    Where you coming? Had you called and reg'd?

    So the antes start earlier that is not a big change. Oh apart from the guarantee that wasn't there before. A guarantee is a good thing no?

    It's very easy to put a gaurantee up when you allready have 40 tickets gone out through sat's , so that's not really a gaurantee is it . And how many of the 40 are aware of the change of structure ??? will they be notified and offered a cash alternative for their seat if they are not happy with the false advertising ????? I think mr wolf should be answering these question's and not one of his many cult like brainwashed follower's

    Hello Ironclown. You've been very quiet lately. I have 25 tickets out at this stage for this game, the general concensus among those players is that if the numbers are less than 80 it could be finished on the one night with breaks given etc. With this in mind I have altered the structure by removing three levels and introducing antes 3 levels earlier.
    The decision to come back on day two will ultimately be made by the players themselves. I have the room booked and paid for for both nights so it makes no difference to me.
    I had 42 tickets given out in total, but 17 of the players who had won them asked could they use their tickets for other games I ran. (Including 5 in last Saturdays Irish Open Satellite) I have absolutely no problem with that. If you have a ticket ironclown you may cash it in.
    I am guaranteeing €8,000 in prize money, I have €5,000 of it from the 25 tickets I have given out. I'm sure that this provides value to poker players wishing to play this game. I posted a thread two weeks ago which received very little feed back from Boards players. You don't seem interested in any other threads Ironclown, you only ever respond to mine. I'd really love to know what your problem is with me.

    Was this originally advertised as an IO Satelite or am I dreaming, its quite possible I am?! Another silly question, how far is Virginia from The Radisson in Cavan? Sorry just not very familiar with Cavan!

    Here we go again with the insults Mr Wolf, I have never at any time insulted you by childish name calling , but if you feel the need to then you go ahead , it only belittle's you . I have no problem with you , yet you seem to take it personally when i ask legitimate questions . KPnuts has pointed out that there has been a drastic change to the origonal structure which you advertised and i am just inquireing as to whether you have contacted the ticket holders and offered them a cash alternative for their seat as it is an entirely different tournament they have won seat's for.
    Also if there was something wrong with the origonal structure then im sure poster's on here would have let you know . If it's not broken then don't fix it . Anyway goodluck with it, I will most probably be joining Kpnuts at the March Madness Weekend in the Jackpot.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Mr. Wolf


    Hi Lady Di, sorry I ran my IO Satellite the Saturday before last, it was a €205 Freeze-out.
    This game will have at least the price of an Irish Open ticket as first prize and possibly 2nd (depending on numbers) but I will be paying the entire final table at least so it is not a satellite as such.
    The Radisson is in Cavan Town, Virginia is a 20 minute drive towards Dublin from Cavan Town. Lemme know if you're interested in playing and I'll keep you a spot.
    Mick


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Mr. Wolf


    Hello Ironclown, I have not insulted anyone here. The players who won tickets for the €200 freeze-out know that they can have a cash alternative. I have always given a cash alternative to any tickets whcih I give out as part of a prize-pool.
    This game was scheduled as a €200+€20 reg freeze-out with a $20,000 starting stack and 45 minute blinds which it will remain.
    Many players (both ticket holders and non-ticket holders) have expressed a desire to get the game finished in one night if at all possible, or at least to get to the money places by the end of day 1. The best way to do this is to introduce antes and remove (relatively) unnecessary blind levels. If a capacity crowd arrive on the night then I wil have no alternative but to let the game run for two days at which point I will re-introduce these levels. As for the antes, the intention here is to keep the game moving despite the slow blind pace.
    I don't take it personally when you ask me legitimate questions Ironclown, however you have only ever had 13 posts on this site. 3 of them seemed to be correcting other peoples spelling and 'grammer' (which is quite amusing) and 6 of them have been directed at me and the games I run.
    Do you not wish to play elsewhere or wish to question other operators on their game structures?

    Firstly I agree Ironman1 has a problem with you, but to keep referring to him as Ironclown is childish, insulting and really bad PR. Also he's been attack by other people in both threads which seem to be pals of yours. Anyway, I dont really care either way and don't know both of you, but it as put me right off attending this event. Its only an hour drive from my house and I was planning on going.

    Secondly the late change to the structure is a bit of a joke. Its now very fast even with 20k and 45 mins, but I agree it still as value in it. If you start of advertising a 2 day event with a deepstack structure, than you should stick to this. If there was no market for this event, well you learn the hard way and bite of more than you can chew and dont really know or understand your market place. I'm getting peed off with people posting events and than changing them because they dont get the response they wish for instead of doing a bit of market research before hand.

    Thirdly you have now mention you will change the structure on the day if you get the crowd you hope for in the first place...omg.

    I'm sorry Mick, you seem a decent guy trying to make some money from something that you think is easy, but you have now figure out its not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Mr. Wolf


    Thank you Ollieboy, I completely except what you are saying and would just like to assure you that I do know my market place and I have done the market research, however the current economic climate has cast a pall of uncertainty over big buy in games this year.

    Last years Cavan Poker Open only had 157 players, afaik there were many other tournaments whose numbers dropped from previous years including a couple where guarantees were withdrawn very late on.

    From the market research I have done it appears that getting this game close to a finish or finished by the end of day 1 is the more desirable option among the players. As I said in an earlier thread I have the hotel booked for the two nights so it doesn't make much difference to me.
    The changes which I have made in the tournament structure are minimal. I have removed the $25/$50 level, and the $600/$1,200 level, both of which are done without in many tournaments around the country. After 6 hours of play the ante is $100 and the blinds are 800/1500. This from a $20k starting stack seems good to me. Am I wrong here?
    I have put in my opening thread that blinds may be replayed or frozen at the tournament directors discretion which is what I will do if the game requires it.

    Thank you for your input Ollieboy, I am sorry to hear that you won't be joining us for this game. Unfortunately a large part in my decision to change the structure in line with my local players wishes came from the fact that there was very little interest among Boards players for this game as originally sceduled.

    I have been running poker tournaments for 4 years and work 5 or 6 nights a week. I don't think its easy but I do make a genuine attempt to run good value, good quality poker games.

    Looking forward to it Mr Wolf, still looks like a great tournament to me.
    Will you be starting at 8 sharp if the plan is to finish in one day? I think
    you have to do so.

    I have come to the conclusion that Ironman1 is a level. I mean
    you can't really be serious when 25% of your total posts are written to take others to task for spelling and grammatical errors, when your own
    contributions are littered with examples of bad grammar, spelling mistakes, (eg. allready, origonal, inquireing, and the absolute classic, grammer), and poor punctuation.
    He/She also gets highly offended (or pretends to) at any percieved
    slight, while dishing out plenty of abuse themselves.
    So the only question is, who is the joker in the pack? Afaik Mickymick isn't even aware this forum exists, so in my opinion it must be........................... PAT O' B.........Any thoughts?


    I did also consider Bingo, but I think he sticks to twoplustwo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Mr. Wolf


    Thanx D,
    Yes, I will be kicking off at 8pm sharp on the Friday, really looking forward to it at this stage.

    P.S. is 'bad grammer' an oxymoron or a tautology?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 723 ✭✭✭destroyer


    Its mostly just a pain in the ass!:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 Dyson147


    No destroyer i think its your alter ego!!!!.,.,or maybe micky mick is in touch with the internet and were not giving him credit!!!!!:P

    As for the real iornman,,,,,,,,mick is just accounting for variables.....the ORIGINAL structure was a great one for thr projected amount of players at the start. It has been changed as the game has had poor feedback on boards hence Mick is expecting fewer players than originally thought!.,.,.Yes the structure at the start would suit 150+ but it has been accepted that the turnout will be fewer so the structure now indeed makes more sense. The last time you did this you were proved wrong again and again annd you dissapeared.... Please repeat this!!!

    Hi Mick,

    As I already mention I agreed in my above post that I felt the structure was still good value, but if less players are planning to attend, than you should use the opportunity to give this value to the players that stump up the reg etc. But if the local market is telling you they would rather a faster structure for 200 quid than thats fine. I understand you got little response from boards, but I think that as more to do with the amount of tourneys going on at the moment than any problems with your structure.

    Good luck on Friday and hopefully you will get decent numbers.

    I would also recommend moving the structure to 10k starting stack with all levels at 40 minutues. This would create a fanastic game, but its far to late to be changing.

    Oliver

    I'm running hot lately, a dodgy dealer wont stop me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 723 ✭✭✭destroyer


    Mr Wolf, are you sure you can finish this in one day? I've just had another
    look at that structure and I think its going to be very very diffucult if not
    impossible to avoid coming back on Saturday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 Dyson147


    U willl be running alryte!!!.,.,but not hot,,,,,,,:D

    No i assume our current boylepoker leader and hibernian league climber will do very well this weekend!!!!.,.,.,Best of luck D!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Mr. Wolf


    Thanks for the advice Ollie, will definitely take all this into account for the next tournament, I just felt for this one that a more intense ante structure would keep the game moving at the required pace to at least get us to the final table after 10 or 12 hours of play. While not effecting the average stack/ big blind ratio etc.
    I can slow the game down if I feel it getting crap shooty at any stage, but its kinda hard to speed it up if its going far to slow.
    I've heard of you before Oliver and have heard great things about you and very much take on board everything you have said in your post (and yes I except that my PR skills in relation to Ironman were not very sophisticated but I believe I know who he is and am rather bemused at the abuse and fabrications he has used to attempt to undermine my tournaments)
    Thanks again for the feedback.
    Mick


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Mr. Wolf


    Yes Destroyer, it will be tight, but if we can at least get to the money places on Day 1, then there will be a good chance of running Day 2 as just the final table (remember the cavan Open Final Table took 9 hours to complete) and I am sure that we will have an excess of dealers so I would think that having the last two tables double dealt would speed up the process also.
    If that is the case then we could pick a time on the Saturday which is ammenable to all players remaining and finish it out in comfort.
    I am expecting about 60 to 70 players so about 1.5 million chips in play. Level 16 (about 10 hours in will have the blinds at $8k and $15k. I would picture us being well into the final table at this stage.
    I hope it doesn't sound like i'm winging this to much but I believe we will finish the tournament (if the players wish to finish it out on Day 1) at 8am.
    What do you think?

    ahem, no comment, sorry Iain , i'd originally put in 70 to 80 but decided to stick with a realistic figure, yes, 1.4 million in play with 70 players. We'll have to be close to or in the money by 6-7am. That would leave us with a nice 3 hour final table, 1 hour drinking vodka and all in bed by noon.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭Warper


    Hows the goin Mick? From reading this thread it appears you are keen to get it finished in the one night but the current structure makes this practically impossible - 20k starting stack and 45 min blinds starting at 8.00pm mightn't be finished until Sat afternoon.

    I would have no problem with finishing this on the Friday but for this to happen the structure would need to be altered. Anyways i'm looking forward to Friday and there will be 3 of us heading up.

    Cheers

    John


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Mr. Wolf


    Thanks John, looking forward to seeing you. I would love to come back on day 2. I live 5 minutes from the Lakeside Manor and i've the room booked for both days so my preference would be to start at 8pm sharp, play til about 5 or 6 am and come back at 6pm on the Saturday, however the numbers will dictate how this pans out.
    I'm not gonna alter the structure anymore than I have done (I've removed 2 levels and introduced antes earlier in the tournament already) rest assured it will be a fantastic tournament and a Clareman will be at the final table!

    Regardless of the length of this tournament. It is still an Irish Poker Ranking event.

    Points will be awarded as per Ranking criterion.

    We now have 28 tickets out for this game. Unfortunately our January league play off champion had to redeem his ticket due to other obligations. I am still confident of having 60 plus players on the day which will make a €12,000 plus prize pool. The €8,000 minimum guarantee will stand regardless of numbers.

    I dont hear people complaning about your games which are getting bigger all the time what is it 200+ players a week u must be doing something right:)
    Good luck for the weekend .

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Mr. Wolf


    Hi D, sick beat buddy, well played again, I really thought you'd take this one down.
    John White took the €5,000 first prize with Aidan 'The bull' Mc Cabe taking €2,200 for 2nd. A deal was done with 18 players left to take €500 off first, €300 off 2nd and €400 off third and pay players from 11th to 18th €150 each.
    Thanks to everyone who played this, i'm going back to bed now zzzz

    Sleep is for wimps, got home at 9:30 had breakfast and a shower, went to work, home at 7,
    fell asleep watching the soccer, but still think this was more to do with the quality of football on offer than sleep deprivation from the night before.
