avongirl Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Happy New Year to all our Punters Lounge poker players. Thank you to each and every one of you who have contributed to the Forum and who have played and supported the League. We continue on for January with the Punters Lounge £150 added Poker League, running for the next 4 weeks on Wednesday nights. The £150 added by PL 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 4th January at 20.10 GMT in the PL Poker Club Home Game - NLHE 3000 chips > Leg 2 : Wednesday 11th January - NLHE 3000 chips > Leg 3 : Wednesday 18th January - PLO 5000 chips > Leg 4 : Wednesday 25th January - 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.£150 Added Value 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.Punters Lounge MerchandiseYou can now win unlimited Punters Lounge merchandise, even if you have won them before.

ian309 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Apologies to those (and there were many), who I subjected to bad beats tonight. I was playing a few tourneys simultaneously and some of my decisions were made in a bit of a rush. I couldn't see who was throwing them but at one point I was being pelted with virtual 'horseshoes' from all directions avongirl and muttley 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Well done to Ian who won leg 2 last week and is now leading the way in the league table, followed by Muttley with 2 podium finishes. Tonight is our favourite 4-card, play any hand in position, PLO leg! It starts at 8.10pm with 20 minute late registration period added. 5000 chips, see if you can make it to the break.

avongirl Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Well done to McG who took the PLO win last week Not quite enough yet to get onto the podium positions which are currently held by the consistent three who have basically sewn up the weekly podium spots so far. Ian still at the top, can anyone else break his hold on the crown! Final leg is tonight, usual 8.10pm start with 20mins added late reg. It's NLHE with 5000 chip stack McG, LIKE2FISH and muttley 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 On oxygen at the first break, on about 2,000 chips, 9th of 9, then was lucky to double up v Nessy when my AQo (AIPF) hit a Queen and his AsKs didn’t improve. That was the start of a belting streak as I did my best impression of one of Muttley’s pigeons with a cloak of invincibility. Goes to show that you can miss the first week and still finish in the top 3. ian309 and LIKE2FISH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just top 3, by my calculations you've smashed it (again), with back-to-back league titles LIKE2FISH and McG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avongirl Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 HMRC kept happy for another year and tax form done so it's back to poker for me McG made it 2 on the trot with the win last week and leapfrogs the podium straight back onto the champs throne for another month. Ian and muttley slip down a spot and Rivrd is, erm, well... rivered out of the added cash by one point. It does prove though that you don't need to win a week to get into the added money with muttley (and Rivrd) having consistent podium finishes over the month. Big thank you to everyone for playing this month, we're back tonight with Feb league, the games are set up and I'm just getting the thread up January Winners 1st @McG £75 + PL Mug and Pens 2nd @ian309 £45 3rd @muttley £30 I'll arrange the payments The Announcement didn't take much editing from last month, well done on back to back top spots for @McG and @ian309! ian309 and McG 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
