see some goods ones at my local tesco earlier, would expect they are nationwide, avoid the cheaper one's of them. I purchased one from dell a few weeks ago, great laptop for the price but windows vista spoils it in my opinion. It's no quicker than my old one but has double the memory and a dual core proccessor, i asked a friend who's up on computers and he said vista drains all the extra memory and thus makes it slower.
Just my opinion, hope it helps

for me poker is a hobby, i used to play 3 - 4 times a week at my local casino, because the casino does not make large sums of money from poker they arrange the poker games to run in such a way to leave you in limbo whilst you are waiting to play or in between playing. During your time away from the poker table they have one aim, to get you on the games of chance and therefore to take more of your money. You get bored waiting and end up losing the money you have in your pocket, I now only go to the casino once per week to play because I cant afford to lose on the games of chance. It would be easy to say dont play the games of chance, but the casino's do anything they can to get you to play, i.e they give you vouchers for slot machines to play while your waiting for the poker to start, put £10 in and we'll give you £10 credit free etc, you get bored waiting so you do it.
I and i'm sure most of the british public who play poker for a hobby and love to play, want to go to a club that can offer our hobby or interest without the risk of blowing your bank balance in the process, you'll still have some of the waiting around but how cool will it be waiting around with loads of other people who have exactly the same interests as you in a club dedicated to your hobby.
My final thought, Great Britain is not very great at much anymore but we do have some fantastic poker players who can compete and beat people from all over the world, where are all these poker greats??? they are all abroad because we dont have enough great venues like this to keep them here and attract people from overseas to compete here.

no worries i'm sure the GBPT will be much better organised next year, after all it's the first attempt. As for over subscribing, i was offered a seat at bournemouth (i understand it did'nt sell out) but had my brothers wedding that weekend. Smile it's a great game to enjoy not bicker over

how do you know it has happened on the Gala GBPT? Do you know for sure or are you guessing? would be dissapointed if its true, tried to register for nottingham and was told there was 10 places left and they were all reserved for internet qualifiers.

i'm no poker expert but, if you can make $200 dollars in a few hours a day maybe 5 days a week 50 weeks of the year, why dont you keep working for say a year to fund your day to day living, make $50,000.00 then use that to fund the start of your full time poker career?? A year passes so quickly and you can test your commitment through the good and the bad times over the year, after the year if you feel different, get yourself a $50,000 sports car and be happy.

Know the feeling, played against one last night he raised every hand pre-flop to £10 in a £1-£1 game, i looked down at AA after his raise and stuck in the £43 i had left to push out the couple left to go after me knowing he would call, he did call with Q5 off suit. Answers on a postcard please saying what the flop came!!  BTB
