How much is it to enter these tours? Do you just turn up on the day and enter or have to be done before hand?
Im guessing there are satalites too, when would these be playing?, for say, Luton 6th March.
nice one.
Yes entry is by satelite, these begin later this month and cost 2.40 I believe, they dont usually allow a direct buy in

Nothing to see here, move along please.
Hows The Lady?
I think you are saying that you reach the sharp end of Tourneys with plenty of chips (relative to the Blinds) but then you donk off, or, in the (quite dreadful) modern terminology, "spew".
If only I had this problem - I tend to motor with a micro-stack! But each to their own, & it serves me well.
It's just about having "gears".
If you are deep in the Tourney, & in a commanding position, you have 2 choices really.
1) Keep your foot hard to the floor & try to bludgeon your way to the win in a sort of Desperate Dan mode.
2) Be a little more subtle, & pretty much sit out, & let the others, particularly the shorties, do the work for you.
I have encountered an amazing amount of extremely gifted players, with talent to spare, & a game to die for, who regularly made the last 2 Tables with a mountain of chips, & then donked off. And they just needed a tinsy bit of fettling, just to back-off a little until it really matters.
There's a rather peculiar but extremely gifted brand of super-heroes in poker who are lauded for "going for the win", but you can skin that cat lots of ways. Try sitting-out for a while, until there are 3 or 4 players left. Then suddenly open out with a bang, & get mega-aggro. You've nicked 4 Pots before they realised you've woken up, & now you have the psychological momentum & edge.
I hope lJAMESl comments on this too, because he used to be a spewer, but now he's found his gears, & it's working splendidly - he cashed for £50k+ recently in a GUKPT. And £50k is serious money.
Hi Tikay was watching Sky Poker the other night you mentioned someone gave you some photo`s at a tourney what were the the photo`s of Thxs Martin.
I don't recall saying it, but I assume I was referring to the photographs which Col, aka Mr Mbro, gave me at the Manchester SPT.
They were two beautiful black & white photographs of steam locomotives in the 50's.
We must have done a dozen or more SPUKT's, SPT's, Boot Camps & such like, & at every one that Mr Mbro has attended, he's bought a gift for one or more of the Staff. Which is really rather nice, I think.
Talking of gifts......
As you know, young Lauren has had a tough time lately, & the Community have been quite magnificent in helping to make her life more bearable.
At Newcastle, one of our players gave me £20 towards a gift for Lauren. And another regular Forum contributor & Sky Poker regular, whom you all know, has pledged £100, & asked for my Bank Details yesterday to tx the money across.
The money has been put to good use, more details when appropriate.

Starting at the end, my luck is just grand, thank you, it always is. I can't win a hand at the Tables, but you know how it is, form comes & goes in poker.
So, many congrats on winning your Luton SPT Seat.
How long will it last? It's a 1 day Event, will start at 2pm, & the Tourney will end between Midnight & 1am. Fun SNG's will last all night, however, probz until we get thrown out.
Many of us will be there on the Friday night, though, for the £75 Freezeout at 8.30pm (7,500 chips) , & on Sunday they have a lovely £100 Freezeout (10,000 chips) at 5.30pm.
Which Presenters? Lisa-Marie & Trevor Harris. Rich Orford will also arrive at about Midnight, as soon as Total Player has finished, so there's some easy PTP SNG money to be had. I'll be there at the start, until about 5pm, then I have to dash back to the Studio as it's the BIG Total Player night that nibht, when the winner is announced, but I'll be back at about Midnight, too.
Celeb Guests? Yes, several are lined up alrerady, with more awaiting confirmation. Names to be revealed later though.
Look forward to seeing you there. Make sure you make yourself known to me, so we can have a chat.
never goes on and on like live poker
