The last train to the SPT Grand Final.......

edited September 2012 in Poker Chat

....will be leaving on Thursday night, as follows.

The "usual" nightly Quarter-Final (£16) moves forward from 9.30pm to 8.30pm TONIGHT (Tuesday) & tomorrow (Wednesday). £16 to enter, 1 in 5 get a seat to Thursday's Semi-Final, (£72) where 1 in 5 will win an SPT Seat.

Micro Sats will run as usual, except they will run an hour earlier than usual, to accommodate the earlier Quarter Final.

Good luck if you play any of these.

    Good luck all and is it too early for me to leave Fife for Notts yet lol I find it amazing that even at my young age of 40ish I can get so excited like a kid when it comes to going to the SPT after my first one at Blackpool the only problem is its only Tuesday and by the time Saturday comes I will be over excited so dont feed me sugar anyone lol

    Fife? Good grief, that's some journey!

    Fife, where St Andrews Golf Course is. Ooohhh.....

    Do make sure we get chance to have a chat this weekend, please. I was not at SPT Blackpool, but it'd be good to meet you.

    Safe journey.

    I played The Old Course, but I was "pretty hopeless" & very nervous, & I said to Mr Starter "I'm scared I'll make a fool of myself, & knock it out of bounds on the first".

    I mean, the Fairway to the first @ St Andrews (Old Course) is about 300 yards wide, but I am pretty hopeless.

    He said "don't worry Sir, nobody knocks it OOB on the first here, it is far too wide".

    He was wrong.

    I used three complete sleeves (nine balls) of Pro V1's when I played St Andrews.

    Just as well I played well that day.

    Is this anything like the last train to Clarkesville?  If so is it a steam train?

    All these folks who live near some of our greatest golf courses!

    I might add - semi-chirp - that I have a place in Lonon at present, 10 minutes from Wentworth. ;)

    I think, at one of the SPT Weekends, we ought to have a little Golf Tourney, maybe do it on the Friday

    Well yes. And no......

    It is one of THE weirdest things in poker, (not just onj Sky Poker, but everywhere) but all I hear are people saying they can't beat these "fish", or "bad players".

    Only poker players could take such an extraordinary view!
