Re: I think I'm going to start using this forum again
Hi Jon,
We've not met but I remember hearing your name before as a poker playing countdown watcher!
I was just wondering what poker games you play? I'm guessing something mainly online, since I don't think I've encountered you on the live circuit...
Gl with the mission!

Not posted for ages butj ust wondered if anyone from here was going to this? Seems reasonably likely, I'm going to be there for the concurrently running Poker Festival anyway so might decide to donate some money to some of the Mind Sports prizepools too.
