calculus Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 First post in the poker forum so please be gentle :$. Basically today I won a prize package for the above event... I'm a bit unsure of whether to go or not as I've never ever played in a live game before and hardly played a lot on the internet... Any information or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: GSOP Live Seville :welcome to the poker forums, we dont bite so dont worry lol Well done on winning a package to the event, the GSOP are great events and you can win a lot of money in them. Their not the easiest tho and I would advise that if you were to play in Seville, that you: a) brush up on your spanish, as the players will be allowed to speak either English or Spanish, so learn key words poker wise. b) play a bit more live poker (if you dont already) to get you up to speed and not looking like a rookie etc c) if you dont want to play or cannot for any reason, check out now wether or not you can either exchange your package for cash, or sell it on, or give it away for a profit share. Most of all, if you do decide to play, enjoy yourself!:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: GSOP Live Seville Thanks dude... I won a ticket for an online final months ago and forgot about it, then I used it a couple of nights ago and got to the last table from 100-odd players, this got me another ticket for an online final which I won tonight - so I can't be that bad! But I have literally only been playing online for like 6 months and am not particularly ou-fait with all the terminology and have concerns that I would get found out in a live game... I'm pretty much fluent in Spanish so that's not much of a problem, explaining the whole shabang to the missus could be a bit tricky though :loon... Sent an e-mail to betfair enquiring about whether the ticket is transferable of exchangable for cash, but I doubt it is! Anyway, thanks for the advice... Going to sleep on it now and see how I feel in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMatrix Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Re: GSOP Live Seville I played GSOP Riga last year and I actually bought a package (buyin and hotel - he kept the expenses) from a Canadian who couldn't make it. Lost a coinflip around the bubble so just missed out on cashing in the live thing. They are great events though and well organised and all the players are friendly. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgull69 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Re: GSOP Live Seville Calculus, I am playing this event too. I was fortunate enough to win a package in the "Sports Giveaway" promotion that Betfair ran late last year. Would be great to meet a fellow formite (although I'm a newbie) for a beer (San Miguel) etc. Send me a PM if it tickles your fancy.

cgull69 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Re: GSOP Live Seville Well made it through day 1. 190 started the day, 112 still in. Has been a bit of a rollercaster, ended up just under starting stack. I keep calling short stacks all ins with premium hands and getting outdrawn.

calculus Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Re: GSOP Live Seville Busted after about 6 hours on the first day, had quite a tough table to start with two super aggressive types behind me, so was forced into playing tighter than I like... Still had a great time and met some top people... Hope your friend does the job Sean and if you ever fancy a game of Chinese again Im your man! :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasar Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Re: GSOP Live Seville Kevin (cgulls friend) is now HU and guaranted 58,000 euros. Come on Kevin, wishing you the very best of luck to TID x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgull69 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Re: GSOP Live Seville He finished second, but no shame in that the guy that won has a WSOP bracelet to his name. And yes will look forward to another game of Chinese, but go gentle on me next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Re: GSOP Live Seville You must be pleased with 45% of 58K, was always going to be a difficult task up against such a clear chip leader; congratulations :dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
