OAPL 2016 Fallsview Classic Satellite Thread! Saturday November 21st

Hey everyone, so I will be hosting a poker game on Saturday November 21st at 5pm start. I was hoping to turn this game into a fallsview satellite and then break into a cash game afterwards. With that said, I wanted to see interest for what games and tournaments players are interest in playing satellites to.

The options are as follows:

The $1,000.

The $2,500.

and the $550 super satellite.

Each main event satellite we run would be a 13% buy in, no rake and all money goes directly to the pot. 1st place player would receive the main event ticket value and second would receive left over money. Players winning the ticket agree to play the event where any winnings would be split 90% to the winning player and 10% evenly distributed between the players involved in the satellite. I am considering running multiple satellites but I am not sure which has the greatest interest.

As for the satellite to the super satellite, again a 13% buy in and remaining monies beyond the ticket value paid out to second place. Equity will be split on a 95-5% ratio for the winning player and the field.

All numbers are based on 10 players exactly, but as numbers increase, a second ticket can be added as we reach the required amount of money to purchase the tickets. If we do not reach the amount for a second ticket, a 2nd and 3rd place prize will be calculated for the players who do not win.

Please post here for interest in any or all satellites, and I will keep a running tally and whichever has the most votes will be the satellite run for the 21st. Please vote which one you are interest in as well as your availability for the 21st if you can play that date or not so I can see for future satellites as well as this upcoming.

  • when are the dates for the target tournaments? i'm interested (probably the $1000) but it depends on when they are running as i won't be able to take time off of work to play.

    EDIT: seriously, i can't find anything about this series except the $5000 main event.
  • Nov 21 should work for me but I can't commit to playing in Feb, going to be crazy at work. If you need to fill the seat I'd play for the cash though.
  • I'm in for the $1000 and / or the $550
  • The dates I'm not 100% on so since I am hoping to run multiple satellites and this is the first I am going to make a change to this. This first tournament will be a satellite to the the tournaments but there will be no equity unless you are able to play. So say for instance before if you won and couldn't play, then technically you would owe $100 of the $1000 back to the group. Not anymore, you are free to do what you will with the ticket. Keep the cash, sell it etc. However the goal is to satellite players into the tournament. Because the dates are not posted yet and players cannot confirm availability, then there will be no comittment towards the equity unless actually able to and do play. If players are more interested in getting rid of all equity entirely than please let me know as this is a majority rule setting and not just what I think. Let me know if you think this makes any difference.
  • wow i'm annoyed by this. apparently WPT has announced the fallsview poker classic for 2016 according to pokernews.com however still nothing on the WPT website and googling it gives me nothing.
    Aside from that major change, the WPT announced seven more Main Tour events, including WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open, WPT Fallsview Poker Classic, and the third-annual California Swing. The 2016 California Swing kicks off with WPT L.A. Poker Classic at Commerce Casino from February 27 – March 3, then continues with WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star at Bay 101 Casino from March 7 – 11, and concludes with WPT Rolling Thunder at Thunder Valley Casino Resort from March 12 – 16.
  • Yes, fallsview has and continues to be kind of a joke in the area for so many reasons regarding this tournament, and this again is one of them. Without the dates and people being able to confirm, what are your thoughts on what I said above for a new deal for players? Fair? Other suggestions?

    Idk. Let me think about it a bit lol.
  • I'm interested in the $1000 satellite, but cannot make the 21st date.
  • Okay, there will be others but thank you for your interest, I will note it and when another date becomes available we will see what happens then. Thank you.
  • WPT issued a news release on November 4 on its website @ World Poker Tour® to Crown Champion of Champions in Season XIV WPT® Tournament of Champions. Pokernews & other sites simply copy WPT's news release. Unfortunately, WPT FPC is still pending regulatory approval from the slow AGCO so we don't know the dates for the side events or other info yet.

  • ​Thank you for the update!
  • Please put me down for the $2,500+ interest list for now.
    ​Thank you for the update!
  • I would be in front the 1000 on a different date. or the 550 on a different day
  • I can make the 21st and would play the $550 or $1000.

    Also, my understanding is that the event will be the 3rd week of Feb., according to the Supes at Niagara.
  • Talked up the satty at Brantford tourney tonight. Might be some interest from there as well. They couldn't believe we have home games with no rake, lol.
  • Crazy stuff eh! I and the other players appreciate it for sure!
  • Trigs, should I list you in the other thread as a sign up for the 21st? Are you planning to play?
  • I would be interested if downtown or close to a subway. Never met anyone though in person so not sure if a problem. Play a couple of times in Niagara if people wanna meet up.
  • Unfortunately we are not downtown or close to downtown but we are only a 10 minute drive from a go station if that helps!
  • Trigs, should I list you in the other thread as a sign up for the 21st? Are you planning to play?

    without being able to know the dates i should probably back out. most likely i won't be able to play it anyway (despite wanting to and hoping i could). sorry.
  • Put me down for all three

    Thanks!
  • Ps I still need address for tomorrow.
