What is Deepstack Poker?
With deepstack poker tournaments the number of starting chips are high compared to the blinds. There is a slower schedule of blind increases which means more hands played and longer tournaments. Deepstack poker can be an opportunity for players to use better game strategy over a longer period and show off their poker skills.
The Venue
The Gran Casino de Costa Brava is on the front line of the beach at the resort, Lloret de Mar. There is a choice of restaurants and bars including the reasonably priced, casual Red Restaurant.
