Hi Grimlock - well played - and Mr Mbro as well.

I've only played once live. At a work's charity event at the Empire and it wasn't really a proper tournament as the structure was a bit naff, so I'm a newbie to live poker too.

I only live 10 miles away but will probably just book a room at the premier inn, manchester victoria/MEN. Think the G Casino is on the salford side of manchester - postcode M8

Hi Guys
Ive been to most of these.
Why dont we meet at the bar about 12.30 on the Saturday.
I'll introduce you to a few of the regulars.
I would advise you go to the G casinos web site to pre register, believe me it WILL save time.
All you need to take is some pictoral identification(driving license, passport) on the day. DONT FORGET IT.

Wow, we are up & running!

Well done all those who qualified.

See you in Manchester!

BigBluster

I'll be there. It's nice to have 1 in the North West and it would also be nice to meet some of the skypoker regulars.

SPT

Well done all, looking forward to meeting you all in Manchester

Will be putting out a player briefing in good time before the event covering times, ID requirements etc

Next week's job: hotel deals..will publish when arranged!

Grimlock

12.30 at the bar it is!

Again thanks for the advice.

NoseyBonk

I won't be playing in this but I am going to pop along to meet my fellow Sky Pokerers, have a beer & take in the atmos. Nearer the time we'll have to make firm plans for a meety type thingy, maybe PM some phone numbers etc.

Hi Guys,

I know most of you by Alias only - so if you come to Manchester, either as a Player or a Railer, please do come & introduce yourself.

See you there.

 I think i'm going to go up Friday late afternoon... Get some food etc etc.. see if they have a tourney on, and play that. Taking the mrs with me I think... going to have a look for hotels now

Dean90

Okay, i've got my hotel booked now, but only for the saturday. I should make it into manchester by about 11am on the day, to give me a chance to know where to go. Will the tourney have a 2pm start? I need to know because i cant book into the hotel i'm at until 1pm.

 Yes i believe so.. All last yr was 2pm start and i think i saw somewhere its 2pm again.. What hotel did you go for? Im thinking good old travel lodge, normalyl a safe bet.. but 1 mile away might be the difference between walking and taxi

It's called the Westlynne hotel, and it's roughly a mile away from the casino. Its had some decent reviews and it's only £35 a night, so i thought i'd go for it.

repton3

See you all there!!!!  £5.20 -> £110 tournament entry.  Cannot tell you how happy I am!!  Won a sat earlier today and then sneaked in just now in the semi (with a very lucky 8 on the river giving me a full house).  There is a strong possibility I will implode with excitement!

darich

well played repton - congratulations - see you in Manchester

JAEGERBOMB

looking forward to seeing you all there now that I've qualified.good luck to you all


Just hope i'm not stuck out in the north sea working

Pears_27

If at first you don't succeed... come back from 190 chips to qualify as chip leader.

Off to book a skanky hotel. GL all.

FlutNush

Blimey, looks like I've just done it too. An excellent tournament tonight, with some really good play. 

 

Look forward to seeing you all there... How about pushing the boat out and staying at the Malmaison? Anyone?

 

First round is on me*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Conditions apply.

Pears_27

I like the Malmaison in Manc. It's like a Parisian brothel but more seedy.

* Hope the conditions include bursting the bubble so the short stacks can qualify?
