DeadParrot

Tempted to play the scalps game.
One or two questions though.
Is is planned to finish in one night? 8pm start sounds late.
How good is the standard Omaha donk in the Fitz considering its where the bigger PLO games are?
Is Monday a bank Holiday?

Is is planned to finish in one night? 8pm start sounds late. It is planned to be a 1 day event, it runs fairly fast later on... I would say that with the unlimited re-buys there will be some serious big stacks around putting pressure on hte shorter stacks.

How good is the standard Omaha donk in the Fitz considering its where the bigger PLO games are? The Omaha big game, gets the same pool of players playing it on a regular basis. The Fitz is probably the only club that gets a regular €50 omaha going with a feeder table aswell. The Omaha tournament game will attract the "better" players from around the Dublin Circuit, but that is also dependent on who is playing in the Macau

Is Monday a bank Holiday?No Monday is not a bank holiday. It is really dependent on the numbers whether the main event will be a 3 day event. The schalps game could turn a bit mental though....

Hope the stuff above helps a bit

DeadParrot

Thanks Collette
I was talking about the PLO scalps though as late starting for a 1 day 10k stack game

Sunday 30th November: €250+50+20 Omaha Scalps Freezeout 8pm

would anyone know roughly how many players the main event is going to get?? it's down as a 3 day event so i'm guessing pretty decent?

i won a ticket the other night and there's a strong chance i won't be able to play (anyone know what the craic is with trying to sell it?)

thanks for the help

Wolves

Can anyone tell me the name of hotel beside the fitz? I was told it was about 2 or 3 doors down and was very good.

5starpool

Plenty of hotels within 5 mins walk such as the Davenport, but none a few doors down from it.

is there not a fancy hotel on the corner?

5starpool

Which corner? If there is it is a fairly low key one in one of those georgian houses that I have never noticed. Not saying it is impossible, but I have never seen it.

Ace2007

yea there is one near the corner - around 10 doors up from the fitz...

Thought I would let you all know that I will be the Tournament Director for the Main Event. I will be around for some of the other events also. Looking forward to seeing many of you there.

An example of how this works in practice: Registration closes at 5:45 pm. There are 123 registered players. At 6pm these 123 players will start on 15 tables: 12 tables of 8 and 3 tables of 9. Registration continues and another 45 players register. The first 27 of these are put into the free seats at the tables, with no chip penalty. The next 18 will be alternates. As players bust out, these players will take their seats. If an alternate is put into a table 1 hour and 45 minutes after the tournament begins, he will be given the starting stack less five rounds of blinds (3x75 and 2x150, 525 chips). These chips are put into play at the rate of one small blind (50) per hand.

I must bring this into practice in my own tournaments too.

Looks like a great festival, are there any sats on Thursday for the main event, I would even make my way in for a well structured €200 STT with two tickets on offer?

doke

Great to see you back Marq. I qualified on Irish Eyes last week so I'll see you there.

TommyGunne

Might play the EOM if I feel up to speed with study. What sort of numbers expected?

Last super sat is on Wednesday this week, but if there are enough to have an STT at any time then as long as there is a dealer and a table I'm sure they will accommodate when the demand is there.

That was clever, but would 'Déplacer des niveaux' not be better?
