One for the British, sorry rest of the world

Pokertron3000 · Aug 2, 2008

You guys have probally seen this but im posting anyway,

On pokerstars if you go on regional in the tourny tab there are a freeroll, 10 fpp 1$ and 5$ sattys to a final to win a seat to the EPT London leg.

I nearly got through on the dollar game but just missed out, anyone else playing these?

KerouacsDog · Aug 2, 2008

MM, I got the email from them, it's quite a long promotion(i think), reckon someone from CC(and the UK) should hopefully win an entry, how many played in the $1 game you played?
Im thinking I might try the freerolls, and 10 fpp first.

just had a look at these in the lobby, they run every day till the 28th of september, ample time to win an entry!

In the dollar tourney, 200 odd with 50 odd places getting throught to the final, this is probally the best chance to get in the weekly final, I would say after trying a fpp and freeroll too.

I just saw Vicky Coren on the promo pic and forgot to read the rest lol

I will be looking into these though :top:

KerouacsDog · Aug 2, 2008

^she's hot, and a good player

eek: ) as well, yeah, her pic was the first thing I noticed as well.

MM, 200 players, for the $1, sounds pretty good to me, will try the fpp/freerolls first, for a while anyway

Hynes1986 · Aug 2, 2008

Ewww , Vicky coren is fuggly, ever since I saw her at that EPT final table where she wouldn't shut up and kept announcing her thoughts to everybody "we'll I think you have this.. but if you don't i should call... but if you have this i think im in trouble .... blah blah blah blah.. shes such a TV time whore... I guess by british standards shes ok..............lol jkjk

lizasback · Aug 2, 2008

I'm guessing a US player can't get into these. Sad I would love to visit the UK.

so you have to brittish topplay in this? the brittish can play in american poker events, why can't we play in theirs?

Wow we got a whole 13 post before a complaint

.

Well technically Pokerstars in on British soil being on Isle of Man (which I guess is for tax reasons) despite that though is one tourney, surely you cannot begrudge a few of us brits getting a crack at a tourney in London?

There are plenty of chances elsewhere for you if ya look around.

Gl to you.

Pokertron3000 · Aug 5, 2008

Only problem with that is U probably wont be allowed to play there anymore if U work for them as I know many sites operate that rule

Ive been there twice, as my family all race vintage motorcycles, my grandad owned the 1923 lap record holding motorbike till he died, now my mum has it, photo is here: and nice biography of my mum and stepdad! MotoBlogCycle: Supergran's half century in racing

thats fine, getting paid to work for them sounds a blast........lol it wouldnt be a for a long time anyway!

Pokertron3000 · Aug 5, 2008

Thats just all kinds of cool KD, you must love going home all the bikes and stuff.

North_Bank · Aug 5, 2008

I qualified last week for the final, finished second in the dollar tourney. Lost a big pot in the final and finished a bit off the money, but you have to go for a big finish in the final, for such a prize just going for the first money is a bit silly.

Pokertron3000 · Aug 5, 2008

Im playing the dollar one now 39 of 68 right now, 45 get a final ticket.

yeah, the smell of nitro-fuel(cant remember the real name, but it's high power 'rocket' fuel as opposed to petrol) when I visit is great.
MM, I actually lived with my nan and grandad for 5 years from the age of 2 to 7 years old, every weekend we'd go to race meetings, silverstone, brands, oulton park, donnington, prescott etc, and Id be 'pit crew' such a fantastic time, but to me at 6-7 years old I just thought it was normal, had my first mini motorbike when I was 7 years old! Happy memories........
