One is good. If both Steve and I send ours, you'll have a scoop medium hi/lo buyin. Lovely structured affairs, you'll be right at home (literally, sat next to the coffee pot).

Thanks Adam, 1% BOOKED, thank you.

Bank TX preferred over 'Stars, if posssible please.

More on this (enboldened) in next Post......

Will finish at 9am?

1%  please Tony, can I send from Stars ?

Steve

ohhhhhhhhh  just remembered you are not a Stars user, so please let me have bank details.

Will do, Steve.

As it happens.......

I do have a 'Stars account, which had lain dormant since it became awkward for me to play there due to other commercial constraints, back in the day, around 2004 or 2005. (Sporting Bet, Wm Hill, blondepoker CardRoom & then Sky Poker). 

I re-activated it only last week, & played one of those $27 SCOOP Events, an Omaha thing. Was going along nicely, no re-entries & quite deep, (well, 1,000 or so from the cash in a 7,000 runner jobbie, lol), but then I played a hand really badly - missed a bet on the turn, & allowed my man to pick up a draw & eventually do a get, so that was that. Been kicking myself ever since, I just bottled the flop bet when a really co-ordinated flop landed. Been kicking myself ever since.

Some site now, too, jeez, though the lobby made my eyes bleed profusely.

Anyway, my point was, I shall play tonight's $27 SCOOP PLO8 thing. Rather looking forward to it, actually. I'll swerve the Medium though ($275?), that's a bit big for me, & presumably full of tidy players.

Anyway, yes, willl send Bank Details overnight or first thing on the morrow.

What, the Baby one?

Good Lord. Well I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Chance would be a fine thing.

Afternoon Tikay.

As said before, defo in for some % in the staking plan this year again please.

I do get confused with it all, so can you just let me know how much 1% would be in Sterling Pound notes.....or a rough figure how much £50 - £75 would cover.

I will bank transfer the amount when known. Same bank deets as I have from last year?

I so hope you find time to put a courtesy wake up call into Jeeves.......that is so much fun to read when stuck at work.

Lastly......best of luck!! Enjoy the 'break'  

Hi Alan,

Well the schedule is Provisional, but if we assumed worst case of $11,000, then 1% = $110, which equates to £65.52 @ today's rate.

That OK for you? You can have a little less if you prefer, MereSpready will be able to apportion everyone accordingly, I assume.

[tikay]

I'll take 3%. Bank transfer of cash in Vegas. Actually I'll take a look at what I'm playing and prob just do a swap? Will PM you.

3% BOOKED, thanks Ryan.

Will await PM. PLease copy MereNovice into the PM, so he knows what I'm doing, as I don't......

[tikay]

In for £50 please Tikay.

Thanks Mr Larson, £50 of my finest BOOKED.

Will send Bank Details in the morning.

[tikay]

3% if I may, pls&ty.

Thanks Mr G, 3% BOOKED.

It's funny how poker theory swings back and forth. Fifteen years ago(?), the likes of Gary Jones (IIRC) were advocating the 2.2x opens. Ten years ago, Chris Ferguson came out with "If it's good enough to call, it's good enough to raise".

We'll all be folding queens to a three bet soon.

we do1111

BOOKED.

Oh, wait......

CANCELLED.

[tikay]

I'll give you a spin for $50 met.

Ooh, street-cred itt. $50 worth sold to shit just got real man.

BOOKED

met, shizzle, bro, & those sort of things.

[tikay]

Oooh, was thinking this was ages away, but just 11 days.  Going to miss it.  Was hoping to play the big plo8 on Stars tonight.  So after looking forward to it for an age I discovered yesterday that the 2 days in the title was a typo.  Playing poker til 11am just isn't possible for me, so you better bring something home to compensate.

Let me know which you prefer 5 of everything or about $500/£300 worth of the big ones.  I guess you'd prefer the latter to reduce variance.  Really is up to you.

Entirely up to you, David, you decide.

By "Big" I guess that'd be.....

Venetian, 3 @ $600

WSOP, 1 x $1,000, 2 x $1,500 & 1 x $3,000

So those come to $8,800. Are those the ones you mean?

Let me know which way you prefer to go.

For now, approx $500 (£300) worth BOOKED

Thanks.

[RedFox]

Hi TK Ill have 1% if any still left please.

[tikay]

Happy to take 5% if poss

Will go along with Doobs if it helps......Let me know which you prefer 5 of everything or about $500/£300 worth of the big ones.  I guess you'd prefer the latter to reduce variance.  Really is up to you.

Thanks Trev, yes, see my reply to Doobs, up to you.

For now, £300 ($500) BOOKED pending details.

Your missus spent that £89,000 yet?

[tikay]

Yes happy to take upto 5% depending how many people you want on board. Just tell me how much and if it's the same deets as last year.

5% BOOKED, thanks Mantis. Same deets as last year, yes.

Just realised, I've been with the same bank since 1978, lol.

[ForthThistle]

Would you even allow a 0.5%?

[tikay]

Hi TK Ill have 1% if any still left please.

Malcolm!

Congrats on that 2nd in Sunday's Omaha @ DTD, how much fun was that?

I have become so excited by playing Omaha, that I trooped up to London on Tuesday, to the Hippodrome, as they have a weekly £110 Omaha, & they were ADDING a £275 "Omaha Series" seat for the winner.

TWO players Registered, I sat there like a lemon for an hour hoping more might reg, then I gave up & came home. Bugger.

Anyway, yes, 1% BOOKED, thank you.
