Hi Trev,
I've just sent this e-Mail to the Office;
"Hi xxxxx,
Below are the Free Entries for the Monthly Orfordable League for May.
Thank you Mr & Mrs SkyPoker....holiday dates booked from work...if I don't qualify for the main event I'll be playing the mini.....
Just have to renew passport so I can travel over in micro expense luxury with Ryanair and the sister-in-law lives in Long Eaton.....just marking off the days on me advent calendar....
My point about the main and the mini was normally when dtd have these festivals the mini has x amount of seats into main just thought it was strange to not do this again does it have anything to do with party poker being heavily involved with dtd now and they want you in and out quickly? And badcawl lowest cash is 1-1 at dtd

Many people objected to having seats into another event as part of the Prize Money in the Mini, so we are not doing that this time. With the Mini taking place DURING the Main, seats as part of the Mini Prize Fund was not really practical or desirable.
And no, it has nothing to do with Party Poker "wanting us in & out in the minimum time". Rob & DTD still have total control over the Live Club, Party Poker had no input to this festival & at present, don't plan to run Online Satellites to it. (This could change, but that's the current plan). We simply wanted a more compact Festival in time terms, the February renewal was way too long. There's no sinister or hidden agenda, we just felt a shorter Festival might be better on this occasion.
As a general rule, the DTD Live Club will be operating much shorter hours during the summer months.
Personally I really like the schedule. I think the overlap and how it has been arranged makes tons of sense and much prefer a condensed week than something too drawn out. I fully intend to be booking a week in Notts to do the proverbials.
A bit of a shame that there's no PLO this time but that's a personal thought bubble saying 'sigh' rather than a knock on the line up. Obviously the real estate and overheads 6-max takes up combined with the lack of popularity in PLO MTTs makes it an obvious one to not be able to fit in.
In Response to Re: Sky Poker UKPC Six Max £250,000 at DTD 20th-23rd August 2015 : The buy in before was £1000 + £100 Reg Fees. Now it's £500 + £50.00 Reg Fees. Posted by POKERTREV
My bad. I satellited in last time so I guess I didnt realise

I think you were correct Luke. The buy in was £1000 and the rake was taken from the prize pool.
Just seen this, barely played any poker recently, but I'll definitely try and get my name down for this.
Dear Mr & Mrs Skypoker I'm confused with the schedule.... mini day 1a and 1b are on the same day? 22.08.2015 #3 6-Max Mini Day 1A £50,000 £150 + £15 15:00 18:50 14 2 30 22.08.2015 #3 6-Max Mini Day 1B £50,000 £150 + £15 19:00 22:50 14 2 30 23.08.2015 #3 6-Max Mini Day 1C (Turbo) £50,000 £150 + £15 11:00 13:00 14 2 15 Posted by badcawl
Correct.
As Mr Stewie noted, an early flight and a later flight on the same day.

I know this has been said before but would it not be better if you got a ticket for the next round in a satellite? I am sure I am not alone in that some days I can make satellites but not the quarter/semi/final etc. and other days it's the other way around. As it is if I cannot make the final this Sunday it is not worth playing any qualifiers etc. As it is I and others have to check before we play in a satellite whether we can make the quarter final, then we have to check which semi this quarter is for to see if we can make that, then be sure we can make the final before entering a satellite. I am sure we would get more entries if people could just relax and enter a satellite when they felt like it instead of worrying that they will lose out if they do.
The Mini doesn't seem to be that mini compared to the main though this time round? I played at the full ring event in Feb and Mini buyin was £110 compared to £1000 for the main (~10%), but this time round it's £165 for the mini vs £550 for the main (~30%). I didn't see what it was like last time you did the 6 max though so maybe it's par for the course, but personally I'd have preferred the mini to have a bit of a lower buy in, I won't be paying out £165 for an entry and looks like there's no qualifiers running for it this time round. Suppose I'll have to just bink a main event sat seat I guess.
Sounds pretty good. Just a general comment... The Mini doesn't seem to be that mini compared to the main though this time round?

Its always a hard balancing act. I think if you made the mini lower it would struggle to get numbers as it wouldn't be worth a lot of players time so numbers would be down. Although I do understand it will be too much for some others.
well I have to agree with both of you it is a balancing act, reduce the buy in and you gain some players and lose others. the buy in for the mini does seem a bit close to the buy in for the main though, £110 + £10 seems nearer, but it's only a guess. perhaps some satallites for the mini might be a good idea.
Hi, Does anyone know what the £250k prize breakdown is? Many thanks Posted by debscom18
The short answer is no as they don't know how many entries there will be yet.
If we assume about 500 entries/re-entries then the approx payout will be at least about £50,000 to the winner and somewhere between 50-60 being paid with the lowest probably £1,000. This assumes they use a normal payout structure and the amount of entries is close to what I said. That's a lot of assumptions so don't hold me to it :-)

Overall, I think good job done by all involved.
