Anyone going to be playing this? Or know of good places to stay, how close it is to which airport etc?

Yeah im probably gonna be there. I stay in glasgow myself so sorry, i wouldn't know where you would stay. Just fly into edinburgh airport as well...

This place is really close to the Ediunburgh Airport. I used to take the bus from the University there all the time to play 2 quid black jack. In fact, this was my first live poker experience as the first time I ever played I won the 10 pound freezeout with rebuys for around 600 pounds.

I have entry to the:
27th £100 f/o
28th £200 f/o
29th £500 f/0 main event day 1a
1st £500 f/o main event day 1b
2nd £500 f/o main event day 2 and final

Due to not being bankrolled for these I would like to look into the option of selling these. Apparently the seats can be traded into someone else's name...confirm/deny any1?

Please post here or PM me with any offers.

-Note to mods: if this is not allowed sry and delete post or w/e

meh im now playing them, anyone else playing in this? any info on the inkeepers lodge chain that has a hotel near there?

I bubbled a sat to the ME which sucks, and seen as I aint bankrolled enough for it, I aint playing the ME, I'll probably play the £100 FO and see where I go from there.

If I do go along, it'd be great to have a couple of pints with you guys.

Hey

which hotels can you recommend?

Can someone make a post in the MTT forum about this plz.

Anything cool to do around Edinburgh while there? Will there be cash games/stts in the casino too?

Also looking for recommendations regarding hotels please?

Playing prelim events and hoping to satellite into the main event.

I'm playing the ME. Has anyone bought in yet? Do you get to pick which starting day you play?

I got to pick my day and went for 1b, no real reasoning though.

The actual name of the tour is Gala Casino British Poker Tour, GCBPT Edinburgh.

Anyone else that hasnt already posted playing in this? I think I am getting a twin room at the InnKeepers Lodge.

Are there still spots available for direct buy-in to the main event? I'm sitting in their last online satellite at the moment.

edit: busto QQ vs AK

I don't know if there are still spots available, but I haven't seen it advertised anywhere as sold out...

Looking for someone to share room with potentially, PM me.

Playing main event day two. Will be wearing a green cap with a 1up mushroom on it.

Gah, gutted I didnt play the ME now. Colin Wu from Dundee done a chop and was the nominal winner. One of my mates had 10% of his action too.

Well done Colin, howd you guys do?

Busted out last on day 1b, kinda glad I didn't have to go to day 2 with under 10bb. I was playing pretty damn well but lost significant chunks of my stack on these to hands...

1. Button raised, sb flat called and I 3-bet JJ, button folds, sb thinks and then pushes all in, I call. JJ vs ATc , he has about half my stack, so he can seriously dent me, and he does when the board brings 4 s

2. After building my stack up with two nice hands and very aggressive play I've noticed two people in particular gunning for me, a super tight player with a thick glaswegian accent and a loose pakistani player across the table. I raise to 3,500 (600/1,200 with 100 ante) from mp with 88, folds to the pakistani guy who moves all in for about 17,000. I think for the most part he would disguise his monster hands, and he looks at me smugly while I'm thinking, knowing i can't call. I think his range is probably as wide as A7s+ KQs+ 22+, so I call. He turns over A9o, but hits a full house. This again cripples my stack, even worse.

A few hands later I shove AQs over an utg raise from the villain in the first hand and he has AK, board bricks.

Happy with my play for the most part, the event was fun and well organised.
