*** 30 MIN CLOCK ***

BIGMICKG

where is this place??

ditpoker

where would u be coming from?
from city centre out the n11.... until you get to radisson hotel on your left, turn right up fosters avenue. about half a mile up along at foot of the hill is a junction with traffic lights, turn left up hill (north avenue) and keep going until there's a big pub on your right. 15 mins max by car from city centre on a sunday, probably less.

Is this going to be a regular event?

PokerEventsSeán

Ditpoker
Yes the * I cut and pasted the majority of this from a different thread and forgot to delete it. and thanks for the spot on directions from the city.

Yopnailbrush
This is going to be a fortnightly event at first, if the demand is there it can easily be put to a weekly event.

Sean,

any chance of a 1/2 NLH cash game for when my mistimed all in bluff gets called:)?
I know you don't normally have cash games and it's seems to be a shady area legally, but I know a few pub games in the Dublin area which put on a cash game as players get knocked out of main game.

see you on Sunday

Sweepstakes

Oh! I nearly forgot... Thanks to PokereventsSte for the dig out at about 7pm. (your not getting paid Stephen! HA! )

ignore all below if you think i'm being overly harsh. i was only tehre for one blind level after all... overall seemed great, and im delighted such a game is back in keilys (vegas nights used to be there).

1. All dealers should, if possible, be attired the same way, not all in diff partypoker tshirts of shirts, this a minor issue.
2. the dealer i had (im guessing louise) dealt the flop one card at a time. this is quite a technical error. on the 3rd hand for example there was a raise and a call. 2 players see flop. dealer deals first card, rag, no reaction. dealer deals second card, ace, guy reaches for chips. dealer deals 3rd card, no reaction. guy bets the chips he picked up when the ace hit. i must clarify this comment by saying (again even though i was only there for a blind level) she did control the table, i.e "action on you, the bet is 600" etc much better than even some of the better dealers in dublin clubs.
3. if possible more 25 chips early on. 4 isnt enough!
4. the game started at 3.26 by my watch... 5-10 mins either way is ok, but a blind level is not. i heard one or two people mention this was cos a STT was still going on, F**K THAT! put blinds up every level, end it, get the game started!! the tourney lasted 8.5 hours, that half hour for late start is an issue at 1am!!
5. i didnt get my early bird chip, no one did.


also, any merit to just an 8k stack? or u wanna keep this as a DEEP stack game? 8k still allows loads of play and might take half hour off the clock... or even 25 mins for first 4 levels. and then 30 mins... just to try and get it over by midnight,.

edit: forgot my main issue...
the prize structure... 5 tickets to this game!?!?!? WHAT!!??!?! thats 600 out of the prize pool, and its actually 90 euro (6x 15) in double reg. why should pokerevents take 90 euro in extra reg from the prize pool... if you wanna put tickets to this game fair enough, but its 100 entry! not 100+15, that 15 is part of the players money and the organisers have no right to effectively DEMAND/INSIST that 90 of it goes back to them the following week. 60 players, 600 taken out of prize pool, effectively 10% gone from prize pool. being honest.. THIS IS NOT ON! "10. 100% prize pool payout" is in fact a lie. had i been on that final table i'd have made a scene. not sure if this is standard practice but its something i dont like. just my feedback.

lol, i didnt benefit from it in this hand. Its actually quite a good thing to know to look for, but i guess i was offering the suggestions in the interest of fairness!

derek2222_ie

Firstly let me congragulate sean on a very well run tournament. Apart from the delay at the start everything ran like clock work (breaks etc.)

A satellite should never hold up the start of a tournament IMO.

I managed to final table but my K9 was no match for Q9 on a 9 high flop (for a pot for the chip lead) but thats life.

I thought the standard of the dealers was excellent in general. I did notice the turning over of off one card at a time but never thought anything of it until I read DIT's post.

I have to totally agree with him about the ticket issue, I should have said something on the day but I was focussing on winning the tournament. If you are going to take money out of the prizepool please state this before the tournament. I would have preferred this 600 to be spread amongst the rest of the final table meaning everyone who final tabled got something back for their work.

I have no problem with you giving out tickets, but I would limit it to 2 or 3 and it should not include the reg fee.

Thanks again for a great day

See you there soon

ditpoker

damn! thats two tourneys with derek he's outlasted me in!! didnt see you there yesterday, unlucky with k9!

I will sort that out!

Tough one, They did pay their money into the Satellite, it is my fault so I cant just dump on them, I will just have to have a better cut off point for sats in future
5. i didnt get my early bird chip, no one did.

10000 starting stack is enough


also, any merit to just an 8k stack? or u wanna keep this as a DEEP stack game? 8k still allows loads of play and might take half hour off the clock... or even 25 mins for first 4 levels. and then 30 mins... just to try and get it over by midnight,.

Very Good point, I will take this on board

Point taken. There were no objections, but I see your angle, I will bear this in mind for all future tournaments by perhaps asking the final table about it and letting them decide!


Thanks Jeff for your points

Yeah, totally, one of them was wearing a hoody too!!! For feck sake...:p

I think the issues you have raised Jeff are minor by all means, it was the first day after all. Fair play for pointing out the different things because tournaments can only go from strength to strength on the back of sound advice from players.

On the attire thing, Party Poker is to blame for the shirts which were supplied to PokerEvents. They suplied only M and XL (American sizes). A medium on me is like an XL (Irish Size) and the XL is bassically a duvet cover....

Fair play to Seán who ran a very successful and enjoyable tournament for all, and no doubt this tournament willl become a rigid fixture on the weekly calender.

Pity you couldn't have done more with my ticket though Jeff..:rolleyes:

yes that was me. I cashed out for 450 not a bad return in the end and left a nice tip for the dealers. I never caught your name last night. That was a bit of craic at the cash table
