Worse than that, in fact. He supports The Baggies, the farcical WBA.

There is a bug with the re-buy tournaments, You can only rebuy once , when under the threshold, there after you can only rebuy when you have no chips.
The techies are working on this.

Well I don't know whether to laugh or cry... sara36dd08 58000 1 Entry to £25,000 SPT Final RAKE007 0 2 Entry to £25,000 SPT Final RICHORFORD 0 3 £198 So- a good result 3 out of 29. Cashing for £200. But it was on Sky's account and so it's there money now! And I bubbled on qualification! Congrats though to sara36dd and rake007. But a good starting point in my campaign. I'll give it another bash tomorrow night. Cheers for the support and railing everyone and see you tomorrow!

You cheeky little X%£^"*^£!

I won the Open you know! For a grand! And I also recently came second in a tournament called Take On Tikay. Although there wasn't much Tikay to take on after level 2!

RICHORFORD

Oh my word- I'm almost back up to the starting roll that Sky gave me to play with many moons ago...

Right- same again tonight. I'm doing the £5.20 rebuy at 7.35pm to try to win my seat to the Semi at 9.30pm. 

If I fail to qualify from the 7.35 then thanks to cashing last night I can buy into the semi and give that a crack instead.

See you all there I hope!

Kind of, Lewis. I was brought up in Bromsgrove, about 30 miles south of Brum.

Very well done Rich you've got some heart mate I will say that. To try and qualify through the sats yourself even though you have every chance of beng given a seat anyway was impressive enough I thought. Then to be the bubble and brush off the fact that you don't even get to keep the money as it was Sky's account and in the same breath say "I'll try again tomorrow" is some going mate. I think they should call you Mr SkyPoker lol, well done mate. JC EDIT: Also, I think you should get Sky to fund the difference and buy you in directly now mate, that's what I'd be asking for lol.

Cheers John. Well, everybody loves a trier- just ask Tikay, he finds me extremely trying...

OI!!!!!

Treading on very thin ice there, Gramps!

It takes a very strong mental attitude (or maybe we are just mental!) to be a Baggies fan!!!!!!

Lol Aaron- yes, unfortunately it was AFTER that incident.

I'm effectively down by my original pull-up now though. Next mission- to get it all back...for the company. Yes, that makes me slightly insane doesn't it?

RICHORFORD

OK- 15 runners in total and we're off!

Goooooooooooo Rich

RICHORFORD

Ty Baz. OK so tonight's £5.20 did not go according to plan- I lasted 2 and a half hours, and it's not often I can say that but finished 5 off the qualifying spots.

So next up- it's the 9.30 semi. I'm 'treating myself' to the £24 buy-in coz I won £200 yesterday so I can just about justify it.

May need to stick to the rebuys after this though...

RICHORFORD

Oooo, some big names in tonight's SPT semi!

Grab a seat while you can- could be a classic!

Nice raise wiv AJ off though Rich

RICHORFORD

Hmmm, finished 34th out of 50.

Not quite as good as last night's 3rd out of 29.

But hey, the numbers are going up for the SPT semis day by day!

As for me, I think I might have peaked on Day One...

Well Rich you went out about same time as Phil12.  He was on my table.  I was short stack on table and went down as low as 400 chips.  Double up and doubled up and doubled up........became chip leader.  I n lat 11 and had system crash , came back after about 5 mins, was 5th out of 7 and finished 7th.  Now have finished 12th out of 60 and 7th out of 50, like I think I have peaked.  Do we keep trying?

Yeah, I saw Phil finished just one place above me.

7th is a decent result mate. Keep going- you've got to get to Nottingham- it wouldn't be the same without you!

We'll get there, Gordon!

Right! Seconds out, Round 3!

It's my third night in a row of attempting to qualify for the SPT final.

Once again I'm starting with the £5.20 rebuy at 7.35pm and then buying into the 9.30 semi if I fail to satellite in.

Hope to see you all again this evening.

And if you haven't had a go yet at qualifying, what are you waiting for? It's a great poker weekend away where you make new friends and you'll be in with a chance of winning some serious dough!

Ty steve. I think you missed at least 4 'tries' off your sentence though!

RICHORFORD

So, my 4th final table in 5 tourneys- (let's just turn a blind eye to the fact that a couple of those tourneys only had about 10 runners, shall we?)

We're at the break- 6 players left. Top 3 go through to the 9.30 semi.

So effectively I'm playing a DYM for a chance to have a shot at Nottingham later tonight.

Rich whereabouts in Birmingham are you originally from?
