday weekend wasn't available either and the October bank holiday weekend is the same weekend as the EPT.

The IO is in March next year.

I know Neill from Big slick has been talking about poker organisers getting together to make a calender. So hopefully next May won't be the same as this year.

I heard a little dickie bird suggest that the next GJP 1k event will be around Feb.

JP this looks sh@t hot and fair play to you for taking the risk of organising such a big event, and I'm sure there will be loads of support from all the guys on here.
Best of Luck...!
