Wow! Those are some great prizes. I may need to break out of my UB shell and open an account. But I'll struggle at the Limit game. I seem to prosper more at the I-Don't-Have-Crap-But-You-Don't-Know-It-No-Limit versions. ;)

Mr. Caro-

After I win this book, will you autograph it for me? ;-)

So are these poker chips plain or with like a Plante Poker design. I actually suggested to UB that they make chips with the UB logo and color scheme to be bought with UB points. I think it would be a great advertising gimmick. And playing cards too!

The poker chips have the Planet Poker logo and Mike Caro stamped on them. They're high quality ceramic standard-sized poker chips. And we have cards too! You can purchase these at the Points Store using Planet Points (our loyalty program).

Cheers,
Rhonda

You Sicilian too?? Damn what would happen if you and Mozman went up against each other with death on the line. Sounds like a good cheesey 80's movie. Poker tournament where the losers forfeit their lives and the winner gets freedom from some futuristic post-apocolyptic prison. ;) Ok... too many B-rate movies in my youth.

I MUST get in this tourney. Rhonda only shows 2 people signed up for it. I'm already in the money and haven't even signed up yet! ;) And those are some sweet prizes! Who knows, maybe I'll be converted from UB.

I went to the Tournament screen in the Player's area but there was no button to actually sign up for the tournament. Am I doing something wrong??

I have registered with Planet as being a UPF member but can not register on their site to play. I think they have opened the wrong tourny for registration.

I have actualy written about 3 emails back and forth to Planet Poker's support telling them that the wrong tourny might be open but have just recieved the same email back saying " I can now register for the tournament " !. I have now given up and am going to wait until next week to register !

Odd... When I looked at it a couple nights ago, it looked like I could register no problem. I don't have any $ there yet (waiting on Neteller) so I haven't completed the process.

I will look at it when I get home tonight and see if I can post some specific instructions. I seem to remember having a hard time at first, and then finding it and thinking, "Ohhh... that's it!"

There were tournaments for tonight that had a button that said "Sign Up." I figured that the UPF tourney would have the same button. I must be missing something.

I have played in quite a few Planet comps and i am 99% certain you cannot yet sign up for the UPF one.
