It's not often I recommend a festival so emphatically, but this February, I sincerely suggest you consider making the trip to the Midlands for the Broadway Casino's 'Festival of Poker'.
Not only is the Casino one of the best in the UK with good service, prompt starts, friendly staff, dealer dealt tables, great facilities and a sensored flush in the loos, but they also put on some of the best festivals in town.
Although it's hard to predict numbers, one thing that you can be sure of is the quality of the tournaments. With a variety of comps ranging from £50 to £1,000, the Festival will successfully mix rebuys and freezeouts, whilst providing clock and chip structures that will have you watering at the mouth.
But enough talking, why don't you check out those details yourself by scrolling down and I'll see you at the tables where myself and Chris 'NoflopsHomer' Hall will be reporting at ringside for the Blonde Poker Live Updates.
Keep those eyes peeled!
