PokerStars staff tournament today (Fri. 6/3/05) at 3:30P Eastern

[Lee Jones]

Hi folks -

[If this is considered inappropriate advertising, somebody let me know and I'll not post this stuff here]

The PokerStars staff tournament is today (Friday 6/3/05) at 3:30 PM Eastern. Most of us (including yours truly) will be there, committing unimagineable suckouts and trash-talking each other.

I hope you'll come root for your favorite Host - it's T#8488625. Go to the tournament lobby and then private tournaments.

Best regards,
Lee Jones

I always think these kind of things are cool. I might watch a little bit of it if I'm around. Thanks for posting it, Lee.

[MicroBob]

I don't think it crosses the line either.

Pleasure to have you posting regularly again on these forums Lee. Particularly addressing the $10.50 'deal' situation as well as taking care of the guy who had won two seats.

The staff tournament isn't quite as important a topic though imo but all is well. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Won't be able to watch....but good luck... and you are indeed a brave man for actually soliciting an audience such as the zoo to sit around and critique (errr...I mean BASH) your play.

Since they all work for Pokerstars how do they choose which players to put into distribution mode? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

only thing better than watching fat people play poker on TV is watching fat people with hot chicks as avatars play a online tournament. im there!

You all are lucky that Dikshit isn't playing in this tournament.
