    Hi Rich,
    I was in a rebuy spt sat last nigt, but the rebuy format was not working, so spoilt my game, reported and had my money refunded.
    I had a similar problem in another rebuy tournament tonight, so not very happy.It will let yourebuy when you have lost all your chips, but not when you are below the standard amount, which normally , you can do.
    Has been reported , hope they sort this out soon, as it leaves a player who is short stacked at a disadvantage.

    Well I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

    sara36dd08580001Entry to £25,000 SPT FinalRAKE00702Entry to £25,000 SPT FinalRICHORFORD03£198

    So- a good result: 3 out of 29. Cashing for £200. But it was on Sky's account and so it's their money now! And I bubbled on qualification! Congrats though to sara36dd and rake007.

    But a good starting point in my campaign. I'll give it another bash tomorrow night. Cheers for the support and railing everyone and see you tomorrow!

    Glad you got the refunds Wynne and I'm sure they'll be on to that problem now that you've reported it.

    Very well done Rich you've got some heart mate I will say that. To try and qualify through the sats yourself even though you have every chance of beng given a seat anyway was impressive enough I thought. Then to be the bubble and brush off the fact that you don't even get to keep the money as it was Sky's account and in the same breath say "I'll try again tomorrow" is some going mate. I think they should call you Mr SkyPoker lol, well done mate.

    JC

    EDIT: Also, I think you should get Sky to fund the difference and buy you in directly now mate, that's what I'd be asking for lol.

    Worse than that, in fact. He supports The Baggies, the farcical WBA.

    There is a bug with the re-buy tournaments, You can only rebuy once , when under the threshold, there after you can only rebuy when you have no chips.
    The techies are working on this.

    You cheeky little X%£^"*^£!

    I won the Open you know! For a grand! And I also recently came second in a tournament called Take On Tikay. Although there wasn't much Tikay to take on after level 2! ;)

    Oh my word- I'm almost back up to the starting roll that Sky gave me to play with many moons ago...

    Right- same again tonight. I'm doing the £5.20 rebuy at 7.35pm to try to win my seat to the Semi at 9.30pm. 

    If I fail to qualify from the 7.35 then thanks to cashing last night I can buy into the semi and give that a crack instead.

    See you all there I hope!

    Kind of, Lewis. I was brought up in Bromsgrove, about 30 miles south of Brum.

    OI!!!!!

    Treading on very thin ice there, Gramps! ;)

    It takes a very strong mental attitude (or maybe we are just mental!) to be a Baggies fan!!!!!!
