OyNutter going to OyDublin?

edited May 2013 in Poker Chat

In another thread, the idea arose to see if we could help arrange for OyNutter to attend SPT Dublin. (He lives in or near Cork). Not necessarily to play the actual SPT Main Event, more likely just to come along, maybe play a sidey, & just meet & chill with the Community regulars. I honestly think that would suffice, & he'd be thrilled to bits just to be there.
 
If anyone is not familiar with the backstory - the cliffs - I'm sure we can soon fill in the details.
 
Several people have already pledged £10 or £20. There is no moral pressure on anyone to donate, do it if you want to, don't if you don't.
 
Greg Hogg is organising the collection.

I think most people might prefer to just chip in a bit & give it direct to Hoggers in Dublin, that works best for me, as it happens.

One Gent asked if Sky Poker could deduct the pledges from their Sky Poker Accounts. That would not be possible I'm afraid, there are so many Compliance & regulatory barriers to that.
 
Anyway, lets see how it pans out. I believe around £70 or so has been pledged so far, which must be nearly enough to get our man up to Dublin. I cannot imagine he'd need any beer money, the regulars will take care of him, I'm pretty sure.

    Greghogg is the money man, a big lump at times but a nice guy too,

    i will buy action, if that's the phrase.  sell me 0.1% of oynutter's entrance fee (22p?) and i will buy it for £10.  then when he knocks me out and progresses to win £10,000 I will get my £10 back.  simple good business sense.  greg, see you in dublin with my smart money.

    I have a real soft spot for our little forum nutta!!!

    Some forum folk may remember our little Nutter having to go through some harsh times, medical issues, poor health and all that in recent years, so it's nice to see him back on his feet again even if he is floppin mental innit!!.

    So I will pledge £50 Flip Floppin Swaahooters!!! just to shut him up lol :)

    PM me the details for payment Hoggers and it will be with you faster than nutter can say Flopwit Flippin Mental!!!!
