Hey Seanygeorge1977,
Firstly huge apologies in the time its taken for you to receive a reply. We really do endeavor to reply as promptly as possible but for whatever reason all mods have been busy/away today. Once again offer my most sincere apologies on behalf of all the forum moderators and we will never let this happen again.
Although there is only 6k in the prizepool so far alot of money will probably pump in closer to the end of the registration period, I know alot of sites have recently had 180 minutes late registration too so expect alot of "punters" to late reg. This is obviously good for us as they will be mainly recreational players who fancy a "punt" and a go at a decent prizepool. So even if it does get closer to the expected guarantee then there is a good chance that it will be a relatively small field.
After Black Friday many rooms have had some big overlays I know on ipoker this week they have had 2 $13k WSOP packages for a $1 buy in that has saw over $20k in overlays. Pretty sick huh?
In regards to you getting constantly unlucky I feel your pain mate. I had a similar run not so long ago and really felt like whatever happened I couldn't win a pot. Eventually my "luck" turned around and I was back to the winning ways, from your obvious dedication to poker and willingness to learn I am sure that you will be a profitable player.
We really do need more players like you on the forum to get discussions going and you will soon find out I'm abit of a poker nerd so sorry if I start trolling your threads
Let us know how the tournament goes/went and if you get deep why not start a "rail" thread and we can rail you to victory.
Also I can tell from your writing you are definitely English. Where abouts do you come from? I'm from Newcastle (no jokes about our painful painful team please

)
Apologies again,
Patrick
