Punters Lounge Exclusive £150 added Poker League - February Champion - RHINO_POWER

[avongirl]

The Punters Lounge £150 added Poker League for February will run over the next 4 weeks on Wednesday nights. 

We are going to trial a couple of changes to see if we can improve the number taking part.  The start time has been put back 5 minutes to 8.15pm, there will still be 20 mins late registration, but please note that the game does not run unless a minimum of 2 are registered at the start time.  We will also try with a common stack of 5000 chips for all 4 legs.

The £150 added by Punters Lounge is shared between the top 3 in the league at the end of the month. Games start at 8.15pm, with a 20min late registration period on top of this, however players are encouraged to register for the start time to ensure there are sufficient players for the games to run.  All games are played in the PokerStars Home Games PL Poker Club. 

The format is a NLHE 5000 chip tourney in Legs 1, 2 and 4.   Leg 3 is our PLO Leg with 5000 chips.

 > Leg 1 : Wednesday 5th February at 20.15 GMT in the PL Poker Club Home Game - NLHE 5000 chips

 > Leg 2 : Wednesday 12th February at 20.15 GMT - NLHE 5000 chips

 > Leg 3 : Wednesday 19th February at 20.15 GMT - PLO 5000 chips

 > Leg 4 : Wednesday 26th February at 20.15 GMT - 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 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.

Games are set up now and tonight's is open for registration.

If you would like the final game to still have a longer format than the other legs, we have an option of Slow blind structure (15mins rather than our normal 10).  Let me know if you want to try that this month and I'll amend the game.
