Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Howdy Daveo It has indeed arrived (though it's still in the box as I am moving house soon). It's not bad actually. The folks at VC were surprisingly helpful - I got to pick my own TV up to £1000. So I spent about 3 days researching Plasma / LCD forums (those guys are strangely obsessed - not at all like us Poker forum types!) and TV reviews. Finally went for a 37" Sharp LCD number. Not 42" unfortunately, but still far too big for my front room! It was on sale with Amazon at 999.99 so I got as close as I could to the grand! Looks pretty nice in its box I must say! HBWonderful

Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Hi Spurman I've played in the £100 Saturday evening thing at the Gutshot (entry fee was a birthday present) and I've gotta say it wasn't all that tough. Lot's of good players there admittedly (with stories of big online wins and qualifications for events etc.) but not so frightening as I thought it would be. I usually play

Re: Inside Edge Freeroll, Thursday 2 March @ 8pm GMT Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. Is the code the same as last time?

Re: Gutshot - London - Info Required
I must be honest I found that article very interesting. There is a poker club in Manchester who are doing well' date=' and that had me wondering whether a club like that would work in Stoke, but I wouldn't even begin to look into it seriously until I knew the outcome of this court case.[/quote'] In Manchester? Where? Who? -
Re: Inside Edge Freeroll, Thursday 2 March @ 8pm GMT BTW does anyone know any details about what TV it is? I checked the Inside Edge site and there are no specifics, IE haven't been in touch yet, but some people at the table last night seemed to know the make and model. Cheers HBWonderful

Re: Inside Edge Freeroll, Thursday 2 March @ 8pm GMT Hi again all - thanks for the welcome ...and Dave, Well played to you too last night. I actually figured you were going to win it when we were down to 4 - you'd stolen my blinds enough! Thanks for the congrats though. Look forward to playing you again sometime. HBWonderful

Re: Gutshot - London - Info Required Hi Ksportz I've been down to the Gutshot on a Saturday night before (My 31st birthday). If you play in the £100 main-event (it's a freezout) dealers are supplied. It was a bit of a relief for me too, and mean't I could concentrate on the more relevant stuff, like being afraid of all the other players at my tables etc! Just kidding, It was good fun and I would definitely recommend it, it's such a great environment, full of Poker enthusiasts and a full bar and great burgers. (Though the gutshot looks a lot more ropey in real life than it looks on their website!)

Re: Inside Edge Freeroll, Thursday 2 March @ 8pm GMT Hi Morl Just wanted to say GG for earlier - I didn't get a chance after the game. I got a real rush of hands at the end, but you played incredibly to come back from that earlier chip count (so probably desreved the TV!) Thanks to all of you for recommending this site too. Just taking a look around now - seems outstanding, I can't believe I missed it. See you at the tables again soon I hope. Handsome B. Wonderful

Re: Virgin Poker League - Win a WSOP Seat - Starts 15th May! CORRECTION
Thought I'd be the first newbie to come out of the woodwork and fawn over the brilliance over this excellent deal and ask how I would go about "buttering up" those excellent people in admin in order to get the benefit of their discrestion! Please benefit me with your discretion! I am more than happy to wear a shirt with Virgin on it. (At the very least it might lure the young ladies of Vegas into a false sense of security - allowing me to lay down some of my patented "moves" :tongue2 ) Yours in hope Handsome B. Wonderful
