Hi everyone,

I just want to see how much of a response there would be to me doing a regular, weekly round-up of news in the UK & Ireland poker scene as part of our editorial? For those of you that do not know, I am UK based and before working for PokerStrategy used to be the editor of a UK based poker website.

The UK has a very strong poker scene, with massive events like UKIPT, GUKPT, the Genting Tour, and of course Dusk Till Dawn.

The question is not that it isn't interesting, it is simply whether it is relevant to you guys, as our EN community is made up of people all over the world, not just the UK.

So if you are interested in having more UK based news on the EN site, post here and let me know. If the response is big enough we'll go ahead and do it.

thanks

Barry

At least an overview with results would be really cool :)

If not for the news about the British Poker Festival I wouldn't have considered a trip to London, thinking it's gonna be way too expensive. I think news with some of these lower buy-in tourneys around the UK is great since:

a) Everyone knows about the very big events anyway
b) Most people here can't play the biggest events with good BRM.

Couldn't agree more.

There are loads of good venues and tournaments to play all over the UK and everyone I visit I think 'how have I never been/heard of this place before.' Basically because word of mouth and accidently stumbling on new things is a pretty slow process.

I for one would be very thankfull if upcoming events were advitised on this site. And results and success stories are always good for motivation ;)

I'm in

News about UK results and upcoming events big medium and small would be great i can't afford to travel to play any big events but knowing more about smaller ones or lower priced side events would be cool and i would probably start to travel a bit to play esp if i knew others from here would be going can arrange meet ups ect

Wow much better response than I expected. I think there could be interest from players outside the uk because we get lots of overseas visitors for things like UKIPT, DTD, the GUKPT etc.

Thanks guys, leave it with me, but do keep posting your interest so we can get an idea of how many people like the idea.
