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

The Punters Lounge £150 added Poker League continues straight on for March 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 6th March at 20.10 GMT in the PL Poker Club Home Game - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 2 : Wednesday 13th March - NLHE 3000 chips
 > Leg 3 : Wednesday 20th March - PLO 5000 chips
 > Leg 4 : Wednesday 27th March - 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.

Gutted couldn't get a  hat trick of Dusty Wins tonight!

Sorry I missed it, the football was too exciting!  I did attempt to join in at half time but PokerStars didn't load up quick enough and it was 8.31 when it opened.
Well done to Billy on the win.  
Can't believe rosco finished runner up again for the third time this month!  It edged you closer to Andy at the top but didn't quite catch this month's champ who has 1st, 2nd and 4th place finishes this month.   Rosco is appropriately 2nd of course.    Leo finishing ahead of pistonbroke means he jumps over him onto the podium. 
Look out for PMs regarding Paypal details, and let me know address if you want the Merch, Andy
February Winners

Brilliant turn out again this month with some more old faces back,  thank you to everyone for supporting the league.
 

Received , thanks as always for fun games, league and added

Well done to Andy who won leg 2 and after a 2nd place finish the week before now leads the league. 
Tonight's leg is Pot Limit Omaha with 5000 chips, I know you all look forward to the change of scenery! Start time 8.10pm with the 20 mins added late reg.
 

Leg 2 tonight, more of NLHE and hopefully paying the right places.  Start time 8.10pm with 20 mins late reg period.
@kevsul you need to reregister as I cancelled the one you had pre-regd for.
I am still trying to resolve last week's payout error, but sadly I've not yet had a response.
 

To be safe I cancelled the games and set them up again as wasn't sure how they displayed in the lobby for WTA. @kevsul you were registered already so please rereg, Stars should have refunded buy in.   
The default payout is top 10% which I change on drop down to 20% so can only assume I rolled the menu down  one too far. 

I've messaged Jason.  Hoping to sort this amicably.

The players that play on ipad, tablet mobile can't chat and as most are aware I am sometimes stacked with tables and miss chat.
I didn't notice till later on either, but would of transfer split if I won as Ian said we are all friends here not some random's playing each other.
GG all.

Well said, Ian. My sentiment too.

We're not talking about life-changing money here, and this isn't the WSOP. For the record, had I finished first, I would have transferred payments to the other three within the hour. The PL isn't just some random online poker club full of strangers, we're all friends here 

By that logic I would also assume they did not realise it was winner takes all either though and as they play these regularly every week players must have expected the usual payout. 

When there were 6 players left only 3 responded to my request to pay top 3. I don't think you can assume that if someone didn't object then they must have agreed.

Oh heck, so sorry. I didn't get home til 9pm so didn't even load it up to watch.  I agree with what Andy says, all regulars playing so you would be expecting a normal payout.  (With 16 in I think it should have technically have paid 4 places.) I have means of contacting Jason @Rivrd if necessary but he should be able to do a PokerStars transfer.
Just checked, Leg 2 last month had 16 and paid $36/$24/$12/$8.
