So the 15k guarantee will be given out in normal money prizes and the ladbrokes thing is added for the winner?

Edit: If so, looks good, might well be there.

i made a ladbrokes account using that code, how do i know that i am ok for the promotion?

VEGAS NIGHTS

Just to clarify (and sorry for the confusion )

The Veags Package goes to the last person in the tournament who has played at least one of our Sunday online tournies. You do not need to be taggd as a VN player to qualify for the package.

However, It is the taggd players who have earned us this package so if anyone is going to sign up a new account then We would really appreciate them being taggd as a VN player.....We do need 100 taggd players to recieve the package. At present we have 34

VEGAS NIGHTS

Only two more of our weekly online games left before this game. If anyone here is intending to play this game you will need to play at least one of our online tournies to qualify for the WSOP package.

OK, great news....

We got the ticket!!

We are still a little short of the 100 needed but Ladbrokes have confirmed they will give us the ticket in good fate:);)

VEGAS NIGHTS

The room space is limited to 200 players. If anyone wants to secure a place in this game I have tickets on me all the time. You can pop in to any VN game and I can give you a ticket there. The tickets are valued at E50 so you can just buy one to secure your place or two or three....which ever suits you...

VEGAS NIGHTS

If anyone is intending to play this game and wants to qualify for the Vegas Package then you need to have played at least one of our Sunday online $20 Freezeouts. With 4,000 stack and 12min blinds there is lots of play in the game.

Also Ladbrokes have added 2 seats in the weekly online Killarney sattelite to this weeks prizepool (Sun 10th May). These seats are valued at E110 each.

The game is in the main tournament lobby at 9pm every Sunday
Tittled "VN Weekly Tournament"
Password is "vegasnights"

If anyone is setting up a new account would you please bare this in mind......
The package is being given by Ladbrokes on the grounds of us getting 100 players signed up and taggd as Vegas Nights players. We are still a little short of that figgure and need your co-operation reaching that target.

Please please please if you are setting up a new account for this will you become a Vegas Nights taggd player by entering "VEGASNIGHTS" in the "promotional code" field during registration.

Hi,

I'll look in to a suitable break time for the Hinekin cup....thanks for the heads up;)

The best way to register is to buy at least one of the E50 tickets. That will secure your place and the balance can be paid on the day.

Im around the Dublin area most days so if you call me Im sure I can meet you somewhwere during the week that suits.

Thanks;

VEGAS NIGHTS

Im organising an online sat for this which will be held on Friday 22nd May (The night before the event). Anyone who plays the sat will also qualify for the Vegas Package in the main Event.

I'll post full details of the online sat here when I have them

DeviantD

Hi Nick,
Do you have any ideas of numbers for the game,
How much is the buy in to the online sat on Friday night

bpricey

hi can i book a place in this, ben price

Flushdraw

Hi Nick,

Glad you got the ticket in advance, and hopefully you'll get enough people tagged so Laddies keep faith.

Just a couple of questions.

If i reg for Sundays tournie, i'm eligible for the WSOP added package? Will everybody that plays the live main event be tagged as they enter so we'll know who's in with a shout and who you have to outlast?

What exactly is the €20+€2 online tournie? Just a private tournie where you occasionally get tickets added, or is it a satellite?

Will the €15k gtd prizepool be divided standard(ish) where you pay top 10%?

This seems like a really good game and i'm hoping to play

VEGAS NIGHTS

Hey Tony,

If i reg for Sundays tournie, i'm eligible for the WSOP added package?

Yes, anyone who is registered for at least one of our Sunday online games is eligible for the WSOP Package.

Will everybody that plays the live main event be tagged as they enter so we'll know who's in with a shout and who you have to outlast?

LOL I hadn't thought of this:D. Interesting though. I'll ask the other players what they think of the idea. Maybe people here could also give their 2cents worth on this aslo.

What exactly is the €20+€2 online tournie? Just a private tournie where you occasionally get tickets added, or is it a satellite?

The weekly $20 tournament is a game we put together for VN players. It's a very "sociable" online tournament (If there is such a thing lol). We get around 30 players and with a 4K stack there is plenty of play. Anyone is welcome really though.....the more the better. It is not a sat for anything....just our game;). For the past 5 weeks Ladbrokes have being adding 2 tickets to the weekly online Kilarney Sat. These tickets are worth E100 which is a nice addition to the pot given the buy in and reg fee.

Will the €15k gtd prizepool be divided standard(ish) where you pay top 10%?

Yes, we will pay 10%ish standard pay out

Chat soon annd hope you make it

Cheers for the reply Nick,

I think the above point is really important. The added package is a great pulling point for a lot of boardsies on here to play. The majority, i'd assume, would be thinking "Great, i just need to outlast a few pub players to get the package" which is probably not the case.

Not sure what % of your players that play the online games will fork out the €170 but i'd hazard a guess at about 25% of the field. Its a great structure tournament and one that a lot of players would fancy themselves in.

The last thing i'd like to see is the goalposts getting moved halfway where we're not sure who's left in the promotion and who's not.

If for example, i make the final table and i know there's only 2 other players in the promotion, my aim becomes outlasting them as the prize of the package is more than 1st prize in the tourney will be. This will have a drastic affect on how i play, and whether i'm willing to take flips etc.

If you couldnt tell me for sure who is in the promotion, i dont think i'd play because its a vital piece of information thats missing.

Also interested to know other peoples opinion. Cheers

Tony

VEGAS NIGHTS

I had intending putting a list of all the eligible people on the wall and crossing them out as they get knocked out. But if the general feeling on this is to wear a badge then by all means I will organise that in addition to the list on the wall

DeviantD

I think a discreet list on the wall will suffice. If you have players wearing a badge it will encourage other players to make more plays on you as you are not willing to risk your stack because you are trying to out last other players

This is what poker is all about. You're saying the above like its a bad thing or something?? I wont know who Jimmy Fitzpatrick or Michael McTaggart is, so a name on the wall is no use to me.

Hi,

Its very hard get an accurate idea of numbers in advance of these games. It has been very well advertised and seems to have plenty of interest. I think it could be anywhere between 120 and 200. I think we'll have a good idea after this Sundays online game as people are trying to qualify for the WSOP package.

My guess at the moment is 172:cool: (I have a frightening abillity for guessing these things very accurately:eek:)

Lady Di

So it'll be grand to turn up on the day to register!?

meself mark b and larry from the westbury are defos just booked the room lol see ye next week

Im getting very mixwd opinions on this

Im thinking if it is a 50/50 then I'ld probably go on the side of not tagging players. I would still place a list on the wall. Any further thoughts on this????

i'm tagged as a vn player, if i play the sat on friday night on laddies for this i'll qualify for the vegas package on saturday?

There's a last chance saloon for qualifying for the Vegas Package...

We have an online sat organised on Ladbrokes on Friday 22nd May (The night before the live event). Anyone who plays the online sat will also qualify for the Vegas Package.

Online sat details as follows...

Date: Fri 22nd May
Venue: Ladbrokespoker.com
Tittled: VN Green Isle Satellite
Password: vegasnights
Reg opens: Weds evening
Game starts: 9pm, Fri 22nd may
Buy in: €30 +€3 Freezeout
Prizes: One complete entry into VN Green Isle game for every €170 in the pot. (This money will not be paid out in Cash. Winners entry will be automaticly reserved for them).

VEGAS NIGHTS

Here are the details of food and beverages that I have organised with the hotel. I feel that this is an area that can at times be unsatisfactory to players. I have arranged what I feel is adequit and fair to players in respect of the buy in.

I would greatly apreciate feedback on this now in advance of the event so that if people feel it is inadequit or unfair I may be able to alter the arangements in advance

1) Game starts 2pm to allow players to have already organised their own lunch.

2) During the dinner break (aprox 6pm) there will be a full extensive carvery available to all players. The regular price of the carvery is €13. The hotel will give it to us for €12. I will be giving each player a meal voucher valued at €5. This will allow players to order a full dinner from the carvery and only have to pay €7 themselves along with the VN meal voucher. I decided to not go with platters of finger food as I feel it quite often doesn't meet players satisfaction.

3) Trays of sandwiches will be available at 1am

4) The bar will be open during regular bar trading hours.

5) The residents bar will remain open for residents only after regular bar hours.

6) The Hotel will keep a tea/coffee dock open throughout the night which a night porter will serve from. This is not a free service and players would need to pay the hotel for these beverages.

7) All Dealers will be given a full meal voucher.

8) I have 100 small bottles of water for dealers to help themselves to at any time.


All feedback welcome please

The hotel doesn't have TV access in their function rooms. This was a problem I had at the Bruce Poker launch festival.

We tried getting a live feed over the internet but it was to slow to watch.
