Title: Craig at Sheffield Post by: freak on August 22, 2005, 12:57:39 PM Right im Conscious again , dunno about you lot but these festivals are trying to kill me.
trying to do a 55 hour week on 7 hours sleep just aint big or clever. Anyway.... First off Congrats too Keith for winning the main event it was a pleasure watching the final table progress with so many class players on it, and very nice to see the main event won outright and no mention of a deal at any point. Thanks also to Tikay and the poker 425 team for making the filming of the final as unobtrusive as possible. Hope you can come back and film again at some time. Thanks also for all of you that turned up tis nice to put names to faces and was a pleasure to meet all of you ( sorry if i did not have time to talk to all of you, but i did try to. Next time if and when you come up please introduce yourselves so i have a clue :) Finally Thanks to the dealers and the valets who worked the respective gonads and titties off during the week ( valets made a few quid and the dealers had to settle for me buying them a beer friday night) ta to forde for his invaluable contributions as ever. As always i have enjoyed running this festival and am looking forward to December ( will post fomat as soon as possible) Thanks Craig Title: Re: Craig at Sheffield Post by: julian on August 22, 2005, 01:17:16 PM good job craig & the lads, as always, very enjoyable.

Title: Re: Craig at Sheffield Post by: tikay on August 22, 2005, 06:48:10 PM Thanks Craig, you the man!
Glad you enjoyed meeting Dave, he's one of life's true Gents. I am not sure if he will thank me for saying this, but he is one of those "passive, anti-smoking" peeps. He loathes second hand ciggy smoke with a vengeance, but never says a word. He did sorta say to me that he loved the Card Room, the comp, & the peeps, but he could not contemplate returning, as he'd not been in such a smoky atmo for a very long time..... Notts have the same prob - VERY smoky stmo - and it's only a matter of time before they/you HAVE to do summat about it. That apart, Sheffield will do for me - a GREAT venue, run by great guys. PS - Where did all my chips go? Title: Re: Craig at Sheffield Post by: Junior Senior on August 23, 2005, 12:06:15 PM thoroughly enjoyed it Craig. - well run comps but in a slightly more relaxed kind of style (or is that just Forde's ca't be arsed style? :D)
See you again soon Greg Title: Re: Craig at Sheffield Post by: wormster on August 26, 2005, 02:43:16 AM Hi Craig, Thanks for having us (the poker425 team) - it was a pleasure to meet you & hopefully it won't be our last visit to Sheffield. Hope you liked the edit from the main event. Steve |
