yep i'll be there... we are the future up north! i mean just look at our las vegas results!!! how many final tables did the infamous notts mob make???

to be honest if u do venture up north its unlikely that u'll pick up a result, u'll be facing such  high class field and well alot of local lunatics

i'll get the chips/clock etc and let u all no! i;ll just ring the fountain of knowledge james browning and get the details!

two ticks!

[riverdave]

Well it's a toss up between The Palm Beach or this for me and as i've never ventured this far north before i'm leaning towards this one. The chance to get in another deep stacked cash holdem game with At It Bradley also adds to the VALOOOO!!!

Can you post a couple of local hotels and At It can you sign me in?

Perhaps this is the wrong place for the following comments, but.

Tikay a snake in the grass for reporting deals being made??? No I don't think so. These things need reporting because players won't or don't do it themselves. But how about PIE. Who polices them and their rankings that are now sponsored. Not too long ago an Event had to be running the previous year to be called a Ranking Event. Then lo and behold along come 2 in the same month that no-one knew about being run never mind being a ranking event only a few short months ago.

No disrespect to the casino's involved but surely they cannot have ranking events yet. Surely criteria cannot be changed because the person in charge wants to change it. Surely the so called integrity of the rankings is now called into question after they accused players and card room managers of a certain lack of it. At the start of the year all the rankings events should be known. That way players who are interested in playing in ranking events, know where and when they are. New events should not be pushed in wherever they can at a months notice.

Now instead of having a week or two spare for a relaxing holiday, people will be forced (If they want ranking points) into playing at an unheard of( IN card room terms) venue, where they may have poorly experienced staff dealing and making mistakes. I'm not saying that nowhere makes mistakes. But surely new venues will make more, and as per usual the poor suffering poker player may have to pay the price for the mistake unlike the member of staff.

neb       jon shoreman FULLY answered your queries on poker-in europe ,as well as REFUTING the bung accusation some anon poster made.
surely ALL  live poker is to be embraced,as only a short while ago grosvenor and stanley closed cardrooms in this city/uk due to lack of foresight.


hopefully the full schedule will be confirmed tonite,inc levels, and will update all on wed.

any blondes confirmed to play??

[Karabiner]

Are house dealers supplied for all of the events ?

I seem to remember Tikay going up for the monthly 100 tourney which I believe was self-dealt.
