Two different skill sets imo.


...so it"s a good way of determining the best overall poker player, covering both live and online discipline...?


Well if that"s what the rankings are for then the main tournaments shouldn"t be just NLHE.


Surely the PLO counts towards it as well so its not just NLH?


All of the main tournaments are NLHE. The side events only count for half points and are few and far between so count very little towards the "best overall poker player" scoring.

Regarding the rankings this is a good debate and could do with some clarification

Are the two to be combined or separate?
Either way what does the overall winner (s) get?
Will the online champs have the same scoring system as last year - i.e. 18 - 1 for top 18 in the ME and 9 - 1 for top nine in the PLO
Will the live side events award points? I vote yes although I know last year they didn"t

On a slight tangent, is there an added seat for winning this weekend"s online event and if so do we know what it will be? (just curious really - I"ll be playing regardless)

There are no Professional Events running through S5 although there will be a sole Pro-Am event in London later in the year

Have Cardiff and Blackpool dates definitely been swapped as on 888 the dates for the events are the originals. Need to know as booking accommodation for Cardiff with Tesco vouchers.   :o

Just thinking about Prague next year and noticed that the casino is being proposed as "Kings Casino, Rozvadov, Czech Rep" which seems a little far from Prague itself (1hour 40mins away by car and 162Km away).. is this true or has my googling gone crazy..  :-\

Transport to the casino from the airport is (as Tighty said) available from the casino (or so I gather) but my understanding is that the casino itself has rooms but the website is a little vague on that and/or the cost.

I would say, however, that 30 minutes is optimistic...60-90 minutes is more likely...it"s 140km (85 miles in real money) from Nuremburg airport.
