Title: CANADIAN Poker Players in UK!!!!!???
Post by: CanUK on February 24, 2010, 12:53:39 PM
Hello All,

I see there is a new World Team Championship on August 26th, 2010.

I have not seen any information yet, but am excited to see that I could possibly get a Canadian team entered.

Being a Canadian living in UK, it would be great to get all Canadian Poker players who live in UK together.

This is just a preliminary call out to all Canadian Poker players living in UK.

Let kick some ass, eh!!!!!

I"m not Canadian, but my favourite sport is hockey.  Does that qualify me? Sort of like how you can get into the Rep. of Ireland team if you drink Guinness. Also my Grand Father on my Mother"s side looks a bit like a moose.

A Canadian team made of Canadians who all live in UK - a strange concept! Next, someone will suggest perhaps a Polish team with a similar make-up! oh wait....

Please don"t question the passion of somebody who lives outside their own country.  In my experience, they can be far more passionate!  C"mon Sean and Canada, let"s do a Poland!

me? not sure my post was intended to question any passion. In fact, I was rooting for the guys on the day after we englanders were out of contention - they were a great bunch, with great passion, and clearly very patriotic!   Was drawing a comparison - meant as a joke.

Ohio just might do it , and even the moose thing might be ok. If Sean and I can"t get enough Canadians we will most likley try for a North American team and see if that gets through. Really is it just Sean and I that are Canadian and in Apat? Well we"ve got a bit of time left to sort out some more players for the tourney. Hey Tightend, can we adopt Laxy as a Canadian?

Yeah you should probs just make a North American team, probs easier to get together, I"m sure I played with a canadian or american at Walsall last year ??? Maybe Des knows of more in the ranks...

You"ll have to fly a few over.  It will be a five day poker festival in Europe"s premier cardroom, organised by the World"s best poker tour and sponsored by Betfair Poker who are at the forefront of the poker industry.

Oh, and DTD has the best staff and great valets.


Big it up, and Canadians will travel.   ;D

I think zzBlizardzz beat me to the punch...

But here it goes.

Que the inspiring music...

This is a shout out to any Canadians & Americans who want to put our differences aside for one weekend and come together for one cause, one fight, one time....to show the world that as Can..ericans or Am..adians we can be a world force and dominate team poker in UK.

LETS DO IT, eh!!!

Inspired yet?

      (clears throat)

Hey.
I"m not a lumberjack,
or a fur trader...
and I don"t live in an igloo
or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...
and I don"t know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I"m certain they"re really, really nice.

I have a Prime Minister,
not a President.
I speak English and French,
NOT American.
and I pronouce it ABOUT,
NOT A BOOT.

I can proudly sew my country"s flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.
DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,
AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.
A TOQUE IS A HAT,
A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,
AND IT IS PRONOUCED "ZED" NOT "ZEE", "ZED"!

CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS!
THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY!
AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!

MY NAME IS CRAIG!
AND I AM CANADIAN!

Thank You...

Right... I talked to Des over the weekend at the Welsh Championships about the Team event. This is going to be one hell of a tournament, a Poker Olympics (Des if you use that then you owe me a pint) if you will. The comming together of all Nations in the pursuit of friendship and a common purpose, to beat the bejesus out of each other in the Cadilac (Rolls Royce) of the game, No Limit Hold Em. You have to be from the country your playing for so no adopting. I hope this doesnt rule out us or the Yanks do to lack of countrymen, however Des is confident we will be able to get an all Canadian Team together. So that being said our Team now stands at 2. We need some players. So if you are a Canadian Poker Player please get in contact with me and we can get you signed up, if you know a Canadian Poker player please let them know about the event and tell them their countrymen need their help over here. C"mon guys lets get this done...

What the hell is this anyway. It sure as hell isnt hockey. It looks like an event that was added for people who couldnt compete with Countrys who actually have snow. Looks like Laccrosckey, and do you have to be a sexual minority to play it??

If I have to jump ship, I"m afraid I still wouldn"t be playing for ye.  Full Irish as a back up, so I"d play for them if they"ll have me.  Luckily we"re talking poker and not hockey, so there"s a chance for us.   ;)

Hey Des, how many players do we need for the tourney?


The team event is usually a Non Playing Captain + 4 players, although some of the countries will have a playing captain due to having to travel to get to the event and it"s harsh for a captain to travel and not play.

Mr. Redfern, I was wondering how long it would take to get a message from you. Yea, your right, bad call. Must have been cause I was so nervous playing a pot against the Uk Champion, wont happen again..In all seriousness though mate, your a hard player and I enjoyed being at the table with you. Take care and Ill see you on the tour..

to be honest Craig, my biggest disappointment was having to leave the table.... that was one of the most fun tables I"ve played at in a while (well, at least the three seats from you round to me were anyway).   The hand played itself - can"t fault you for calling, and I absolutely loved your call when I saw the cards..... just trust the poker gods to poop on my parade again.

Looking forward to the next one

Still no word on what"s going on with registration for the team event. But judging on how early the sats were done, we are running out if time to get our team together. If anyone knows anyone who is Canadian and plays poker let them know we are looking and if they are interested then get in touch. Thanks

Get back up to the top. Some Blonde members showing interest so we may yet have a shot. Still looking for 2 more players though. At least we don"t gave the issues team England have. But I don"t know which one is better.
Title: Re: CANADIAN Poker Players in UK!!!!!???
Post by: zzBlizzardzz on May 25, 2010, 05:47:28 AM
Might have picked up another player through Blonde, so hopfully we will be ready to go for the team event, if not it certainly won"t be for lack of trying.

Hi guys,

New to the forum.

I have been contacted by some other members of this forum to look into things here.

I was previously the captain of the catpack UK. Its a fun little event we have had going on ever since poker night live was on the tele.

I am a Canadian and currently live in this beautiful country of ours.

I am trying to make my schedule work for this event and if all goes well, i will be flying in for this event.

Cant promise yet, but i will confirm for you in about 1-2 weeks time.

hope you guys are ok with that, but its the best i can promise.

If all goes well, i will see you at the tables Aug 26th.

Ive been going through the posts and I dont have her number, but i do chat with her from time to time, especially since she too is also a member of the Catpack.

I will pm her. I"m pretty sure she counts as a pro though.

Post by: CnadnBvr on July 24, 2010, 01:55:25 AM


Are we at 3 or have you reached 4 yet??

if the team needs another, i will ask around. The flights seem fairly reasonable, i found one for $500.00 + taxes today. Brings me in on Wednesday and takes me back out on Sunday.

I received possitive word yesterday and things are currently looking good. Lets hope it stays that way.

I will keep you guys updated.
