Games are set up for the month, we start with leg 1 tonight at 8.10pm, which is open now for registration. 

The Punters Lounge £150 added Poker League continues straight on for February and I look forward to keeping up the momentum of our great start this year.  We run for the next 4 weeks on Wednesday nights.
The £150 added by Punters Lounge 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 7th February at 20.10 GMT in the PL Poker Club Home Game - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 2 : Wednesday 14th February - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 3 : Wednesday 21st February - PLO 5000 chips
 > Leg 4 : Wednesday 28th February - 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 and remain viable.

£150 Added Value & Punters Lounge Merchandise

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, which consists of our logo mug and pack of 10 pens. Unfortunately due to supplier shipping restrictions we may be unable to provide these to members who live outside of the UK.

Who is magataa?  Good to see a new person at the table.

He's a friend of mine who lives in Gdansk. He was formerly a member of Team Poland in previous APATs

Reminder for leg 2 tonight (as for once I got the result up early!)  Best 3 scores from 4 so it's still a good time to join in if you missed last week.  Game starts 8.10pm with 20 mins added late registration, which most of us seem to use. 

Having seen off xc0u7’s AA with my AJ, I was gobsmacked that I couldn’t repeat the feat with AQ v Raveon’s AA later on.
What is this poker world coming to?
Another good game with respectful banter - see you all next week.

Looking forward to more fun on the tables

Happy New Year everyone.  I'm just checking that we are ok to continue with the added value and if so aiming to restart next week.  Enjoy a week off!

I couldn't see the podium with a telescope from here but I'll donate to the prize pool anyway.

Sorry for the continued wait for prize payments.  I have chased up a couple of times, not sure whether we need to wait til the month end for processing.  I'm one of the payees so I'll know when they go through and will update as soon as I hear anything.

We've a 5 week month in November so we'll reverse what we normally do and start next week 8th until the 29th and have this week as the rest week.  I should have caught up with all the outstanding prize payments then and we start on an even keel. Christmas doesn't fall too badly around our Wednesday nights so December league should be able to run on the 4 December weeks as normal.

Well done to Kev on the final leg win.     Too much ground to make up to make it onto the podium and it was the previous top 4 who had a little switcheroo round.  McG is our October champion maintaining the top spot with an impressive run of results in the month, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.    The other podium places are taken by myself and Leo, both weekly winners and sadly it's Ian who misses out despite a fine set of placings this month.
We are going to take a break this week and start the November league from the 8th.  Thank you to everyone who took  part this month, see you for November
 
October Winners
1st  @McG  £75  (+ PL Mug and Pens)
2nd  @avongirl  £45
3rd  @LIKE2FISH £30
 

Leo took down the PLO leg last week to climb the overall league table into a podium position, but this month's two in form and consistent players McG and Ian are up top.  Can they all hold on to the money spots or will those lower down with no or low points to drop off their 3 scores make an impact?  Extra points available with the multiplying factor in play.  Join in the final leg of 5000 NLHE chips at 8.10pm.  20 mins late reg for latecomers and those watching football.
