Yeah me too, they try to make a second event out of it but I don't think it works, although if i was in the final 9 I wouldnt mind a good break at this stage
Yeah but they all get paid the minimum amount now as far as I know and can use the time getting ready for the FT. Wonder what would happen if one of them was in hospital when the November came around - just be blinded out I suppose? I'm sure they have to sign contracts that cover all eventualities. It is a long time to wait though!
I agree lads - changing the main event to having the final table later was a terrible decision. All done for TV though.
What poker sites do you guys play? I was on Full Tilt. Only played with the play money, but fancy giving it a go for real now. nothing big. Just small punting to play poker. Like to play in tournaments and sit n go's
I just play paddy power poker. You can enter freeroll games every night at half 7 At least your not losing money playing the feerolls
and can you put money into your accout without having a credit card? Can you put monet into your account through the shop?
