Ssshhh.... 2 European Cup Final tickets and some travel funds

[JD]

We had an email from Virgin Poker telling us about a tournament they are running next Monday (14th May).  Basically it's going to be quite a closed session - only 150-200 Liverpool fans involved.

£1 entry to the competition and the winner gets 2 tickets in the Liverpool end for the European Cup Final + travel funds.

If you like your Poker then this has to be worth a go.  They won't have time to heavily advertise this so I have posted it in here and will leave it about 24 hours before posting on the main board.

Sign up now - stick some money in your account (I put £15 in ready) have a little practice and then get involved in the tournament and you could (or hopefully me!) be winning those 2 special tickets.  If I win (I have finished 3rd out of 200 before!) then I will take one of you fellow reds from this forum who has also been in the tournament - can't say fairer than that) - will you return the favour if you win? 

(Oh, and I nearly forgot, whatever you put in to your account originally they double. ie. stick £15 in, then you get another £15 bonus off Virgin Poker).

Excellent.  Get signing up then.  Makes it one nearer to the tickets for the rest of us!

Cheers JD.  I'll be there at the final table. Any ideas what time it kicks off?

I assume it's texas hold em, which I've never played, but I used to be quite useful at 5 card brag. For that sort of incentive I'll learn and I'll learn quick though. JD, if I win, I'll more than gladly take you with me.

[redkenny]

Excellent stuff JD. Very much appreciated!

And same goes here as Eddie said. If I win, you could possibly be on your way there too, you old git 

I used to be a bit of a hustler back in the old days....

Good fellas.  Texas Hold'Em I assume.  You've got 6 days to practice anyway.

I'll try and find out the time.  Let's hope we all get down to the final table.  What a coup that would be!

[Glenbuck]

I thought Texas Hold em was a porn film! so I'm afraid unless its snap or happy families I am knackered.
Thanks very much for the info though.

Downloading the software now, and bought myself a 'Learn to play poker' DVD yesterday. I don't care, for a prize like that, it's worth learning in a couple of days.

[JD]

I've just gone to register for the tourney and locked myself out by entering the wrong password 3 times! Duh!!

Got to wait 24 hours... It BEST not be full by then!

[JD]

JD just downloaded the programme, but when I enquired about the required table with an online operator, I was told you had to qualify through a qualification table last night..............What a bummer !!!!!!!!

Not true.  I have just unlocked my password and gone in and registered. I am number 41 at the table!

All it cost me was £1.

Click on Multi-Tourney and then ALL and scroll down to the 14th May.  It is called Champs League Final.

Heads down at 7pm GMT.

[JD]

60 now in.

[JD]

About 190.. good luck everyone from the forum and the website.

[JD]

211 in the tournament. Registration closed. Starts in 2 mins... Watch. I will be out first.

[JD]

Not out first. But out nonetheless...

[mrtommo]

sorry to hear that JD, I just hope the person to win deserves a ticket, not a tout

Well the fella I foolishly let wind me up in to making a bad call was saying how he hoped he could win so he could burn the ticket! What a horrible b***ard eh? Yep hope a proper red wins it (that fella just got knocked out anyway - some sort of justice).

[mrtommo]

Have we any other forumites left in the tournament ?

[JD]

EddieC sounded keen as did redkenny.  Didn't recognise any names specifically - but could have different usernames...

Gutted.

Anyway - this thread has reached number 3 in google for 'european cup final tickets'. Classic!

Couldn't get on a computer, don't have one at home, either use works or my girlfriend's & she was out.

Oh well, I'd bearly learnt to play properly, probably wouldn't have had any chance.

Your gf doesn't let you use it while you're out. Worra bit*h!

Ah well - I was hoping someone off here was going to land it. That's my plan A and plan B sailing away.  Plan C?
