Am i right in saying you were the one with pink hair Lambert? Or have I got you muddled with someone else? Either way its a pity I didnt get to meet everyone I wanted to.
Think I'll have to qualify for another one now - SPTs are a good laugh.
I had forgotten how loose a lot of the players are on here. And when I say loose... I mean seriously loose. Ive been offline for almost 2 weeks and have come back to some crazy play. Another pro for the live column... people are much less likely to call off half their stack pre with K9os as 1) its not a bounty hunter and 2) itd make them look stupid.
Maybe I should just stick to freezeouts as getting back online and playing the bounty hunters has given me a kick in the groin after the last weekend.
Ran deep in the main however... finished 8 off the cash after making a rather silly error after I thought someone was bluffing. but apart from that its been pretty miserable.
Starting to wish I lived within 60 miles of a casino...
Really depends on when it is, what the entry is and if I can qualify for satellites or not. I'd like to go for sure but its quite a distance from me too. Lot of factors to take into account but il definitely be looking at qualifying somehow.
Yeah mate. Just going for a bit of fun, sounds like a good weekend.
Buyin's £110. It's like 3 buyin's for a normal casino game, so that not bad for a good weekend.
Never really played sat's that much. I did a while ago before i knew to much about poker, and qualified twice for the main event on a thursday, prob just a bit of luck.

I'm prob just going to buy in direct. Posted by LARSON7
Sounds good. Bit cheaper than Nottingham so buying in direct isnt off the cards. I wouldnt rely on betting in direct though. There were a whole bunch of people that couldnt enter in nottingham cause it packed out.
Definitely worth playing a few sats to enter. Great value there and means you can spend what you would have spent to buy in direct on travel whilst guarenteeing your seat before the event.
At Birmingham direct buy in didn't happen. Sats only.
DTD even with the bigger buy in and capacity only had limited seats available for direct buy in.
Satting in definitely seems the best option to me. Got to factor in expenses as well. Whilst I can only dream of making a day 2 it would obviously be prudent to factor it in.
Congrats on your cash in the SPT. Not bad for first live experience.
I,ve played about 6 , but still no cashes ( apart from a few bountys in the BH one)
Not sure where you live but i thought it was a pain being 25 miles from my "local" Casino. Its a bit crazy - 3 in Blackpool but none in Preston and whenever i go to Blackpool i bump into the same faces from Preston.
Maybe have a look at your local pubs to see if theres any games going. Its not quite the same as they have rules and limits with regards to prizepools although a lot of places often find a way round this and its always a good night out . Its suprising who you bump into. I,ve met a cpl of high stakes players on here in pubs playing for a fiver or a tenner. You can,t not learn from these ppl
GL with rest of your diary and if you go to newcastle - hopefully see you there

Hi MP33.
Many thanks for the congrats. I live about 20 miles east of Oxford. I do believe there is a casino in oxford but its the type that advertises buffets instead of tournaments on their website so I havent even bothered.
I'll definitely look into a local pub game somewhere but will have to have a look at where exactly. I do live a bit out of the way but i did enjoy SPT Notts enough that id consider driving a bit to find a game (obviously not too far).
Thanks for the wellwishes and hopefully I do find the dollar to make the trek up to Newcastle and meet you amongst some other forum regs i missed in Notts.
Pretty sound advice. At Birmingham direct buy in didn't happen. Sats only. DTD even with the bigger buy in and capacity only had limited seats available for direct buy in. Satting in definitely seems the best option to me. Got to factor in expenses as well. Whilst I can only dream of making a day 2 it would obviously be prudent to factor it in. Edit: You got there before me Henrik. You sure direct buy in will be an option? I may be wrong. (Often am) Posted by Jac35
Really? Gutted lol
I thought they ran sats then allowed direct entry couple of weeks before.
If you can only Sat in, I might not be able 2 go cause I don't want to be throwing money at sats, and not qualify.

Just treat sats as another tournament with £110 up top then it doesnt seem as bad...
No chance will Newcastle have direct buy in available. Gonna be sats or nada. I'm gonna give them a bash when they go live. Might need someone to share hotel costs...

got your PM. will try to reply tonight. no reason you shouldn't be able to sat in, although clearly more luck involved than direct buy-in!
and they will have alternates, I would have thought. i.e get there early and sign up on the waiting list. I think over 40 got into Notts that way. (on top of a starting field of 200+, so maybe half that at Newcastle?)
Dont you hate it went you knock someone out of a rebuy 3 times before the rebuy period is over... then they come and donk you out after the rebuy period has closed with K6os, 46os, A7os, 94os and K6os again after calling 4x raises every.single.****.time.

Great to meet you at the weekend, Sir, & congrats (ish) on the result (ish).
Hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks Jonathan. Pleasure playing with you too. Just glad I cashed! Well done on your cash too. See you at the next one. Lol.

Wouldn't want to chuck loads of money at Sats. £10-£20 max.
I'll send you a message about Sats.

Urgh.
