I actually think that if this event succeeds, it could be great bringing poker further into the mainstream.  This might not seem like too big a deal to anyone in England/Scotland/Wales, but for the likes of the NI market, getting mainstream recognition of the game can only increase the chances of us being allowed to play. 

Agree the rake seems very high, but yet to hear if there will be much added value to the prizepool to help make up for this.

Think in general poker players are very spoilt, and very negative in general.  Sure, this may not be as +EV as a random stars mtt, UKIPT, etc, but it has the potential to be a fantastic unique event.  Stephen is very experienced at marketing larger than life events, and with people like Sam Trickett on board, and the opportunity to play in Wembley, Im sure it will not be hard to draw a lot of players from all levels.

Wish them all the best, hope it succeeds, and will try and support it by making sure Im there on the day.

I"m assuming that players will sit in the spectator seats in the stands at Wembley and play with a laptop on their knee.  10 hours in one of those plastic seats is going to be pretty uncomfortable and very tilting.....  unless I"m missing something?

ooops deleted last message instead of modifying it.  :-\

Anyway, I find the ISPT website lacking basic info just now tbh, you guys obviously have more info and I"m sure you wouldn"t have jumped in feet first without it. Hope this turns into a great partnership for you. ;)
