    The legs should be 1 in SE England, 1 in SW England, 1 in NE England, 1 in NW England, 1 in Wales, 1 in Scotland and the final in the midlands - DTD in Nottingham would fit the bill.

    I don't recall a leg in NW England last time. With the huge population centres we have here (Liverpool, Manchester), there would be no problem filling a venue.

    i was just flicking through the forums when i noticed that flashflush seemed to be suggesting that anybody with no live experience shouldnt play £50+ buy in tournaments.just because someone has no live experience that shouldnt bar them from playing any tournament they like.im sure that there must be first timers that play in the wsop and make mistakes.you only get live experience from playing live.i was just saying that if someone makes a mistake its not the end of the world and if told sure they wont make the same mistake again,

    Thank you.

    I know the Post to which you refer now - Page 1 of this Thread.

    It was just a sensible note of caution, suggesting that, as most of those who played last year's SPUKT had never played Live before, that some tuition would be useful/helpful.

    In fact, we had a little MasterClass at each SPUKT Venue before the Tourney commenced, to help solve this very problem.

     Sorry if you took my comment the wrong way...

     What i ment by this is if you stick to your bankroll management LIVE aswell as online then that means you would need to of set aside a MINIMUM of £500 ... therefore i very much doubt a newcomer has done that.
     
     Im not saying newcomers shouldnt play them at all, but need to be approached with caution, and should gain some experience before playing (although there is short master calsses at the events

    For the next tour can we please include Bristol again. The Gala is a very good poker venue with a large modern poker room. Bristol is a good location for everyone as it is on M4 and M5. Also i live there. Ed

    yeah aspers gets a lot more players than grosvenor down here, if there is one this year will definitely play

    No doubt about that Kev, they would. So would any Venue.

    But The Empire fails on most criteria for a SPUKT Venue. The players were in NINE different areas on two floors yesterday & Saturday. We would not dream of running a SPUKT on that basis.

    In addition, local Hotels cost a fortune, as does Car Parking in the very centre of the West End, & late night Taxis are a nightmare to get hold of.

    It's a very fine venue, but it just does not "fit" the Sky Poker requirements I'm afraid.

    Hey Benny, went down to Bournemouth Gala Sat night they still do cash games -25/50p  50p/£1  so going to be giving them a shot soon. Seems like ok atmosphere.

    How about like the highly successful London Poker Circuit, we hire out some massive hotels and do it all in conference room. Oh no bad idea ;)

    Tony  ........when we were   kid's, we were always asking   mum and dad, "
    "can we go to the park at the weekend" ?  ,   the thing was my dad would always say the same thing ..
     
    "Oh, it depends , you ll have to wait and see"!  

    So come the weekend, when we asked again, he would say,
    'Oh No, sorry something has come up, not this time maybe next week' .. So you see in the end we gave up asking and found ourselves something else to do,
     
     So when my kids used to ask me the same question, It would be either a
    'Yes' we are going, or 'No' we cant, and give them a reason !  
    I tell you they were just as happy  with a 'No as a 'Yes'  !!
    at least they  were happy knowing one way  or the  other, rather than waiting all week thinking they might be going only to find they were  not  !!  

     Just a thought !  :))

    Cool well keep in touch on here and if you do ever move back to Poole we can meet up at Gala. I don't think we will get the SKUPT here though :(  I thought there was plans to build new super casino near the Pavilion but looks like they are shelved. Got to admit in the old days I would have been against that, now I am all for it lol!

    Lol, I well recall when we used to say to Mum & Dad, on seaside trips,  - "how long before we get there?". The answer was always the same - "soon"....... 

    I'm a victim of my own honesty here. I dont like - in fact I hate - to see questions go unanswered, it seems the height of ill-manners to me, But it's not my place, or role, to "officially" comment on such things. So I try & tread a fine line, & just ask for people to be patient.

    I've answered similar questions a score of times,. I don't know what else I can do, or say.

    It's really not that simple, especially in an orgsanisation as big & departmentalised as Sky Poker, to get things such as SPUKT set up.

    Dealing with the Venues is also a nightmare. Sky Poker won't just go anywhere, it has to tick all the boxes, be "just so", & financially do-able.

    I can say an awful lot of time has been spent on it recently - 6 or 7 Meetings to my certain knowledge, several of which I sat in.

    So, the answer remains as before.

    "Soooooooooon".......
