guaranteed ticket ?? stick me down either way

Flipper

That's an stupidly small starting stack for a €400 tourney.

Is this a guaranteed ticket?

What would you say the chances of getting players to fill this if it's not? After all, ye didn't get runners for the Poker Million satellite.

Post the blind structures.

Macau Cork

Always a good structure flipper 3k is enough as you get 5k for the re-buy or add-on

To be fair it's tough trying to run a satellite a week after our big tournament the IRISH POKER CLASSIC.

Hope to see you thursday for the monthly €200 freezeout.

5starpool

Unfortunately, 'always a good structure' isn't specific enough. Tournies organisers are allowed, encouraged even, to post details of their upcoming events, but there is a standard that must be adhered to whcih includes, who is running it, how much, how many rebuys, how many chips, blind levels, ticket guaranteed and so on. It is listed in the sticky what these are. A lot of this info is already above, but for the rest we would appreciate if it were posted.

Link to format here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=227377

In future can you please stick to the set format.

Cheers.

This is with regard to the clash of dates between Macau league final and Waterford winter festival. All the Cork players would appreciate a response from the Macau.

it seems they have the selective sight mode turned on in the computer, as they havent seen the guaranteed question, the sticky or the thread that will cost them mnay punters i.e. yours.

Macau Cork

The ticket is not guaranteed but we will have a lot of tickets gone before the event from sats at the club so we should get 50 runners easily.

Does this mean that there is no package and when there is 4 or 5 left a deal will be done and the prize will be chopped.

Also where did you come up with 3k starting chips and 5k for the rebuy or top up.

Surely you should reward players for making it to the end of the rebuy session with their chips intact. 4k starting, 4k rebuy or 8k add on would make alot more sense.

You are going to discourage players who win tickets from playing as they are going to have to put another 200 out if they are to stand any chance of progressing.

Macau Cork

Hi Moro man we have done this before for the irish open satellite and the players thought it was good.

There is a package and there be no deals on the wsope satellite.

It makes the entry fee look smaller and the prize bigger:rolleyes:

mrflash

this is a complete laugh, 3k starting stack for 200. why dont you just advertise it as a 400 freezout and give everyone 8k and be done with it.

mdwexford

all the Sporting Emporium major satellites have a 3500 starting stack with a 3500 rebuy or top-up and nobody ever complains about them.

the structure is fine imo

There is a world of a difference dingbat

3.5k plus 3.5k is in NO way comparable to 3k plus 5k.

Just call it a €400 double chance freezeout with 4k starting chips and an extra 4k whenever you want them.

Note to alot of comedians out there. A €400 double chance freezeout does not mean you can pay the €400 twice.

the emporium satts are 3.5k + 5k which work very well except for there antes get to big. 3k + 5k is fine in my opinion but 4k +5k would be better there is no need to give more chips with all levels included

couldnt remember the SE stack exactly, but still its basically the same amount of chips as the Macau game

Nail on the head. And live sats need as much dead money as possible in order to make up ticket prices - particularly for a 10k stg event.

careful questioning the Macau lads, you'll get yourselves barred via the t'internet

Virtual 'live barring' is all the rage now......

Fair play to a gautranteed tournament. I get sick of people advertising tournies with an etimated prize pool. I try and get down to Cork for it.

Just one question for you though: whats going on with the standard of waitresses in the club. It used to be like walking into a cross between a top casino and Stringfellows. Now some of the birds you have in there I would'nt ride if I had a bag of willies

Fair play, Ken. That's an amount of money to guarantee.

.....and don't mind him about the waitresses - I've got low standards....
