I know its a while away but its my first one and I've been pondering over a few things.

I guess the main reason I started this thread was to see where people are planning on staying?  Im assuming id need to travel up Friday night as the tournament will start relatively early on Saturday.  Do people stay Sunday night as well (to have a few drinks etc)?

Also a quick question about the format.

The lobby says its 15 minute blinds with a 2000 starting stack.  With it capped at 150 players I'm not quite sure how this will last two days...  Is this right or am I just being a total live poker novice?

Thanks.

EDIT - just noticed that is says 2pm starting time so I guess that explains my last question.  But I guess my first question is still relevant!

Ignore the structure in the lobby. Last year it was 30k stack & 45 minute levels and I expect it's the same this year. Also I think the total field will be well north of 200, the 150 cap is for online qualifiers only afaik.

Last time we went to the same event we stayed at a premier inn in the town centre, about £8 in a cab if I remember correctly but there is one closer, not sure how much is going on around that one though.

Event starts at 2.00 pn the Saturday normally, if it is a deep stack you normally get 30,000 chips, small blinds and 40 minute levels so great format.

There will be quite a few there on the Friday night as there will no doubt be side events running as I am sure there will be on the Saturday night, don't suppose there will be too many there on the Sunday, I didn't make day 2 last time so can't really comment.

 Have fun and hope to see you there!!!!
