SPT Mini.....tourny idea

edited July 2011 in Poker Chat
The basic idea is as follows.......
as not everyone has been able to qualify for the live event or has not been able to commit to a full day away

A mini SPT event online to run alongside the main event in Cardiff, as the live feed is now up and running on Sky Poker and the community online is buzzing for these events, why not run a comp to go with it?

I was thinking something along the lines of..............
£22 entry ....... with sats into it for lower bankroll players.
4k starting stack
12 min blind levels
7.30pm start

obviously this is just an idea in its infancy at the moment but i have a feeling that Sky Poker will look seriously into this if the feedback is positive.

your thoughts are welcome

    Good idea Chris but two points....

    1) Should this not be in the Tournament section?
    2) Can we just have it for all the Team members?

    it should be here as it is not yet a tournament but a general chat about a new format!!!! it wont be just for team members as it will coincide with the SPT  and surely every single team member will be at cardiff though wont they,even the ones who were not good enough players to qualify will surely be there to rail all their best friends???

    Im always interested in new ideas , i think this could work , i had also been thinking recently it would maybe be good for sky to have a decent guarantee tourney ( like the open etc ) during the day on sat and sun , starting somewhere between 12 and 2 ?

    Maxally - how do you go about joining a team? Do you need to be invited into 1 or can you apply , or even set up your own ?

    Hi Acerag, If you go to any of the Team threads (currently in general poker chat) and enquire there. Teams that are currently on the look out for new members are...

    Team Ninja Plonkers   /   Team Poker Trev  / Team Hit Squad

    One of these will gladly take you on board so welcome to the fun side of Team banter on the forum. Good Luck.

    I dont understand what the difference is between this and the current sky 8pm feature game.
    Except your game starts half hour eairler. Whats the purpose of that?

    Maybe tho, what about an online game that starts the same time as SPT, same blinds as SPT, but half the cost?

    This

    good concept though maybe if it starts at 2pm like SPT with similar blinds and clock set at online version eg. 5 mins is 20 minutes live roughly

    go go go good idea mate

    i think £11 buy in with £1k guranteed would be good, also sats into it for those of a lesser role obv ;)

    I like this idea YG. You could actually run 2 during the day. One starting at 2pm, like you suggested, and one at say 10pm.

    I actually like the idea of a spin-off mini live event too, but realise it would be hell to organise.

    It would be good if some of the prizepool could go to a future seat for a forthcoming SPT as its aimed at ppl who haven,t made it

    JD...You've proper cheered me up today dear!!! Excellent levelling!!!!

    However, as it happens we only have 11 TKPers going to Cardiff as the rest are allergic to the Welshies ;o)))

    We anticipate double that for the SPT Final @ DTD though..it is our one year anniversary after all!!!

    Will you be around to break cake and share a celebratory pint with us at DTD? We're happy for you to bring your own railing crew if you want, worry not, TKP will look after them while you donk off in the ME ;o))

    P.s. We've been missing your oh-so-accurate Gidzo gossip of late...any juicy snippits you care to share with us while you're posting happy?

    Posted by scouse_red
    I like the idea of a tourney starting at the same time as the SPT but 4k stack is nowhere near enough...make it 10k stack, 30 min blinds and let it run along side the SPT for the live feed viewers and non attendees!!!

    By starting at 2pm it should not overly interfere with the 8pm main...

    Overall a yes from me but needs tweaking
