Anybody Going to Watch? Play in any SNG's?
Was just wondering if anybody is going to rail, due to bankroll constraints and working away during the points SNG's I was unable to qualify and may come along to watch as it is fairly local, anybody else coming just for the atmosphere?

Registration before 2pm...
I just pre-registered online (to hopefully save time at the G Casino) and the email I received says I need to complete in person, with valid ID, but their reg desk is only open from 2pm until 6am. Obviously that would be a problem for those turning up in the morning! I called them and they - albeit rather vaguely (didn't…

NOT THIS WAY
My quest to win a seat has been well documented on the forum and i've tried my heart out to win a seat and come and play live with the big boys (and girls). In one of the seminal hands last night a player folded when i committed my last 420 chips to a 3k pot, it turns out, with a hand he should not have folded, i do not…

Manchester traffic
I was up in Deansgate last night and the city traffic was an absolute 'mare due to them digging up a large length of that road. Also there is a Manchester City home game on the 7th (but not Utd) .... I guess not everyone's route will take in those areas but just saying incase any of you want to factor it in to your journey…

Seat for Ski?
Skicowboys has still not made a seat after trying 14 Semi finals at £24 a pop and over 10 £5.20 quarter finals... However, this is not through lack of trying, or lack of poker skill. Skicowboys is a great player and has been with Sky for a long time. He used to be up the top of the MTT league all the time... He has just…

TV coverage
Well everyone keeps asking me when the SPT Manc stuff is being shown on tv. Are there any details yet of when it might be shown?

Is it the software
I have not played poker on line for long . But early on I noticed something strange happening when players go allin. I have noticed it on full tilt and poker stars and here infact everytime I play on line it happens. If a player goes allin and he is called by 1 or more players if he has the weakest hand and there are cards…
