I got this email as well. Most of the games I've played there recently have
been $50 or $100 STTs. Not exactly a high-roller, I know, but ... cheapskate?

What I really want to know, though, is ...



... did the mole get the email?

[friskyfitz]

Real first name (on birth certificate) is William - so all my credit cards etc have that .... hence thats what poker sites know me as. My dad was also William so from day 1 I was always called by my second name Phil to avoid confusion.

Well they most certainly must know me.
Had 41 cents in there for ages so will just give it my best muppet play and see how it goes.

it was supposed to be just sent to players at the lower end of the scale but guys who play bigger stakes but infrequently may have slipped in to the mailing list due to the way the e-mail system works.

the bigger players should have recieved an e-mail about our new V*Table tourney - http://www.virgingames.com/poker/loyalty/VLeague.aspx . More rewards for regular players.

Cheapskates only a bit of fun as things are getting quiet now the school holidays are starting. However, it's certainly the class of player i fall in to.

In case you thought I was offended, I was only kidding. Anyway, I am a
cheapskate at heart ...

[joelegge]

not at all.

just thought i'd take the opportunity to do some shameless promoting of Virgin :-)

Holy fcuk! Someone earned 8,000 Vpoints in 12 days! That's some serious degenerate poker addiction .

Well played mate where'd you come 1st?

[DAC]

No mate, in third, that tournament is terrific value, 50 runners, $118 in the pot and just 6p to join, top 5 share the cash. $45.00 for first.

may not be everyones cup of tea but the blind structure makes it interesting

[shuby1982]

well done DAC, i managed 1st last nite, very much a scary game with 7 player left and then 6, dint think i was gonna make 5th a one point

turns into a bit o a lotto on the final table but with virgin throwing up quite a few suprises it lasted a while

Indeed!

Well done mate, didn't think I was going to money at one stage, got very lucky.

I was the girl in the red dress, Sexy keks....

43 entrants tonight spent a total of €21.40 in buy ins and add ons with €70 added to the prizepool.

Average spend per player = €21.40 / 43 = $0.50
Added value per player = €70 / 43 = €1.63 = $2.04
