Bolton GPT: Day 1 - Interactive

[badhaircut]

played 200 last night.  Had 42k chips last 40 2.5 times averages and unsurprisingly blew up and lost in 30 mins from there.  cracked aa with kq in 3 way pot early for 37k but lost 2 flippaments. then lost aq v aq where i was four flushed and then donked of 21 k to Lawrence gosney.  Hope today goes better:) sadly tourney was run horribly was very disappointing for a 220 pounds tournament.  with all the best dealers from around country and tourney directors who announce blind changes and dont leave only 10 100 chips at 400/ 800 blinds 9was a ridiculously frustrating bad luck to all the people who im playing against hehehehheh good luck all hope it is massive success

In the posh McDonalds just near the casino to make a quick post. Looking forward to the tourney, am hoping to see gregior and trippyhippy in the flesh as I see them a lot online. Best of luck to my good friend Dafydd, Dan Carter, poker.co.uk Matt, James Dempsey, JP and Mickey Wernick. Lets hope I draw a seat on the featured table if there is gonna be one as I have heard.

Woooooooooohoooooooooooooo 

After fiddling around for half an hour like a monkey with a broken typewriter, I eventually worked out that a password was required (although I was earlier told I didn't need one, doh!).... and then, PRESTO! I'm ON! PHEW!!!

So, howdy do dah folks and folkettes and welcome to the inagural event in the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour.

I'm here at the Grosvenor Bolton and fully braced to send a flurry of updates your way.

A LOT of buzz about this one, even a few nerves perhaps from those downing a slice of last minute Dutch courage.

A few familiar names already spotted....

Dewi
JP Kelly
Joe Grech
Paul Parker
James 'MC' Atkin (oops, I've outed him!  )
Carlo Citrone
tikay
James 'Flushy' Dempsey
Matt Tyler
Burnley John
Mickey Wernick
Paul 'Fatmarra' Moss
Greek Jack
Andrew Bradshaw

More to come, I'll see if I can get hold a player list.

Before I nip back down (it's a bit of a treck I'm afraid), have a gander at some of these piccies from the bar.

There's a caption contest here somewhere...

Feel free to take a swipe.

[snoopy1239]

Mr Kelly's not too keen on having his piccy snapped, but we shoved him in anyhow, which probably explains why he's sandwiched in the middle.

Dewi at the bar, now there's a shock!!

Dewi in Bar Prop shocker !

Have a good one Snoops - pass on my regards and good luck words to Dewi and Flushy.

[snoopy1239]

And you might have spotted him at the bar (of course!) in the first one, but here's a proper one of everyone's favourite Donald's nephew... Dewi 

Plenty of support for the Dewster today, so I'll be keeping a close eye on him.

Can't help but crack up when I see his expression in this photo. 

[snoopy1239]

Hmm, Flushy's the only one in all three!

 

[ifm]

Can you pass on my good luck to Mick McCool please

[snoopy1239]

I've already passed on the good luck messages to Dewi and let him know that the forum's behind him.

He looks a bit edgy, which probably explains why he's at the bar. He came 11th in a £750er once, but this is a BIG one for him, so he has every right to be a little apprehensive. I'm sure he'll be fine though.

Amusingly, he was complaining about coming 9th because he had to make a 5 hour journey back for Day 2, only to return with nowt.

According to Dewi, it's a nightmare living in the middle of nowhere (ie, Wales). Apparantly, his closest is Dublin (if he cuts across the sea that is). There's can't be too many poker players who's local is in a different country!

I would provide a link to the registration page, but to do that I need to post, and to post I need to be a member, but to get the registration page you need to be a guest. ARGH! Too confusing! My head is going to explode.
