Yogi, a message to you and others who run cardrooms.

We have discussed "spamming" rather more than I would wish these last few weeks, but the message is getting through.

For the avoidance of doubt, posting information about upcoming "live" tourneys or festivals is NOT spamming, & we welcome it. Our readers, judging by the feedback, NEED and WANT to be informed of upcoming events in bricks and mortar casinos.

So you, and your like, are doing blonde and it's readers a great service.

However, poker players are averse to thinking ahead (like you need telling THAT), so you need to repeat the process, most especially a few days ahead of the event.

That will be followed, typically, by all sorts of questions from the readers. Will it fill, blind structure, prize structure, 1 or 2 day, starting chips, local hotel availability, even are there any lap dancing clubs, da de da de da. And you reply accordingly, and so it goes on.

But remember above all. We NEED TO KNOW about these events. And so we look to you guys to keep posting.

This applies to all cardroom Managers, of all Casino Groups.

As a tip, I suggest they are couched in "plain speak", rather than corporate blurb.

There you go. Cardroom managers, you have your prompt.

PS And yes, we will include a section for "Upcoming Events" in the revamped Forum. So we need you guys to use it.

OK? OK!

Ah the betfair reprobates. I wonder why they had problems in their hotel? Cant imagine why can you? They are having a raiding party down to brighton soon (while the series is on so anybody in vegas has a valid excues) and they certainly know how to enjoy themselves so keep your eyes on the forums for tales of depravity etc. Cant believe poker players who actively go out looking for strippers and the like, what is the world coming too :o

That picture is actually really funny to me because I was in one of those "I don't feel drunk at all" moods despite drinking the proverbial titanic.

I'll remember next time I feel like that that my eyes are probably rolling into the back of my head.

Yes 2 lots of 5000 points. Take teh 2nd allocation anytime within the first 90 minutes. Or get given it if you dont take it.

Probably a combination of 45 mins and an hour for the 300 comp

30 mins for the 100

And no i can't make sure Ali isn't on your table. HEHEHEHEHe

Welcome to blande Fantastico. I assume you have that name 'cos you are fantastic - but at what?

Finishing on the bubble and losing on the river to a 2-3 outer or both if I'm extra lucky.. in fact some might say I'm a world beater at it!

Thanks for the welcome  ;D

Yw Fantastico.

Maureen (The Nun) - well THANK YOU for asking. Yeah, as 10 hour flights go, it was good. Plane was half empty, so I nabbed the "middle aisle" 4 seater & stretched out, slept most of way. Also on plane were Yoyo Thew, Greg Junior Hill, Dave Gardner, Howard plant, Ai It Bradley, John C T Law, Chris Johnson, & Latiffe, who had severe problems with immigration in Vegas.

You coming out Maureen?
