To sell, swap or stick.

I'd just swap a bit with people in your team.  If they aren't used to playing big buy ins you'll all be in the same boat anyway.  I wouldn't feel guilty about this at all.  If you see Ryan all, try and get 5% there!

Just have fun, and good luck, anybody can bink one of these. 

Hi Alan,

+1 to the above, really.

As long as you swap or sell @ par, it's up to you & them, they all pretty much know your abilities.

The hard-nosed might well say "what's the point?", but that would miss the point. Never underestimate the "vicarious" thing, folks like to be part of these things, & love a sweat if possible. Not that they'd get much of a sweat, like..... 

Good luck, win the lot for both the Stoke City fans on blonde. That's you & one other.

There are at least two others!  Me and KevB

Wow, I thought I was the only stoke fan around. GL GL. Watch Pottermouths Battlecry before you play the main event for inspiration, guaranteed final table then

Good call!   "I am Stoke"

If we get any more stokies on here, we will have to open a potters thread in the football section!

Go on, I dare you.

Please, though, a little humour. If we want serious, we can read the Liverpool thread. No joking matter, that.

Should really be named the Liver-hampton thread after this summers raiding of the south coast

swapping good for morale if your good pals.

winning and having 100% of yourself is also excellent for morale.

Busting out first hand and having someone you've swapped with go on to win also good for morale

stoke thread great idea!

Do it!

Do it!

I look forward to all the banter with competing Port Vale and Crewe threads already.  I am sure you'll be more excited than me at the possibility of a Railwaymen thread in particular.

Well, I best finish this thread off.

I played the Main. Really enjoyed it and got my stack up to about 150k on the 1st day. Had a bad last couple of levels but took 63k into day 2 plus 'bagged up' for the 1st time EVER.

Didnt last long on day two....got in good with AK v AJ but jack was the door card. That player is now going good on the FT, so good luck to him. a solid MTT player on Sky. Finished 134th/500 so happy with that.

Sorted a fun SnG out last night for the Sky regs. Big thanks to Rob and Simon at the club for their help setting it up. I was a couple of players short so I asked Sam Trickett to play (just after he bubbled the Main!!) He agreed, top man.

I only managed to swap 5% in the end. I had another 5 % if a player won his seat from the mini. He nearly did but finished just short in 55th.

The icing on the cake........is the player I swapped 5% with is also on the FT. So it will be a good result for me in the end! Happy days.

Cheers for all the replies on this thread.

swapping ftw, gl

Who are we cheering on with the 5%?  I have never spoken to Sam Trickett, but he does seem to get it.

I thought that was a GREAT thing him (& Ben Vinson) did. Sam had just busted the Main (he bubbled), then gets invited to sit down and play a tenner SNG with the lads. AND he played it in the right spirit.

Well done to Alan for asking Sam, too.

I'm guessing Neil Strike, aka Joesman?

Neil is a decent player, & quite a big punter, though not a "Fred" style punter.

Good luck to Neil & Alan.

The boy Andy Young ("chickenmelt" next door) is a stunningly good player, his name was all the buzz last night in the Club at how well he had played. Billericay lad.

I have played chickenmelt a few times.  Sure he is aggro enough to win it.  What does priority player mean?  I assume allinstevie must play a lot of cash, because I can't recall him at the MTT tables, or if I did maybe I assumed it wasn't the real allinstevie.

stevie plays as MIKEY802 on Sky
