Thanks Womble,

              We've given it a some thought, and we are planing to wait until Day 2 but if there's an early exiit on Day 1, we willl bring them back in, as it's no fun getting drunk in Blackpool on your own.......................

There are 2 teams from our pub, and there's a plan to have a team photo on the "Big One" on Blackpool pleasure beach during lunch on Saturday, followed by an Urban Ramble when Day 1 finishes at 10.00pm. These
lads know how to party so I fear the worst.

Hi Everyone,

    As there's a lul in postings I thought I would ask for some humourous names for a 4 man poker team:

Sue & I are taking our 2 girls to Blackpool this weekend to play in Redtooths' Vegas team event; the prize pool is £2,500 plus the winning team gets a trip to Vegas next May if one of the team wins the event - and it's max'd out at 50 teams.

Each team has to have a name, so please let us know anything better than ours:

   "We don't even fold our laundry" that was after ditching Grimsby Grinders...........

Thanks in advance.........

Charity/Blonde for me & Sue as Well Tony.

Cheers


Dave

Just got back from the Crown & Anchor, what a game and what a finish. Stu Rutter and the Jake Kody crew where there; and Stu was thrown out 3 times after arriving at 2am, 9 hrs before the kick off. Jake had just navigated day 1 of the main event and was celibrating, 500 brits had a great time, the 3  Columbians not so much. Roll on Saturday at 7.00am.........

Good day All,

   From the Cosmopolitan  just after 5am , i’ve Been awake now for 90 mins whilst Sue and our daughter Emma compete with the dawn chorus, jet lag does get worse as you get older. Spent happy hours reading this thread over many years, and thought why not get involved, so here we are:

We’ve been coming to Vegas since ‘98, our Silver Wedding trip, and have been here most years ever since, bringing family and friends with us many times; but 2010 was the most amazing and emotional trip ever.

After Sue’s    against Swordsyboy’s  and James Hartigan saying “We know where this is going” on 865 in the May final, a few weeks later we were in a suite in the Rio. For 10 fantastic days, full of interviews, 16hr days and 10 hrs solid poker for Sue each of her 5 days in the main event, with me becoming a professional railer, butler and masseuse. Tony and the team from next door helped Sue to believe she could play and take on the best of them, and I have to say she did just that, from losing nearly half her stack in the first 2hrs, to folding Q’s twice in the hand for hand 4 days later.  Money cannot buy that sort of experience, and we look back on it and still have to pinch ourselves that it really happened.

We brought Emma to Vegas for her 40th and we will be taking in all that Vegas has to offer and playing a few tournaments on the way, that’s after of course going to the best venue to watch England win this morning. - the Crown and Anchor pub off Tropicana.

Cheers Dave and Sue
