gl to both the Valhjaltaafeldt lads

Looks like they have the scrabble points locked up

I don't see this as disrespectful at all, just desperate. Its only the Harrah's publicity machine that says the bracelets should be respected (bracelet ceremonies, etc). The fact that someone has won one should be respected, not the object itself, or what happens to it. If someone wins a trophy from an event that I have promoted and decides to bin it, that's their choice. If TJ reckoned that someone would buy it and give it back to him, its a genius move.

Before anyone made a big deal out of bracelets, many of the winners of them gave them away. Doyle Brunson gave most of his away. Was this disrespectful to them? The people he gave them to may decide to sell them on. Would this be disrespectful to them? They're only tacky pieces of jewellery, they have no respect to be dissed.

As Eastgate has quit poker already and has stated he has no interest in ever wearing it, the $8m or whatever he won and his name in the record books is probably enough of a momento for him to remember his time as a poker player.

The fact that people put so much importance/emphasis on winning a bracelet is because of what they stand for in terms of poker achievement, rather than any intrinsic objectivity of them as desirable items in their own right.

Good on him. Ditch the tasteless jewellery, make some money for charity.

Hard to say, last year there were 42 runners, but I can't remember exactly how many were bought in by the day before. Seem to remember it was a similar number, as there were a lot of buy ins on the day it started.

You've not been lending them to Richard Kellett again, have you?

How many players are registered for the event?

the vic uses the most horrible cheap and tacky/small cards.


really not sure where the need for the massive numbers is though, maybe for the older playa?

Actually, the Vic uses mainly Kems, which are far from being cheap.

James, when did you last do an MC battle? How would you rate your chances against Professor Green?

I like your lyrics, but think it's a shame that you don't have more interest in UK rap, as you might have ended up with a distinctive sound of your own if you had, rather than sounding almost exactly the same as Eminem.

Anyone know what is happening with Poker 4 Charity?

Are they still active?

Had you down as fav to be the first to mention P4C in this thread.

Nice, but I wish you didn't sound so similar to Eminem. Do you know MC Tunes? One of Manchester's finest from the mid-nineties. Fatboy Slim sampled MCTunes/Dust Junkys in Gangster Trippin, made a bundle of cash and never paid them a bean for it.  Where's the mofo'ing publishing fatboy?

Good luck with the event Pete. Just one thing... it's Minieri not Minari.

when you get knocked out of a tournament on the first hand and someone says 'gg'

I am a lose aggressive player and no, I have not misspelt lose, but perhaps it would have been more correct if I had said losing.

I made a few squid betting his predictions

Very sad news. Only met him the one time in Aberdeen, but a top bloke, there is no doubt.
