Think I'll give it a pop tonight. Don't fancy a late one on Friday in Citywest particularly if I'm gonna play the ME anyway.

John/Alex - any idea on numbers yet ?

I was speaking with Alex last night. He said they had received alot of interest for the satellite and he was hopeful that he might get 4 tickets.

39 Runners, 36 rebuys/addons. Finished at 0400. 4 tickets generated with €900 for 5th. After playing 6 handed for about an hour, deal was done to split the €900 for 5th into €450 for 5th and 6th. Mark (AKQJT) and another fellow got the €450. The tickets were won by Mark (tall American), Alan, young curly haired chap (didn't catch his name), and myself (being the designated card rack for the night).

Onward to Citywest!

I've got to work a normal enough set of hours and while I would have loved to play last night, I figured it would be a 4am job. Just can't be done by people like me - I think the clubs lose out big time on numbers for this reason. Anyone else feel the same. Needs a quicker structure and over by 2am latest.

I do play regularly enough at the SE at weekends, notably bigger tournaments. Play a fair bit in London and don't have the same problem there.

Sorry to go off the thread topic but the sate is over so here goes....so is it qualifying or the SE is your gripe?

6 tickets in the Last Chance Saloon Grand Final last night.

we've added a load of extra feeders too

Finished at around 1.30 am. No travel.
Have you got internet/computer?

mikser

Thanks for that robinblinds ... good pointer. I will be playing on Saturday, but would have liked a live sat in SE last night, just didn't suit.

BTW think SE is a great set-up and the lads running it do a very good job.

In rel to satellite, just pointing out that there's another market out there that can' t play that late mid-week, but could make a difference to the clubs if it could be won over and accommodated.

robinblinds

True mikser...a lot of ppl like a live game for a bit of banter mid week, me included. However, and in fairness to the SE, the only way to offer a good structure with a reasonable buy in for a €1500 buy in live tourney was more or less exactly what they offered last night.

I think that showed with four tickets being generated.

mikser

Can't argue with the numbers .... and I get and take the point.

My argument is from an amateur's perspective - obviously I am happy to compromise the correct structure for an evening that fits a working schedule.

So be it ... genuinely glad they got the numbers.

Maybe they need a turbo event for the likes of me (might be on me own).

Pub tournaments cater for that audience largely. For every person a casino attracts by having crapshoots, they will lose at least one in my opinion and it won't sustain itself. A lot of people will ask for longer structures or go somewhere that has them. 6 of one tbh.
