The Punters Lounge £150 added Poker League restarts this week for September, running 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 6th September at 20.10 BST in the PL Poker Club Home Game - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 2 : Wednesday 13th September - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 3 : Wednesday 20th September - PLO 5000 chips
 > Leg 4 : Wednesday 27th September - 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.

Well done on the win Ian.   The top 2 in the league are our 2 weekly winners so far, but with PLO night tonight for leg 3 could everything change?  Game starts at 8.10pm with the usual 20 minutes added reg period.

Tottenham (1) 1.25
Norwich (1) 1.85
Wrexham (1) 1.57
£10 treble please

Watched the whole game - after 60-odd years of being a Swindon Town fan I'm no longer surprised by anything we do 

turncoat, should have gone with over 2.5 🙈

Team Name - Swindon Rejects
Real Name - Adam Szerlowski

2023/24 season:
I was initially thinking we would start weekend of 12th August when the Premier League matches start rather than this weekend with the Championship and lower leagues, although I'm sure you are all disappointed not to have the 200 FA Cup Qualifying matches to pick from.   However I notice that weekend the German and Italian matches are their cup competitions, so I may yet defer another week to weekend of 19th August if all the leagues will get going then.  Let me look into that to see how it pans out.  My plan would be to run 3 full seasons of 10 weeks again with a week off between restarts.  No doubt some international breaks will give us the odd rest too.
Everyone who completed last year will automatically be allocated a league place, and I will invite back those players who lost their 'all in' bets and were eliminated.  I'm hoping to tinker a little with the league structure, fewer Divisions with more players, but better prizes.  We will still have room for new players, or those who have dropped out previously, so please reply in this thread if you'd like to request to join in.

Congrats and Happy Birthday Leo 

Game on tonight, 8.10pm.   It's PLO time
