Yep, I did the same recently. Pokerstars have lost all the U.S players due to black friday (Full Tilt Poker). It has re established itself as the go to place for small stakes tournaments, good guarantees, and satellites into the bigger competitions, for Non-US citizens.

The WSOP this year in Las Vegas will probably be cancelled, so the online platforms should try and do extra stuff with an available audience.

Sky Poker has very weak games, but not very many of them.

Have heard that too. I believe anyone can bink a tournament, so I like the idea of a nice win with the bigger fields.

So, I've just now won an $11 Satellite into next weeks Sunday Millions, which is an especially big one because it's the 14th anniversary. All I need to do now is to work out how to play and if I can fold my way into a min cash!

Are the medical opinions of the posters on the BA forum likely to be better than those the government is being advised by?

The government's strategy has differed from that of other countries, the WHO and independent experts so it's valid to question what we're been told imho.

e.g.
WHO appears to criticise UK approach

Margaret Harris, a spokesperson for the World Health Organization, appeared to criticise the UK stance on "herd immunity" this morning.

Asked about the suggestion that if enough people in the UK get the virus the country could develop herd immunity, Dr Harris said:

"We don't know enough about the science of this virus. It hasn't been in our population for long enough for us to know what it does in immunological terms.

"Every virus actually functions differently in your body and stimulates a different immunological profile.

"So we can talk theories but at the moment we're really facing a situation where we have got to look at action.

She also reiterated comments made by the WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus yesterday, that Europe is now at the heart of this pandemic:

"We're seeing far too many health workers at the moment being infected and far too many young health workers dying.

"The epicentre as you know has really shifted to Europe so European governments must now be considering how they can ensure that every hospital, every health service has got the capacity, can look after the expected increase in numbers of people."

Dr Harris also said that the WHO did not advise travel restrictions and that widespread testing was the "gold standard".

And just think of the field day the media and Opposition would have if BJ disregarded the advice of our medical experts and it turned out they were right! And I don't actually see that any of the above is criticising our approach … it seems to be saying "we haven't a f***ing clue what's best"! My unqualified position is Homo Sapiens has survived for over 10,000 years by 'doing a Darwin' and adapting to new challenges as presented before it by adopting the herd immunity approach. Some will die, I'm nearly 70 and have an existing heart condition but I'm all for facing it head on and try an build the immunity otherwise I understand it could come back next year and repeat the episode.

I am starting to like you more and more Mr Fox

In other breaking news coming from Italy, corona virus has tested positive for Zlatan. The virus has now been put into quarantine for the next 14 days. Our thoughts and prayers are with the virus and its corona family.

Ok that was the last one I promise.

Hopefully there will be some vaccines available by next year, unless Donald Duck hoards all of them for himself. 10,000 years sounds a lot to us but when you look at how old our world actually is you realize it's nothing more than a blink of an eye and how pathetic and irrelevant our lives are in the grand scheme of things. Like the powerful message at the end of Michael Jackson's Earth Song, when mother nature gets fed up with our petty nonsense it will try and cleanse itself of our parasitic race one way or another, I just hope we can find some other teat to suck at when that time comes.

Ok, so Ebola wasn't a good enough warning sign to get our priorities straight, since the Trumps of this world don't care about Africa, but hopefully this one will be.

Sorry if I went a bit too deep, but I'd urge fellow forumites to stop arguing and conserve their energy for more important things

Well done! You've got the value. I've pencilled it in, will try some satellites next week as well.

That's a biggy for sure. ($12.5 million guaranteed) Normal entry @ $215

Remember it's a 3 day event.

"The Irish government has also strongly advised against house parties" ...... good luck with that!

Sensible step closing the pubs but there'll be house parties galore!

Contacted by Reuters, a spokeswoman for the German Health Ministry said: “We confirm the report in the Welt am Sonntag.”

Have any of you guys put German & UK figures side by side? Something doesn't seem right, Germany has around 5k positive cases and 11 deaths... the UK has around 1100 cases and 31 deaths. Surely this is backwards, I'm no mathematical genius but something about that strikes me as odd.

Maybe Germany has a much better health system whereby people recover more often.
