Galronix Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 When I was in Scotland last september visiting my family (Stranraer, sw coast) one of the pubs in the town held a weekly poker tourney on a sun nite...It's been bugging me how they got around the gambling laws to do this. It was £5 entry and the prize structure was the same as normal. Wouldn't it be good to do something local. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get 5 mins run, could you let me knoe how i did in the 2pm as i was late in and didn't get to see the placings before they wiped them. Gal I've got you scoring 177 points in the 2pm so you must have been 69th (out of 245). I managed 4th so have qualified for monday but that was mostly because I entertained no-one but sit-outs for a long while. In the 8pm today I have floundered for the second time in 2 days against someone raising every hand. Again not many playing so turn came round too often and his QJ turned into a str8 against my A 10. I may stop posting on this thread for a few days 'cos I am putting too much pressure on myself to get into the top 10 and the cracks are definitely starting to show. :wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runadrum Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Wise words mate (I sound like smashie, or is it nicey !). Anyway, thanks. I came upstairs with a cup of tea but I'm heading for a beer now. The git that got to me is out in 40th so the petty man that I am is happy that he hasn't qualified ;) .

SpurMan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Sommat to throw in the mix to you for opinions. And Sommat I need to vent my spleen on as I am really pissed off about it. :@:@:@:@:@:@:@ Seen this twice in the last couple of days, and that is people playing as someone else. Not talking about Simeons Missus playing when he's out at work, but have caught one guy playing his bro's account, cos he had gone out, and tonight one bod agreeing to play for someone else, while he is away, so he can qualify. Fair do's or not on? I say not on, since they are effectively playing two accounts. And they can nick points off us who are playing on our own merits!

SpurMan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 On a different note, kudos to Maxim. Won the book and shirt on Monday, and it arrived today.

SpurMan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 well played morl. :clap:clap Lot better than me (sassen frassen full house for oppo on river when I held nut flush!):wall:wall Not having a go at you mate. Think what really made me very angry was the fact they openly agreed it chatting at the table and they are doing well!!!. (Though I could use it for blackmail since I have a copy of the transcript!)

richygriff Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 30 something (or there abouts this afternoon.) 11th tonight which im happy about, lost a load of chips early on. Had a calling station on my table who couldnt be knocked of any pots and kept catching on the river. Didnt realise you were playing as your dad morl, liked the little touch of saying "wtg dad" :) now transfer those bluffing skills to the poker table.

runadrum Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 75th and 22nd today' date=' thats a fair few points today!!!! ( i make that 443? is that right runadrum?) [/quote'] Once I've scored each game I only save the points not the position. I've got you on 442 points for the day :clap and the 168 for the 2pm means I must have thought you were in 78th place. I do check them against the official leaderboard when updated. I have you 16th overall now, but you dropped one to 19th after the 2pm ! (leaderboard deleted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 thanks runadrum, your probably right where i finished at 2pm, for whatever reason 75 seemed to stick in my head. i just wish i was unemployed so i could play the 2pm games too, its just so unfair:gimme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to them!!:nana:nana[/quote'] I agree mate, my shirt and book arrived after a couple of weeks or so (with Christmas inbetween). One guy this afternoon however, Paintbal, must have won the first weekly final before I started and seemed to be saying that he had heard or received nothing as a result. I guess it was strange that there was no email first saying I had won something (albeit the lowest prize). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpurMan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 They only sent out the tickets after the top 10 on the leaderboard had been confirmed, as I was worried as I had seen nowt a few weeks after I won a WF. No reason to assume they will do any different this time round. Still, just hope we all get tickets!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpurMan Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 12th. Got clobbered halfway through the second hour by DaMatrix, who won it. Raised to 2000 with 77, to try to go heads up with Mr Sinister, only for DaMatrix to go all in. after consideration (2k was 40% of my stack) I folded, which was the right decision when he turned over AA (no 7 appeared on the board thankfully), but after that I never got any good cards at all. Still, was a cracking night. I think they should invite the top dozen from last year back myself :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc40 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 How far down did any prizes go ? It was 'winner take all' in the grand final runadrum. :( The winner got the main prize (£5k, entry into the 'VC Cup' live tournament, invites to a Maxim photo shoot + UK & US Maxim parties), plus all the prizes that were given to 2nd - 9th places in the Monday weekly finals. I think the final 3 players agreed that whoever won, would share the £5k cash, giving £1k each to 2nd & 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runadrum Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 ooooooh, so close :wall Maxim updated the leaderboard today and of course I went to my score first which was only one point different to my total so I thought it was looking good (I could easily have miscalculated by one). I then noticed they had duplicated my score (114 points) for the 2pm on 10th January so they have still not included the 113 missed earlier ! And it looks as if they have duplicated all the scores from the 2pm on 10/1. I can feel another email coming on ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
