LIKE2FISH reacted to muttley in Punters Lounge Exclusive £150 added Poker League - February Champion - ANDYBELL666
The game was set up as winner takes all. A few of us were prepared to do the normal 3 way split, but not everyone in the chat responded, so I assume it stayed that way. Helen, could you check to see if the rest of the month's games are set up with a normal payout structure?

The Punters Lounge £150 added Poker League continues straight on for February 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 7th February at 20.10 GMT in the PL Poker Club Home Game - NLHE 3000 chips
> Leg 2 : Wednesday 14th February - NLHE 3000 chips
> Leg 3 : Wednesday 21st February - PLO 5000 chips
> Leg 4 : Wednesday 28th February - 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.

No longer active anywhere. GG looked pretty soft when I trialed the $5/10/15 tournaments for a while (+14% net ROI, grinding 6 to 8 a night).
Retirement from the game is less profitable but far less stressful 🤪
Hoping to do a little trip 'up ta-north' at some point in the summer, will try to meet up with a few people, if only for lunch. Likewise for the south-coast contingent.

A few weeks ago I received an email from Pokerstars to say that they were discontinuing 'Stars Coins' on 7th Feb and that they would convert your coins at a rate of 1p per coin and add it to your account balance.
I've just had another email but this time there's no mention of converting your coins to cash. Might be a good time to buy something with them or convert them to cash yourself via the 'Rewards' tab. Just sayin'

Well that was a surprise! After a lengthy but enjoyable 3 way podium fight when each of us took a turn as chip leader and on oxygen, it came down to this piece of luck. Well played Pempi and Bridscott

I didn't actually think this would apply all the way down to my lowly 12th position
Quite an unusual month where only 1 of the top 3 is a weekly winner (me!). Leo keeps his hold on champions spot with two 2nd place finishes in the month, I bag 2nd with a win, a last and two mid place finishes, and Rav takes 3rd spot with a 2nd and 3rd place finish in the month. A real mixed bag of results for most of us over the month, which at least means 11 of us won something of the weekly prize pools. Added Value results below, I'll send winners details off, but may take a while to drop into your account.
January Winners
1st @LIKE2FISH £75 (+ PL Mug and Pens)
2nd @avongirl £45
3rd @Rav £30
Magnificent turn out for January and great to see some old faces returning, thank you to everyone who has supported the league this month.

Well done to Andy, the Master of PLO, who took the win in last week's leg and moves up to 2nd spot overall. Leo was runner up again and maintains top of the league despite not having a win yet this month, the other weekly winners being a little way down the league having missed the leg. So it's actually bunched up really tightly towards the top and plenty in with a chance of making the added money.
Tonight's game is 5000 chip NLHE, usual start at 8.10pm with 20 mins added late reg.

LIKE2FISH got a reaction from avongirl in Poker Platforms
Mainly play, Sky,Unibet, Paddy. Sky has very short timer and no time banks & 6max tables and small fields, which I prefer, Unibet lot 6 tables, preference is Paddy as can use HUD and has auto timebank, Paddy has bigger fields then Sky & Unibet. Sky software is pants though :))
Also play Party ,Stars, GG, ACR, 888, Coinpoker a bit as well. Stars best software still.
PC gets a bit grumpy when I have 6+ sites open though :))

As I mentioned the other week, all of Dara's books are great, I have them all.
I love mental game of poker, I have 1 &2, prefer 1.
The 100 Biggest Mistakes That Poker Players Make by Alex Fitzgerald is something I really enjoyed too, I got that on audiobook.

I'm always on the look out for new titles, so I wondered if anyone has got any recommendations?
I've just finished Endgame Poker Strategy by Dara O'Kearney, and thought it was pretty good.
My all time favourite poker book is Exploitative Play in Live Poker by Alex Fitzgerald. It's an easy read and helped me a lot.
For beginners I still think Harrington on Hold Em is the place to start. It's a bit outdated, but a great introduction to the game.
