I understand the issues and concerns of the existing set up, therefore, it would have made more sense to scrap the existing tour and start this new venture afresh. You could have changed the buy in and structures for all London events and It may be worth considering having online day 1. I'm amazed at the failure to simplefy and revamp live events offerings online.

Spooooky...

15th in the main and the mini. @mastah4 how did you get on in the cash games.

Last night i luckboxed my way to day 2 of IPO Dublin. It was close to midnight and its my little girls birthday the next day. At midnight i give her a hug and tell her the good news. Her smile turns to concern as she tells me its Diwali on sunday, moms gonna kill you. Now i have to tell mom she has to get up at an ungodly hour on Diwali to drop me at the airport for an over priced flight. Also turns out the hotels are either booked or crazy prices. Im looking forward to booking a park bench. For those old enough im in need a hamlet cigar.

Most people wont bother to qualify for an event with zero expenses attached. Unibet have an opportunity to be creative ,revamp and rebrand qualifying to live events that would entice existing players and bring much needed new custom. Start with a blank paper and a new fresh approach. Think outside the box. People are bound by the fear of diminishing markets. Now is the time to think new and find a creative pathway.

@Leo-Unibet I wish i was that good.lol. I would love to try for Dublin but im reticent to commit to these sats and others similar on the schedule. Overall poker market is suffering. Im aware Unibet had a very difficult year and accountants views make life very difficult. At the moment the fear of cost overtakes the rationale to invest. The demise of others means now is the time to argue for radical changes, to revamp and invest. Sometimes i start writing and become too lazy to stop so before it turns into a 10k word thesis ill stop. Hopefully, health permitting, ill see you in Manchester.

@Leo-Unibet @Patric-Unibet First, IPO with online day 1 is a great move forward. It allows players with a limited budget for expenses to mitigate costs and working players to mitigate available time. I hope it will be incorporated in other live event offerings. You may wish to promote these in manner to encourage online qualification as tool for brand awareness and growth. As to R/A, I understand your desire to increase the guarantees and an even bigger desire to limit costs. Using R/A tournaments to short ratiio satellites has the undesired effects of running with small player pools and crucially, disuading new entrants from joining and/or retention.

Is it possible to have an IPO tree withour R/A.

@Stubbe-Unibet Respectfully disgree sir. The person writing the contract cannot injudicially interprete for his or her (or they in the case of sam smith) benefit. I woke up late cos i had a good night at poker....why you do this to me.

@Stubbe-Unibet Its a difficult one for sure, hate it when it happens. People join supernova and run clock down from the start. But, what can you do if they are not breaking rules. Lets put it another way. The guy speeds his play after warning and loses 500. He makes a complaint you interfered with his decision making and its cost him money, please give me a refund. Easier with a tech solution. HU games with a 5 sec timer, maybe. Its a more profitable solution.

@FeelsBadMan is playing way too many tables and winning way too much. Can someone send him a warning to STOP it. Unibet reserves the right to ban anyone without giving notice , but if you ban someone for following t&cs you might get into a serious pickle.

I'll be there. Will be great to see some old friends and make some new ones.

@Stubbe-Unibet I presume this refers to myself as i cannot see tournys in lobby. What am i missing.

Access please

@MetalWolf Dont forget my 20%. Ill take it in guiness cans.
