If you're good enough in the daily tournaments, the top players each week get to compete in a qualifier round every Monday night at 8pm for a place in April's grand final! The first weekly final takes place on Monday 5 December at 8pm, so you'd better get playing!" AND check out who won last years.. http://www.maxim-magazine.co.uk/front_advertorials/kingofpoker/champion.php It's only The Leopard's brother!! Apologies if this has been discussed already btw, I did a quick search and found nothing..:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayward2k Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Is this for free or do you have to buy in daily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friskyfitz Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 cant see it listed anywhere on the site........ Must you download the software DIRECTLY from their link?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippyuk Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 I had to reinstall the VC Poker software using the link on Maxim until I could see the weekly final.. also notice they haven't listed all of the week's qualifiers in the same way that The Sun's was set up - perhaps to minimise the number of sitouts this time. hayward: Yep, free to enter.

2damnhype Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Thanks Rippy Will try and give this one a go, but do you get any grief if you already have a tribeca account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMatrix Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Hi all, my first post at PL. Enjoyed meeting some of you guys in London. I've put some pictures up of the Sun Final on my blog: http://damatrixpoker.blogspot.com/. As Rippy mentioned, I won the Maxim KOP last year. The qualification is the same as for the Sun Final (Daily Qualifiers, Weekly final, Leaderboard etc) but instead of just 9 players there will be about 36 in the Maxim final in April 2006 I think. So plenty of time and seats for PL'ers to qualify ;) Regards, The Leopard's brother lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayward2k Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 When do the qualifiers for the weekly final run. I just tried to register for the final but i guess you have to qualify first. :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Ok - just embarased myself with life help when I couldn't register for tonights game - turns out I was trying to register for the weekly final :$ So far as downloading gos - no need to uninstall your existing VC Poker software or set up a new account. You must download the Maxim Software (looks like it installs the Maxim Skin over the VC Skin) - then you can log onto this with your existing VC or Sun-Poker login!!!!

PAULM03 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 So do they not have a qualifier on a monday? It's still not listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayward2k Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 I'm confused. I have downloaded and signed up. As far as I can see you need to qualify for the weekly final which is every Monday. I presume qualifers for the final run from Tuesday-Sunday each week.

PAULM03 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 I think a few of us have qualified for the weekly final already. I finished 5th in the afternoon qualifier, getting caught out slowplaying my straight when someone caught their fullhouse on the river. Does anyone know how the points system works on the leaderboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Nice one Paul - I didn't realise there was a qualifier this afternoon. I'll get them all in the diary for tomorrow. leaderboard? Like the Sun one that Fenner won? :unsure Haven't seen anything on that - time for me to go back to the site and read I think!!!!

GaF Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 http://www.maxim-magazine.co.uk/front_advertorials/kingofpoker/howtoq.php How to qualify for the Maxim King of Poker finals! So how do you get a seat at the poker party of the year? Easy, in fact there are so many routes to poker stardom you won't even need a map. Here's how to get your piece of the action: Win one of our weekly tournaments From 5th December , Monday nights are Maxim King of Poker nights. Make sure you're in the weekly final as the winner will go straight to April's star-studded final. And your money's no good here you know; the only way to get a place in the weekly final is by qualifying in one of the two, yes two, free tournaments that are running every day at 14:00 and 20:00 GMT. And with the top 27 from each of these going forward to the Monday final, even the world's worst poker player has got a decent shot. Back to top Win a monthly prize draw If you can't win it using your poker skills, you can always try relying on blind luck. Everyone who plays in any daily qualifier will automatically be entered into our monthly prize draw Back to top Qualify through the leaderboard Each week we'll be running a leaderboard that show's how well you're doing (or not). If you're in the top ten come March then you'll be playing in poker's most glamorous competition. Back to top Collect the most action points Every time you play poker for real money at VC Poker, you earn action points. And, if by March, you're the top action point collector, you're coming to the party to play for poker glory! Back to top Be the King of the Cash Games It's not all about tournaments. Be the King of the Cash Games - that is, win more than anyone else - to book your place at the poker event in April. Back to top Win our monthly bounty tournament Each month we'll be running a special bounty tournament where one poor sod will be nominated as a "bounty". It's your job to knock them out of the tournament; do so, and you're coming to the Maxim King of Poker finals. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to top Worth highlighting this (cheers Fenners :ok) - as it is a GREAT chance for any of us to qualify - if you have the time (this runs twice a day till March :loon), then you should do well!! Top 10 (who haven't qualified by other means) will go through!!! Lets fill those spaces for PL!!!!!!! Also - if anyone wants to help promote PL - the Tribeca software allows you to edit your location - I think putting "PuntersLounge.com" really helped us attract some (quality) members during the Sun tourney - would be good if we could do the same here :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayward2k Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 GAF thought it would be a good idea to put the times they run each day. Hopefully they won't change start times of them at the last minute, unlike some pikey sites. :@ :@ :wall :wall Tournament start times each day are - 2pm 8pm Nice idea with the players record table :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Gave it a go - problems with laptop so I didn't play in the first hour, needed a couple of all-ins to get my stack up when I finally started playing, which I won, and then played safe to get in the top 27. 150 entries tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run Dmc Vs Pat Nevin Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Busted out about 90th or so. Had 77 and just couldn't put it down. I probably could have coasted into the top 27 by sitting out once I'd won a few pots, but that seemed like a bit of a gay way to play.
