In Response to Re: viva las vegas : Just out of interest Reeler, why couldn't you use the package if you binked? Age? Work? No worries if you don't want to answer though If you're in the same spot again, you'd get the £1k into your account so don't play for 2nd and 200 quid Posted by hhyftrftdr

Hi reeler.
You'd be fine - I promise.
You just need a little practice playing "Live".
What part of the country do you reside? If we could organise it, be good to get you to come along to a B & M cardroom & help you get comfortable.
Being deaf must be terrible, don't get me wrong, but I've seen plenty of people with far, far worse problems doing well in Live poker.
I urge you to try & qualify for Viva Las Vegas. And if you do, I'll hook up with you before you go, & we'll go play some Live Poker somewhere.

There was once a guy who played the WSOP main event who had no arms, he played the whole game with his feet!! It was only a few years ago should be on YouTube somewhere, if he can play then anyone can. Good luck with getting to Vegas reeler.
