It's VERY hard to do much by way of reports & chip counts at the mo, the club is rammed, we can barely move between tables, & we have 5 laptops perched on a coffee table sharing 2 power points. Apologies, that's just how it is.
When it gets deep into Day 2, it'll be easy, of course. For now, it's something of a nightmare for all the Sky Poker crew.
I do keep trying to keep an eye on claire008, who is having a lovely day, & still going along nicely.
Eon1941 was going well last time I looked, too, but I can't easily access his table from my "work station" aka coffee table up in the Gods.

338 before today
500 flight 12pm
130 flight 4pm
968 total
with some unused tickets to add
so not too far away
the first flight, which i must say has been absolute bedlam to try, and fail, to cover has 291 left
101 are through before today and there are going to be a couple of hundred minimum of 200 through from today so maybe 300+ back for day 2
with the aim of playing to a final tomorrow. good luck us.
plenty of sky poker qualifiers playing today who have never played live before
wouldn't it be a story if we could get a couple to the final table?
they've learned quick though. in breaks
"i've got 95,000 and i had Ace-King under the gun and..."
after 10 years of doing this, my technique of nodding while listening but doing something else is well practiced!

will put chip counts up for the first flight in due course, then the second flight in the morning
Mick Fletcher from blackpool with KK
chris scholes with Aces
Osman Mstanglou with Aces
all 3 in pre flop, fletcher has 4 bet shoved from the blinds and got called in both spots, as you would
K-Q-9-7-5, fletcher knocks out mustanglou and virtually triples up
Gl to Sky guys heading into day 2, good to see various faces last night, old and new.
hope you enjoyed your day and well done to sky poker for giving so many players the chance to get there. .
I think I can put in a raise on Ric's post in that I got farcically lost in Nottingham, having come in on the 'wrong side' instead of from the M1. After crossing a lot of the city and asking various locals without success I found myself in a Mcdonalds and was by this time pleading with the staff for directions. The manageress was very nice and took pity on me and was saying 'the lads will all know where the casino is'. But then they went all coy and started making excuses - one guy even started claiming he was from Darby, never heard a group of lads go so quiet! Finally she asked some customers and came up with some good advice which was to head for B&Q.
Well I got there only to find myself in a very repititive loop between the B&Q shopping centre and the industrial estate where a lot of lorries park. All I can say is Nottingham has a lot of one way roads and being old skool I haven't embraced satnav...
By the time I rocked up about an hour and a half late I was pretty well stressed. Not really the start you want in your first live tournament.
But things got a lot better when I found out I was playing with MattPrawn and TimmyRaRa and they both made me feel very welcome. Mind you it didn't stop Matt from cracking my Aces by making his flush and Timmy beating me set on set in what was a defining hand for both of us
Next time I will buy a Satnav and get some live play practice in!
Seriously thanks Matt and Tim and GL Tim for Sunday!!!
All in all it was a very interesting experience.
