    The Cavan Poker Open will be held on the 5th, 6th and 7th of December 2008. It is a €300+ €50 reg event with 1 re-buy or top up for €150. The guaranteed first prize is €25,000 with an estimated prizepool of €80,000 total.


    The next satellite for the Cavan Poker Open will be held on Bank Holiday Monday August 4th. The top 3 players in this event will receive tickets for the 2008 Cavan Poker Open in addition to the cash prizes available. The average pay out for games of these structure (based on my last 8 games of this format is €12,000) with a high pay out of €15,100 (109 players) and a low of €4,800 (33 players, a very bad showing which clashed with several other games on the day and for which I had not given out many tickets due to fundraisers I had been running in the previous fortnight) I'd be very confident of having 80 plus on August 4th

    1. Who is running the event (Hibernian Poker.)
    2. The purpose of the event (commercial)
    3. Date and Location of event: Bank Holiday Monday 4th August 2008, Oldcastle House Hotel, Oldcastle
    4. Registration and Start time of event. 5pm SHARP
    5. Any prerequisites (member of club, which is free)
    6. How can tickets be purchased & is there a maximum number (players can pay on the day, maximum capacity in the venue is about 200)
    7. Type of Tournament (NL Hold'em Freezeout)
    8. Cost of entry and any subsequent rebuys/top-ups etc. €100+€10 with 1 re-buy or top up option for €50
    9. Cost of registration €10 per player included in above price
    10. % of entry fee/rebuys/top-up going into Prize fund 100%
    11. Any guarenteed prize pool. No (see above)
    12. If applicable, Number of re-buys allowed and over what time frame/blind levels. 1 for 1st 3 levels
    13. Starting Chips 10k + 1k bonus for players registered before 5pm
    14. Rebuy and Top-up chip amounts. 10k
    15. Blind levels, 30mins for 1st 5 levels, 25 mins thereafter
    16. Blind timeframes 50/100 100/200 150/300, 200/400etc
    17. Places being paid and if any prizes are other than cash. Top 3 players receive Cavan Poker Open tickets worth €300, best hand receives a €100 ticket all else is cash pay out.
    18. Are there going to be dealers - and their level of skill, self dealt until level 5/6. Good dealers thereafter
    19. Will there be a documented list of rules yes
    20. Is there a tournament director yes
    21. How are disputes handled - who has final say. Mick Mc Guane TD

    It seems a bit silly just guaranteeing first place is 25k. Sure if you only take in 30k then all you have to do is give first 25k and split 5k among the rest.

    Doesn't make sense to me.

    Sorry, i'm getting bored with this now, its a €350 entry with 1 re-buy or top up for €150, fully dealer dealt and food provided over the 3 days, last years prize-pool was €68,000 with a first prize of €25,000, 2nd was €10,000, 3rd was €6,500, 4th was €5,000 5th was €4,500, 6th was €4,000 7th was €3,000, 8th was €2,500 9th was €2,000 10th was €1,500 11th was €1,000 etc with 21st prize of €500. This game will cost approximately €10k to run between advertising, food and dealers, thats 200 players by €50 reg. It should get 200 players and should generate a prize pool of close to €90k. I don't run cash tables and don't charge for side tables. Come if you want to play a good poker tournament with a very big prize-pool.
    The Cavan Open 2009 will be a €500 + €50 reg game, the reason its €300 this year is that its easier to give out tickets at that price in my smaller games (of which I have already given out 60!)
    Thank you all for your replies to this thread,
    Mick

    There seems to be some confusion, the game i'm advertising in this thread is a satellite for this years CPO, which is a€100 + €10 reg game with one rebuy or top up for €50. This years Cavan Poker Open details can be found at http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055318626
    under the Hibernian poker news thread. I'm sorry if I didn't make that very clear, i'm still getting the hang of this Boards.ie thing.
    The CPO 2008 will be fully dealer dealt...

    The side games were reg free last year.

    Mr. Wolf, keep posting on boards. It is a good forum. Some people arn't good with there maths. 10% reg is perfectly acceptable. 500/50=10 for the dim ones.

    As for this sat. I may just try my luck. Gl with it.
