Actually super happy I didn't overtake demios, wouldn't seem right as they weren't able to play the last leg.
Well done demios, superbly consistent once again
Well played everyone

Personally only had it once before. I think at the time I had been on the same table as a user they were investigating for possible collusion/bot activities. So I could only assume they were assessing whether anyone else was involved.
It all cleared ok after ID was sent and I think I even received a slight refund from the alledged bot's alledged fraudulent winnings.
Share your caution in ensuring you only talk to the official support team and double-check the address before sending anything.

Thx Paul, Helen will confirm shortly. Had a few technical issues over Xmas but she's all over it like a hawk (in the best possible way)

Well played Rivrd! A super-competitive game tonight with everyone seemingly running deep into the levels and yet a host of quick-succession bust-outs sealed the points & payouts.
Gutted to hear about the Swedish Home-Games withdrawal, missing you already in the league demios, we'll have to see if we can set something up to run alongside the current format in order that you can still be involved.

So, I don't play much these days as you know, but I have played a few series events recently. You know the ones, like UOS, GCOOP, WCOOP, SCOOP..... is there a POOP? I think there should be!
The beauty of them is that you can typically play a good few tournaments of a similar buyin at the same time and also have some different formats such as 8max, bounties, variants etc. There's often a bit of added value or overlay too, although I guess you'd have to play a lot/most events to pick up any amount of value.
The question I have though is, have you found them to play any differently from regular scheduled tournaments and if so how?
My initial impression is that they are full of poor players which should be a good thing, but the flip side being you can't get away with as much creative play as some beggar will always call you down all streets and catch the river?
Do you guys/girls approach them any differently?
Often deepstacked or long structures, do you go big early or wait patiently for good spots whilst the maniacs go crazy?
Just wondered, I don't seem to have adapted my game to them yet, but working on it. Scored a couple of results on the recent Grosvenor series, nothing major.
Thoughts welcomed.

Well played Leo & everyone.
Great banter as always and classy etiquette as we've always come to expect from PL members.
Gem raised a good idea during the game of having a little side event, namely all entering a regular tournament on a last longer basis and/or sharing out any combined winnings? Will let him post his thoughts, but just wanted to log it so it's not forgotten.
Could maybe do something at the same time as the league? or use those occasional 5th week wednesdays? Thoughts welcomed and I'll have a chat with Father Christmas after the holiday season and see if he has any thoughts.

Had a press release from Grosvenor and can't see anywhere that it's embargoed so hopefully already out in public knowledge. It includes details of a new Deepstack tour running alongside the GUKPT Mains & Mini's and the 25/25's:
Grosvenor Casinos exclusively reveals details of its 2019 poker calendar. Another packed year of poker tours and events with some brand new additions including more online day 1s, new side events (including a GUKPT High Roller), a national league and the all new Deepstack tour!GUKPT
Grosvenor Casinos U.K Poker Tour (GUKPT), the company’s premier flagship tour, returns to 2019 for its 13th season. The 2019 GUKPT consists of 9 legs each hosting a Main Event with buy-ins ranging from £500+60 to £2,500+150 and guarantees of between £100,000 and £500,000. The prestigious GUKPT continuously draws in the biggest names in poker as well as many newcomers, plenty of whom take advantage of the extensive satellite offering at the host Grosvenor Casino or online on Grosvenorpoker.com.
Due to customer demand, the ever popular GUKPT Mini Main welcomes an Online Day 1 taking place on Grosvenorpoker.com on the Monday evening. In addition Grosvenor Casinos can exclusively reveal the 2019 GUKPT Grand Final guarantee will be a £2,500+150 event with the guarantee boosted to £500,000. The Grand Final festival with also feature a new High Roller event - more details coming soon!
2019 also welcomes back the popular 25/25! The £25,000 guaranteed 25/25 reaches destinations right across the U.K, bringing great structured tournaments for an affordable price tag of £200+25. Grosvenor Casinos is excited to reveal in 2019 there will be an online day 1 for all 25/25 Main Events and a new 25/25 Side Event taking place on the Sunday of each leg.
The Easter Beast, Summer Sizzler and Christmas Cracker will be back in 2019 to make those holidays even more special for every poker enthusiast. Each of the three Seasonal Specials consist of seven £20,000 tournaments with a £100+15 buy-in taking place across seven U.K. regions. Each of the seven regional tournaments hosts various day 1’s before combining day 2 players to battle it out for the title. The Seasonal Specials are a particularly fun and sociable way to play poker, all whilst taking part in a serious tournament with a great structure.
Grosvenor Casinos U.K. Student Poker Championship (UKSPC) will be returning to Grosvenor Casino Coventry on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 for a week-long festival of poker. The UKSPC is the largest live student poker tournament and Grosvenor Casinos is excited to welcome new freshers in 2019.
The record breaking Goliath returns to Grosvenor Casino Coventry in the Ricoh Arena on Saturday 27th July 2019. Every year this poker phenomenon has broken its own record to retain the title for the largest live poker tournament outside of the U.S.A. Last year the Goliath Main Event welcomed a staggering 7,584 entries, creating an incredible £758,400 prizepool. In 2019 the Goliath Main Event has a first prize guaranteed at £100,000 – an extraordinary amount to play for from a buy-in of just £100+25. The 2019 Goliath also sees the culmination of a year long poker journey for David Haye. The former world heavyweight champion will be competing in the Main Event after undergoing intensive poker training from the Grosvenor Casinos poker pros. Can David defeat Goliath or will he be taken down by one of the thousands of other poker hopefuls?
Grosvenor Casinos is proud to announce the latest tour to join the line up. Introducing.... the Deepstack! These events will all feature a £130+20 buy-in, £12,000 Guaranteed Prizepool, and of course a great deep structure allowing for plenty of play. The Deepstack will reach numerous destinations each weekend and with outstanding numbers in 2018’s GUKPT Mini Mains and 25/25s, Grosvenor Casinos predicts this tour to be an instant hit!
In 2019 Grosvenor Casinos is running an all new national league which will feature 'Diamond' and 'Platinum' GUKPT Packages for 2020. The national league will be based on a points system which will see players earn points in Grosvenor Casinos' poker tournaments with a £100 buy-in or more and which feature more than one Day 1 flight. More details on this exciting new addition will be released soon.
Grosvenor Casinos’ online site, Grosvenorpoker.com, ensures all customers can qualify for the above events thanks to satellites running around the clock and starting at just 25p. In 2019 Grosvenorpoker.com will also be hosting a Day 1 to all 25/25s, Deepstacks and Seasonal Specials, allowing all players the chance to make Day 2 without even having to leave the comfort of your own home!

Congrats again demios on an awesome opening series
and to all those picking up added value!
The extra tournament has been set up for Wednesday 8pm UK time (remember that British clocks changed last weekend).
After a close vote, the tournament will be PLO.
As KO format only allowed $4.05 or $6.75 buyins, decided against for now, but we can always consider for future.
Good luck all, have fun!

Also, as this is a 5-week month, we have the chance of an extra non-league fun tournament this coming Wednesday, 31st October.
Please let us know in this thread what you would like to do, options are:
- A regular No-Limit Holdem tournament.
- A variant tournament of your choice (PLO, Hi/Low, Stud, Badugi, Triple-Draw etc.)
- A knock-out format? Not actually sure whether this is possible within PokerStars-Home games?
- No tournament, a rest week.
Any tournament played would still have the usual payouts, but just wouldn't count towards the league.
Let us know in this thread your preferred & 2nd choices a.s.a.p. so we can get it set up in good time ready for Wednesday.

Well done guys, sorry didn't make it, something unavoidable came up 11th hour.
Disappointing numbers, especially for those chasing points, I'm sure it's just a one off though, had great numbers at the start of the month.
Congrats to all who played this month & especially those picking up the added value, who will be announced in due course.

confirm my application to join the club. already a week hanging. I can't play like this today if you don’t.
@avongirl SciTopus in PokerStars Helen, when updating the league table.
Welcome once again to all new members this month.
Good luck in the league, have fun and don't forget to check out all the other sports betting, poker etc areas of the forum
If you have any questions, don't be shy to ask, we're a friendly bunch here

Good to see some new members join us.
We have a Pot Limit Omaha game this coming Wednesday, 8pm UK time. There is minimal late reg (5 or 10 minutes i think), but games are usually set up straight after the previous week, so plenty of time to get involved.
The club applications are looked at ad hoc, so may take a short while for you to be accepted, but don't worry, we'll look to get you included before this weeks game.
If PLO isn't your thing, don't worry, we're all pretty laid back & relaxed, with friendly banter. We'll even help anyone to learn how to play the variant if need be. And we won't blind out those disconnected unless it's clear they're not returning etc.
Return to No Limit Holdem next week.
You still have a good chance to pick up points this month, best 3 scores count, people have won the league with 2 good results before!
Good luck & have fun.

Bottom 2 last week become top 2 this week (Bottom 4 to top 3 even). Gotta love the variance train, choo choo!
No doubting who was in the drivers seat, stoking the coals, changing points to max town this week (don't worry, the puns will run out soon, honest they will).
Well played Andy, played it right down the line (it's an illness I tannoy you not, I'm trying to halt !), the signals were there from departure, fares fare, he conducted himself impeccably to a hugely well deserved win.
Wagons roll for the next 2 games. < End of the line!

Well done guys, big target on Leo's back now
Sorry, I wasn't around much this month and thought it would really mess the dynamics if i reg'd and didn't make it.
Also not forgotten about our discussions regarding running something alongside the league, something that the super Swedes can play
