Hi all,

I heard about this site/forum from my mate Tom 'the fire' Burns during the last 300 freezeout at Walsall.  I think the Tournament Live pdate' feature is excellent. Thanks for the WSOP coverage as well as the insightful journal from Rob Yong. A job well done!

I've been playing 'Hold'em' for the past two years (home games) and have recently (past 2mths) started visiting casinos to try my hand in 10/20 tourny's (Star City:Wed/Thur, Gala:Fri). Generally, the experience has been a good one in terms of results and the people/characters I've met.

I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you and will be coming out of retirement from online poker to lock horns in any 'in house' online tourny's.

Incidentally, Tom Burns is in hospital in Sheffield (in good spirits, he'll be back in Brum in the next 2wks or so). I'm going up to see him again next wk so will pass on any messages.

Right then, that's me for now.

Cheers, Will.

[BrumBilly]

Thanks for the welcom Tikay,Ironside. Tom's in good spirits and he'll be up and about next week. I used the forum to update him on the WSOP as he's having laptop trouble...looks like he'll finally be able to get online later today to get a much needed fix!!

Be well,

Will.

Hi Swood,

Cheers for the welcome. Call me 'Will'...the 'Billy' thing is just for e-mail use.

Hi mate, welcome, best wishes to your mate "the fire" Burns, (great name) perhaps you could be "Fire at" Will.

[BrumBilly]

Hi Red Dog,

Thanks for the welcome and goodwill. Your suggested nickname (tho clever:You in advertising?) might just draw too much flack when at the table so I won't be adopting it in a hurry.

Got an appointment to play 9-Ball in a bit then a 'home game' after so will check in during the wee hours.

Till later,

Will

Enjoy the forum and welcome to the "family"

I could use Kev to write my messages, he's not very sharp

[BrumBilly]

Thanks to the following for a warm welcome to the forum:

Kev, Maroon, Tight End and Robert HM

It's approaching 4am and I've just got in from a night of 9-Ball and poker at a mate's house. Managed to break even on the night thanks to winning at 9-Ball and a couple of 'last longer' bets when finishing on the bubble in 2 out of 3 games.

Gonna sit back with a cuppa and kill some time reading posts while doing laundry!!

I just wish that Red-Dog did not make me laugh so - he gets TWO nominations for QOTW. (Quip of the Week). Damn the man.

"The Fire" Burns.
