Just to tease the girlies, look at this beauty.

Interesting colour, & those knobbly tyres are a refinement, probably added as an extra, & not original equipment.

Now that's a great gas bottle sack barrow.

It's hard to ever remember seeing a better example, EVER. Absolute perfection.

Snatty, you now weigh less than me, nice work. I will be inspired one of these days

You passed QQ pre-flop? WTF? Something you'd only ever do once against ace jack right?

Is there anybody would NOT have shoved with QQ in this situation?

Looks like Scotty's auditioning for a porno baby

End of an era imo, used to love that place, although not so much of late. Let's hope the new place is better run

[in any other game/sport no matter what your background you can compete]

its the WSO POKER not WSO Holdem

Most people should be priced out imo, that's the point.

Why should poker be made so elitist Flushy? I'm curious

Some people have the ability but not the finance, and in any other game/sport no matter what your background you can compete. Why is poker any different?

lol - have you ever looked at the cost of competing in a lot of sports?

The equipment in some has a pretty hefty price tag - and that's before you have to shell out for the constant travel, accommodation and entry fees.

EDIT: and if you really want to get good the cost of a coach

You seem to be overlooking the cost of ipods, white-framed plastic shades, hoodies and baseball caps imo

Having one NL Hold'em event that costs less than £10k to enter is a step forward on last year but still a long way off what they should be offering imo.
Is four events really enough, especially when two of them won't appeal to the masses and when the other is out of most players' price range? I would never cough up ten bags for one tournament.
I'd guess two thirds of the WSOP's 60-odd events are NL Hold'em. Wouldn't it be sensible to do something similar here? Have five straight hold'em events imo, Mon-Fri, all three-day jobs and use two venues if needs be.

Other that that, min raising is unacceptable and pointless in 99% of cases imo.

I would love to be able to switch over to Betdaq but I only bet in running and there is no alternative to Betfair. They obviously know this and I now have a major dislike for a company I have always adored. Funny how things can change over the space of two or three days.

Well, I'm part of the 0.5% and there's nothing I can do about it. I paid Betfair five figures in commission over the past year but apparently that is not enough. It's now to be pretty much trebled. Good for them.

Dear Graham,
Thank you for your e-mail.
Put simply, we are introducing this charge because as a business we spend more on the customers that will incur Premium Charges than they generate in existing charges.


You couldn't make it up...

Good luck to Englishman Andy Murray

It seems the idea behind this 20% jobbie is to make the traders pay. I am not a trader. Watch this space but I'll be f**king livid if they take 20% off me.
