very nice work mel - was it a single table jobbie me wonders, hehe...

[tikay]

Congrats Mel - delighted for you!

Methinks I had better have a bash at qualifying on Stars. I have about 110,000 FPP Points, so maybe they do a FPP Qualifuier that I could have a bash in.

It would be wonderful to get to Monte Carlo & hook up with you guys (& gals) again, so I had better see what I can do!

110,000 FPP points, wow, i thought i was doing ok when i got to 20,000! The good thing is that the store now has some half decent clothes in there and about 10 new books.
I think it is about time that they let you use FPP points to buy directly into tourney's now.

don't want to be accused of spam but there are two seats gtd on betfair and they were short of covering the pool for the first two seats - probably the best value available if you're going to try. the camel almost won through on Tuesday

[tikay]

Thanks ruru, may give that a try.

[ariston]

Will vouch for the value, I finished 12th and keith got 4th. Hope to see some of you in there this week (especially Tikay). Think they are running 2 sats this week and there is no way they will have enough players to cover the package costs.

[tikay]

And when are these sats Russ?

[ariston]

Think there are 2 next weekend (sunday?). One is BF only the other one is for all crypto sites. Not sure of exact day/time but have keep your eye on it. A festival without a thew top 3 finish? where can I get money on him for the main event??

But what price tikay being deep-stacked at some stage, eh Russ?

And for those that were not there, they had a rule in the Main Event at Deauville that when you moved tables, you were not allowed - on pain of disqualification - to carry your chips in your hand, you HAD to use a chip tray.

So I had the embarrassment of putting all my chips - that's BOTH of 'em - in this bloody great tray, walking to my new table, & putting this almost empty tray on the table. And at that precise moment, Bob Coombes arrived at the new table as well - he had 4 (FOUR) chip trays brim full. So he had more chip TRAYS than I had CHIPS.....Jeez, this game can humble you, eh?

The Betfair satellite has two gtd seats at 6pm on sunday the 6th. cryptologic have another one at 9pm but there are no guaranteed seats. betfair will only get about 35 of the 56 players they need to cover the two seats. i might see you in the 25 mtt sats some night this week

[RobS]

The first Monte Carlo satellite last week Betfair got 47 of the 56 runners they needed to cover the guarantee. No doubt this number would have been significantly lower if it hadn't been mentioned on another forum and blog. I would expect a similar number on Sunday.

[Milkybarkid]

Who was it that mentioned it on their blog? 

[RobS]

Oh, I forget now. Hopefully it won't happen again though!! 

[Ruru]

Haha, incredible that a poker player should try to be helpful - don't they know that all poker players should be mean, surly and full of spite???
