Satellites for SPT Dublin will commence on SkyPoker.com TOMORROW. (Wednesday).

Only 100 (ONE HUNDRED) seats will be available visa the Online Lobby, as capacity at the Dublin Venue is limited.
 
Details of the Satellite structure will be available shortly, & are much the same as usual, & they will all be in the Lobby tomorrow.
 
We CANNOT INCREASE capacity at the Venue, so if you wish to attend, please try & qualify as soon as possible.

Dublin........GREAT city to play poker!

    Hi Sigh,

    Tomorrow, it will mainly be in the "Sky Poker Tour" Board of the Community.

    It is NOT 6-Max.

     not currently planned I am afraid

    Qualify early and book early

    flights from the UK to Dublin currently c£70 return and hotel accomodation available to suit all budgets, but Dublin can be expensive especially if booking late.

    why on earth not, the added expenses will inevitably put alot of people off.

    I would very much like a sat option to be offered to include money for accommodation/flights...

    I am not put off by the sat only option, but I am more likely to try to qualify if there was a sat to include extra money for expenses.

    SPTs can stretch the budget of the average recreational punter on here, which i consider myself to be... But they are great fun, so I usually try anyway... :)

    it's a £200 quid comp I assume + vig, and yet outlay on flights/accom will likely eclipse this, instantly pricing many people interested in playing sats out.


    utterly inane.

    yup £220 comp, yet people are expected to qualify for 'cheap', even with satteliting in it's £100 for flights and £200+ for 2 nights in dublin easily. That's without being particularly close to the venue so if you had to sat into a £200 quid comp how can you justify satting in then these extra expenses?

    Really should rethink this, or just think about it.

    Its a community tour, as I know from many years of experience with APAT many players will go for the weekend, with poker as secondary. We've seen comments to that effect on this thread too

    If SP were to put satellites on that gave, say, £250 for expenses you'd be looking at much more expensive satellites, where people would have fewer attempts to qualify. I would wager that the satellites would be very sparssely populated

    beaneh also over-estimates exes, if one is on a budget. Personally, my flight and hotel is booked at well under £200 for two nights

    yeh dublins cheap you're right, everyone on sky flicks in £250 quid comps + £300 expenses daily. why bother even running sats?

    can you whack up some links for the accommodation you've organised to get sky players a good rate at?

    There really is no need to be facetious Andrew. You do it a lot on here, yet I know you are bright enough not to have to, should you take a minute to consider how you come across

    Search Late Rooms etc for Dublin hotels under 75euros a night. Plenty of them, if people look around

    1 in 10 satellites at £50 to win £500 (£220 plus rest in exes) ?

    Hi Rich,

    I would play your suggestion of a £55 sat 1 in 10, but only if there were sub sats into it also.

    However, I think something along the lines of the way the Superoller Sats might work.

    So a package final on a Sunday would cost £110- 1 in 5 win a seat and the rest in expenses, total win £500

    One Semi Final throughout the week each night for £24- 1 in 5 win a seat to the above.

    Quarter finals throughout the day every day for £5.20- 1 in 5 win a seat to the £24 daily semi final.

    Could maybe trial it the first week with 2 packages GTD, that would be a £1000 punt by sky? I would be surprised if it didn't surpass it's guarantee. This could run alongside the existing seat only option.

    Cheers


    Greg
