Bcpc 2011
Read on =4 that the dates are:
Oct 23 - Nov 9
Someone confirmed the dates......but seems a bit long, and ending on a Wednesday?
Apparently they've moved it up a few weeks due to the grey cup being in Vancouver.
Haven't seen a schedule yet.

If it really is that long, maybe theyve learned from past mistakes.
People simply wont travel for 1-2 events.
Put up a list with 6-8 events and you'll see a big increase in field size.
mid-late November I think, so it will definately help for US attendance
Nov 24th...
2011 British Columbia Poker Championships
October 23 - November 9, 2011
october 25 - 28 - $550 Bounty event
october 30 - 31 - $1100 event
november 2 - 5 $3,000 Main event
november 7 - 9 - $5,000 high Roller event
Need more info on the bounty.. might go in for that one.
is this all confirmed? I heard there was going to be a high roller, believe it was in a thread. Love new poker news!
anyone wishing to play should register at least a week in advance
probly have to quit my job to play this year (holidays have been nuked by Vegas)
that being said, I might try to make for the $550, as it's on a weekend
OK. Only this one time will I LMFAO at this. BCPC and BSPT...
Gonna have to say thats like apples waiting for oranges.
The schedule has everything else going for it. Other than your tourney directors, we both know 90% of BSPT players get slaughtered here...
I don't care how they do (to a degree)...I just want to be able to give them the opportunity to play here..The seats make fantastic prizes
Yeah, not sure why they take so long to announce, especially when the dates are drastically different.....even just a notice saying it's likely to be a month earlier or something.
How much would the bountys be?
Macke, I love Big Slick, I had three locations here in Calgary. However, while I agree 100% with Dennis that it's an awesome prize for any player, BCPC and WSOP I have always thought to be way too big of a leap, also the COPC 5k (or 2k). The lure of the prestigious tournaments is definitely a motivator, but I think that putting more BSPT players into smaller tourneys would give them a better shot at $$$$. Usually, a lot of players are just starting to buy into casino after 3 seasons.
No disrespect to BSPT players, but BCPC is hands down considered one of the most difficult tournament fields in Canada, if even the more experienced are asked.
From a personal note, It is one tournament that even at $550 I don't think I would have a hope in hell and I can qualify for BSPT finals everytime playing a third of the games.
While I agree to a point Jon, most BSPT players want the shot at tourneys they would never otherwise enter. We have tried the (more of) smaller buy in prizes, and players don't want that. Hell, some of em spend over 600 bucks in a season at a location while trying to win these seats..They don't want 550 seats.. They want the bigger prizing/seats. Most don't do well, as like you say, the level of play is so much more than they are used to...but they really enjoy the experience, and they get to tell their buddies they took chips from (insert pro name here)....
Selling the dream...
500 dollar seat (choice of BCPC or WCPC) then Provincials winner does get the cool WSOP seat. Then again I am going off memory.. and this is just for my area as well.
I'm sure a couple of you have played the West Coast Poker Championships.. how does that compare to BCPC? much smaller scale so I might go into one of those..
So the winner of the big tourneys gets a seat into the main event of BCPC? Something like that?
So Dennis are you saying that not all playnation locations will be switching back to Big Slick?

Also seems absurd that the rake for the Main Event is higher than prelims (% wise)
If luck swings my way, I'll see ya'll there.
PFC t-shirts anyone? or is that just super lame?

You'll figure it out. Also might want to consider starting here:

it's not a requirement though. Perhaps we're a bit leery of such 1st times posts or maybe that's just jontm and me.

oh, and please quit taking this valuable BCPC thread off track. Open a new thread if you want to talk about your own event..
