Hi Guys
Any tips for good hotels in Blackpool- I want to get booked up this week for the Grosvenor festival.
Thanks

I agree that the lack of willingness to play down the board is a massive sign of weakness and probably lack of experience-- Typical poor internet play in my view.

500 Freezeout last year-- 3000 chips.
 I was UTG the very first hand of the tourney and looked down at AA.. Blinds 25 /50 I raised to 150-- all folded to the Button who then reraised ALL IN !!!!>

Couldn't believe it!! I knew I was ahead but did I really want to go out first hand--

 I called of course ( after checking my hand twice!!) and he turned over QQ-- I survived the board and went on to get into the money..

 I think that the re-raiser just wanted some table image but over raising to win a few chips is certainly an increasing feature of the NL game and one some of us seniors can exploit..--LOL

Nice result Greg
I have to say that it really was a shambles tho-
From my point of view pre registration is the way forward,- and preferably pre drawn seats bit like they manage in Walsall.
In any event although the Nottm Gala is a good tourney my biggest complaint is that they never start on time.
Just grumbling really cos I went out 14th and had to wait till 4-15 am. to do it!

Any news on the STG or NL at Nottm Gala yet-- Malc M
