S4 WCOAP - Stud Event

[Bainn]

Changing of goalposts here entirely down to issues with dtd resources on friday. Will all be resolved before this event, if necessary by speaking to them on thurs

Yeah...I get that...but would the goalposts have moved if the Stud had sold out the full 80 seats?

Interesting point.

[Chipaccrual]

Can I suggest that we just hang on until we get confirmation of the exact structure.  It will be the one that DTD used in the Norwegian Championships, and it was very succesful.

Relax, let me do the stressing lol

OK....I"m trying hard not to criticise and just comment (see "hypocrisy comment" earlier)....but sometimes!

[Bainn]

Guessing 1st level -

Ante - 25 Small - 50 Big - 100 ?

[Paulie_D]

Guessing 1st level -

Ante - 25 Small - 50 Big - 100 ?

I"d hope it would be 5 - 10 to start.

Don"t think DTD have 5 or 10 point chips ?

You are starting to see the issues, hence worth just hanging on until Tighty gets it confirmed.  Didn"t want this to delay making announcements of info for members.

Okay I am going to do my best not to fan the flames on this thread and will also do the darnedest to avoid negativity.

Firstly I ended up cashing out of the stud when I bought online as I was sure there would be plenty of seats to buy in on the day, if the field has been cut due to lack of dealers then I am sure that if needed be the original number could be re-instated by offering some self-deal tables (Of course the dealer should be given gratis drinks for service)

Secondly, I have come to know that APAT Games have a great blind structure, ensuring and encouraging good play, I am not trying to jump the gun on this, I love playing stud and consider it to be a game of skill where players should not be forced to widen their range of starting hands or increase their aggressiveness to compete with blinds and antes in a turbo style game.

Thirdly, The stud tournament is on the same day of my daughters first birthday and I have accumulated many brownie points as to miss it to play the stud event, so I have to last at least 2 hours or I will doing the housework for the next six months No relevance to the game but thought I would mention it lol

I hope that everything is in place before the event to ensure that the stud event delivers the same standard of excellence associated with APAT tournaments

Valid points and really hope the tournament lasts more than 2hrs for your sake my friend.

Just to pick up a few points.


As far as I am aware, DTD do not allow self dealt tables in their tournaments.

To the best of my knowledge, there are currently still 10 seats available for the Stud event from the cashdesk at DTD.

We will ensure a structure that offers great value for everyone playing.


As Tighty posted elsewhere, "let him stress over making sure that happens".

Seems a rash statement when the structure isn"t known yet

Yes I understand, but I am not a member of DTD til I get there on the day which at setting off at 9am will be about 11.30-12ish So I maybe lucky to get a seat if they haven"t been snapped up, but there is no point trying to control the uncontrollable, I will see what happens, I am sure there maybe one or two cash games going on

I am so glad that Tighty is the man with the plan, I am sure he will come through, ... or die trying

I don"t do rash statements Jon, I base my comments on the APAT events we have run in the past.

Tighty and DTD will get the structure as good as they possibly can for the players.

If after the event, any players have comments to make (other than bad beat stories), as always, we are there to listen and take note.
