Re: Virgin Poker Festival

GaF I agree it doesn't matter either way but consistency would be nice and 10% the field is standard :ok
Well there is consistency from the perspective that you know on the Thursday night game the carry over all goes to one person, and on the Sunday night game it gets split around more players - main reason for the difference is I think that the Sunday night game is automatic, whilst the Thursday night game is manually done (to accomodate the guaranteed seat). I think 10% of the field is standard for cash MTT's (though there are frequently others too!!) but not necessarily for sat's? There is the 1 in 10 option (10%) on a Sunday and a 1 in 21 option (just under 5%) on a Thursday - this doesn't strike me at all as strange or bizarre :unsure It's just Virgin trying to accomodate a range of buy ins for different players, but isn't uncommon across all Poker rooms is it?

Re: Virgin Poker Festival I bought into the weekly final tonight. Went out to Adetrick. :lol I noticed the prize structure was not what you would find for a satellite. :( 1st to 5th was 150 euros and 6th was 4.50. Correct me if I'm wrong but surely it's normally just seats, 5 this week as there were 51 entires, then the prize goes to the bubble and beyond. :unsure
