SpurMan Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 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 Thanks for that HB. Not the quality of the players that concerns me with the £100. Fact is I just don't want to spend £100. Save that for Vegas!. As for the £5 rebuy, even though they said unlimited rebuys, they only allowed 2 last time I played it (on a Friday admittedly), so you buy your £15 and thats it done, so more like a regular £15 freezeout than a proper rebuy, with the opportunity to buy in for less if you are feeling brave or lucky, strapped for cash or all 3. Enjoy that telly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelskired Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 There is a £5 rebuy on the 25th at 2 (I ain't going anywhere near the £100 tourney in the evening!)' date=' or a couple of freezeouts on the 26th (one £20 at 2, one £30 at 8, though I think the 2pm sounds better on a Sunday)[/quote'] Isn't the Birmingham PL game on the 25th?? Or is it cancelled or you not going? Will be up for London if Brum is not happening :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seeing if some of the southern gang from the Maxim tourney fancied getting in some (cheap) live practice, and meet up before the final.

Don't want the numbers out of control!!! Will do that when I get home to those somewhere in the vicinity of our Capital city. 'PL invades and takes over the Gutshot' probably would not go down too well with them. £60 at Grovesnor. Hmm interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerBarney Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Man. I didn't get anything. Literally.. nothing. Two hands worth playing, the first one I raised and missed with several callers leaving me with 2xBB, and then all in on Q,10h which wasn't good enough. Disappointing, but at least it means I can go out and start drinking now! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc40 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Out in 24th place tonight. My last 2 hands were: All-in on 10c10s, loses to JcJh, on a club flush (J kicker) of all things. He had less chips, so I was still in, but short stacked... :( Next hand all-in on QhQd, loses to Dotsers 3h3c, when the river brings another 3! :cry Hope those chips help you get to the final table Dot. :ok Good points, but I still haven't made the final table on a Monday and won a 'real' prize, and only 2 chances left... :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
