What do most people do when going to these events? drive down and stay over, have a few drinks etc? - or is it it a case of going down, playing then driving home? R there hotels/bnb's etc around? I wudnt like to have to go n come bak, maybe stay over a couple of nights, have a night out, play some cash games the next day etc - long way to go down from south yorkshire just for a 1 off sorta thing..... Anyone plan to stay over or owt? - Wud like to play and meet some of u guys. DOHH Posted by DOHHHHHHH
I will be playing cash mate. I will save a seat for you to my right
Well other than a few home games I've never played live before so I'm gonna give this a go. I'm sure (hope) they'll be one or two others there in the same boat as me should I qualify.

You won't regret it Bob, I promise. Lots of the players have never played Live before, but we do stuff to take care of that.
haha cheerz big man, maybe u can gimmie a lift down too as ur T Total? hehe just kidding! - I know its 'up' to you lolol - he duz luk alot like u tho.... anyway....
Honest tho rly am interested in coming down to play, - did u stay over in newcastle shann? maybe the night before? or the one after?
I'm planning on attending this leg and staying over for a day or two. Even if I don't play the main event it'll be great to play some of the side events and get my first live experience, & get to see everyone again! (and some new faces of course who weren't at the Manchester leg).

I'd suggest the night before Doh. A nice tournie is on friday at Luton plus some very very nice 1/2 cash action.
Oh and to the guys who haven't played live before, I'm certain that Sky will organise a few rounds of practice hands to let you get a feel for it, as long as you arrive an hour or so before the tournie is due to start.

They definitely do! Even that's a right laugh lol :-)
1/2 scotty?? jeez, never played higher than 50/1.....i'd of course play, but is there not a 50/1 game or something?....
wud probli be a fridi satdi stay over, got a m8 whod be up for it and wud drive down friday morning.....more interested in the cash games than tournys, but wud give both a crack - casino virgin!
Get yourself down there Dohx7, you'll love it, & it's always good to put faces to names.
There's a (an?) Hotel 50 yards away, a Pubby B & B jobbie, for about £40 a night, or a semi-posh Days Inn 100 yards away at about £60 per night. The "tradition" is to stay over on Friday & Saturday nights, & we kinda play all night on the Saturday generally.
The Luton CardRoom is very unusual, unique almost, in that there is lots of room to wander around "between" Tables, so anyone can rail the players.
It also has the distinction of being one of only a few Casinos that do NOT permit Customers to wear Trainers - if you wear Trainers, you will NOT be admitted. Grown-ups only, see?
Most of us will be there the Friday night as well as the Saturday.
I thought it was over 18's only? - not 'grown ups only' - and I cant believe ur definition of a grown up is someone who wears shoes rather than trainers.
Your replies are so patronising sometimes.
I really get wound up by them and I x'd this window off once, to try and bite my tongue and ignore it to avoid bother, but is so infuriating ive come back to try and get my anger across without blowing up!
Ur a gr8 bloke, for that reason I cannot believe u wud intend it to come across as it does, but u said the same sort of thing in the chatbox in the deepie the other day, n I personally cannot stand that attitude.

What you have to remember that Tony comes from an era(victorian) were ALL people wore shoes and trainers were not invented, as he did not direct this at anyone why get "shirty" about it m8. Please do remember that you WILL NOT get into LutonG casino with trainers on and they will not accept any sob story if you try(they have turned regulars away for this).

50ps dont play so there is a 1/1 game but I doubt that will run on a Friday night, as the 1/1 only really runs on slow nights.
the 1/2 is 50 min 300 max with the option for one live straddle.
tikay - i take it that the no hoodie rule is relaxed for this event then?
