WHY!!!! is this sunday only e5000 gtd when all of your sun games r e7000
i dont see nothing special about it
i was gonna go down to this but im not sure now

dream.

HI YA YEP the cross border classic is also on and with mothers day we see 5k as reasonable, if numbers stay at the level from the last game here we could hit 10k

reraise

the cross border classic is on friday and shud b well finished by sun, this is just another way of CPT doing what they want and to hell with their poker following.
in my opinion if u want to start the new year with a new START then if u gtd yr fri tournys @e5000 and yr sun games @e7000 then u should stick with the format, regardless of who else is on or watever the occasion is.

It seems you just can't win with some people Liam. There were no complaints the last couple of weeks when numbers were down but ye still paid out the guarantee with a big overlay in some cases. People just have to be realistic in these tough times, and realise that numbers at poker games are in decline. Everybody has to adjust their estimates from time to time. Cross border classic will have an effect on this CPT game as some people will only be able to play the one event per weekend. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for that feed back always good to get info and will take it into account, however we try to take account of the issues which affect the running of each game , in this case the cross border classic looks like being a great success and is a two day game, prob have some affect, mothers day will prob have some also, if they dont then the payout will be bigger and we all win ah! . Thanks again .

Thanks for that hopefully the numbers will be good but i think this is a reasonable figure, and if it suits people to play they will .

Hi Reraise,

It the best thing you could do is put on a game with guarantee's like Liam is offering and comeback to us and after a few months and let us know how you got on.

Hi Reraise,

I am in no way involved with CPT.

The reason I said that you should try running a few games like Liam is doing with guarantee's and to come back to us after a few months is....

Because most players simply don't understand how tough it is out there at the moment. Putting on any sort of a guarantee at the moment is a HUGH RISK!!

Numbers are down everywhere as a result of less disposable income and increased competition (of which CPT are competition to me). Some tournaments will continue to get big numbers as players follow the action.

Simply put Guarantee's are very risky and the fact that Liam is willing to put a guarantee on mother's day is even more risky and the reg fee's on the good days don't cover the overlay's on the bad days.

You should have a look and see what is on offer in other countries compared to Ireland. Irish poker players really get a great deal from the like of Liam, Neill, Connie ect.... It's the reason so many of the many travel here for our festivals.

dream.

Hey Guys thanks JP for that, best of luck with the masters in May, reraise, we put a guarantee on our games as a base line if it turns out that the no s are better than expected then the payout is bigger as we now payout 100% of prize pool as you know, so come along on Sunday enjoy the game hopefully cash or better still win it out, and come to the grand final in April €100,000 guaranteed. :cool:

tommyombomb

what time does anyone think the cash will start in cahir tomorrow. Pretty broke and only up for playing the tournament if i can get some cash in before and try and win the entry fee. Prob will play either way. Always love the celtic poker nights. great work guys

so we have established that JP is not involved with yoiur organisation but

after you telling us about taking down the photo of Mick ( the last known

owner) taking the money in the game you organised in Portlaoise. Well is he

the owner still, yes or no would do, very straight forward? come on liam give

us a straight answer did Mick give you his darling lorry Betsy???????

dream.

I thought the picture was the one of me on the final table , w o w l o l lmao such fun fcuk w o w :):rolleyes::rolleyes::pac::pac::pac:

theacher

Ah now just like you admitted to the boys on the mayo thread the picture of

Mick Foley (CPT owner) with his eyes looking down on the money in

portlaoise was taken down still again very good at avoiding a straight answer.

guess we'll never know not that it makes any difference its run the exact

same way, with just half the guarantee

Seriously man, what is your problem with CPT???? You keep asking about what hidden agenda Liam and Fionn have, but what's your agenda in all this. you have tried to derail every single CPT thread.

Saying the tour is run the exact same way is a joke, obviously you haven't been to a CPT game lately then. Yes the guarantee is reduced but how in gods name could you expect anyone to guarantee 10K twice a week in the current climate. I'd guess less than half the amount of people playing poker last year are still playing this year.

So rather than scolding Liam and Fionn for reducing the guarantee they should be commended for still offering a guarantee in these harder times. And another thing to be commended is the fact that the guarantee is honoured. I know of several games that have guaranteed a certain amout but when it looked likely that the guarantee would not be made, the games were simply cancelled or the guarantee not paid out. Twice this year, the guarantee was not reached yet Liam and Fionn dipped into their own pockets to pay out the advertised guarantee.

Changes have been made to the tour since Liam and Fionn took over.
- 100% payout
- new poker clock giving players more information throughout the tournament
- Progressive clock with blinds being extended later in the tournament
- extra blind levels added in

Yes this looks the exact same as before :rolleyes::rolleyes:


I work as a dealer with CPT, all of the above are my personal views.

Theacher, I've given you straigfoward answers to the questions you've asked. Could you tell me what your gripe is with CPT??

Nice one Liam. Nearly a clean sweep for the Roscrea pubs,with Terence from Loughnane's, & Caroline and Michelle from The Full House in the top 5. Best of luck with the Templemore game this Sunday night. Hopefully I might make this if I can wriggle out of the bus run.

tommyombomb

great tournament. sorry for the sick bad beat on the river.

cant wait for sunday

Hot-Rod

Well done laim and cpt on a well run tournament. Havent played with cpt in maybe 18 months but will be back. Didnt turn into a crapshoot, replaying levels at the correct times allowed some play.

Nearly took it down, but i will take 2nd place. Well done to Eldon who won, some excellant moves at the final table.

dream.

cheers lads trying to give as much value and play as possible with the one day game

ChaosFromHaden

Congrats Hot-Rod, nice cash out. And I for one am glad to see CPT in Monaghan. It gives gives us a decent weekend tournament to play in that you don't have to travel too. Long may it last!
