I played it a few weeks ago and there was loads of play, and lots of value which was missing from CHL's plenty of new players, old players and the craic is generally very good there too. it doenst finish ridiculously late either which was nice.

37 players and an even ten way deal , talk about playing with scared money . 700 for the winner which even then was chopped three ways. Good God

Yeah think i was to your left on the small table when there was still 3 tables, polka dot jacket. In regard to deal it was done cos we'd prob still be playing now the way it was looking like before the start of the final table!!! 1st idea was to give everyone there buy-in back and play on for the rest (2700 i think) but then someone came up with the other suggestion and a lot of the table jumped at it and altho wasn't ideal was bit wrecked by that stage so just accepted. Looking at it retrospectively i wouldn't agree to that type of deal again

sickpuppy

This has to be one of the most ridiculous deals ive ever heard of.
37 runners 10 way chop ahahahahahahhaha why do these people bother playing? Obv to get your money back.
The value at final tables like these is huge people are so busto skint in dire need of moving up aplace in the money you can walk all over them.
Any final table i get to i straight away say no deals play stops all the wanna be negotiators making a mess of the prize pool.
Were supposed to be in a recession but this takes the biscuit id personally eb ashamed if i partook in this joke.:pac:

i agree about the 10 way chop being a joke
but not long ago you made a final table and a deal was done where everyone took 6K :D

sickpuppy

Your right ace im a total hypochrite.
I mean a100 quid freezeout which youd pay into and a 75k sng which was free roll are very much a like.

wendelsailor

That deal is disgusting! Lol at anyone who was involved in it!

Goodluck2me

I remember two summers ago in Ceasars there was a 32 way chop.... 500 runners $320 Freezeout. Puke:pac:

I have to say, I really enjoy the Friday game in silks and I played in every one. I was delighted to see such a good turn out on.
Shame it was spoilt by the 10-way chop.... I know there is lots of pressure on people when a deal is mentioned; nobody wants to look like a tight git....
But a 10-way chop leaving €700 to play for from a €3,700 prize pool is ridiculous, I am glad I busted out with 2 tables left.

Hope this doesn’t have a bad effect on the numbers, just when it was starting to get going.....

Nice tourney... well done to the lads organising it...

Jayminator

LMAO @ the 10 way chop. ffs.... One of these fridays I am hoping to go play in Silks. There ll be no 10 way chop on my watch. Even if i'm knocked out i ll still object. Silly silly deal.

Too many students on that FT I reckon.

tylerdurden94

I'm not adverse to doing deals at all, i don't like being the guy that says no but in this instance i defiantly would not of agreed to it.

Ace2007

Anyone playing this 2ntie?
just wondering does it start @ 8:30 on the dot - last week i meant to go but was running late so didn't bother....

but tonight i should make it in.

bohsman

Should be able to get in till 10 anyway Donal, usually starts by 9.

Get In There

Will there ever be 20e sats introduced prior to the 100e game just like there was in CHL? The way the economy is, I cant afford to be spendin 100e a week on the Friday night game which was a lot of fun in CHL.. I loved CHL and havent developed the same affinity for silks cos I'm being priced out tbh. I've only been in silks once on a sat nite but I much rather play poker on friday nights and go out on the beer on sat night. Plus havin 20e sats on friday nights wud get a few extra runners for the 100e game and get a few exta ppl inside the casino??

bohsman

Good call Ciaran, its been discussed and will hopefully be in in the next couple of weeks.
