Fancy playing the Genting Stanley National Poker Championships £500 main event courtesy of blonde poker and Stanleys ? Well here's your chance, blonde are running a mini league of 3 events all on Wednesdays 16th Jan 8.30pm 23rd Jan 8.30pm 30th Jan 8.30pm All will be $15 NLHE freezeouts with points for final table finishes winner gets 12 points second 10 points 3rd 8 points 4th 7 points 5th 6 points 6th 5 points 7th 4 points 8th 3 points 9th 2 points 10th 1 point quite simply, the person with the most points after 3 games wins a £500 seat at any of the three venues that are hosting the events .. which are Circus casino Manchester Circus casino Nottingham Mint Casino Southend in the event of a tie, the person with the highest place finishes between the tied players will be declared the winner, if the scores are still level after that then we will arrange a play off event between the tied players. Genting Stanley Casinos are one of the leading leisure groups in the UK today, entertaining thousands of people in their casinos every week. They are the largest casino operator in the UK with 46 casinos trading throughout Great Britain. Stanley Leisure is a subsidiary of Genting International PLC, which is part of Genting Berhad, Malaysia's leading multinational company. For many years, Stanley Leisure has pursued a focused policy of expanding its casino operations, through organic growth and a steady acquisition programme. This expansion strategy is still very much alive today as they continue to develop and add to their existing estate. They are regarded as one of the companies best placed to take advantage of the deregulation of the UK gaming industry. Stanley Leisure has been in the gaming industry for over 25 years. With all of their casinos they uphold the highest gaming standards. This, combined with their excellent customer service leads to a first class gaming experience. So there you go, a shot at a £500 seat for an outlay of $45 .... as well as the individual prize pools generated in each league event. I hope you will support us in this event and enjoy yet another bit of fantastic added value from blonde and our friends at Genting Stanleys.

Title: Re: Thats another fine comp you've got me into Stanley!! Post by: snoopy1239 on January 10, 2008, 03:30:53 PM May I suggest a thread on Internet poker listing all satellites that the blonde poker cardroom offer. This could then be edited as we go along, but it would be a cool way of keeping people informed without them having to stumble across threads.

I personally quite fancy the Stanley satellite, but it's really easy to slip your mind and miss them. How about a nudge option. People can say what events/satellites they are interested in them, and when that time comes, say 6 hours before the satellite starts, they could receive an automated pm or email as a reminder. Probably a silly idea. Title: Re: Thats another fine comp you've got me into Stanley!! Post by: RichEO on January 10, 2008, 04:39:16 PM Or they could post in the thread then on the day (and day before) when the thread gets bumped they will see it again via the Show new replies to your threads.

Post by: TightEnd on January 10, 2008, 06:30:02 PM agreed, but to date pressure of time has prevented us sending out our newsletter as regularly as we'd like
Will see if we can get that going again for advance notice of events Title: Re: Thats another fine comp you've got me into Stanley!!

Title: Re: Thats another fine comp you've got me into Stanley!! Post by: Colchester Kev on January 15, 2008, 12:45:42 PM 1st game tomorrow ... no old firm match to watch, so look out for a mass showing of colonials signing up.
Odds on a Scottish winner of the first game ?? i would say 16/1 is about right, providing no more than 300 of them register ;) Title: Re: Thats another fine comp you've got me into Stanley!!
