I am looking forward to playing at Dusk till Dawn as much for the concept of a club FOR players not just for the casino's owners.

I am extremely sceptical of a group of casino's who have not even bothered to provide services in Nottingham to object on the grounds of not enough support for the project. How would they know?

Even though I live in Europe at present, I intend on being a regular visitor when the club is up and running and am confident that Dusk till Dawn will be the most successful Poker Club in Europe in the near future.

Good Luck to Rob and all those that have worked so hard to get things to this stage.

1. Sir Donald Bradman, certainly the greatest cricketer of all time and one of the world's greatest sportsmen from a bygone age.

2. Muhammed Ali as he was when he fought George Foreman. Ali was my absolute favourite sportsman when I was a kid.

3. Ian Botham who I am certain was kidnapped as a child from Sydney and spirited away to England. How else could he play like that?

4. Douglas Adams who could explain to everyone the theory behind the impossibility drive in space ships.

5. Dr Who so I could borrow his Time Machine. Can you imagine what fun you could have with that sucker.

I'm not sure what kind of dinner that would make but while they were all talking I would be off in the time machine doing whatever I wanted and be back 1 second later and no-one would be the wiser.

I always wanted to go back to 2 time periods, the first to the time of Christ to see for my own eyes what was really happening and 2nd to a time when prehistoric man roamed the earth playing his own version of poker. Oh yeah, I also wanted to go back to when Bill Gates was very young and offer to back him for a 25% stake in Microsoft.

Like you I tend to have marathon sessions on the net that can stretch over 24 hrs on ocassions.

One night not long ago I was tired but couldn't get to sleep and I'm sure I was seeing things.

I was also posting on the aussie forum and stopped to read what I had written when I realised I was in the middle of a huge rant, this was most unlike me but I wasn't about to delete 2 pages of pure tripe so I posted it anyway explaining the fact that I hadn't slept for 2 days.

It seemed to work, nobody noticed any difference to my normal rants.

Keep posting, but when you start having trouble focusing on the monitor you know it's time for bed.

Will be moving to Nottingham from Europe in mid-late December. It might take a few weeks to find a suitable place to stay.

Can anyone suggest somewhere not too expensive that will do as a pitstop until I find somewhere suitable.

Perhaps a cheap pub or apartment for 3-4 weeks.


Regards

Brian

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.

I've actually stayed in Nottingham a few times when I visited my niece and her family so I at least know the place a bit

People mostly mistake my accent for English ( must have been the elocution lessons my mother made me do when I was a kid ) but I'm actually one of the pesky aussies.

I thought I'd swap the sleet and snow of freezing Moscow for the sub-tropical English winter 

I'm just looking forward to speaking english again for a change and discussing poker and strategy and tactics, you know, boring things like that.

I am looking to come to England in the next month to live for at least 12 months and am looking for suggestions of which city to choose.

I have been living in Europe for the last 6 years so have no perceived favourite places.

I was thinking of Nottingham as I read they have a casino for tournaments and I have relatives in that area.

Not to mention of course that media superstar tikay

On the occasions that I have visited England I have mostly stayed in London and played at the Vic.

Of course I will need accomodation, so am looking for a small flat close by the casino or in a location where it would be easy to get there by local transport.

I will be mostly playing online while there with occasional excursions to the casino.

Any helpful information will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

When are they starting and what's happening so far?

[Place Poker Player Chip Count]

Got these from Pokerwire, but there seems to be several discrepancies between their reporting and that of cardplayer.com who have 2 players going out on 34th place for example and different players actually eliminating someone. Who knows what's really happening.

[Confusion about the break]

Confusion about the break

One of the players, Bing Wang mistakenly thought it was a dinner break instead of a normal break between levels and did not return to his table in time. He was short-stacked and in jeapardy of being blinded and anted off and Andrew Black, in a show off good sportsmanship, refused to play in his absence. The rest of the table was very much in disagreement with him but finally, Wang was tracked down and play resumed.

 

Williamson doubles through

After suffering a crippling blow from Raymer, Williamson doubled up when her A♠ 7♦ overtook Q♦ Q♠ on the T♠ 3♠ A♦ flop. The board filled to J♥ J♠ to double her up.

Andrew Black eliminates Roland Israelashvilli
