      Ssshhh.... 2 European Cup Final tickets and some travel funds
      May 08, 2007 06:40:04 pm
      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.

      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!

      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 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.

      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).

      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!
