sound Mike didnt mean to take from what your trying to achieve here in any way and you know ill be there for sure. Just thinking of the way the wpt 50k starting stack ends ( huge amount of play early none late ).

Nicky, the WPT events would have a great late structure if they didn't remove levels left right and centre while making the clock 30mins at the FT. All for TV. Players always agree that the structure up to the final 6 is peerless.

Mike,this looks fantastic,and clearly a lot of thought and effort have gone into it.I sincerely hope this is a huge success,and i'm sure this will be a big hit with players right across europe.This will put GJP firmly on the international map(if not already),and the very best of luck with it.I will certainly be there with bells on:)

I have not got round to reading all of his well unfortunately, otherwise I would have asked him to edit that out. This is aimed at the whole of Europe and not just Ireland. We need to have the buy in a bit bigger to generate the right amount of interest.

The Clamper

i have a list of dealers that will deffo show up if you need any, dealers that are reliable and asked for more work if there is any

also, please put me down for the 1st saturday game 500 nl game and confirm my entry
if you need me to pre register with payment, pm me

also, is it possible that you could email / phone me (or players that have registered) 1 week i advance of the event, as a reminder ?

i wish you the best with this event, it looks great i hope it fills, i could do with the money, please post prize structure or at least just what does 1st place pay, its the only place i'm really interested in

will there be sats for the 1400 event ? and where will they be

In firness to dev he mentioned the "GJP event" which would kinda have meant the current one rather than this new festival from my reading...

is it not getting a bit ridiculous with these huge starting stacks? I'm all for great playable structures etc but over the past year or so they have gone from 3k to 5k to 7.5k to 10k to 15k to 20k. Now its 50k. Is there really a need to give people 50k chips? Would 20k and a 60 or 90 minute clock not acheive the same?

its a bit like having the Amp that goes to 11 imo.

Anyone agree?

BUT IT GOES TO 11!!!

Hi Mike / GJP

Congrats the events look really great. Can you tell me how to go about pre registering and when that option will be available. I will be playing the Short Handed Holdem and the Omaha events. They look like great events and im sure they will sell out quite quickly which is why i ask.

Thanks,
Tom

So, eh - play both??

I hope to play it, but i'm not really sure about it enough to book a place atm.

cardshark202

50k seems a bit much. Also in the structure you posted up, i think the antes a a bit too big. They should be about 10% of the sb imo, not the bb. EDIT: Otherwise it looks fantastic

Just luckbox your way in through a satelite like you always do, sorted.

Scummyscousers

I'd imgine the ME will attract a lot of journeymen pros from Europe/Britain The buyin is spot on for these lads....So the ME might fill pretty qickly
Also the 50K and clock will unearth nits from every corner of middle nitdom.

few Qs
Any offline Sats for this planned in conjunction with SE, Jackpot? CHLs.
Will you reserve tickets for the ME for these Sats? ie how many?
Any TV interest?
Will this be online reg only?:)



On a side note : your monthly 300 game should be reduced to a 200 game.
This may boost the figures back up. IMO.

EG Some may travel up to play a 200 rather play a 300 in Dub.

Really in two minds on this i dont know if players betting will be out of proportion early on as u can afford alot of hit and i mean a good few with 1000 big blinds .In fairness to Gjp they Have good ideas I would not do this one but if anyone can pull it off Mike and Brian are prob the only two

Best of Luck with it Wont make it Due to the Coursing event ! This event might affect or help u a little down this way as its pay day for most as the Cash action is the Biggest in the Country for 3 days and players either get broke or get rich ... South East players Save for this and alot tarvel but i dont think it will affect

I really think the idea behind this is great Mike, ie try something new and offer some serious value.....I'm just trying to get my head around the stack sizes but hope to play in it.

Hi Mike,
Still undecided about the necessity of such a large starting stack and how players will adjust to it but I feel it's an event not to be missed. Please pencil me in.
Good luck with it,

Mike,

Can you book me a spot in the S/H and main event please. Would like Day 1 to be the Thursday if possible otherwise work will become a problem.

Excellant structure as always by GJP, I do feel 50k is far to much, would rather less chips and longer clock to be honest. But fair play to GJP.

So which event will be the 1st to offer 100k starting stack...lol

Why did we decide on 50,000 chips and a 1 hour clock as opposed to 20k and 90mins?

The clue is in the title of the festival, it is the European DEEPSTACK Championship.

10-20k is the norm nowadays. I don't see anybody going beyond 50k without starting at much higher blind levels.

When have we ever followed the pack?
