How many runners do you normally get in this? I live in "The Brack" and could walk to it.

Also, how many is the max?

bottom feeder · 13-03-2007 7:39pm

just wondering why the reg fee is so expensive, 10euro seems a bit much for a 50euro tournie.....?

cause its pokerevents

bottom feeder · 13-03-2007 7:50pm

not replying to give pokerevents stick - just asking....! in SE - Fitz you get great service great dealers and for a cheaper reg fee....

RasTa · 13-03-2007 7:54pm

You can't compare the fitz to a pub tourney.

bottom feeder · 13-03-2007 8:01pm

so why the 20% reg fee???

RasTa · 13-03-2007 8:04pm

Because they have to pay the dealers etc from it. Can't rely on blackjack tables etc.

bottom feeder · 13-03-2007 8:20pm

ok, i understand that but 10e on a 50e tournie is a bit sh@t and might not attract many customers.... thats all im sayin..

DITTag · 13-03-2007 8:32pm

To be honest I dont think its half bad... If he gets 30 runners thats €300 to pay, say 4 dealers, food, whoever is running it and for equipment.. etc...
€10 reg seems more than fair to me.

cooker3 · 13-03-2007 9:39pm

In fairness it is dealer dealt and casinos are always going to be cheaper as they own the premises so no rental fees are required. So I don't think it is too bad.

MickL · 13-03-2007 9:53pm

as far as im aware most pubs dont charge any rental for the premisis to the company as there gettin 30 - 40 drinkers extra in there bar on a slow tuesday and wednesday night!!!!!!!

It may not compare favourably to a casino tournament but it's clear and up to each punter to decide if they want to play or not.

myflipflops · 13-03-2007 10:29pm

considering the chip stack is 5500 and there's dealers this is relatively good value. Change the title of the post to "Dublins Best Value PUB Game" and its probably true.

Goodluck2me · 14-03-2007 1:56am

im pretty sure most casino tournaments run at a loss, and they use the cash games and house games to make up for it.

Ok I should have added the PUB Tournament, As I do not consider it to be the best value tournament as poker organisers cannot compete with the likes of any Card Room as we do not have the other games which make the profit.

A 10 euro reg is the norm around town for a 50 Freezeout for a self dealt tournament until the final table. You are getting more value as the hand rate is more then doubled, plus the added confort of not having to deal or worse putting up with those who just can't deal.

As for MickL comments:
'Originally Posted by bottom feeder

PokerEvents are offering great value to poker players in Dublin, Limerick, Athlone and Galway. All our self deal tournaments to the Final Table have a reg fee of 5euro per head. Nothing is skimmed from the pots. Each player is fully aware of this.

Where else and Who else is going to provide the service for so cheap? There may be a couple out there which I'm not aware of but I haven't come accross them yet.

Thanks steven for the reply, listen i know you have overheads to pay and i suppose i was looking at it from a cardroom perspective and not taking into account that its pub tournies you are offering, anyhow thanks for clearing it up man.....
Again not slating as i usually play your big events citywest etc..

PokerEventsSeán · 14-03-2007 1:01pm

I very rarely post on this forum, but i take umbridge to MickLs comments

- Mick, you look around and see if you can find a better value pub event in dublin you are more than welcome, you are obviously a slater of PokerEvents from your first comment on this page. It is painfully clear (now i dont know you or have read any of your posts) from the first couple of words that you typed that if PokerEvents started up a €10,000 freeroll deep stack tournie with 1hr blinds, a 5 course meal and a suite in the Shelbourne for you and everyone that you knew you would STILL bitch and moan about PokerEvents. Sometimes there is just no pleasing people!

Regarding the €10 reg we have to pay dealers, the tournament director, admin, petrol etc

Hi Wes,

I can see that you may not frequent the pub seen, which is fair enough. I believe that your comments were made looking for an explanation which is a perfectly good reason for them.

We are outside of the Card Rooms and do not have the other profit making extras, so the reg has to be a little higher.

As far as PUB tournaments go PokerEvents are leading the way, Cheapest and Best Value for money.

Wes I'll see you at the next big one! If you do decide to venture into the pub scene I'm sure you'll hed for one of our dealer dealt games

No I'm pretty sure he'd play the freeroll, eat the meal, use the suite in the Shelbourne and THEN bitch and moan about Pokerevents.

I'm beginning to dislike PokerEvents just from these ridiculous posts saying "X is always slating PE blah blah fcuking blah".

BTW: Is this freeroll really happening?

Good luck to you

ocallagh · 14-03-2007 4:28pm

The "wow" tone associated with all these tournament posts is very annoying and invites criticism... and not just talking about PE ones. Fair enough you want to make your post stand out, but offer something new instead of 20%reg fees. If you offered the best drumsticks in Dublin you may even have Flipper on your doorstep!!:)

bohsman · 14-03-2007 4:28pm

Can we get 90minute blinds?

as far as 20% reg goes, I said as much to carfax about the international thing, a 20% reg is unbeatable, if you're playing poker to win money theres no value, if you want a good night out with drink pay the 20%

FFS,

MickL will you ever cop on. PM me who you are, when you worked for PE events and how PE ripped you off. I'll look into it for you and if there is merit in it I'll sort it.

And in the mean time just recognise the value being offer to New Poker Players, the introduction of poker to new players, etc etc which PokerEvents and the likes add to Poker in Ireland. And by the way these are the companies which bring clients into your establishment. And keep you in a job!

These Pub tournaments are not aimed at people meking a living off poker they are aimed at recreational players who enjoy the game!
We offer the Professional players very beatable tournaments at higher stakes. The IPC only had a reg fee of 9%.

Critcising a 20% reg fee on pub tournaments is silly imo.

Yes the reg is high but generally these tournaments are gateways to casino/poker room tournaments. Casinos etc can be very intimidating for newbies and they generally wont go, most newbies in casinos graduate from pub games where they were one of the better players in the pub and get the confidence to make the trip to the fitz etc.

The pub games are meant to be entertainment like a race night more so than an opportunity to make money obviously they represent little value to remotely serious players however they still have their place.

Also I cant for the life of me imagine how it could be any lower reg than this.

If you get 50 runners (unlikely) you get €500
5 x dealers = say 15 man hours @ €10 p/hr = €150
Advertising say €50
Food say €100

Leaves €200 quid to give up your night and organise the whole thing arranging the logistics etc, personally I wouldnt be arsed working for that would you?

bohsman · 14-03-2007 7:23pm

Eoin its not the 20% reg its the claim that its THE best value game in Dublin.

BEST VALUE PUB TOURNAMENTS as i retracted at the beginning of the thread

I cannot see anyone outside of the card rooms being able to compete with them. But we are providing Dealers at our events and the Reg remains the standard in Dublin.....

IT IS THE BEST VALUE TOURNAMENT OUTSIDE THE CARD ROOMS

i actually think a dealer dealt pub game 50+10 is very good value... pub games are immeasurably easier to beat that any game in the fitz/jackpot/emp. if i lived nearer shankill i'd probably be play the 50+10 game a few times. And to say these are "gateway" games are spot on. I went from home game player --> vegas nights pub game player --> casino player --> degenerate unemployed student.

You've come full circle

BIG-SLICK-POKER · 15-03-2007 5:37am

Im Backing Poker Events on this for **** sake , It really pisses me off these days how people can question reg fees .. I Still think poker events run excellent events .. And this is superb value €10 for a fully dealt event in a pub ..As an owner of 2 card clubs we charge 50 + 5 for the game in the club but we have Csh tables after and Black jack to make money .. This is it for them maybe a few quid of side games which they are fully entitled to..

I Think the Civil ****in service oir the army will have to step in soon to run events ... Poker events has introduced a vast amount of players to the game and i still say there standards are better than ours as we have valued learning from them and have really come on in the past year as organisers ...

To all Poker event players get out and support the lads where u have played the past years .. Atmosphere and craic has always been there as we have travelled from Waterford for the games in dublin and Galway a good few times just for a good game .....

Dublins Best Value Game
