Well done to McG on the first leg win, back in form and on top of the league
Next leg tonight, same again with NLHE

April legs are set up now

Oh no 
I'm going to have to find something else to do tonight instead. Wednesday night is PL night. I can't play next week either as we're away 

Hi guys, we'll have to take an enforced break this week as the PokerStars servers are down for maintenance with no indication of when they are back up.  I haven't been able to set the games up (and am going out shortly) but I wouldn't want to be uncertain if the game would run tonight anyway.  Fortunately May is a 5 week month, so we can slip back a week and finish up April's on 1st May.
Enjoy a well deserved week off and I'll see you back next week

The Punters Lounge £150 added Poker League is taking a 1 week Easter Holiday break and will recommence next week for April and run for 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 10th April at 20.10 BST in the PL Poker Club Home Game - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 2 : Wednesday 17th April - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 3 : Wednesday 24th April - PLO 5000 chips
 > Leg 4 : Wednesday 1st May - 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.

Apologies for the slow update to the final of the March league.  I'd blame Easter eggs, except I've not started one yet.
I did correctly predict an exciting end and a shake up at the top and Bridscott and Leo duly provided that.  Well done to Bridscott on consecutive wins.  
This has resulted in a tie for 1st place up at the top of the league (I've shown the decimal places behind the spreadsheet!) and I drop back to 3rd spot managing to hold off the remaining challengers.
March Winners

Scott, I'll send you a Message on here for your Paypal details and address if you'd like the Merch.   Leo, I know yours!
 
Big thanks again to everyone who has joined in this month, we are keeping up the overall number of members playing each month, regulars and new and returning players. 
I'm attempting to set up the April league to start tonight, but at the moment the PokerStars server is down for maintenance.

Well done to Bridscott on a great win in the PLO last week.   Not sure how I managed to claw my way into runner up spot, felt like I lost everytime I was ahead, folded all the potentially winning hands, lost with QQ every time, but obviously binked every hand I was behind in.  Got to love 4 cards.   
So I find myself top of the league but vulnerable to everyone below, those with 3 scores on the board all have lower scores to drop and anyone who has missed a game could easily pick up over 100 points in the final leg tonight.
Join us for the exciting conclusion at 8.10pm for NLHE with 5000 chips, late reg open til 8.30

A super flop, but not for me! I hit a FH on the turn, shove the river, and the git slow rolled me,,,,

From tonights Punters Lounge League PLO game.....more a Super Turn (The flops not bad)

More a Super River

Well done Leo, takes the leg 2 win and hits the top of the league.   
Mostly a turnaround from leg 1 with those who had done badly doing well in leg 2 so still a very open contest this month going into our PLO leg tonight.   Tournament is registering and open until 8.30 for you to stake a claim for the added value in the league.

Well done to thebestthere who won the first leg of this month's league, first one for a while here, well done getting back into winning ways
Next leg is tonight, it's NLHE again, starts at 8.10pm with usual 20mins added late reg.

Games all set up.  Tonight's is open for registration now
