I have read the updates on the previous couple of GUKPT events and was interested. I then resolved to try and qualify, but didn't actually get around to it.
Well I read the Cardiff updates and the whole setup/prize structure sounds absolutely fantastic. It think, with airtime, by Season 2 this will really capture the publics imagination. Its probably a very good thing that Beppe has won Cardiff. He's someone that Joe Public can identify with from the telly.
Anyway, I digress. So I felt inspired tonight. I registered on Blue Square and phoned my local casino to make sure I'm down with the live qualification dates.
Entered my first satellite...and had the good fortune to qualify into the Fridays Super Sat.
I must say I have been quite impressed by the game speed and set up on Blue Square. Jeez I'm waxing lyrical now aren't I?

But what did strike me is this: Is it me or is the players standard on Blue Square alot lower than on Pokerstars?

Although I have a few accounts dotted around I have pretty much been playing exclusively on PStars for the last 6 months.
It just seemed alot easier winning that first leg (granted there were only 23 playing for 3 seats). The cash tables seem alot easier too??? Or is this me just having my lucky 'First day on a new site'

? (I seem to remember a few extra profitable days on my first day on new sites..)
Also - Do many people turn up to the live super satellites in the Grosvenors?
