Thanks for the message, got to say I'm kinda interested

About the rules, so that $3 buy in, do you keep betting real money on top of that?

Sorry if I sound a complete idiot, my poker is a little better then my gambling :shifty:

Nope. It's a tournament structure, so you just pay your entry fee and then you're in until you either get knocked out or win.

These are tournaments so you pay the entry fee ($3.30, or $11 for the final tournament) and then there are no other costs. $3 goes to the prize money with $0.30 going to Pokerstars.
Once you lose all of your chips you are out of the tournament and generally the last 3 remaining will win money but that can change depending on the number of entrants.

Of course! One of the main reasons for this thread was to try and encourage other forumites to get involved and it's great to see this paying dividends already.

Will be back from the Great South Run in time tomorrow, so I will be in :)

I'm only ten pounds off of my target for Naomi House, by the way, a charity that takes care of terminally ill children and their families, as well as after-death care.

If anyone's interested in giving a few quid, send me a PM and I'll give you my full name, if you don't already know it, so you can find it at Just Giving :)

Enjoy.

Also, see if you can name the tune, and also agree that it would absolutely suit a rocking poker show!
