Hi all,


So you have had a chance tonight to grill the poker management at Betfair, now wed like to take the opportunity to turn the tables and ask you a question.

In our forum Q&A in January, we said that we would like to get another forum event going in the UK in 2010. We know there is interest amongst you to start this again, and we feel that getting a forum event going will be another way to get your thoughts on how well were doing and what you would like to see improved.

To help us make this a reality, we would like one of you to work with us to put this on and be the voice of the forum. Were looking for someone who can help get the forums feel for choice of venue, tournament structure, buy in etc.

If you are interested in helping us put this on, then please reply to this thread. Or if you would like to nominate someone you feel will deliver a cracking poker tournament for the forum, then again, please reply to this thread let us know your nomination. We will be on touch this week to get the ball rolling

Best wishes as always,

The Betfair Poker Team

OK - I nominate myself as well! But im billing my bar tab to betfair!

Klup seems the obvious choice imo too considering what's happened / where people are at :)

Unless Smokisi or Builder are available anyway.

Though he never put my photo up on his sites gallery and I was the first (only?) one to reply to the request lol.

Stackers is the only tangible alternative imo :D

I nominate me, Klup is a wonderful man but he is in business with Betfair and as such has his hands tied to a degree!
By:

any1 with more than 2 brain cells is going to be over qualified

Right sorry I didn't read the initial post properly. I thought it was for someone to channel complaints through.

If it is for helping organise events then Klup is definitely the man!

I'd rather stick my head in the back of a refuse truck, than apply or nominate.

i second stackers.

mostly because it seems this person that started the thread surely doesn't work for betfair, and is in fact, stackers!

grrrrrreat catch imo. better than roy!
By:

When: 01 Mar 10 20:07
oh thats a nomination for mandylou by the way

No offence taken at all - I met mandylou in BFWCOP and think he organised a smashing event - very well organised

I personally would not head to the south coast for a game though.

1. klup
2. mandylou

no other names are even worth thinking about.

oh and i nominate me to organise a pool comp/pi$$ up night - too much of that errr poker stuff goes on other night/s :)
By:

I'll second systems99 for the poker night organising, even if the chances that this thread is real are probably less than 5%

This has to be the dreamteam imo:

Klup & Highstacks with Mandylou and/or Duffs as advisor, (I assume they are too busy anyhow, but they are probably the most qualified in truth). Systems for the pre party. Zelda obviously gets a shout, perhaps could do ladies day/teams.
By:
Waheyyyy
When: 01 Mar 10 21:07
I woulda said Duffs/Mandylou too as they've both run successful tourneys before, however I too don't particularly want to travel that far (as much as I'd love to go to the club etc) when someone else could organise one that could hopefull be more central (and nearer to me) to us all. Plus, Betfair doesn't like one of them now as he told them too many home truths :) and the other is just a baldy anyway :) So as Klup seems to be doing a lot of things atm he seems the logical choice.

Also, as reigning consecutive 2-time champion ( :) ) I 2nd systems for the pool / pee-up night.

Where is he these days?

afternoon all
sorry im late replying but been a touch busy

if you see the other thread i did try and gauge if anyone was coming down to the forum £1k challenge on the 13th march but it seems the interest has wained a touch
Obviously if betfair are keen to respond to the forums request of the forum game then i would be only too pleased to help , i have no objection if Klup wants to do it either and what could work would maybe a joint organisation between us with any imput from betfair /others more than welcome
if we are going to make it a 2/3/4 day event then there is plenty that could be incoperated into the weekend - we have made a few improvements at the club icluding function room /bar billiards and table football so the indoor championship could be resurrected
there is also various racecourses close by and paintball/golf /go karting to consider as well
anyone got any dates in mind , are we looking at a couple of month away which would give time for everything to be planned correctly ?
i dont have knowledge of anyone high up at betfair poker at the moment so if anyone could point me in the correct direction

any thoughts from Klup or others ?
