Apologies to those (and there were many), who I subjected to bad beats tonight. I was playing a few tourneys simultaneously and some of my decisions were made in a bit of a rush. I couldn't see who was throwing them but at one point I was being pelted with virtual 'horseshoes' from all directions 

Well done to Leo who won leg 2 and with it moves to the top of the league.  Shaping up to be a very open competition this month with me in second place after only a 3rd and 4th place finish.
Tonight's game is everyone's favourite, PLO   with 5000 chips to throw around. Usual start of 8.10pm with 20min added late reg. -

GG all

All 4 legs are set up for the month.  Leg 1 is open for registration now

We get up and running with the November Punters Lounge £150 added Poker League this week for the next 4 weeks on Wednesday nights.
The £150 added by PL is shared between the top 3 in the league at the end of the month. Games start at 8.10pm, with a 20min late registration period on top of this.  All games are played in the PokerStars Home Games PL Poker Club. 
The format is a NLHE 3000 chip tourney in Legs 1 & 2 and a 5000 chip NLHE for final leg.   Leg 3 is our PLO Leg with 5000 chips.
 > Leg 1 : Wednesday 9th November at 20.10 GMT in the PL Poker Club Home Game - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 2 : Wednesday 16th November - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 3 : Wednesday 23rd November - PLO 5000 chips
 > Leg 4 : Wednesday 30th November - NLHE 5000 chips - (double entrants in points formula)**
Buy in is $5.50 per leg.
Your top 3 scores of the 4 legs will count towards your league total. We will be using the usual PL poker league format, which will be updated in this thread. (The PokerStars own league scores will not be used.) Formula is -Log(position/Entrants)x100
To help boost numbers overall and in particular in the final leg we are continuing the system of doubling the number of entries used in the calculation in leg 4 (**so if 10 entries the formula will use 20 entrants). This will increase the number of points available in the final leg to make it more competitive.
All members are welcome, however you must post in this thread if asked to let us know your forum username, otherwise your placings and scores cannot be included in the league.  New players are always welcome to join in, so please spread the word and invite your friends to the forum so we can keep the weekly numbers up.

£150 Added Value

The £150 added will be split between the top 3 players of the league end, with £75 to the league champion, £45 to 2nd and £30 to 3rd.  This will be payable via PayPal at the end of the league.  Big thank you to Punters Lounge for the added funds.  The league winner will also get Punters Lounge merchandise.

November would be a 5 week month so I'm proposing we reschedule start of October league to next week and run it on until 2nd November for final leg. We can start November's on 9th and still run a 4 week league in both.
 

It's a call....he has to put in the extra 100, and he can't change his action.

Elliott gets a great start to the month with a win in leg 1
We have leg 2 tonight, same format as last week with a NLHE 3000 chip tourney.  Game set up and open for registration now, starts at 8.10pm with 20 minutes added late registration period.  No problem if you missed last week as it's 3 weeks scores to count over the month so please jump in if you're available.

I managed to grab the result of the fun week game whilst it was in the lobby.  Well done to @Elliott Sutcliffe on winning the prize pool and also to bounty winners @Washman amd @Rhino_Power.  Great to see Washy back at the table

What a fight between the 2 June super powers, with 2 wins a piece for McG and muttley.  In the end a next best 4th beat a 6th/7th and it's @McG who is crowned our June champion.  The final leg multiplier didn't actually change this result although it would have been even closer between them without it.  The 3rd podium spot is taken by Rivrd who appropriately had 3 third place finishes this month.  Well done to all 3 of you, I'm sure I have your Paypal details already so I'll send those off for payment.
We have a spare week this week so if @McG would like to choose a game for us to play I'll set that up.  There are all the variants, or bounty games.  There's also now an option to do a game with web cam enabled if you fancy a go!
 
1st  @McG  £75 + PL Mug and Pens
2nd  @muttley  £45
3rd  @Rivrd  £30
 

Well done to muttley, 2nd win of the month puts Paul right back up at the top of the league  
Tonight's final leg is already registering, it's the usual 5000 chip NLHE finale.  Can anyone catch the leader with the points multiplier?

I remembered to take a screen shot and have sent it to PL Admin (I don't know how to post it to the forum since tiny.url became defunct)

no idea where that will have gone but thanks
Personally I paste screen print into Paint, save it in my files and then upload, or you can use Snipping Tool to save then upload.

Sorry if my absence messed with the dynamics tonight. 
 
I pre-regged for tonight's game, then at 6.45pm I got an SOS call from the wife. Spent the next four and a half hours waiting for the AA Recovery truck 
And it wasn't the only game I'd pre-regged for      

GG thys but we both know it was a draw really
