So apart from water and food, what should I bring with me?

No. Bust near the end. Currently crying about it.

You don't really want to bring a bag or anything as there is nowhere to put it. You can leave stuff in my car as I said but if I go home I'll have to pass it on. Bring a phone for twitter. :)

I would recommend an MP3 player if possible as game pace live can be slow, I wouldnt use it until you have figured out your table.

Some people will only have one earphone in or have the music on low incase they hear something that might help or tells etc.

Need a phone to get back pretty much! I'll travel light, just don't drive away with my stuff by accident !

Ballpark, how much do you think taxi from Cov to Leam is, as you're local? Never tried it before.

Oh, as we agreed so everyone else can be in on it- I said that if I bust out first from our lot tomorrow, I'll change my forum name to Donk Ritual for a bit.

Yeah, I'd thought about that but I figure it would just distract me. Will take one for the train though.

No idea re: taxi.

No worries. I'm thinking it'll probably be £30-£60, probably closer to the latter because of the time.

Well, if we're both there towards 10/11/12, are you okay to take me to the station and we'll check with one on how much it is and go from there?

This is a total estimation on my part. Just asked someone else now and they reckon £20 is closer to the mark which would be fine, much less than I was expecting.

Amazingly Gaz, myself and Zinger are all out. Oh and Sykes, he bust so early I forget he came.

Well I say that but I did think he made level 9 as I kept seeing his look-a-like (pics to come).

Aaron is still in though with Darkdonk both over 100k when we left!

Just got back. 95k (18-19BB) tomorrow, so lot of work to do. My own fault for playing the last two levels awfully and far too tight. Woman on my left all-ined to most raises, table was fairly aggro, didn't have good hands and I was half-asleep, to be fair. No excuses though, got to pick it up tomorrow.

Cheers for the lifts Rex and Aaron, definitely helped me save a bit of money. (£28 for the taxi in the end!) and of course big thanks to Sat for the buyin. Hopefully I can smash it tomorrow!

So disgustingly jealous right now, although I'm sure I would have donked out early anyway!

I'm possibly going to play in the WCOOP. As I have a few days off in Sept.

After some sleep and some maths, realised I'm actually 15/16BB, so going to have to go a bit aggressive and not be afraid to jam it in. Could be going home quickly, but I don't think I can afford to play tight anymore.
