Dublin-->Amsterdam-->Moscow
November 27, 2005 - 4:53amThe European Poker Circuit, such as it is, continues to grow apace. Last weekend it was Dublin, for the EPT.

Late season EPT's in Copenhagen, Deauville and Monte Carlo are well worth you guys plundering, they have good clocks and structures, in excellent venues, measured even by your standards.

The European Poker Tour (EPT), the nearest we have to the wonderful WPT, has now had 3 events in Season 2.
We reported on the season opener in Barcelona previously - suffice to say, the less said about that, the better.

...Everyone calls me "tikay" & I am delighted that I have been asked to contribute to Poker Player, the type of publication that we in Europe yearn for.
A few words about me first, so you know what you have got. Retired businessman, single, I just play & write about poker these days, and I am the Presenter of a TV show - Poker 425 - which airs 7 nights a week in Europe. And I am a partner in a Poker News Website, for which I produce the content, my other half being Dave "El Blondie" Colclough, whom I consider to be Europe's finest player.
