Wheres the best Tournements..?
 

here's one for instance ladcrokes irish winter festival in kilkenny there package is for 1 person where as on the rivercard their package is for 2 people and the buy in are almost idetical

Lee...you fancy making a play for the Irish festival mate? A serious one? I think im gonna go for it large.

got a few others in mind at the moment mate but will give it some thought
1st priorty is getting into the main event at the broadway casino in brum on the 26th july which is £1000 buy in but on the friday they are having a £50 rebuy super sat minimal 10 players to qualify for the main event next day
think the main event will attract alot of the big names over here and can see the feild being well over a 100 runners so will be a big prize pool
Lee

ooh...28th July is my birthday....i wonder.....£50 rebuy though will be a bloodbath for the first few hours....

yes it probably will be mate for the 90 mins anyway i'll prob take 3-4 buy ins see if i can maybe double or treble thru early on then sit back and wait for the proper tournament to begin

Just what we need here !!
 

Well done Tonyo:D (saved me a job) This is what we need to look at and help each other to find the value tournaments online. Where the value satellite's are to get to the bigger tournaments. The point is (for me) I spend so much time looking at various sites for value and miss many opportunity's...:h?:

I have noticed
 

VC are running satellite's to the live 'Grosvenor Festival" GUKF..winning a 1000pound entry's ...check for venue + big final in London.. Also 'bet365' are running some satellite's for the $2,500,000 this summer + other big online events :cool:

cheers benny i'll look into them really want a shot at gukpt this year (well at least 1 event anyway lol)8-P

hi guys first post,got an email from laddies other day saying they are making the package for two ~(originaly advertised as one)

bet365
 

have a very good 2.5 million guarenteed tourney coming up in sept, 5000 starting chips and 30 mins blinds ($1500 buyin)

plenty of sats from now till then ranging from $3 to $100

there is a sat on tuesday that is $160 to enter and there 8 seats guarenteed!!

they also have a very good heads up way of qualifying for this tourney

u start at level 1 for $4.75 and if you win you move up to level 2 and so on and so on, up to level 9 where the winner gets his seat in the 2.5 mill tourney, so if you win 9 heads up matches in a row you can get in for $4.75

also when this tourney starts any credits you have from these heads up sats will paid out in cash to ur account!!!

IMHO bet365 have by far the best poker tournies online, p/stars have biggest prizepools but by far too many entrants,

between 9.00am and 12.00 in the afternoon today they already have ...........

10k guarenteed $25 rebuy
5k guarenteed $7 rebuy
2k guarenteed $10 freezeout
2k guarenteed $2 speed rebuy
5k guarenteed $10 rebuy
3.5k guarenteed $10 freezeout
5k guarenteed $3 speed rebuy
$1250 guarenteed $5 freezeout

over 30k in guarentees and that is only 9.00am to 12 lunchtime


one of my fav tournies i do pretty well in is the 5k guareteed $20 freeze @ 17.45

the 10k guarenteed $5 speed rebuy is always good for some crazy poker

and the 10k guarenteed $10 rebuy @ 18.30 is good if you can build up a stack early

they also have a weekly 1/4 mill guarenteed tourny with buyin of $200, but plenty of sats available

tonight i will be in there 20k guarenteed $30 rebuy


BET365 IS SO FAR AHEAD OF LADDIES WHEN IT COMES TO TOURNIES IT IS LAUGHABLE

there is a nice tourney on pokerstars at 10 am(a bit early for some)10k gtd freez $30 3k chips 15 min blinds usually about 15k + prize pool

nice one madge !
 

Is that 10 00 Sunday morning ?????...hehee i'll be missing that then..
big zzzzzzzzz's at that time for me:'D
But sounds good i might come and see ya around 12 00o:D

From the 7th -13th July
 

On Ladbrokes :'D .....Now i know with the new software an all, it's not the favourite site at the moment but i'm asking, is this value..
Their $10 (wsop) deep stack freezeout...(7th -13th) with added prize and a possible seat to the Irish festival...Check out 'promotions' on the main site...

Oh and i'm warming to the software, so far no disconnects and i actually feel comfortable with it :eek!:

2k gtd omaha hi/lo Laddies $25
 

Ladbrokes are on the UP !!
 

After making the move back to LADBROKES from SkyPoker over a week ago, with some small success, (2nd and 5th in two MTT's)
I've been looking around the site this last couple of days and you have to say LADBROKES have come a long way UP since their new software upgrade .....

What is most impressive is their Tournament schedule and the variety of different tournaments with satellites for two up and coming Irish live events .

Also there is the opportunity to play for a seat on their next CRUISE 1V in early 2011 and I'm also informed to "watch this space" for further events o:D

Why the move away from SkyPoker ? Well , why not ?
Numbers are down, and they have been promising a 'down-loadable' site for nearly a year now but still no sign , so,
to play there off your server makes the site slow with many disconnections ..

Also many players have been building 'player points ' over the years but cant cash them in, the points can only be used to play in small #50' free-rolls, and that is where LADBROKES can be congratulated not only can their points be cashed in, but also can be used as entry to cash tournaments ...
Then there is the 'bronze' 'silver' 'gold' 'VIP' free-rolls once a month for player points amassed ..

So, 'all in all' there's no comparison .... If I'm going to ride down the M1, do I want ride in an "De Lorean" or peddle like f#ck on a 'bicycle with a puncture' ????

Hello Ladbrokes:loveme:

Sorry SkyPoker but you need to look at your expenditure and whats more important your customers who are leaving faster than passengers trying to get off the 'Titanic' before it sinks, or your TV Analyst's getting free-bee- trips to the WSOP in the summer 3:-)

It's sad because there were some really nice people playing there, I hope some turn up here at talksportforums.com or maybe Ladbrokes Poker !!

Benny:flowers:

I think benny had too much whiskey last night o:D o:D
All they need now is a horse :-O

Ha ha ha ...
 

No seriously Ive been looking in a bit of detail and to be fair, someone or maybe new poker management is in there now , but it all looks good to me.. :brains:

However as you say, lets hope they don't get involved with another horse ... And to Tony , yes I saw that about the 25 quid phone in bets ... I think whats happening is they have just started a new site and lobby with soooooooooo many people phoning in to say they have problems placing a bet :'D
They obviously thought, "Right well stop all these phone calls, put the price up to 25quid, that'll stop em ...:gh:

Also on the poker site don't even try to call customer service it's a shambles, ' the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing"

PLUS, don't get me started on this subject but the site (SkyPoker) has loads of 'teams' and 'cliques' .... (nudge nudge know what I mean John) ??
Almost like John Cherry and his mates getting together for some 'ring a ring a roses' ...:eek!:
Oh he's been dropped as England Captain now ,o:D
Maybe SkyPoker should take notice, have a word with Fabio ? :eek!:


byeeee;)

hehe o:D Im glad you've found a comfy seat somewhere. I've looked on Laddies a few times but theres nothing for us high rollers :'D to play at the times I want to play. Sky kept crashing all the time I couldn't play at all. If I fancy a game now I usually end up on Ijoker, usually Betfred, lots of stuff to play for me and big fields to muff my way through, and lots of freerolls to help build a roll (: Good luck

Glk Pkrplaya There
 

Well you say about the stakes but I've just played a #15 satelitte for the Irish Open ...(sigh) no good but now in a 2.50 freezeout, over 600 runners mind :scribe: but this will do me fine for tonight.........well :'D maybe ...

glk laters, I might keep you informed as to how we get on ..
