That reminds me I have a ticket for €150 from last August (07!)- totally forgot about it! If not valid then no worries.

Very nice spot prizes too especially with everyone in with the same odds to win!

Yep tickets are still valid. The only time a ticket is not valid is if i have a guaranteed prize pool and there's an overlay the ticket go towards covering the overlay.

The starting stacks are correct.

I played this game when Nick and myself ran the poker in Winners and with 60 players the game would go on until around 3/4am.

We are expecting around 150 players for this game for the Friday night and we've put a limit of 250 players on the Saturday do to limited space.

Sorry.

Looks Great

Best of luck to Paul Small wood and all at Brucepoker with this

Neill and all at Big Slick

Looks great and will definitely be playing at least one of these.

Just to confirm, the Bruce Poker account would have to be set up before the Friday tournament and there's no minimum deposit - even $10 counts?? (tightwad alert!!)

The account can be opened on the day. But the tournament will start on time and if there is a large amount of players wanting to sign up before the game starts you could end up missing a large part of the 1st level or so.

So my advice to sign up before the day.

Also the min deposit is $50

brucepoker.com are offering 200% match up to a bonus of $3000. I'm no expert on this and not 100% of how it relates to cash players but for stt players it works out at 62.5% back which is excellent and probably the best sign up bonus
available anywhere

Looks good, just wondering where the Green Isle Hotel is??? cant seem to be able to place it.

Just down the road from the Red Cow Hotel on the way to City West Hotel.

If coming from the Red Cow Direction you'd turn right at Newlands Cross and take the 2nd left, follow the road around until you are back out on the Naas Road.

There is a turn to the right just before the Naas road. Its about 300 yards up on the left hand side.

Give me more numbers and I will be able figure it out.
How many ipoker points will be required to complete it?
How long is the bonus valid for?

rag2gar

Very impreesed JP and Bruce Poker. This is what poker players want: gaurantees and added money is easilly the best way to look after your players

Cooker Brucepoker are on the ongame network and the points are awarded 5 points per tourney $1 paid and the bonus( $1 for 8 points )is released over 90 days in four installments of $750 for those who take up the full bonus.

In cash games 0.1 points for every $0.10 rake paid is awarded, All players that have invested money in the pot will be awarded an equal number of player points (Pot has to be raked). Players that do not contribute with any money to the pot will not receive player points. So as you can see easy to work it out for the tournaments but I'm not sure how to calculate it for the ring games although I think tournament/stt players get the best of it the way its set up

cooker3

Oh it's on Ongame, didn't realise that. That's a bit harder to figure out but I have rough idea of how that works out. Depends on playing style and stuff like that

yeah i was trying to gage it myself and cant put an exact figure on what its worth to ring players but all i could come up with was a fairly wide range but its deffo excellent for anyone playing stts like me:)

JP Poker

There has already been alot of interest in the main event. Just to let everyone know this will be capped at 250 players.

Registration will be open soon on Bruce Poker, i will be running sats and so will Bruce.

ROONEYED BY 2/3

What are the stt's like? I've only ever played them extensively on i-poker. I'd be playing $20 - $100 6-max stts. What are the structures like? The 62.5% sounds sweet.

Well done JP, Bruce, Nicky and Paul on this. Should be a really great festival and 62.5% RB is a tempting deal indeed.

Stick me down for Saturday please JP.

Going to have a look at signing up later. Is there a bonus code or do we just qualify the bonus when we sign up. Can I reg for main event online? How long and how much would I get back if I deposit $500 and play around 15 x $10 stt's a day?
Is there a rakeback deal that would be better to sign up for over the long term?
I play a lot on 2 other sites with no bonus or rakeback and I'm a bit tired of it, but my bankroll is tied up in those sites.
Is it better to just cash out and just start again with a rakeback deal. Sorry about going off subject.

JP please stick me down for this festival . I trust I don't need to join an online site to register for this live event.
