nufc40 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Does any one remember how far down the leader board they extended the invites to the final last year??? I finished 19th in the leaderboard last year, and got invited to the grand final as an 'alternate', with the possibility of playing if there were spare seats on the night. I don't know how far down the leaderboard this went, but there were a good 10-15 alternates there on the night, and I think all of us got to play. :clap I'm making a habit of qualifying on a Tuesday now, 11th place tonight. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc40 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 In last years Maxim tourament, there was an extra week of 8pm games the Mon-Fri before the grand final, with 10 seats available, one going to each daily winner, and one to the player who knocked out the bounty player each day. They may do the same this year, so thats something to keep an eye out for. And it was only during the very last Friday game (the grand final was the following Wednesday), that I learnt from the bounty (who was getting a real grilling about who had/hadn't qualified :lol )that my mate 'Gudgeon' had actually qualified for the final as one of the 'highest monthly movers' (don't think they're doing it this time though). He didn't even know himself, he found out when he got a hurried text from Morlspin! The next day, he got the tickets in the post, and I got an email inviting me to attend the final as an alternate. So be prepared for the possibility of arranging a trip to London at very short notice! :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 I knocked the bounty out in that last friday game, and as as nufc says, be prepared to book up in a hurry! I actually received my tickets on the wednesday morning (same day of the tourney!), which was a bloody pain as i was leaving for london 2 hrs later, if they hadnt have arrived, i dunno if id have went..... Nufc, when you got a reserve spot, were you allowed to bring anyone? as i think thats my best way in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc40 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Nufc' date=' when you got a reserve spot, were you allowed to bring anyone? as i think thats my best way in[/quote'] I don't think the invite was for a guest as well, but I can't remember 100%. I never actually received any ticket(s), but I was going as Gud's guest anyway, and just said I was on the alternate list as we were going into Pacha, then confirmed it with Mopi when we were inside.

However, I think the reason for the extra games was only because they 'forgot' to run the bounty tourneys each month. So they ran them all in one go when they realised. As they are running the bounties properly this time, they may not do the extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called with naff all and got exactly what he deserved (for once) Unlucky is getting disconnected from VC two lunchtimes in a row & yet again losing my blind & small-blind in the process. Not only that but it then forced me to update my software before I could get back on. My internet connection seemed OK but VC still didn't work so had to quickly start up my other PC and repeat the software update to continue. Annoying :wall :wall . Plus still haven't qualified :cry after betting my nicely flopped two pair quite strongly and idiots calling I folded on river worried about a flush & full house only to find out I would have won ... grr I hate this points game.. had to slow play from that point on.
