Is the money raised going to Help for Heroes or Liam Riley's family?

It doesn't make it clear on the website.

Also, am I right in assuming there are no cash prizes?

Again, no mention on the website.

All the entry money will go to the "cause"?

After the Poker4Charity farce, they should have learned they need to totally transparent with financial matters.

Hi Keith,

This is a totally different animal to poker4charity  (In hindsight maybe we should of called it something different lol)

I will try and answer any questions people have on this event.

Cheryl wanted to do something for helpforheroes in memory of her son, and asked knowing that my son was in the army if we could do something for h4h, as poker is her passion and mine it seemed natural to raise money via a poker event.

The money is going straight to helpforheroes and it is a registered event for them.

We have absolutely NO ADMINISTRATION COSTS.

The buy-in is £125 for a reason, originally we wanted an event that all entry money would be returned to the charity and the prizes would be the donations, however we expect a very high turnout. We wanted a £100 freezout but as there are no registration fees we decided to raise the buy-in to £125 simply to give us breathing space with the prizes. If it is a low turnout then the ALL the £125 will go to charity, but if for some reason 400 players turn up the extra £25 will be used as additional cash prizes to make at least 27 stepped prizes relative to the field.

I will answer any questions anyone throws regarding this.

This is a third party event at DTD, it just so happens that DTD have kindly donated the premises and the staff for the day.

Any questions regarding the charity itself can be answered here http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/

Cheryl has worked her butt off trying to get the pokerworld to come together for this, and I personally have never seen a poker event on this scale where the majority of sites have donated.

Fire away (if I don't answer straight away, forgive me (it is a deepstack weekend))

That's great, thanks for answering my questions, I think you should update the page will all this info, just so everyone knows the score.

GL with the event!

Cheers Keith, will do.

Registered event http://pokerforheroes.org/

was just trying to get the info thanks for doing it for me  ;D

is there gonna be 2 day ones?
also are there any other side events?

No Paul, it is scheduled to be a one day event. DTD's usual comps will be on the Sunday night.

ah i see just wondered cos op said it was 29-30th

Hi Jjandellis, I am sure some of Liam's friends from 3 Yorks will know about the event, and my sons mates from Tech Troop CLR know about it, I don't suppose you have any contact details for Soldier Mag. Would love to see a few fish squaddies play this! Spread the word please :)

do you know what will be the main prize?

The biggest donation we have had so far will be the main prize, which will be a £5000 London EPT seat and £3000 spending money (donated by Stars), if we have to add more cash that still may be a possibility. It all depends on runners tbh, it may end up that 1st place has 2 prizes?

unless you can think of anyone that may donate a bigger prize :)

Cheers bud much appreciated

hi, im cheryl routledge who has organised this.. i have in mind to approach some of our sponsors before the event to sponsor some some soldiers into the event.. i have very close links with the coldstream guards as my son was attached to them whilst out in Afganistan and would definately be contacting them if this comes off..

Hi Cheryl,

I will send you my Sky Poker e-Mail addy via PM, contact me, please.

Bump

Is the event being played on Sunday 29th?

the game starts at 4.pm on sunday the 29th and will end in the early hours of the 30th kev..x

that would be great ty, please pm me with their e-mail address if you can..

I know from my sons experiences that the army lads love a game of poker in the mess etc but as you say, to give a few of them the experience of DTD would be something else..x

this is fantastic i being an ex member of the 2 battalion the royal anglian reg i will 100% deffo be playing this and think its a fantastic charity that deserves as much support from the poker comunity as possible.

i think there could be a chance of some football/sporting memorabilia being donated by steve walsh he owns a memorabilia bussines and is well known for his charity work he recent organised a poker night at leicester gala,
which he got some ex sporting legands to participate in

http://www.legendsuk.com/about-steve-walsh.html

http://www.premierpromotionsuk.com/

wow ... if there is anything i can do to help in any way shape of form please let me know  i would be more than happy to help in any way possible

Organiser, you should probably write to some sports stars, or their management companies for memorabilia to donate. Lawrence Dallaglio is a big supporter of HFH, pretty sure he could sort out some England rugby stuff for you.

This will be a fantastic event and for a very good cause.

Count me in Cheryl and look forward to seeing you there x

Hope I don't have to buy you in again.  ;D ;D ;D

This really deserves to sell out.

The fact that it's for charity makes it worth playing.

Just a quick glance through the prizes though shows that it's highly likely to be great value competition anyway.

The donations are fantastic and are worth at least 20k.

If this competition is advertised well it will get 400+ runners easily.

See you there.

I agree, and know Cheryl has worked tirelessly on this for a long time. I am not 100% sure I will be available on this date but if I am will definitely be there, and if not will support in other ways.

Really would urge everyone to play this if you can, not just for the prizes but for the fact you will be doing something for someone other than yourself.

Worth a bump.

Also, can buy in be done at the club from now?

Did notice that originally the note said buy in on the site or on the day but have too much trouble loading the site for some reason and don't really want to miss out by risking on the day buy in to find it may be full

Geo

yeah i struggled to buy-in thru the online shop...i'll be down there tomorrow night & will let you know if it can be done at dtd

Many thanks kind sir

Geo

regged online was ok for me

buy-ins at the cash desk available soon...

Many thanks Julian.

Have had some great response from blondes looking to help out.

Geo

At the moment there's been a lot of interest shown but ATM only 7 people have bought in online, however I do think (hope) that it may sell out. There will also be 4 levels of alternates for any reserves.

As an addendum we have have had confirmation that Neil Channing has donated a season of his poker workshops worth £750

And Mad Marty has kindly agreed to host the event.

If people are interested in playing this game then I would urge you to buy in online ASAP just to calm my nerves lol

I bought in tonight at the club, I can only emphasize how much this means to me!!!!!! (the masses!!!) have you seen the prizepool!!!!

Lots of my work pals have bought help for heroes wrist bands, please please dig deep.  At the end of the day, the fallen have dug deep. We talk about heroes, whether it be your boxing idol, Chris Eubank, Ian wright, Paul Ince, your mum, dad, gran..... my point is please support someone, who may be from your home village (retford,branston) who goes to war for your freeedom of speech!

touching post Craig....
 i am defiantly playing and will buy in next time i am at the club same thoughts especially being ex forces

Thanks Lee, I was slightly worse for wear when I posted that! I hope the club is as rammed as the PP 48/MC weekend.

i'm in (bump)

i in via dtd online shop no problem

Still waiting for a couple of other prizes hopefully? :/

If anybody knows of any company that wants some decent publicity by donating anything no matter how small, please get them to get in touch, doesn't have to be poker related. TY

how will the prizes be distrubited?

also will any of this be in a raffle?????

The distribution of prizes will be decided on the day, dependent on how many runners. I will try and be as fair as possible with the distribution of the prizes and they will be announced and displayed once reg is over. I will try and give similar "monies worth" of prizes as if it were a normal comp.

There may well be a raffle, but we need some donated prizes to get this going. At the moment we have a signed John Terry England Shirt, if we do not get any more "raffle" prizes, this maybe part of the prizepool.

Hope this answers all your questions.

There will also be representatives of Help For Heroes there on the day, selling there wares.

Any serviceman past or present thinking of playing, it would be nice if you could wear your colours.

Also for those wondering about the PKR change, we originally had 2 packages for the Fox's main event, but due to the fact we had to change the date this is not possible as it is too late. They have kindly replaced those prizes with 3 prize packages to PKR’s biggest online events – The Masters ($270 buy-in), The Prestige($109 buy-in) and The High Roller ($150 buy-in).  Each package will have one ticket to each of the three events for a total value of $529 each.

surely u can take some of the prizes for the tourney and make them raffle prizes??

pretty sure  ppl would spend alot on raffle tickets because  bad poker players like me have a chance to win something nice

Again this is dependent on the amount of runners, if we get 400 runners then I would like to pay 36 places, 300 runners 27 places, 200 runners 18 places, If we only get 200 runners then yes some of the prizes may be included in a raffle (hoping this wont be the case though ;) )

i so hope this is a sell out and a raffle a must IMO easy to  sell tickets for £5 each at an event like this sell 200 and its another 1k for the charity

fyp

you coming down for this? me and Gav are playing it

Can you buy in online for this? My DTD account has a fairly healthy balance at the moment (blatant brag, obv), so would be useful.

If this has been mentioned in the thread so far, apologies.

I used to go out with a girl from Scunny. Right filthy rat. Any ways. I remember at the pokes tables once slagging off scunny something along the lines of "never seen so many kappa tracksuits in one place, its like going back to the 70s" one guy verbally takes offence, he is a decent player tbh and didn't take it with a pinch of salt (which is what you should do with most of what i say) then i look across at another guy on my table tattood head to toe, i look at his hands and notice some wording on his knuckles, it reads S C U N T ...H O R P E. lol. gulp. luckily for me he turned out to be a proper nice guy and took it a lot better than the other matey. There is my lil story about Scunny. Also i found a place which did full English for £2.50 can't get better than that!

No doubt you will probs know both of these guys.

Yes sir via the shop

all girls in scunny are filthy but clean. you cant get that in donny. we like to think we are 80's casuals and kappa tachinni fila etc are all part of the uniform. only really 3 decent players who make a decent profit/living herbert, marsh and saleh. others are break even or worse.  will know who they are or recognise em. having said that i walked into the bar of Dtd last week turned to my two mates and said "look at this twat with shades on and hat on backwards. i bet he's got no mates". turns out he was from scunny.

Sats on DTD

I think this is the best competition so for this year.

What a great cause. If this is within your roll . It would mad not to play it.

Regards

M

Didn't realise this is a one dayer, gonna try and make it presuming we get donked out of the team event thing at Star City (we have a fiery greek in our team so he'll probs lump em in). Great cause, and moving reading the background and about the bravery of Liam. Well done to Cheryl for the hard work in putting this together, hope it gets the support deserved....

Thanks. Now bought in. Was hoping I could use DTD account funds, but apparently not. Will withdraw some to cover it.

I've not bought in via shop before. Do I need to bring anything with me to the club, or does it all automagically happen like when you used to buy in through the poker client?

It's a great cause. I suspect the atmosphere in the club will be a very good one on Sunday. Have you got any numbers on how many bought in so far?

All automatic. Just check the board and take your seat when you get there.

thanks jeff, would be great if you can mention the event to people at star city as an alternative option should they have an early exit from the team game   ;whistle;   .. hope to see you at DTD.. cheryl x

Will do Cheryl, sure they won't mind. The team game is organised by Paul Jackson's site and he's on the list as confirmed playing at DTD!

Wow, what a wonderful tourney. I'll be there.



Cupcake.

Wonderful news John, Thewy & I will both be there, be good to hook up. Do try & wear a decent shirt this time, please.

AJ mutli-tabling at two different venues?

Now that is flair!! :)

Will be good to see you there mate if all doesn't go to plan

2 eyes ???

I'm playing this btw :)

Lol. I was wondering when you would see this. Me too, i'll be the 20 odd stone, 6ft 3 geezer with 3 eyes. BRANSTON FTW.

Im In!   How many runners do we reckon this will get?   
Only 40 reg'd according to DTD site so far

Wonderful news John, Thewy & I will both be there, be good to hook up. Do try & wear a decent shirt this time, please.


Hi Tony,
   It'll be Superfantastic too see ya! That'll be two teas and a red wine, I'll go get em.
[/quote]

Not withstanding the fact this is for an excellent cause (very important)..I cant help but notice this is excellent value too  !

Everyones a Winner

Peace x

This.

Its also a fun format, winning notable prizes rather than money (tho there is cash to be won too). I actually think tournament organisers should take note as if this is a success, and I think it will be, its a prize format that should be replicated.

+another

Was hoping to be able to play this, but I won't be able to make it up there anything like in time.  Hope it's a huge success though.

On the way to T8MML's now, looking forward to playing this tomorrow and meeting a few more ppl from here.

 Hopefully it will get the field it deserves!!!

grrrr, lift just let me down but will get there even if i have to set off walking with a rusty nail in my boot.

where you live?

Ahem, and five copies of the new book that is changing the way we think about poker and life. ;)

Actually I think I will Barry Greenstein it by giving one away to whomever busts me

scunthorpe...no biggy as i can pay someone to drive if it gets desperate

What time do doors open today btw?

ok gl

What are these please?


888 Live superstack seat   

Betfred seat   

yea cos there is loads of em ?

I think the Betfred seat is a $215 to the iPoker sunday jobby, ad the 888 super stack is to the London Poker circuit thingy at the sportsman(no idea the value as they change that tourney every week)

Whatever. It's all good. (I was just curious)

Prizes look fab, hope its a great turn out and gl to all..
 

Sigh, with prizes like this i might actually have to get my grind head on. Just what i wanted to do with a killer hangover.

Selling any out of your boot?? Saves for me ordering and waiting for delivery.

Actually will be, also have some Trevor Francis tracksuits off some mush in Shepherds Bush if you are interested.

I'll be bringing my copy along to read between hands

might have a tracky off you but be carefull coz barry neville got the red card from grosvenor for selling ladies errrrrm massagers out of the boot of his car.

is there gonna be a seperate thread for coverage or are we just gonna lump it all on here.

see you all soon. by the way this is not my diary...no honestly its not my diary

you're normally in every hand :)

http://www.superstack.net/#/2011-schedule/4548017160

Fml. Opened the first hand and gets 3 bet. Say to the kid go steady buddy. I'm sat here in my dads old s/major jacket and you treat me like that. You know this is charity and poker for heros. Sorry mate he says, you're miles ahead.

disappointing numbers ..but a big thank you to the organisers and dtd
was a good day to meet a few people and 100% effort by all involved

How many is disappointing? From some things I'd read I thought there would be a few hundred at least

154 mate was expecting 250 min but nearer 350

154, though it was agreed in the first level that they would allow one rebuy, which would go to H4H, to juice the pot. I was kinda hoping for 200 plus though I am guessing the raffle made a few quid and a special mention to James Moult for digging deep'ish to purchase the signed JT England shirt in the auction.

Massive props to Rob and the team for hosting the event, I can not say enough about the place!! I vote with my feet and rarely play poker elsewhere!

from what was said they made about 25k ish i am sure rik9 will come on later and let us know

Got back in at 7.30am, finished 3rd so very happy.
Thanks to Cheryl and all at DTD for the event.
My package is for the 1000 palm beach jobbie plus the sportsman 165 and the 215 i poker event so i have told Cheryl and Rich that i will donate 10% of anything i win back to H4H

IN Before any posts 10% of nothing is nothing   ;)

nice one well done

was a great day, as said numbers a little disappointing not to get more but £25k is a nice amount for a great cause

I was going well until I lost a 80k pot at the 300/600 level, teach me not to play rubbish hands like AA :(

+1  nice to meet you and all the other blondes that played

Massive respect for donating 10% obv bink the world!

Was good to meet ya yesterday Mr Eso, got to see RedDog's moustache in the flesh, even enjoyed being needled by George in the fiddy donk. Wanted to meet a few more people in the breaks and that, but was busy sorting my bank accounts out as someone had gotten a hold of my details and went on a spending spree. sigh.

Great charity, great day.

yea same here

same George's fault for not introducing enough of us

Great day yesterday and although circumstances conspired against Cheryl with regards to the dates it was still a fantastic effort by all. Cheryl said it was around £25k which is no mean feat and hopefully the next one will be even bigger. Was great to meet a couple new Blondes, as mentioned a shame not to get to meet more but that's an excuse for another trip sooner rather than later!!

I'm paying for it now after all the walking I did on Saturday getting up to Tim's but it was definitely worth it and I look forward to doing it again soon.

Was funny to see that Jason is a lot less controversial in real life too  ;)

Massive well done to everyone involved, sorry to George for the badbeat and for then spewing them off afterwards :D

Recommend Jared and Barry's book for this. Really is helping me not be a bad loser.... was a pretty fun hand tho. 55k pot on turn with A high and k high at 400/800/100

Just a quick breakdown of how much was raised for help for heroes

154 runners = £15,400

38 re buys = £3,800

John Terry signed shirt = £450 (many thanks Jim)

£110.41 from buckets

£1445 from the raffle

Total on the day = £21,205.41

+ £2140 from UKIPT event + £600 from Nick Wealthall from that event

Gives a total of £23,945.41

Many thanks to everyone who helped, supported and donated and Cheryl ( you are just a superstar)

In truth I was mortified by the attendance, and bitterly disappointed in myself to let it effect my mood, as I really wanted to enjoy the day and have a good craic. It still was an enjoyable day and a cracking competiton made better by the value lol. Met some great people and heard many inspiring stories ... It's not all about the pokerz!

Blimey, I sound miserable but the fact is H4H is £24k better off and that will make a significant impact for some of our injured heroes so again a great big thank you to everyone that attended!

Haha yeah I think yesterday was the nicest tournament I've ever played, don't think I saw a bad word said by anyone all day and quite rightly too.

That was a pretty sick hand and I was pretty happy to have so much equity when they came over :D

great effort all round richard.

"Was funny to see that Jason is a lot less controversial in real life too " i have had my moments marky  but there is a time and a place. nice to put a name to an alias i have known for years. i think junior may be in Tims crew too but never got to chat to him. noticed a few of betfred patches yesterday so gl to Tim with that.

Thourougly enjoyed this event, pretty sure i lost the drinking contest, still continue to run ridic bad at raffels, and got told i was broker than georgie...

 more of these events coming?

i was too looking forward to the day for such a long time i know how you must of felt ...however great job sir you did everyone proud you really did thank you

Richard I really can't understand your disappointment one bit.

You've made a fantastic effort and with the help of others have put on a great event.

154 runners considering everything else that was on that day is amazing.

It's not easy to compete with loads of other poker comps of similar buy in + a huge music event taking over most of Nottingham city centre.

You should be incredibly proud of what you've done.

I agree with all of the above. You arranged a Poker competition in Nottingham on a bank Holiday Weekend and Raised £24k

Will this increase 40% because of tax ? I don't understand the Tax thing for charities.

You should be very proud. £24000 Pounds is MASSIVE ...WELL DONE

WP everyone involved.

Not just Soldier mag, don't forget RAF news obv, no idea what the Navy one is. With the amount of RAF camps in Lincolnshire/Notts area would also be decent publicity.

You got to meet me! :)

Hope you got your account(s) sorted out. That's rubbish form to get them all hacked. Oh and by the way, considering your exit hand, I'm considering my 1010 pass a bad one ;)

Good luck.
Paul.

Are you the network security guy?

My exit hand was AQ vs 99! with 10 bigs. probs referring to my airball jam with the gutshot redraw which crippled me? (i completely miscounted his stack thought he had a purple at the bottom so obv he was committed, although i didn't expect him to have 3 bet me oop with jq os. sigh. 

How did you pass 10s there?? i valued with JJ, so good pass, the river was a bit dirty. I thought you was going to pay me off with A9.

Accounts are almost sorted, i have had everything blocked and new ones sent, but they said they have a new process available when so many of your personal details have been comprimised but i couldn't do that until today.

I have seen you at the tables a fair bit before but wasn't sure who you was. Was good to talk/play with ya man. No doubt see you at the tables again soon. GL

Well network security isn't my job really, it's just something I'm into more as an interest but yeah that's me. Yeah I was referring to your 89(?), pretty sick by both of you tbf.

In our hand I felt like you had JJ/QQ and wasn't liking my call on the turn to be honest. I don't think I pay any river. I wasn't beating much.

Good to hear the accounts are sorted. Nice to meet you and GL to you too.
