That'd be 8.15pm GMT Abbey Sider.

I'd love to get involved in this - but I dont play much online (or live these days) poker - and second of all - I am on pacific time - so I wouldnt be able to make this kind of event.

Thanks for the invite though supersarsfields - and be careful what you wish for

I was just wondering as I recently resumed my online poker'career'. Who polices these poker sites? Do they set up cards at times i'm not saying there out to cheat people out of money but are they fixed to give a big final card?? as the amount of times i've been involved in a showdown with another player the river usually lets the underdog out of the hole!!!

Depending on work I might head down, stumbled into the WSOP Europe Main event last year when I was on holiday in London and it was a good days craic even without playing the main tournament, few little side games on the go and some good craic to be had from some of the pros

DrinkingHarp · July 16, 2011, 03:12:18 AM

ESPN 2 is showing the WSOP 211 Main event live. It is interesting without all the editing. Daniel Negraneu(sp) was talking to a player about a past hand from earlier in the night he watched from his IPOD/Iphone during the break so anyone can review critical hands/pots to help them later on against their opponents.

So what sites are everyone using these days to play online? I've only really started playing online for about 9 months on and off. Started with 888 as it was voted the best this year so naturally thought i'd give it a go. Its pretty basic in terms of graphics and set-up but dead easy to understand. I've also tried PKR. That's a site with all the bells and whistles. However it can be a bit slow and also hard to get on a table. Gave a few others like Party Poker and Pokerstars a try also.

So was basically just wondering does anyone find a particular site better than the rest and it would be the one they would only use. Also what sort of tables would you's play as in small, medium or big enough size blinds? Big for me being about $1/$2 blinds. (fair f's to ya if you're hitting the $5/$10 blinds and above!!).
