Its Day 1 5pm and Day 2 2pm George

LuckyLloyd

Richie, looks like a sick structure for these games - fair play.

Now, I know this is always a difficult question to ask and I feel slightly foolish for asking it. But it would affect whether I would make arrangements to travel down or not:

- what ballpark number of runners are you expecting?

pete1234

Very sick structure, serious value for money, and i will definately play this if the numbers are decent!!

Goodluck2me

Good idea, hope to support it.

ffs leave something for us mere mortals:p

BigCityBanker

^^pete/lloyd - can I ask what you see more appealing about this structure than others?

in any case, it looks like a really good event, i was debating hitting dusk till dawn this particular weekend but i think i may hit the south east instead.

Are strawberries in season in December?

rag2gar

Excellent. Looking forward to this...

Between satellite qualifiers and people regged there's 27 tickets sold so far.
Tough to give an estimate of number of runners are you can imagine.

DAMO72

Just a quick question , when was this organised as it clashes with the Cavan poker open the same wk end

aidankk

Richie if you get onto Aidan Coonan at the Flush poker club in kilkenny, id say he could get a few sats going, between kk and bagnalstown

20k stack,with 1 hour levels and nearly every level possible. Most tournies with this buy in has a 10k or maybe 15k stack.
I have to say that the winter festival also was an excellent structure, i had feared it might turn a little nasty going back on day 3 wit the average stack of 19 bb but it didnt at all.
You did a good job Noel as did the rest of the PaddyPower crew!

Structure looks super for this tournament.

Any idea how many levels you're gonna have friday night or what time u reckon it'll run til Richie??

Playing ECOOP event at 8pm on the 5th, so just wondered if I'd lose much blinds if I dont show up for first few levels....

We had to clash with somethin Damian as were short of weekends beforew christmas, and the week before was the macau game which is a lot closer to us and would probably affect us more

Well Richie,


I knew u would put this together well , Listen Micky asked if we could help out so if u need anything just call me ok , Looks good mate

Any online sats for this or live sats in the Galway/Limerick area?

kakak1

looks good Richie, best of luck with it.

Hopefully there will be some local satellites & if not will probably play the Thursday satellite. Possibly one of the side events if not in the ME.

I take it there's no upper age limit

doke

Yeah, the 20K stack is great because it means you can take a few hits early on and still do well. 10K seems like a lot until you lose your first few pots.

This looks like a brilliant tournament and one I'll definitely try to play.

thechamp87

I actually prefer a smaller stack with a longer clock. Best of luck with it, Richie, hope it gets a good turnout.

TheRock

Looks good Richie, good luck with it.
I'll try make it down at some point over the weekend.

Apologises for the confusion my old friend

RichieLawlor

25 last night, 2 more tickets plus cash, its buliding up nicely

mdwexford

There will be betting available on all runners closer to the time and when there is a better idea of numbers and betting in running throughout the tournament as well.
