I'm absolutely amazed at your decision to forego the opportunity of posting what could be THE LIST of all lists :eek:

He's probably feel a bit' listless' from the whole thing. (corny police alert)
Perhaps though a list of the notable playing in this would be nice.
I've booked the Killarney court for two nights. Is it any good? Does it have a disco? Is it far from the maddening crowd? ?

question, what if the super sat brings in more than 20 tickets? or there is sit and goes on the friday?

Macspower · 24-09-2008 8:10pm

Hi guys,

Just wondering about the following... I won a ticket on Ladbrooks a few weeks back.. Do I have to wear any ladbrooks sponsorship gear as part of the deal?

Also am I free to wear any other sponsorship logos that I wish to?

There is no requirement to wear Ladbrokes clothing and no rules about any other logo clothing being worn.

I think you should make people aware that you are not selling a ticket and that you are having an auction for a ticket. Its always good to see the vultures waiting in the shadows to take advantage of genuine poker players for their own personal gain.
i really hope your left with it

what? did he not say he'd take 500? or did "someone" ruin it?

pokerkingsni · 24-09-2008 11:37pm

I think on the other thread it says "i'd be happy with 500+".

This is possibly what Damo is referring to.

"I will be selling the ticket for 500 euro. If anyone is interested get in touch. Cheers"

"im quite happy with 500+ for the ticket."

This must be the confusing bit.

Nothing confusing about it . I recieved a pm from the seller to say that it was up to €625 and he would be taking offers until monday . Confusing , i think not.

Damo let me know who the seat is being sold by it will be released by me and money sent back to the person . I do not mind seats been changed but that will not happen seats must be sold for Face value only.

Hey Eoin,

As far as i know there will be alternatives for this. Not sure if you can reg in advance for the alternates list, my guess is you'll have to turn up early next Friday.

I'd just like to thank Neil for going well out of his way to help me get regged for this. Really appreciate it.

And congrats on getting that field size locked up. Amazing achievement - I'm sure it will be an amazing tournament.

Lloyd,

Do you want to do a last longest for this and the IPO? If its 1 each, we call it quits but it either of us outlast the other one in both tournies then we pay up?

How about the loser has to fork out for 5 beers, a kebab and taxi fare home from town some night before the christmas?

babymaker6 · 26-09-2008 5:09am

how about you and Lloyd sharing a taxi to killarney?

How about you worry about getting yourself to Killarney and not worrying about me! I'm thinking of flying down anyways. Depends whether i can get off work on the Thursday to play the satellite or not. If i can, i'll just get the train down

how about doing a thread for each event, say €50 per a man...

YULETIRED · 26-09-2008 11:51am

Have you no work to do Ollie ?
I'd be on for a last longest but for the 50 Euro cash . The night out thing looks like 3 is a crowd sort of thing , babymaker may have hit upon a sore point judging by Tonys reply...... Beer and Kebabs Tony? what about your lovely new figure.?

Last longest anyone? (for cash not Kebabs)

I'd be up for that, if someone is willing to do the organising and collecting the money. I've done this before and its not worth the hassle tbh!

Lloyd always gives a good challenge in a last longest bet! Nah Willie 3 isnt a crowd lol! Fergus just hates being left out of anything! I'm hoping to organise a beers night out for a few boardsies before the Christmas and i'm sure Lloyd would be up for it so it will be a free night for me :P

I agree, the hassle is not worth it.

Connie or Neil, would you be able to arrange this on the day and get the money collect from the players on the starting day?

We could set-up a thread of who's interest and than just collect the money on day 1 as the event starts or a reg desks if not too much hassle?

Cheeky to ask!!

lol Ollie,
far to Cheeky,
Neil will be shining up his Microphone, while Connie will be strolling around with a big cheesy grin on his face.

In fairness though it would be way too much hassle, they are going to up to their neck
