Tonight's the night. We've arrived at the last night of poker at The Gutshot on Clerkenwell Road.
The club is holding a £5 rebuy in tribute to a tournament format that started so many great, and not so great, players on their way. It used to be called "beginners' night" although tonight there won't be a beginner amongst the field which is, however, likely to include several top-class professionals who have emerged from Gutshot's ranks over the years.
I'll be playing, and hoping for a result. I fancy it will remind me of the "BSPT". Like tonight's tournament, it was a frantic rebuy where the social aspect far outranked the poker. But, like the BSPT, those in the mix at the end will desperately want to win!
As an experiment, I have just set up a group on facebook for BSPT alumni - there are over 200 of us. I'm not going to invite people to the group - it'll be interesting to see how many we can get just by pure "viral" means.
