Hate to come 5th :D

seriously though, big difference between 1 and 2, any odds on it being chopped?

sorry just cut and pasted from the .doc i was sent i am 110% positive its 5% not .5% for 5th

i have already made the comment about the gap between 1st and 2nd to coolblonde

40% and 15% - Wow! And there was us thinking our campaign, and poll, to flatten the prize structures and reduce the deals was gaining momentum. Wrong!

But it's a new event, with a sponsor who is coming on board for the first time, so lets not be churlish. Anyway, Red-Dog is sponsored by the sponsors, WorldofPoker.TV, so I guess he intends to win it and leave everyone else to fight over second place. I hope he does!

I would love to play this comp, but it falls on a bad date for me, as I won't be home from Vegas in time. Pah!

i am starting a campaign that this tourny pays 1st of 100% as i plan o winning it with red dog bubbling 2nd

There you go WorldofPoker.TV, it just proves, you can please some of the people some of the time!

One word from me....and they do as they like!

I'll need to go & joing the casino now.

Think I'll try & play in the satelites on the 2nd July.

Sorry Iron, trophy looks nice, thats going south of the border

By the way, how come your getting inside information......is it a scottish, secret handshake jobbie?

well you see you have a sponsor that organising this event they realised as well as being crap at poker you aint too hot on the old internet so they sent me the deatails

this way if i print the info and they change it there sponsored pro dont get egg on his face

Egg on his face? It looks bad enough already with that moustache jobbie.

I like egg, it compliments my eyes

When booking ask for the Stanley Rate.

As it's the Thistle Classic then I think the only sensible place to stay is the Thistle Hotel

 :D

but the thistle is 2x the price

So that will mean it's twice as nice!  ;)

Anyway, after a long night at the tables, you'll want a lovely bed with lots of comfy pillows.

Plus, poker pros like you are worth a small fortune.

Aren't they?

 ;D

poker pro?

there wont be any pro there

wsop will be in its final week

its also clashing with a comp in blackpool

in fact it could be a HU comp between me and reddog

LOL!

 :D

In that case I should definitely try to get up to Glasgow for the Satelites. If I can qualify, I stand a chance of coming 3rd!!!!  (I wish!)

if 3 of us start we each take the top up and you finish 3rd you get 150 2nd gets 225 first gets 600 and the 525 left over goes to the other 17 places in the top 20

its not the same place lads, they are about 1/4 mile away from each other!

its just the same name thats all

Although it's great that Edinburgh are having a festival and this tourney is planned - I have to question the timing.  I going to miss Edinburgh as I'll be in Vegas and barring a miracle* I'll be coming back on the 13/14th - so I'll prob be too knackered to play in Glasgow.

*miracle = winning a place in the WSOP on willhill on Sunday AND still being in the WSOP on the day my flight leaves

I will definetly be playing.  Will probably give the sats a go if I can find the time.

Good luck Stallion  :)

havent even thought about booking a room yet red i am making sure its going to run on time first lol

was going to go, but alas, Vegas beckons....

I rang on wednesday and was told "sats are going great, were very busy" and there was a piece in the sun about Michaela doing the presentations etc. I didnt know the scots bought newapapers unless they were wrapped around fried mars bar and chips

looks like i better sort out a room

Och the noo - Thistle Classic by jove.

Might be there - and face up to the 'Internationale' Oirish Champ  :P

and if youre unlucky that split personality Fugu/Balloo might be in attendance too.

fugu is banned but balloo can play we need a little more dead money

Ironside, get across to the Last Longer Thread - Kinghwko needs "pic help".

Please.

Thank you.

Well you been slacking these last few days. Karabiner is out already. He did an Ironside.

an ironside is going out early in the main event and following it up with a money in the rebuy event

He goes out early in walsall and I have a little word and give him a little basic play...look what happens the day after. Thank god I didn't give him any of my sophisticated plays Tikay  ;D

WHOOSH!

Nice one, thanks.

"unless they were wrapped around fried mars bar and chips" 

Believe it or not yesterday we saw a stall in LV selling the equivalent of a deep fried Mars bar.
