Title: Plymouth GUKPT Post by: tikay on August 14, 2007, 01:40:22 PM I'm curious (for business reasons really) as to how many runners this will get.
It's way off the beaten (poker) track, & a bloody long way for most of us, set against that, the GUKPT is a stunning success, & a big "draw" for players. So what's your estimate of "how many"? I assume Blue Square automatically generate a number of seats via Online Qualifuiers? - 10, 30, 100? Lastly, who is playing, that you are aware of. I only know of Thewy so far, but I'm sure we could add quite a few to the list. Thinking caps on, & add any names to this thread please.

Title: Re: Plymouth GUKPT Post by: Colchester Kev on August 14, 2007, 01:42:42 PM The winner of the blonde/Virgin league will be playing ;) we dont know who that is yet though.
I will deffo be there in my official capacity as "entertainment" LOL Title: Re: Plymouth GUKPT Post by: HOLDorFOLD on August 14, 2007, 01:57:50 PM Blimey thats a long winded post just to ask the question "who will accompany me on the train to plymouth?" rotflmfao I am planning on going to this, I have folks that way so will kill two birds with one stone. Title: Re: Plymouth GUKPT Post by: The Rivercard on August 14, 2007, 01:59:02 PM As I am from Plymouth I am bound to say that I am sure it will sell out. It is no further from London than Manchester and takes just as long to get here. I am sure it will be a huge success. The Golden Sands in Torquay looks like it will sell out and that is with Leeds competing with it. There are a lot of on line players in the south west and we have a thriving series of cash games. As for the well known names then I admit I dont know but I see no reason why players would not want to come as they travel much further for other events.....and yes we have an airport :) If anyone needs any hotel advice etcthen I will try and help Title: Re: Plymouth GUKPT Post by: matt674 on August 14, 2007, 02:03:09 PM Oh and take a translating book as well (with pictures if possible) - i lived there for 3 years and even though i don't think my mancunian accent is that thick i had to ask the same question at least 3 times near enough everywhere i went for the first six months - u s u a l l y r e a l l y s l o w l y t h i r d t i m e r o u n d, so that they understood me!! :D

couldn't beat it for being relaxed and laid back - only downside being i couldn't drive at the time and walking round (especially when i was job hunting) was nigh on impossible!! :( Title: Re: Plymouth GUKPT Post by: The Rivercard on August 14, 2007, 02:22:15 PM if i had a pound for everytime someone asked me "you're not from round here are you?" i wouldn't be sat in work now!! :D couldn't beat it for being relaxed and laid back - only downside being i couldn't drive at the time and walking round (especially when i was job hunting) was nigh on impossible!! :( Well you are welcome back (I have checked .......your paspport is still valid ) ;D Title: Re: Plymouth GUKPT Post by: RED-DOG on August 14, 2007, 02:48:53 PM I will be playing if
