Leprechaun European Poker Open...New Thread

BigCityBanker

I dont know if this has been covered or not. But if I play the event will my prizemoney be paid in cash on the day? Or will it be paid into my poker account? I dont really want to scoop 10k and then have to wait around for the withdrawal process to complete before I can get my greasy hands on the cash - I mean the regulars in the Fitz would be outraged at this barrier to me doing my brains in there!! :pac:

can you let me know, it might sway me towards playing or not.

I'd like to know the answer to that as well, would prefer to have the cash paid out on the day. Can you confirm which will be the case please?

Also, I have a few other questions about the tournament, could you PM me a number I could get you on.

Cheers,
Adam

HI BCB,
Good to hear from someone oozing with so much confidence..
Be careful we don't put a bounty on ya..:pac:

Glad you brought this up, as it was something we have thought long and hard about.

In the interest of security (both ourselves and players) we decided on the safest option, which is to pay prizemonies back to players accounts.

We However, will endevour to make sure that winners will be able to withdraw as expeditiously as is possible.


Thanks again for your input

IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT YOU COULD FURNISH DETAILS OF YOUR WIN RATES ETC, I AM TRYING TO CALCULATE ODDS

maybe as you are in the business, you would like to assist us in creating odds of players scooping 10k + into their greasy hands

i admire your confidence, you are clearly playing well /running hot and have correctly set your sights on the main target, i.e. top 1% of players

we hope you can make the event and that you do really well too, i wont put your name on the trophy just yet though, as luck sometimes plays a part in poker tournaments, good and bad

thanks for your input Noel, always a pleasure

The poker room tallaght are doin satellites for this tourney, are you linked with these sats and do you know what the story is with them? Or do i have to ask them to find out?

Grafter

What day is yer man Mad Marty playing?

I was looking forward to this until I heard he was coming.

Is there a bounty on his head?

If there is, do we have to cut it off to win, or will shooting him be OK?

Yeah, Ross has kindly agreed to hold a few sats..

But you would need to discuss the finer details with him

Thanks

That's a shame Grafter, especially after he asked for the draw to be fixed so as he could sit next to ya..:D

Day 1b (Me thinks):eek:

Mad Marty has a bizzarre sense of humour, so bizzarre in fact that it can come accross as quite funny and lots of people like his kind of lunacy

he is called MAD Marty for a reason, that reason my be because he is in fact actually MAD

I think he is very amusing, but then i am a bit mad myself, so that could explain a lot

if you find yourself stiing next to Mr Marty, dont like his madcap fun, and dont own a set of earplugs, just ask to be moved or to have him moved

we dont mind anyone asking, even you

however, we may move you to a table with Big City Banker on it and there is only 1 move allowed per day

hope to see you go deep at this one

I have to be honest and say that because of this, I will not be playing the tournament. At all the bigger live events the prize money is available to be payed out on the day, so this shouldn't be a problem. I don't see why other tournament organisers, with much bigger prizepools, can have this option available and you can't. I don't mean to sound smart when I say this, but if you are offering free parking and courtesy coaches, then surely you can afford to have proper security in place to watch over things. In fairness these days in a large poker tournament €50,000 isn't a lot.

Paying out on the day makes everything much more transparent and I would be much more inclined to play to if it was payed on the day. Because of this lack of transparency I think a lot of people will be turned away.

Good luck with the event though. It looks good, and fair play for taking on board the suggestions by various people regarding the structure.

Adam

The Little Guy

The only answer I can give you on this is;

We're not the first to pay out in this way, and no doubt this tournament won't be the last either

I'm sorry you feel unable to attend because of this

Good luck

Bru

I'd much prefer physical payouts too, but it probably won't stop me playing.

Hi Bru,
Why not consider the best of both worlds and keep everybody happy. Would it be possible to pay out 30% cash and the remainder into an account?
Its handy for players who want to leave a decent tip, play cash tables and celebrate their winnings to have some of their winnings paid on the day.
Loks like a great event,

I think this would be a good idea, for the reasons above.

Might get some more players aswell.

The Little Guy

Connie & JP Thanks for stealing my thunder...LOL

I was due to make this announcement next week.

The Leprechaun European Poker Open has just been granted European Ranking Status.

In Order to fulfill our obligations for this we cannot restrict all registrations to happen online.

We have authorised a few clubs around the country to organise satellites for the event, tickets for which will be valued at €200+€20.
We will pay this cash out on the day on a percentage basis.

The clubs concerned will communicate with their members.
Any club wishing to be added should contact me directly.

I hope this is as clear as mud to you as it is to me:)

Thanks

Bru

The Clamper

yes, thats perfectly clear

a % can be paid on the day in cash

this % to be finalised in time

European Ranking points are very important to a lot of players and will certainly encourage them towards turning up

I think its a bit strong to suggest non transparency, but if that how not paying on the day is perceived by a player, then that is their right

Its a pity that it would stop somone from playing and if that situation should change, we will post it here

Its really great to get suggestions from people as to how we might improve the event and we have taken them on board in an effort to make it super dooper

we look forward to seeing you there, keep them suggestions coming

Thanks

Derek

There's a very high probability that this will be the last European Ranking Tournament of 2008.

So it could get interesting.

I just reged now and there is 9 I think so far... but this is normal enough for this early stage I guess... looks an excellent event and deserves to do well

The Poker Room

Based on the response to the satellite tonight, I think we will have sold 30 tix before the event.

3 tickets went tonight and we had problems with texting today so i would image we will have even more runners next week.

Also i will ensure that The Poker Room supports this event 100% and will run free transport etc from tallaght.

Looking forward to it myself, based on recent performance I would think that will exit the tourny early and then have some fun playing cash.

No heads up for me this time. Hope to see you there.

( We will be supplying a couple of very attractive masseuses for this event if your stressed no worries.)

Wolves

So if I was to get a ticket in a cardroom and I dont have an online account I will be able to get any winnings on the day right?

yes, never evr approach a clamper from the rear
WELL, not unless you have money in your hand


i saw a street one Saturday evening near Temple Bar with 27 cars in a line, all with nice new, shiny, glossy yellow accessories attached, catching the moonlight at just the right angle

i'm sure now that i recall it, as i looked on in awe,
i think i was actually aroused

Hmmmmmm, makes you feel all warm inside

PokerNit

Just registered for this now. When is the freerole happening for the first 100 that register?

Thanks

Derek - how much to get a clamp taken off anyway?

I was just figuring it might be easier (and cheaper) to just get my car clamped outside the fitz for this weekend instead of paying for the parking every couple hours.
