Actually. While I'm here. Can a mod have a look into what happened to my challenge thread? It seems to have disappeared in the change over of the forum!

Thanks.

The KO Challenge mate? https://forum.punterslounge.com/topic/142845-ko-challenge/ or was there a later one?

Everything Poker related is now in a generic Punters Lounge Poker board, except the Tourneys which is always most popular and so is separate.

We can probably merge that now too, but worth waiting for a rethink on overall format, just waiting for sufficient members to put forward suggestions ;)

Absolutely no idea what happened with that last post! Seem to be having probs with the new forum on my tablet. It was a different thread with about 10 challenges on. Been on a few weeks. Danshot was the only one that commented but I was keeping daily stats. If its gone I'll resurrect it but can't remember what most of the challenges were! Lol

Go to https://archive.org/ - type in forum.punterslounge.com and find the thread, then let me know, but email [email protected] as you've pretty much hijacked this thread. ;)

So how did you all get on?  Everyone still too hung over to see? :)

Sorry I didn't make it, I've spent the whole weekend coordinating with workmen who haven't yet completed installing my new kitchen and boiler, and inbetween writing a best man's speech and trying on suits for a wedding next weekend.  Hopefully get there next time.

Well done, Andy! Quite a comeback from just before you knocked me out (for the second time in one day).

 

On the flip side, how many nights are you going to be sleeping on the sofa?

 

It was really good fun, and good to meet/remeet people, as usual. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Fantastic to see everyone again and get to meet a couple of people for the first time. These are always a highlight of the year for me and so glad I made it, well most of it, apologies again for being late. I can honestly say it wasn't a "Hellmuth" strategy, but after playing significantly better when I wasn't there, it might have to become one ;)

Congrats to the winners and thanks to all those who played, I'm sure there will be other opportunities for those that weren't able to make it this time.

Big thanks as always to Paul for putting this on for us, arranging everything and for the added value, very much appreciated :ok

Thanks too to Grosvenor who I know aren't used to putting on too many tournaments at this particular venue. It was the first tournament for one of the TD's, who admitted to being extremely nervous but overall I thought they did us proud, keeping everything moving whilst at the same time allowing us a little flexibility. Can probably fine-tune the structure a little just to help things out at the end, might only need ante's being brought in a little earlier, thoughts welcomed.

Broad Street at 3.30 in the morning.... I know I've led a sheltered life, but didn't realise it was that sheltered :eek where do they get their stamina from? My thanks to Mr & Mrs Runadrum for helping me to navigate my way through whilst under the influence.

Think Hen & Helen amongst others have some photos that will no doubt follow.

Great times.

Thoroughly enjoyed meeting up with everyone, hardened regulars and newbies. Felt like we'd never been away from it!  Both games were played in a great spirit, Omaha finishing a little earlier than planned and wrapped up quickly after the bubble, Holdem however strung out until 3am and is perhaps the first ever game won by someone who had had to leave the tournament some time before the end!  In true PL fashion, we played it out with Andy's stack going all-in every hand (as had been the case in the several hands leading up to his physical exit), and in true Bell fashion, he took the tournament down!  Many thanks to the TD and dealer at the end who agreed to run with our slightly unusual suggestion, and to all the Grosvenor staff who were brilliant all night.

 

Congratulations to Omaha Champ Washman :clap  Paul will be in touch to arrange the Skrill added £50.

I think it was Samba 2nd, was it Bart or Heniek in 3rd, sorry I've forgotten, and I picked up the bubble prize in 4th.

 

In the Holdem, Congratulations to Andy Bell who tried to either wrap the game up or bust out for about 2 hours and only succeeded in gradually building up his stack before having to leave. :loon:clap  Hope the long-suffering Mrs Bell got you both home safely.

Commiserations/congratulations to runner up McG Junior and Staffy in 3rd.  Again, Paul will be in touch to arrange the Skrill transfers of £50 for you 3.

BigMozzyDog was in 4th, with Runadrum picking up the bubble prize in 5th.  Big Mozzy, you disappeared with your winnings without putting in the agreed tenner!

 

As Bart said, Broad Street at 3am Saturday night was a bit of an education, and I was relieved to find our car still in one piece in the open air car park on Sunday morning!  We left the YOOOOORKSHIRE McG clan playing roulette with Rob's winnings, hope you made it safely back, with money, to your digs.

 

Massive thanks to Paul for organising everything, and for the added money and bounties. :notworthy

 

Hopefully will see everyone in Leeds next year ;)

Forgot about the bounty prizes, believe Paul was adding £10 by Skrill on top of the chocolate (hope I'm right, apologies for getting your hopes up if not!).  Can you post if you won one.

 

I know Heniek won mine.  Andy Bell won someone's, can't remember whose, plus he retained his own.  I don't know who won Paul's empty wrapper (although I do know who ate the chocolate :lol)

It was I who won Paul's (frankly rather disappointing) bounty.
