Euros VT? In the UK? icon_biggrin.gif

I was gonna come down but losing my jobs (friggin' credit crisis is a rig!) means I've got a mseverely depleted roll and can't play despite free accomodation.

Event 2- £5,000 Horse- September 22nd
Event 3- £5,000 - September 24th
ME -£10,000 NLHE - September 27th

Come along and I'll buy a round of Guiness if I can scrape £250 for travel and drink.

So the 1500 event is $2700? I remember when it was cheap for Americans to travel abroad. And Americans were actually welcomed. (okay the last sentence might be an exaggeration)

The world sucks right now bro. The economic standard worldwide is in huge decline and it's really hitting the working class and the people who work in finance. And when you're involved in both...you're ****ed. IE, me.

Sorry...today has me on life-tilt.

Well sure. With the exchange rate, only he can afford it.

lol in fairness the exchange rate has been going better towards americans than us brits visitng the usa. Only like 2-3 months ago i could get nearly 2$ per £1...

To be honest though i want the $ to increase in value against the £ as then u win more monies smile.gif

Sorry to hear you lost your job sad.gif I kinda quit mine too, come down and I'll buy you a pint (or three) to commiserate. They may even run some good cash games!.. there is a first for everything.

Yeh those are all the events, only 4 I think this year. Although that is an improvement on last year. Fingers crossed it won't be sold out as they are capping the £1500 event to 500 I'm told.
