Bigger field = longer tournament = more days.

No, that's sort of wrong actually....Their stated reason for adding a day was to allow more players to enter...the amount of players who can enter doesn't change unless the number of day ones change. In almost every major tournament, there is "too much" time scheduled, and one or two days of play invariably wind up being very short, so unless they're allowing another flight of players, the added day still isn't quite making sense.

I've come to the conclusion that some people just like to complain. Given the alternatives, capping the entries, playing shorter levels, or playing crazy long nights I love the decision to add 1 extra day at the end. 6-10 people (all of whom will be much wealthier) will need to change their plans and the rest of us get an extra nights stay for free. Once again I think Stars has come through with flying colours. I think I might use the extra day to rent a car and drive into Italy before coming home. ANd if I screw up and happen to be playing the final table I'll have to take my winnings and use them to plan a return trip.

My suggestion for those that are unhappy is just to stay home and keep the spending money and leave an empty seat at the tournament. That will send stars a message and for sure they'll get it right next year. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The poker tournament is being held right in the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel where most of the Stars qualifiers are staying. The famous Casino looks to be about a kilometer away.

I'm curious about what we need in order for our north american electronics to work (specifically my laptop). Do we need a special adapter or is EUrope on the same electrical system as us now?

I learned a valuable lesson when I went with Ray to EPT Dublin.

Always, always, always bring a power convertor.

We went at least 36 hours without being able to use our laptops in Dublin....oh god, that was awful.

What kind of clothing is considered to be "nice" in Europe? I have some dress pants in various colors, and button/colared shirts (usually striped or with decorative designs), but thats about it.

What do you guys think is a appropriate?

[/ QUOTE ]

Same stuff is considered "nice" in Europe as it is here in the USA. It's just that they do it so much better than us that no matter how you try you will probably wind up looking like a disgusting American with no fashion sense by comparison.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL, so true. Guys, shirts other than t-shirts and nice shoes will be good enough.

If you figure all the suits for sale in Monte Carlo cost atleast $2K, you will probably look like an uncouth American no matter what you wear next to the wealthy aristocratic southern Europeans, but you don't want to look like a bum. I would suggest wearing nice dress shoes, button down shirt or polo shirt, and maybe sweater or sports coat to places not requiring semiformal dress. Wear the most expensive and fashionable clothes you have, and try to be color coordinated.

well, Jimmy's new clothes are bought, and if he'll just wear anything but that same ole green shirt or the tie-dye t-shirts, I'll be happy. And so will yuv. And probably PokerStars, lol.
