The Live Events are spread around England. Newcastle and Stoke have become the two main venues.

There hasn't been a USA event yet. People have talked about having one in the past but its never been followed through.

It really depends on how many people Stateside would be interested.

I have not played live poker yet. I am willing to visit the local poker rooms this summer and try to orgainize an event.

I don't know what the local rooms would need to get a game going. The casino's here have plenty of Rooms and entertainment.

Maybe you can Post a Sticky to see about interest, tourney structure and buyin preferences.

If there is good interest I can show card room managers and see what happens.

As Block will tell you there is more to organising a Live Event than meets the eye, not only the Casino to arrange, there is also transport/hotels/food/trophies/nappy changing etc and if we were to come across arranging all transport needs from Airport as well

Do the casinos not encourage these kind of live events. Seems they would benefit from regular convention of poker players.

not sure about over there m8

but over here sometimes they have there normal tournys on and refuse to let the card room to " private partys "

but if the casino has a decent manager you can prob get him to do something for you .
