Its a busy month....also PSOP is on in London/The International, this weekend (£1000 buy in with £10,000 added), and some pros have gone/are going to the WPT in Cyprus this weekend.

[GreekStein]

Grease the WPT Cyprus.

We haven't had a sponsor since Minted Poker pulled out in May. We also have a commitment to the DTD £300, which is sponsored by DTD, and where Kev is going for tomorrow

Since Minted pulled out I've done Manchester, Newcastle and half of Luton on a voluntary basis but am not available this weekend for us to go double on the live updates.

We're really keen to do the GUKPTs (and other non DTD events) but sadly there's a limit to what we can do financially, or indeed with one person going solo at them, unless we get a sponsor or higher revenues. They ain't cheap when you factor in travel, hotels, updater payment etc

Ahhh, I seem to vaguely remember about Minted pulling out.

Would have been fun to get a couple of the locals to a mini update. I'm thinking dewi with the camera & sofa-king with words....

True, but only if they'd do it for free.

The point is valid though, we'll have to be creative on updates until we get funding/money.

[celtic]

You could charge as much as you like if dewi had the camera and sofa did the updating imo.

Does Karl ever not make it deep, lol

Does Karl ever not make it deep, lol
