Luton Main Event - LIVE UPDATE, DAY ONE

[jammer]

Good luck little bro.

My words of advice, for what they are worth, from playing the event last year:

* There's a lotta play in these games, get comfy, get rid of the nerves and don't feel the need to do anything wild from the off. Its ok to loosen up early doors. so don't feel pressured. Sit back, and relax into it like you would normally.

* Your game is better than a lot of the people who'll be playing. Don't outthink yourself by being overawed. Its hardly gonna be much different to £300/£500 games.

*Make sure you grab a bit of food at the break to stock up on your energy - toast ain't gonna be enough sunshine Red bull never does any harm either later on to keep that concentration going.

* Play your normal game, and play strong especially once you get a few chips.

I'll keep my eye on the updates from here - at joelle's brother's in bristol at the mo. Everyone wishes you all best, so go bring a bit of glory for blonde

Fingers crossed for the snoop! I've got a damn good feeling about this one

Jamie.

More arrivals.....

Barny Boatman

Willie Tann

J P Kelly

Jen!

[tikay]

Kick-off time is scheduled for 7pm, but that looks optimistic at the mo. Sikngle Table Sats are still going, there are no chips or dealers, so maybe a little late starting.

And now The Camel has arrived!

[TightEnd]

Good luck to all the Blondes...looks like we have half the field!

Special best wishes to snoopy who I know would love to do well in this and Sheriff who when he learnt I couldn't play this for personal reasons promptly went and won a supersat seat himself....

[Djinn]

Evening all - I have yet to corner the Snoopy and wish him all the good luck you guys are pouring forth, but it will happen.

First stop was to the bar to get one of those Indeterminate Fish Platters so tikay keeps his energy up...  I think all this playing has softened him up a bit, so it's back to some proper work for the Updater Original

It's not as busy as you might think seeing as they're meant to be starting in 15 minutes, but there's a buzz around the satellite table at least.

New arrival - Tim Flanders
Mad Turk

[Djinn]

Just to clarify - all the noise that I thought was coming from the satellite table is actually a one-hand-turnover table for £50 a pop.  RED-DOG informed me that the original idea was to do it for seats, but it caught people's imagination (that special imagination which only gamblers seem to have) and now they're just doing it, "for fun.  And £500."

[Karabiner]

Hi Jen, you mean they do special meals for fish ?

[Djinn]

Yes, Karabiner.  They call it the tikay special.

And here being congratulated by a recently arrived El Blondie is Lalit Khajuria, the £750 champion and all round nice guy.

Kick-off time is scheduled for 7pm, but that looks optimistic at the mo. Sikngle Table Sats are still going, there are no chips or dealers, so maybe a little late starting.

And now The Camel has arrived!

The closed M1 Junction 10 is being blamed for the late start, but I just drove down it (albeit at the required 40mph) and it was OK.  Then again, I'm not one to talk about timeliness.  In fact, I'll just leave that one.

[tikay]

Hi snoops here.

Just leaving the house now.

What time does the comp start?
