Tour Game Proves a Hit

Well the First Event of the Poker Tour went ahead as planned and was a fairly good success. We got 69 runners in the end which was exactly the number of players I had bet on with Paul Robo, he had gone for 64, so I'm looking forward to a nice bottle of red for that LOL


There is a report of the comp on this page HERE and thr tour itself with results and future events HERE
Getting all the names in and registering everyone went fairly smoothly but took a bit longer than i had planned for. So we didn't start till 8:10, not that anyone seemed bothered, but it did mean we didn't finish till almost 2:30am which was a bit late really. Get the signup sheet ready with names in alphabetical order next time should do the trick.
Enjoyed the night, people were asking why I wasn't playing, but to be honest wasn't too bothered. It did everything I had wanted and even got a bit of a clap for the little intro i did at the beginning and a fair few came over to say thanks. Didn't get any negative comments at all, which is quite an acheivement at a local game I think. Running the tourney once in play was fairly easy and once I know a few more names will be even easier. Had one guy who pulled a couple of strokes 1. betting all-in out of turn and 2. exposing his cards when facing an all-in, warned him on the first one and let the cards play, 2nd one was just a bit daft really as he only had J8 and was never calling so didn't bother making a judgement.
Anyway got 5 thru to the grand final and if we get similar numbers for the next one on FRI 10th July at the Ambrose 7pm start I will be able to increase and confirm the prizes..........more of that next time when I have worked it out properly.

As for my playing - nothing to report really as I have been too busy with work kids and life to play that much and what I have played online has been neither up or down. Do hope to get out next Saturday to B'pool G for the monthly £100 deepstack tho.

I'll leave you with a few more pics from the tour game, saty lucky guys !!
