    yes i would like the see one in Tallaght aswell if possible


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 636 ✭✭✭The Poker Room


    There is a €10 entry and a €10 rebuy tonight for the main event.

    We guarantee one ticket regardless of runners. So if you show up and its just you and you give us €10 you would get a ticket.

    1 ticket for every €220 collected. 100% payout minus €5 reg per player.

    This is a very popular event and if you don't want the ticket i am sure you can sell it for face value.

    Many thanks

    Hopefully get out tonight.

    When can you rebuy? Straight away/when you have less than starting stack/when you drop below 500/when you lose all your chips etc?

    You can Re-buy when you want,

    J


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 631 ✭✭✭gman127


    For as much as you want! :D

    I dont get you?

    So after the first hand i can say "Here's €40..give me 12k chips"??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭afex


    think thats the way they work it tony... played 2 weeks ago and paid 20
    to start with 6k chips...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,187 ✭✭✭Flushdraw


    40 runners for this. 6 tickets and a bit of cash for 7th-8th.

    I finished 9th and Fergus 10th :rolleyes:

    I can get my head around the unlimited rebuys for as much as you want, but having unlimited top-ups at the break makes a bit of a mockery of the game imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,286 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    Sounds ridiculous.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 636 ✭✭✭The Poker Room


    The average spend tonight was €40

    Its obviously done this way to ensure that there is more money in the prize pool to give you more tickets.

    We don't make anything on it gives better players more value.

    Hard to make a good Satalite for a small buy in game if you have a better idea for the future more than happy to consider it.

    Thanks Ross.

    Hi Ross,

    The unlimited add-ons was only announced about 15 minutes from the end of the rebuy period. I was aware of the unlimited rebuys but i expected there to be one add-on/top-up. If i had of known, i wouldn't have spend €30 on rebuys to get 9k chips 20 mins from the end, when all i had to do was sit on 1k chips and spend €30 to get 15k at the break.

    I bought in for 6k, had 12k after 15 minutes so i would have just went for a few pints and came back and topped-up an extra 15k if i had of known. But i think that a double add-on is the most that should ever be offered.

    I never played a satellite with antes before either, but i think that worked well. Made stealing a lot easier and forced some people to make moves earlier than they would had there been no antes.

    The TD ran the tournament really well and updated the rebuys/players gone etc as soon as they happened which is getting rarer and rarer these days.

    Tony
