ian309 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 In respect of my situation there has been no change. Pokerstars have managed to turn the phrase 'Customer Service' into something of an oxymoron and I don't see that changing any time soon. It was fun while it lasted.... best of luck folks !

avongirl Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Well done Barry, and the win takes you to the top of the league Next week we have our PLO leg. It's the normal structure, but with a 3000 starting stack so should allow for plenty of play. If we could just get all 12 of you from legs 1 and 2 playing together in the same leg it would be great!

avongirl Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Congratulations to Ian who bags the double points win and takes the top spot in the league with it. So pleased that PokerStars let you back in! Muttley's 2nd place also lifts him up into 2nd overall, with Marek holding onto the final podium spot Double points seems to have drawn in the players with this final leg achieving the highest number of the month, and good to see the overall total improving too. Thank you to all who played As we've finished early this month we're planning to do a 'fun' game next week. Will give @ian309 the winner's choice of what variant we play. ian309 and LIKE2FISH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the living proof that even a blind squirrel will eventually find a nut As for the 'fun' game next week, my preference would be for Razz or Badugi, or even 2-7 Triple Draw, all great games, but I'm guessing they probably wouldn't get many takers. So unless there's a tidal wave of requests from members for one of these, how about PLO ? avongirl, AlbusFawkes and LIKE2FISH 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razz is maybe the easiest to pick up, for anyone unfamiliar with it? We could try a double header, I could set up a Razz and a PLO, $3 each. I'm away until Tuesday, see if we get any feedback, and I'll set something up then LIKE2FISH and ian309 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIKE2FISH Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I not played Razz for years! Depends how many games I have on, if I don't have too many then I be up for Razz & PLO! As I have to think a bit more playing Razz compared to NLHE :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avongirl Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 OK, I've gone for the double header with a staggered start. Razz at 8.00pm, can't remember if we used to tweak the structure when we played the variant league so it's just the normal 2000 chips, 10 min blinds. PLO starts at 8.10pm to give you chance to suss out how to play Razz a little before it sets off. I've left this at 2000 chips so it'll be quicker than when we play it in the league. I'm not sure if I'll be home in time to play tonight and don't want to pre-reg and spoil the dynamics, but hoping to make it for Razz time. ian309 and LIKE2FISH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIKE2FISH Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Sorry all, I wanted to play Razz as well as not played for ages! But I gotta keep wife happy so going to have to bail tonight as been playing quite a bit recently... Happy wife = Happy life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
