Nice one, what game? pkr?

Rotty · 6 Jul 2007 at 00:49

on DTD , so wagerlogic s/w , think most of the players were William Hill

i play poker stars a lot never enterd a comp figured it would be a quick way to loose money wheras playing for real money on a normal table seems to be a steady rate to earn it

well done btw

tourneys are more for the challenge, ring games are where the money is made

oh yes, sorry

not amazing but better than a kick in the nuts

£215.48 for winning and £70.42 in headhunter bonuses ( for knocking people out ) , so £285.90 total

I play a lot of "live games" but usually in pubs ( back room games ) , I do play at Gala in Nottm though

also play loads of poker when in Vegas

Europe's biggest poker room is opening soon near where I live so that should be good

If your good at it you'll go far. Even though a lot of it is to do with the cards you get but also your predictions and instincts.

He won a tournie which gave him the package there. However he is a very good player, and has beaten several professionals in the past. His prize money is in the £80000+ territory that I know about!

He did tell me how many players were registered, but I can't remember.
