benny the cunt, it probably did change because I vaguely remember it being like an SnG too, but this must have been in Season 1. Right now a seat is definitely guaranteed.


fair enough mate, i stand corrected. i wasn't sure about this, because the last few times i had played it, it had reached the guarantee anyway.

sounds great

Coleman 6 Max Special - HA! :D

Excellent structure Garth, I think you've hit a perfect mix for the hardcore and casual poker players. Loving the "final table 3 events for $100" idea.

What effect does everyone think this will have on venue games ?
Most venue games finish around the 10:30 - 11:00 timeframe, then travel time on top of that. Will people give up the 5x venue games to stay at home to grab 10x or 20x games.?

Or are there plans to change the venue point structures also?
Just don't think there will be much incentive for people to get out to their venues anymore.
Stupid game..... Never playing again

if you wanna chase dream team points, you still need to do well in venue

I've not played a lot (on 888) the last 6 months, but I really like the look of this.

Going to hit up a regular venue next season too now I've moved :D

Will be interested to hear how away games multipliers will work. I think people now go to venues regardless of what's on the online schedule. You can play online any night but can't play in venue every night.

If blonde was on TAP at your place I know where you will be regardless of the points..

The TC's averaged what 8-9 in the $20 and 14 in the $10 then you expect an increase of players in the new equivelant tourny's but I doubt you would get any where near the points of the AK or Murrin.... if you got 20 runners in the $20 buy in event then that would be 600pts max??
