I count four, Or is it a trick question?
Good post Rob, I thought info on the Jonny Texas 3k euro TV tournament was meant to be top secret
Good luck in Barca.
Those apple 30" monitors are loveerly.....
Jason
"info on the Event" is not secret, just the results.
And if you re-read Rob's Post, you will note he has not given any results......
PS - Thanks for the "nod" Tractor, phew!

Hi Rob,
If you ever need a promotional video, or any filmwork of any sort, I'd be glad to help for the variable cost of equipment/material expenses. I'm in my second year at Uni studying Film and TV Production.

20th May 2006......off 2 Barca

I'm very well prepared for Barcelona - we leave tomorrow, have no transport to the airport, I'm yet to pack, have no euros and still have a shxx load of paperwork on my desk. However, my heads-up game is rocking after some practice on the Blondpoker site and I reeled off 6 heads-up wins on the trot tonight. I've also found out that Chubbs gave me some mis-information about the draw and schedule to get me to go. Nick's coming aswell with for a few days, he changed his mind at the last minute when he saw that there were other comps on as well as the heads-up, which I don't think he's playing.
The online card room that DTD has signed up with made the whole deal conditional on getting the Gaming Licence on the 27th July, which was a nice little bit of small print in the contract. I guess I don't blame them, without the licence DTD is a few t-shirts, a diary and a half finished web site, and they have really broken their mould by going with a start-up venture like us, rather that their normal traditional large sportsbook clients.
Aces is snowed under with requests for interviews about DTD from the online and live press, but I've asked him to hold fire until we get the thumbs up from the magistrated court in July. We gonna look a bit stupid broadcasting this venture as the "first licenced poker only club in the UK" if we don't get past the final hurdle. Its not that I am not confident, to put our situation in poker terms, I would say we are holding AA or a 236 flop, and my opponent has A4...........but we all know there are 4 5's still left in the deck, and even runner runner 4 is a possibility. Playing poker teaches you that the virtually impossible can happen, and normally happens at the most crucial moment.
Everyone seems to want to get into the poker business. Every day there is a new magazine, a new site and a new venue to play live. Most of the casinos have plans to re-open their card rooms and you can watch poker round the clock on TV. Will it last........I think it actually will, for a simple few reasons:
1. Poker is addictive
2. Some players will go broke and out of the game for a while, but they'll come back
3. As more and more people start playing and encourage their friends to play
4. It doesn't really matter how old you are to play
5. You can play no matter what the weather is
6. Poker can suit all bankrolls
7. Everyone has a lottery dream of "landing the big one" to change their lives
.............however the above logical and rational reasons for opening a great big poker club in the UK and spending loads of dosh on it are yet to convince my Finance Director and Bank Manager.........I say, "you know it makes sense" (Delboy)
Time 4 bed. Cheers Rob

I am getting very worried about you.
Good luck with the hearing Rob, when are you going to want the prospective membership list? Are you going to sort out an online application before the hearing?

Rob - We'll be getting memberships BEFORE the hearing through our web site which will go live in next 2 weeks (yeh), so we can show magistrates that there is demand.
Flushy - You're right, heads-up a waste of time 4 u, but I'd back you in a 30 euro STT if you come out
