[bennymacca]

not sure about every 5th hand for the $50 game.

maybe every orbit might be better.

Just wondering if there will be any live reporting done on the day?

That was always an awesome and exciting thread to read, especially for those who couldn't make it on the day but wanted to know who was left, stack sizes etc. Also gave the game a feel of a "real" live poker tourney with anticipation.

I would volunteer my services to do live updates for a small fee

If a small fee = $0 and a few drinks then you're hired.

I might do some funtime live reporting whilst I am over there. If anyone else wants to volunteer than feel free to bring a laptop.

[AceLosesKing]

If I'm around and can borrow someone's laptop I'll take on the live reporting job.

I expect interviews and funny stories from the felt and maybe you can call the clock on a few players (like Lynn Gilmartin on Pokernews except it won't be as hot).

[AceLosesKing]

I did it for the forum one year, when benny the cunt and Scott were on the FT together (the year benny the cunt shipped it), through CoverItLive.

That was fun, although a bit pointless cos I think rcon + a few others were the only forumers not in attendance ;D
