ESTA asks for Employment information now.

Any suggestions of the best way to complete this section if main income is poker for ten years? I've been grilled and searched twice before and want to avoid that if possible this time, not sure how to give a satisfactory answer to this section though.

Isn't it just a yes/no question? Answer no if that's the truth, better than making stuff up?

The question is what's your occupation and then goes on to ask who your employer is and the address of your employer.

I can't remember three games in a row that we have dominated with so much possession, scored no goals and got no points.

As you say, doing it the hard way.

I played one of the UKPC satellites whilst also playing the live satellite at the club a few months back.

One scenario that did cross my mind, a few hours in and the empty seat to my left was filled by a new player who perched his laptop down on the table to his left.

He was also playing the online sat at the same time.  We had a quick chat and exchanged online names.  Luckily, we weren't on the same table on Partypoker.

I was playing on an iPad, and it did make me think, if we were on the same table online, I would really struggle to conceal my hole cards online, and I imagine vice-versa for him.


The more players that play for this promotion, the more likely this scenario will occur.

Obviously depends on the exact formation you choose to play, and where you choose to play some of the players, but I was thinking it would be 4-3-3 of sorts

2 x Goalkeepers
2 x Left Backs
2 x Right Backs
4 x Centre Backs
6 x Midfielders
6 x Forwards

I'd agree.  The Barca/Bayern/Real thing is down to proper World Class players.

If you were putting a current best in the world squad together (2 players per position), how many would be from the PL ?

Funniest commentating ever.

"on your bike german" lol

#JusticeRiver

As I said in OP, what I find most unpalatable is that they knew what the river was going to be and cheered it in like it was a pleasant surprise.

The commentary was unpalatable if they had not known the outcome, to have known what was coming and carry on the way they did was extremely poor form.

Oh, and well done Sharplea

Albert: I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too.

This rules out any month where the date is unique to all 10 options, so it can't be May (19) or June (18)

Bernard: At first I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know now.

This means it has to be a unique date.

Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl’s birthday is.

This means it has to be the only unique date in the month

So it has to be July 16

Same policy re if they hit the gte the 1k can be carried over?

Confirmed.

So if you already have a seat via PokerStars, assuming the guarantee is met you could use your first £1,100 ticket won via Party for 3x £330 shots at the UKIPT Cup (for example).

You can do this even if the tournament doesnt make guarantee.  The only way you would lose your seat by not playing it is it you hadnt entered the tournament at all.  If you play it because you won a seat elsewhere, you wont lose your DTD/Party ticket

^^^ This is how I thought it worked, but Glenn's previous post seemed to suggest otherwise.  Hoping this is right, as I'll play more of the sats over the weekend.

Not that it makes a difference in the overall scheme of things, but I've FYP, a few stacks were in the wrong days
