Student Highrollers

[AdamM]

As I said in another thread, I've been on a 6 month break from live poker. when I last played at Nottingham there were a few new faces that were obviously University students. they were playing the £10 / £20 limited buy in games and the £30 rebuy.

I come back six months later and they're are making up half the numbers at a cash game in matching hoodies, sunglasses and huge headphones pulling up between £500 and £1000 each and reloading the same.

you can't tell me they are all playing off huge bankrolls earned at the tables. some student overdrafts / loans taking a hammering I think.

I know/knew several guys like that in scotland..you see most of them for a few weeks/months and then all of a sudden most of them are never heard of again. Fantastic.

I can't help but giggle when I see guys playing in hoodies. What DO they think they look like? Saw a grown-up wearing one at The Western on Tuesday, ffs!

LOL....you do get some interesting characters in there!

I think they organised a poker club owners meeting the other week (re the gutshot implications).....did you hear any gossip on their way forward Tikay??

Are you referring to the Gala casino in Nottingham Adam? It is quite funny the numbers there are and the money some of them seem to have, particularly two of the guys I have seen with thousands and one of them is most definitely at the university. One of them I spoke to apparently plays £10/£20 online. I myself play there and am a student but I don't often stretch past the £30 freezeout and I don't wear a hoodie, I do like the headphones tho..... You should not hear a student going "if I dont qualify for the Gala Poker Tour i'll just buy in".

 Makes you wonder what happens to the poor(literally) percentage who do dump their loans on it. Something I nearly managed to do after my first year of playing. Glad I had the sense to give myself a reality check and understand BR management. Going well now .

P>S, Always wore a hoodie in uni but that was because i did sports course so it was mas mandatory! Inone of my practical lectures, you could fail the year if you didnt turn up in the uni tracksuit!

Grandchav! I almost like that. Almost.

I thik every player should wear a chesercutter cap, or trilby, & wear woollen driving gloves. I could start a trend.

I wear hoodies quite often, nowt wrong with them. The only time the hood goes up is in really bad weather though.
