I think they're trying to save you bashing your head against a brick wall  

One thing to learn about a forum - YOU WILL NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE... at some point you just have to make a decision.

If you put on a tourny for Blondeites I'd love to be there - if I can't afford it, so be it & I'll still appreciate you putting in the effort for Blonde Poker. So in short - you've seen the feedback - decide what you're doing and go with it - there can be other tourneys for the people it doesn't suit in the future.

PS - If it can be held somewhere else so the casino employees can play - all the better.

When I was just starting out in poker I used to play at the Grosvenor Reading in £5 tournaments.

They ran a poker league for about a month where the winner won a weekend in Paris and entry for a £500 comp at the Aviation. The next 4 in the league won the trip + entry for a £50 comp on the Sunday night. I tried my bollocks off but fell just short and came 3rd. Right then I decided I was going to play the £500 anyway despite the fact I had never played higher than £100 and I really couldn't afford it. I had a month to win the entry money!

I played my best ever poker that month with the goal of playing the big tournament and eventually won enough to play. I was hopelessly outclassed in the Paris event, but the experience did me no end of good as a poker player.

Setting yourself goals and playing outside your comfort level are all part and parcel of your evolution as a poker player IMO.

I just do not accept that someone who can afford a £30 tournament can't save up or win enough to play a £100 event. If it is alot of money to you, the sense of achievement of actually playing will be great.

I think the event should either be a £0 event with a huge cup to the winner and endless bragging rights (and if dik9 can persuade his boss to throw in a few extra prizes all the better!) so noone is excluded or a £100 event where there is a real sense of achhieving something significant if you win it.

A £30 tournament falls between both stools I think.

I would make a decision and a date, but Mr DC was in the Broadway last night with the Big Wigs, and I don't know what was discussed!

the matter is in hand dik

These are my sentiments as well. But as I said I am not playing.
