Title: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: The Truth on March 30, 2006, 01:32:01 PM The ICHUC (International Charity Heads Up Council) is proud to announce that it’s first major contest will be a battle of huge proportions between perhaps the two fiercest rivals in poker : Great Britain V Ireland – This Time it’s for Charity.
Eleven poker faced warriors from each nation will face off against each other on the afternoon of Saturday 8th July 2006 at the magnificent battleground commonly known as The Fitzwilliam Club, Dublin for the first leg of this heads up team International. The generals have been appointed. For the Team GB the weight of responsibility falls on the shoulders of James ‘Royal Flush’ Dempsey, whilst Team Ireland have opted for ‘Mr Antesup’ Mike ‘LuckyBlind’ Lacey. Three places in each team have been reserved for on-line qualifiers, whilst the rest of the team will comprise of players selected by the team captains. Team Ireland will announce details of their on-line qualifiers in the next few weeks. Team GB are pleased to announce that they have signed a sponsorship deal with www.bluesqpoker.com. Blue Sq will be providing a ‘Value Added’ qualification tournament. Further details of the heads up challenge, which will be followed by a Euro 20 rebuy charity tournament, can be found at www.poker4charity.org & www.onepercentpledge.com The charities to benefit are Game For Life and OnePercentPledge. ICHUC is a partnership between OnePercentPledge and Poker4Charity Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: stallyon on March 30, 2006, 03:38:39 PM Frankie Says Relax

Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: The Truth on March 30, 2006, 04:57:50 PM Will be strange watching people being nice to flushy in order to be selected in the team :D :D :D
Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: M3boy on March 30, 2006, 04:59:01 PM Cant see that happening Dave ;goodvevil;
Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: Robert HM on March 30, 2006, 04:59:41 PM Nothing wrong with flushy, salt of the earth, pretty hot player as well.
Ok so I wanna play Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: stallyon on March 30, 2006, 05:03:34 PM If only I had something to blackmail James with...drat
Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: Robert HM on March 30, 2006, 05:04:49 PM If only I had something to blackmail James with...drat Make it up Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: M3boy on March 30, 2006, 05:11:09 PM Cant see that happening Dave ;goodvevil; OK, i was wrong .............................................. :pop: Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: The Truth on March 30, 2006, 05:19:28 PM Well I have decided to play the qualifier rather than be nice to his flushyness :D :D :D
Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: Robert HM on March 30, 2006, 05:25:26 PM Typical, just like the Barca HU comps all the sats will be MTT and not a test of relevant ability. OK a gripe Davey but not aimed at you or the generous Blue Square.

OK a gripe Davey but not aimed at you or the generous Blue Square. No probs Robert, I agree with your point 100%. I know Jamie would have liked to run a HU format as well however blue square's software does not allow for it. Hopefully it will in the future. Just to point out this is the first leg and the second leg will be held in Britain later in the year with further chances to qualify - perhaps a live HU tournament for a place. We are also holding a four nations event (England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales) later in the year. James has already been confirmed as England captain and BlondePoker's very own TheTank will be captaining Scotland. Cue people being nice to TheTank for the next three months. Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: Royal Flush on April 04, 2006, 09:32:44 PM Ok i think in the intests of evreyone getting a crack at this it would be best to give the 3 seats away in 3 seperate sats, incase you cant make 1.
Question is what day of the week do people prefer? Suggestions anyone? Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: londonpokergirl on April 04, 2006, 09:36:37 PM saturday/sunday after 9pm would be easier for me
Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: Ironside on April 04, 2006, 09:46:29 PM oh tank you cant ignore my form played 9 live HU matches winning 8 and only losing my first ever one and i was playing the nun so i didnt want her to hate me
last 8 wins include cupcake,YT,scottm and a few (5 nil) v tikay cant think of anyone i would rather have as captain than tank his rep for playing quality poker is 2nd only too mine ;D Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: The Truth on April 04, 2006, 10:04:51 PM I have NOTHING to do with the team selections (thankfully), however, I do know thetnk is looking to make the Scotland team a team representing ALL regions of Scotland, not just Glasgow.
I am very happy to announce that the Welsh captain is ------ Rudders. Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: Ironside on April 04, 2006, 10:08:13 PM my cv has been posted for the tank to preview at his leasure and ignore
Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: luckyblind on April 05, 2006, 02:25:22 AM Bring on the Pain Flushyfish........ ;scarymoment;
This a fantastic idea and I am honoured and flattered to be involved. The Fitzwilliam card club in Dublin is one of the best places in the world to play poker and Luke Ivory has been very receptive to the idea. Once the underdogs have triumphed we will have some fun in the MTT with a hugely exorbitant reg fee that will go to the charities. Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: I, Zimbra on April 05, 2006, 02:42:03 AM Me and my necrotic money will be there, as soon Blue Square gives the word... 8)

Dave from onepercentpledge.com here. We're really looking forward to this and it will be nice to see 'flushy' cry and have to buy him a pint so he can drown his sorrows. Remember, if you don't make it to the teams The Fitz has a great game on a Friday night and plenty of cash game action and Dublin has plenty to offer those fond of a tipple. Also, I hereby call out 'TheTruth' for a €20 HU match to kick off the proceedings. Im sure there would be massive action on the side over that game :D So, if you dont get into the representitive games then there is plenty to come over for. If in doubt ask any of the Gutshotters that have been over before. Thanks and good luck qualifying...... PS If your trying out for the Irish team we will be organising the qualifiers as soon as the Irish Open is over. Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: Royal Flush on April 06, 2006, 12:31:47 AM Also, I hereby call out 'TheTruth' for a €20 HU match to kick off the proceedings.

Title: Re: When Two Tribes Go To War Post by: nirvana on April 06, 2006, 03:10:47 AM .... so, as I was saying in Nottingham, any time you and Jane want to stay at my place in Florida just let me know.
