Hi All,

Ok, its June so I have to spend the next month or two annoying/ persuading everyone enough to get themselves registered as early as possible for the IPO.

We already have about 120 seats paid in full and we are expecting to sell out at least one month in advance (as has been more or less the case for the past two years).

Let me know if you have any problems getting registered and please do log on today to register yourself as it will be a case of blink and we will be sold out

Cheers,
Stephen.

carfax

Keep the registrations going players. I know there are a lot of tournaments on, even during the summer but would really appreciate it if everyone registers as early as possible.

We are sending out a lot of the physical promotional material this week. If you are a card club manager and you would like some flyer/ posters please do let me know.

Cheers,
Stephen.

carfax

What's up everyone.

Just want to post another quick reminder to anyone that is planning to play the IPO.....Please register early.

We have just under 200 players fully paid up right now and are expecting a full house again (will be very close to 1,500 players)....I have a substantial bet with CC that we will have 700+ players registered on or before 6am on the 1st September.

That's relying on a lot of players booking their seats very early for the tournament but please do register as soon as you have a chance (www.boylepoker.com).

Cheers,
Stephen.

carfax

Keep the registrations going players....We are up over the 250 player mark now (fully paid and registered)....

We are expecting a lot of players to book their seats this week or next (don't forget last year Day 1B sold out before the end of August). Day 1B this year is Saturday 16th Oct.

Don't delay, book your seat today

Cheers,
Stephen.

Hi All,

Just want to make sure everyone knows about the Last Men Standing Promotion on Boyles. Ten free IPO tickets up for grabs.

Also; The Macau are holding a free entry tournament on Thursday 3rd September with ten IPO tickets guaranteed. Re-buys cost €10 and there is a €20 triple top-up allowed. I will get an email out to our database with full details of the tournament.

Keep the registrations going. We are getting a big gang travelling from Fitzpatricks in Limerick too. Off to Bangor tonight so hopefully drum up even more early registrations

Cheers,
Stephen.

carfax

Keep the registrations going players... If you plan to play Day 1A or more especially Day 1B please register today.

Cheers,
Stephen.

Yes, its the only way to play the IPO. There are a number of reasons for this;

1. Having all the prize-pool online has a lot of advantages from a security point of view

2. We normally sell out well in advance so its important that players get registered early (its first come, first served).

3. Having everyone registered and paid in full online means we are able to concentrate on keeping everything running very smoothly throughout the weekend, which is no easy task when you consider we are aiming for 1,500 players.

Keep the registrations going players.

Cheers,
Stephen.

Just want to make sure everyone knows about the early registration offer. Please get yourself registered today and help us make the IPO 2010 the best yet.

The value for this just gets better and better every post

how do they do it

its a bit like how do they get them figs into the fig rolls, it happens but we wonder how

Then they add value by having the likes of Parky in the event and add more dead money on top of dead money
last year I saw Scott Grey & Rory Liffey over there and if I am not mistaken, Andy Black too, very soft money for sure

gonna definitely sign up for this, bets value event this year and every year

any advance on the estimated 500 French coming this year?
Bon Chance (just getting some practice in)

That's it alright. Reg closes on Thursday 14th Oct, you need to be ready to play some poker before 12pm on Friday 15th October in the Regency.

Cheers,

We are up over 435 fully paid up IPO players, with a lot more overseas players registering very shortly.

I am going to stick my neck out to say that I think Day 1B (Saturday 16th Oct) will be sold out within the next two weeks (before the end of the early registration offer available on Boyles).

From there the only seats available will be for Day 1A (Friday 16th Oct).

Please register as early as possible.

Cheers,
Stephen.

I registered for this last year & earned my extra bonus chips but unfortunately due to a family illness I was unable to play.

If I register for this can I get the benefit of the previous bonus chips that I earned last year.

I would opt to play on the Friday.

DAMO72

On my exit hand last year i went all in out of position with 72 . I wasn't thinking straight due to the heat in the room . Can i get those chips back ??

Maddogg

well i got 249 points in august and september last year but failed to gain any chips.......... can add them to this years points to extra chips for this year? :eek:

Hi Tom, about 200 left at this stage. We're expecting to be sold out before 20th September (deadline for early reg offer on Boylepoker) so best to book today if possible.

Cheers,
Stephen.

carfax

563 seats fully paid for right now in the IPO 2010 with many many more going to be booked in the next couple of day (20th Sept is the deadline for the early reg offer and we have more and more emails from overseas players starting to come in)

Once we have no more seats we have no more seats .

Stephen.

carfax

We've had about 40 players register today alone so the free-roll (early reg offer) must have caught some players attention.

614 showing in the lobby right now, keep them rolling players...If you know of anyone that might be interested in a very big payday for a very small buy-in with an excellent structured tournament then please spread the word.

Cheers,
Stephen.

We are still flying it guys & girls. Please be sure to book early as there are dozens of emails coming in (over the weekend) with players now making travel arrangements etc.
