GCBPT 2008

Hello everyone, my name’s Ollie and this is my first post, but hopefully one of many to come. I’m here as a poker fan and also as a representative of GalaCoral and I’ll be able to field any questions or queries you might have, particularly if they’re about the upcoming GCBPT.

I’ve been a big poker fan (and poker student) for two years now, so I hope to get chatting about some interesting hands and any poker tales I pick up from the upcoming Gala Tour (which I’ll be following closely).

I’ll actually be turning up to the festival events and, hopefully, having a go myself, so I hope to see some of you there. In fact, if you have any ideas about the type of content you’d like to see from the tour itself beyond bad beats, tricky hands and colourful characters, please let me know and I’ll try and get it posted on the forum.

Cheers,

Ollie

Yes, perhaps you can answer me one question, please.

Why do people insist on putting stupid clusters of letters in their thread titles, such as GCBPT, instead of putting what it actually means, so that we know what they're talking about?

The GC is pretty obvious, if you're a representative of Gala Coral, and I could probably take a guess that it's a British Poker Tour (or Tournament) - but I shouldn't have to guess.

My local Gala casino is having a Poker Magic Festival from 8th-16th March, and in their blurb they mention that the winner will receive GCBPT entry to Nottingham... amongst other things...

Fair enough! It's useful not to have to go through the whole title every time though - I'm a big fan of abbreviations...

You still didn't say what it stands for!

Gala Casinos British Poker Tour. Sorry, I'm an idiot!

Cheers,

Ollie

It is what used to be called the Great British Poker Tour. Try this link for more info:
