50k wow.

LuckyLloyd

Mike, can you please stick me down for the 500 shorthanded event and the 1500 ME. I will make time for these. So sick good!!

Bandara

is it not getting a bit ridiculous with these huge starting stacks? I'm all for great playable structures etc but over the past year or so they have gone from 3k to 5k to 7.5k to 10k to 15k to 20k. Now its 50k. Is there really a need to give people 50k chips? Would 20k and a 60 or 90 minute clock not acheive the same?

its a bit like having the Amp that goes to 11 imo.

Anyone agree?

Done.

We have a full PR machine getting behind this one. Expect it to sell out!

Nice, booking time off work for this tomorrow!

€20 says that even with 1,000 BBs some donk will still go all in on the first hand :eek:






Possibly me

AKQJ10

ocallagh

wow, great structure.count me in, esp for the S/H event. Fair play for putting it on and keeping reg @ 10%, I know a lot of organiser don't bother because of the dealing issue.


ps: hope we can read at the tables!

Flushdraw

"I'll raise......450"
"Reraise......14000"
"I fold"
He shows AK

nicnicnic

need to see the structure but this could very well turn into a total crap shoot at the final table and I'm not joking

5starpool

This time 5 years it will be 1 million chips starting at 1/2 (not 100/200) at this rate.

Looks fantastic though, and I would love to play. I presume you will keep us relatively up to date on the number of entrants to this Mike to allow us to make a decision before they are sold out?

totally agree, its gettin ridiculous now. i played a 300 tournament in the WynnLasVegas last year 3000 startin chips and 40 minutes clock, worked out brilliant and was never in danger of turning into a crap shoot as this possibly could.
like nicnicnic said final table could be very crapshooty. Tournamnet poker is about Big stack small stacks and players getting knocked out, the blinds here will be so high when the fields starts to thin it wont matter if u have 50000 or 500000 chips.

I have avoided all big festivals in Europe the best I can yet still we start the S/H as an EPT finishes which is not an issue as I imagine this will sell out locally even though the International interest in this is huge already from feedback I have had during planning.

Impossible not to clash with something but to be honest I don't think these two events compare and will not affect each other too much.

Shortstack

The structure of the Main Event is below.

Shortstack

Points of note:

There are a lot of similar events out there.
We are only planning one festival a year.
We wanted to do something different. We Have.

As a poker player (loose use of words!) I think this will play a lot different to most tournaments. I doubt it will be boring. The different approaches that people bring to such a deepstacked tournament will make for a lot of interesting hands I suspect.

It will be a long 4 days for the winner but they will be a worthy champion and I fully expect to get 300 runners for this so they will be well rewarded.

If anyone thinks I would let a final table become a crapshoot then they do not know me at all

mdwexford

Holy mother of god that starting stack is :eek:

Jayminator

Mike reserve me a spot in the main event. Looking forward to it.

sound Mike didnt mean to take from what your trying to achieve here in any way and you know ill be there for sure. Just thinking of the way the wpt 50k starting stack ends ( huge amount of play early none late ).

The_Chopper

The structure looks great - loadsa play.
Just one thing - Dev mentioned in his "well thread" that GJP festivals will be kept at 1k buy in.
Just an observation

Nicky, the WPT events would have a great late structure if they didn't remove levels left right and centre while making the clock 30mins at the FT. All for TV. Players always agree that the structure up to the final 6 is peerless.

dannydiamond

Mike,this looks fantastic,and clearly a lot of thought and effort have gone into it.I sincerely hope this is a huge success,and i'm sure this will be a big hit with players right across europe.This will put GJP firmly on the international map(if not already),and the very best of luck with it.I will certainly be there with bells on:)

50k OMFG :eek:

Eh, looking for any dealers by any chance

I have not got round to reading all of his well unfortunately, otherwise I would have asked him to edit that out. This is aimed at the whole of Europe and not just Ireland. We need to have the buy in a bit bigger to generate the right amount of interest.

The Clamper

i have a list of dealers that will deffo show up if you need any, dealers that are reliable and asked for more work if there is any

also, please put me down for the 1st saturday game 500 nl game and confirm my entry
if you need me to pre register with payment, pm me

also, is it possible that you could email / phone me (or players that have registered) 1 week i advance of the event, as a reminder ?

i wish you the best with this event, it looks great i hope it fills, i could do with the money, please post prize structure or at least just what does 1st place pay, its the only place i'm really interested in

will there be sats for the 1400 event ? and where will they be

Jesus Wept

Add me please for de main event.

In firness to dev he mentioned the "GJP event" which would kinda have meant the current one rather than this new festival from my reading...

Meant to add. Best of luck with this by the way. Looks the goodies.

Shane, play the main event you nit!!

I can see his reply now,

"6 max > Full ring"

Killme00

Hi Mike / GJP

Congrats the events look really great. Can you tell me how to go about pre registering and when that option will be available. I will be playing the Short Handed Holdem and the Omaha events. They look like great events and im sure they will sell out quite quickly which is why i ask.

Thanks,
Tom

So, eh - play both??

lol


I hope to play it, but i'm not really sure about it enough to book a place atm.

cardshark202

50k seems a bit much. Also in the structure you posted up, i think the antes a a bit too big. They should be about 10% of the sb imo, not the bb. EDIT: Otherwise it looks fantastic

Just luckbox your way in through a satelite like you always do, sorted.

Scummyscousers

I'd imgine the ME will attract a lot of journeymen pros from Europe/Britain The buyin is spot on for these lads....So the ME might fill pretty qickly
Also the 50K and clock will unearth nits from every corner of middle nitdom.

few Qs
Any offline Sats for this planned in conjunction with SE, Jackpot? CHLs.
Will you reserve tickets for the ME for these Sats? ie how many?
Any TV interest?
Will this be online reg only?:)



On a side note : your monthly 300 game should be reduced to a 200 game.
This may boost the figures back up. IMO.

EG Some may travel up to play a 200 rather play a 300 in Dub.

BIG-SLICK-POKER

Really in two minds on this i dont know if players betting will be out of proportion early on as u can afford alot of hit and i mean a good few with 1000 big blinds .In fairness to Gjp they Have good ideas I would not do this one but if anyone can pull it off Mike and Brian are prob the only two

Best of Luck with it Wont make it Due to the Coursing event ! This event might affect or help u a little down this way as its pay day for most as the Cash action is the Biggest in the Country for 3 days and players either get broke or get rich ... South East players Save for this and alot tarvel but i dont think it will affect
