Interesting question: how many Europeans here?

[pavyracer]

That's a good point.

[changkaikk]

I'm German, and I agree

[daneblazer]

You guys are always boasting on how prettier your women are. I'm sure you'll be too busy sleeping with beautiful women to be playing poker.

[FourLengthsClear]

7pm EST is midnight for me.
+1

I think the American players are scared of the Europeans playing poker. Have you ever seen Phil Helmuth's reaction when he gets beaten by a 9 4 off suite double raise from a Euro?

That is cue for those clowns from the soccer threads to enter and tells us about the obvious superiority of American poker players.

In all seriousness, I avoid Scandinavians like the plague.

[caracalla]

Scandinavians and Russian the best
Greeks and Turks the worst

IMO

[svenodds]

yes

[leaderalfab]

+8 for me: 2am??
I agree

[Wulfman14]

yes i agree make the tourneys earlier !

[SBR_John]

OK.. I agree. what's the best time? 1PM EST whats that like 7PM in the UK?

Since the tourneys are limited to 60 players we will give preference to any poster located outside of the Americas. Once all those who are outside of Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific have registered we can let anyone who wants to play at that time round out the 60 players. That way anyone outside the Americas could play at 1PM Eastern.

So our new schedule will be 1PM, 8PM and 9PM all times Eastern.

(PS - American players are certainly not scared of you Europeans...see you in Feb)

[kittsuno]

Thank you, SBR_John. IMO 1pm OK.
Good job, Caracalla, as usual

[Glitch]

london england is 5 hours ahead of Est. of course this takes out a lot of americans with jobs and class- 1pm....6pm eastern would be 11pm their time. they might petition this petition.

[caracalla]

I appreciated, at least 1 tourney open to Europeans! Thank you very much
And tx everybody for points!

[pavyracer]

Good job John. Europeans can have one tourney so they won't have to be up late and if it doesn't get filled some Americans who can play in the afternoon can always fill in.

[BigDaddy]

those Europeans are smart.

this way 1 of them gets in for sure

fine by me but they are smart people.

[SBR_John]

I've played in a few different countries and in my very humble opinion Americans are far far superior Holdem players. That may not last long. Americans are certainly famous for eventually getting beat at their own games as my near worthless GM bonds attest to.

[elgreco]

Scandinavians and Russian the best
Greeks and Turks the worst

IMO

[dikefale]

Great that you will open 1 tourney at 1et especially for us European players. John you can open new thread and only winners will post there about their continent so we can decide who is better on this site. Americans or Europeans,here is a question

[coilinsud9]

Europeans -180
Americans +110
Others +140

[l7ustin]

[Wulfman14]

[Wulfman14]

good job man getting one early . i never even thought to ask this .

[arnau]

ty, cara

[SBR_John]

this is awesome im american but i work nights, can i play the euro games?

Yes. The plan is to give everyone outside of the Americas preference so all of them have a seat. That will probably leave about 25 open seats for anyone who wants to play at 1PM eastern.

[caracalla]

Vaffanculo

Greeks +8000
American-Greeks +3000

[daneblazer]

20 SBR points says that this tournament is going to be full of jobless moma living basement dwellers and not Euro's.

[chachi]
