Playing tonight

[Renegade]

FREE POKER starts on Tuesday nights from April 11th in the Sphinx Sportsbar. No Limit Texas Holding. You may register from 6pm and the game begins at 7.30pm. Winners receive prizes and may go into the State Poker Championship. No money is exchanged, all entrants receive $1000 of chips, not redeemable for cash


I'm off to have a look at this tonight and see what it's like. Free to play so really you can use this as a nice little tester to see what you'd be like in a real situation, unlike the online tables.
I'll let you know what it was like.

About 120 entered the tournament. I made it to about 50th place, so that was disappointing but next tuesday i get another crack at it. When it's all said and done the overall winner at the end of 11 weeks goes into another tournament where the winner wins a seat on the WPT for and event in Las Vegas. All expenses paid, limo's etc...
Next week i'm going for a top 30 finish hopefully.

what did the blinds start at, and at what intervals were they raised?

I'm guessing the Sphinx Sports Bar is in Egypt unless you want to fill me in.
