LIKE2FISH

Hello everyone! I'm a newcomer to the forum and I'm from Canada. I've been playing poker for the last two years, and I've had my share of good and bad luck. It's nice to meet all of you!

As David Brent would say, "Some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue,"

Happy New Year to all our Punters Lounge poker players.   Thank you to each and every one of you who have contributed to the Forum and who have played and supported the League.
We continue on for January with the Punters Lounge £150 added Poker League, 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 4th January at 20.10 GMT in the PL Poker Club Home Game - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 2 : Wednesday 11th January - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 3 : Wednesday 18th January - PLO 5000 chips
 > Leg 4 : Wednesday 25th January - 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.

Few from last week, decided to just post once a week any Wins! So hopefully there will be plenty!
 
 
 
 

Thanks Helen for the congrats, was a decent year, hopefully 2023 will be better  

Please post any successes you'd like to share in here, whether MTTs, satellite wins or a good session on the cash tables.   Wins, placings, big or small, one off or a whole series, online or live.
Good luck for 2023 to all our players, let's celebrate some successes.

Well done Leo @LIKE2FISH , looks like a successful year for you.   Thank you for sharing the posts and also to @ian309and @Rav for contributing to the thread.  
I'll set up a new thread for 2023 in the same format, please everyone feel free to share your successes with us, we love to see them.

Happy New year all! Couldn't quite finish the year with a W  
 
 

Couldn't quite get over the finishing line 2nt, excuse the Unibet funny name :)) Was changed for a giveaway to do with biscuits for a Home Game!

Do appreciate the late reg too :)) When I sometimes start at 4pm/5pm it gets to near FT time sometimes for a few and I have sometimes 8 tables, had 12 other week.
I cope best with 6 or less tbh so try and cut down on tables when I can! 

A win for McG in last week's NLHE lifts him into 2nd in the table with Billy44 holding on to the top spot with a 4th place finish.
Tonight it is our PLO leg, it seems to have come round quickly this month with Christmas season bearing down on us now!  It's 5000 chips so get your card holders ready for the 4 cards of fun.  Starts at 8.10pm as usual with the 20 mins added late registration for Leo

Two simultaneous PLO tourneys. Not a lot of cash but a lot of fun.

Package for IPT next year! Done for nt as not been very well since this morning after taking Jade out to the park, but had to play this as it was today only and I had a ticket!

1st W of December, been a rough time of late, still cashing and getting FTs but nothing huge, ticking by!
 
 

Good luck everyone this month , great start to trying to go back to back I forgot it was already Wednesday ? 

All legs are set up for the month and first 2 open for registration.  Good luck everyone

Apologies for keeping you on tenterhooks regarding the final standings. On hols and still got the usual PokerStars Home Games access problems (although it did eventually let me in to play last week).  Redownloading at the moment so will get new league set up shortly.
Well done to Jason whose last leg win is enough to also get him onto the league podium with a win and a second place in the month. Elliott's 3rd place finish also lifts him onto the podium after an earlier leg win, but this month's champion is Dan with a win and 2 fourth placings in the month.  Less than 10 points between the top 3 with just a small gap then separating them from the next two.
Well done to this month's winners   I'll sort the payments out when I'm back home at the weekend.  Incidentally, the last batch of payments should have arrived with those winners now, let me know if any are still missing.
November Winners
1st  @Danshot £75 + PL Mug and Pens
2nd  @Rivrd £45
3rd  @Elliott Sutcliffe £30
