i've been looking at playing the nottingham ukipt at dusk til dawn and debating whether to enter it or not as its local to me and its the closest and only big tournament i could afford to enter in. just got an email now saying there is going to be a guaranteed prize pool now of £1m so i think i'm definitely going to enter now. just wondered if any other mobsters had been looking at it or are going to enter or have entered a ukipt before?

I would like to play when it comes to Swansea but I won't likely be able to afford it. Hopefully I can win a qualifier for it. I'm going to a tournament next month, which offers either an EPT or UKIPT seat as an added bonus in the pot so it's an obvious choice for me since I live in Swansea. I know a couple of people planning on buying in and I expect local pro Romanello will be putting in an appearance. I'd love to be there.

I did plan to play one this year, but none are even relatively close to me, and after playing live this year I'm not ready for these big boys just yet.

Posted by exostenz: I guess it would be good to play. Is it easier to play tourneys live than online? good luck if you go for it. What is the buyin?
Definitely not easier at this level. In general live and online are two different ball games and being good at one doesn't necessarily mean success in the other. At low stakes it all depends on who/where you are playing, how easily you get distracted, your body language reading skills, your tells etc. At high stakes there's no question imo. You have to develop a lot more skills to play live against pros.
As for your second question. The main event buy-in is 700 GB with 70 fee. And with hundreds of runners.

I never heard about that event but, let me tell you, if you can afford to go for it and you feel you have enough knowledge to do something good at those tables, I support you in your decision of going for it. You didn’t told us the buy-in of the event you are going to, but with a prize pool like that, shouldn’t be that low. GL and, after this come tell us who you did there!

Which pokerrooms offers sats for this live tourney? I´m not sure but i believe that i hear about that at stars but i cant find sat games in their lobby. But they have a lot of different poker series so it can happen..
