I don't have a bloody clue what your talking about :dim: I know nothing about Poker.

I do know you can have 1 re buy at £10.

If you want more info from someone who knows Poker there is an email address you can use on the Webpage.

Not sure how many are playing yet.

Incase anyone else thinks im talking jargon

Im asking how many chips you will get for the £20 buy in
How many chips you will get for the £10 add on
How long each blind level is, aka the automatic ante!

Errrrr :unsure:

Out of the £20, £10 is your initial Buy In the rest goes towards your food & the Trust.

After that I'm clueless :stupidme:

[ldnfatso]

How many players so far?

All seems to have gone a bit quiet on this can soembody let me know if this is still going ahead as planned?

[ldnfatso]

I spoke to Beaver after the Orient game and he mentioned the event may be pulled due to lack of interest. I'm still interested though!

[Bad Beat]

I read Shrimper Zone about a dozen times a day, but have never posted. I won the Poker Tournament last night, and would like to thank the trust for a great night, and also all the people that took part for a very friendly and enjoyable tournament. I'm afraid it wasn't until I got into bed in the early hours that I realised that I hadn't tipped the two dealers on our final table. This was a very bad oversight on my part and I will be going back to the casino this evening to rectify this. I hope this didn't reflect badly on the trust.
Thanks again to everyone involved.

Stephen,

I'm not surprised that after 5 hours 27 mins of playing you forgot to tip the dealers, but don't worry, the Trust gave them a tip at the end of the evening (morning :zzzzz:).
Well done on a great win, and a big thanks from the Trust to all the Players & the Casino.
A report on the night will appear on the Trust Website tomorrow.

Well done mate and well played!

[effy67]

What a great evenings entertainment and many thanks for the trust for organising it. Good company and the grub was n't bad either, I look forward to the next one where I will attempt to get my revenge on bad beat. Well played Sir!

All the trust members managed to stay awake as 4 of us desperately battled to avoid being the bubble and the top 3 of us even got a nice little trophy each. Photos were taken and all that was mssing were the scantly clad ladies!!

Can't recommend the night enough so hopefully we'll have a few more peeps next time
