Re: Adelaide Poker Champs - Sky City
dan booth was on today tonight though. there was a decent amount of coverage on TV and in the papers
i wonder how much that actually translated into players, probably not that much as garth has alluded to.
last time though, FHG put up the buyins themselves and ran it as a promotion. but instead of that, having a 50 buyin game or $25 rebuy satellite at the grand final might be a good way to go.
then 888pl doesn't' have to pony up anything except the organisation of the game
yeah david boon was the poker player, and dan booth was the guy that drank 52 beers on a flight to london once.

There is already an AM satellite at the GF. And the GF is more Australia wide whereas possibly this game would more be for the SA players. So yeah, no time to organise for SA Semi's but would probably suit there better.
Or at the GF if there is carry over from the AM game then the prize instead of cash could be Melbourne / Adelaide Champs entry.

Won't happen at the Grand Final - Everything is Crown Casino if we do Satellites.
Unlike Sky City - they love us and do a lot for us.

i was more thinking you could run a satellite where you basically win "Tourney dollars"
i.e first is good for a 3k tourney entry, filled down to 1k entries etc etc. or whatever the upcoming events would be.
both states have similar buyin tourneys, and they could be non state specific.
but garth has now answered it.
maybe at the semi finals for SA then.
