Thanks TightEnd....it went rather well !!

 Took the plunge to play live for only the second time last night,with a £100 buy in qualifer at the Vic in London. Just over 50 of us sat down,and after rebuys and top up,there was enough in the pot for 4 qualifers (£ 3,000 buy in normally).
I looked and acted like a novice.....which I think helped,because you're raises are respected!
Knocking out Jackarama on the way!...I managed to hang in to get to the final table of 10, where I found the great Willie Tann sitting opposite with a lot of chips!
I was the short stack to start...7,500 with blinds at 1000/2000...but with a couple of lucky all ins I hung around to the last 5.
With the crowd growing and me still short stacked,nerves were really setting in........but after an age of cat and mouse I have to thank Willie and the chip leader for pressurising and calling the second short stack to put him out..... and YES!! I had qualified for the big one next week.

So, now only 127 of the world greats to knock out over 3 days ....piece of cake !!!

Well done :)

Are they doing STT sats this weekend over there?

Someone popped the idea into my head about it, and now I can't let it drop. I have the info at home, but I am stuck in hell (work) for a while.

So, anyone gor the leaflets to hand/knows what the sched is?

I could of course just sit at home and blast the STT on Hills for the weekend - hmm torn!
