Unfortunately, I won't be able to play in the TOTTY, but I just wanted to wish you good luck at Luton, Tikay - not that you'll need it of course! This is a great gesture and deserves to be well supported.
Tsk. I got dragged into town and couldn't play the totty, forgot to cancel my reg, didn't even get a freeroll entry for my fiver. How dissapointing! Somewhat mitigated by the fact I got dragged to Aspers and came 4th/106 though
ul tikay, shame it didn't come off, but a good idea all the same. Next week?

The "experiment" went well. Well, when I say well.....
1) It never attracfted extra runners to the TOTTY.
2) I failed to cash at Luton.
3) So there will be no "Freeroll Freeroll", I'm afraid.
That apart, the plan worked perfectly.......
PS - Well done to all who Cashed in the TOTTY, & thanks for all the re-tweets & Twitter messages. I can't really reply to them all, there are scores of them, but thank you very much. I quite enjoyed doing the tweet updates, too, though I think I can do them better. All good practice, though.
Sadly, the notion that we could repeat the idea (players get a free a stake in me, & any cashes invested in a Community Freeroll) got knocked back by the Legal peeps yesterday, as, technically, it could be seen as "promoting overseas gambling", which is a big no-no, so that's that, it seems. I may still be able to do something, though, as long as it does not involve Sky Poker & I do it "privately". I'll be going out there early to play a few Deepstacks & stuff "on my own account", so maybe we can do something. We shall see.
Ryan, aka Scotty77, was there, & he was going along nicely on my Table before he had a shocking 5 minutes, it was so bad he had to laugh. To be right, he took it like a proper bloke & just shrugged his shoulders & said "good luck all".
He had a pretty big stack, & made a tidy bet pre-flop, he never counted the chips, just stuck a big chunk in. Geezer behind him then jams - looked incrdibly strong, & Ryan sighed & said "guess I've been caught, but I'm pot-stuck, I call". Ryan had 9-9, geezer had A-Q, & the Q binked, so Scotty has done half his stack.
Now he has to get a move on, & he's Raising evey pot for fun, & mullering the Table, great to watch, too.
So, on his BB I think, he announces "RAISE", (he is in Seat 9), but unbenown to him, the geezer in Seat 1 has already shoved for what is almost all of Ryan's stack. Ryan's fault, he knows that, so he sighs & is forced to match the shover's bet. Shover had 8-8, Ryan had 10-5.......
As it happens, Ryan hit the Ten on the River, but by then, 8-8 man had housed up.
I went & played £2 £5 DC after, & Ryan played some Hold-Em Cash with the likes of Vinni & Claw75 from next door.

I thought it was a great idea and given one more days notice I think you would have drummed up a lot more interest. I would have definitely have played had I realised but on a Friday I get home from work pretty late, sort out dinner and then jump into a tournament. By that time it was too late to enter and I expect a lot of people are in a similar position.
As Ryan said "is it worth dropping the £5.50 to gain entry into a possible 1k freeroll with less than 25 entrants?"
Yes! Even if you couldn't play in the tournament!
Promoting overseas gambling, it was Luton not the IOW surely? ;-)
