Guest gazza271 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Right folks back in November we had a heads up tourny thanks to the generosity of SLAPDASH :clap Tonight on PL we have had a private game and i have just watched an epic HU between Mr V and Pokerrose Any interest in a PL HU Tourny ? I dont mind organising it if people come up with suggestions for buy in/prize fund etc The last tourny can be seen here; http://www.punterslounge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21226&highlight=heads I know since November i feel my own HU game has improved a lot, How about it folks ? I'm going to bed in a minute, express your interest here and if enough i will sort it out :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelopeys Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: Pl Heads Up Tourny I think it is a brilliant idea Gaz :clap And I am sure the mods think so too. I would say... go a head and pick a day, and those who are able to play will play :ok I also would suggest a small buy in, such as $ 3... and maybe a kind of group play, or that everybody plays eachother once, depending on how many contestants. Good luck organising it :ok Pene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAULM03 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: Pl Heads Up Tourny I'd be interested again. Big Andy arranged it last time, maybe it would be worth digging up the old thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: Pl Heads Up Tourny I'm up for this. My heads up record in MTT's is dreadful - been in the final two 15 times - and only ever won 2 - so I need practice!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: Pl Heads Up Tourny I'd be up for it. I thought the knock-out format we had last November (best-of-three matches, if I remember correctly) worked pretty well. What do other people think? By the way, why were there so many poker players checking out my thread in Systems and Strategy this afternoon? To see how my horseracing tips were doing? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate and was thinking of using that format again, will wait for a bit more interest and then get things moving :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Andy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: Pl Heads Up Tourny Yeah, another tourney would be great:ok Betfred looked after us fantastically last time. The same format is fine by me. gazza, just yell if you need any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: Pl Heads Up Tourny I think one improvement might be to increase it to best-of-5 for the semis and final (or even best-of-5 for the semis and best-of-7 for the final). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Stuart Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny Id be up for this providing the games were to be played at a client i can actually use, I cant play at betfred or mansion as they wont let me deposit :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant23 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny El Stuart, do you have an e-wallet? If not why not? and if you want to know which one, try Neteller. Betfred accept them. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColU_FC Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny How about running it at Poker770? Same network as BetFred and we've all got money there following their promo codes. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same network as BetFred and we've all got money there following their promo codes. :ok not any more :nana deposited and withdrew! id say easiest is prima, that way we can all make our own tables and then start when we like!

Valiant23 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny Well, for me I'd suggest Betfred, as they were very good at setting up last years at very short notice. Also I think it was sorted f.o.c., and cost nothing to play. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny Nice one Gazza :clap :clap Count me in!!! (and let me know if you want any help :ok) You're prefering the first format (knockout) over the second format (league)? Would work on Prima or Betfred (if Martyn could get us our own private table again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Stuart Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny El Stuart, do you have an e-wallet? If not why not? and if you want to know which one, try Neteller. Betfred accept them. :ok I tried to open a neteller account once before but i didnt have the necessary ID proof of who i was, they required a driving license or passport number...of which i have neither :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny Just thinking of format - rather than 3 or 5 games - how about 1 game but very deep stack - 10,000 chips or something? (assuming that can arranged somewhere) - I would have more conifdence in that deciding the best player, than 3 or 5 "crapshoots" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny I thought the heads-ups tourneys on Betfred were OK in terms of blind structure, but the Prima ones were rather "crapshootish". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rippyuk Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny Up for this too.. Went through a phase of playing the Boss $10 HU tourney, knockout can be really frustrating to play when you get fully sucked out on after dominating the round.

avongirl Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny I'd be interested in joining in if it's a reasonable buy in (no more than $5 for me!) and not on Betfred, Poker770 or any others on that network as I cannot get them to run on my PC. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gazza271 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: PL Heads Up Tourny Right folks been working last few days so let this slip. I think the knock-out tourny is the way to go and when all interested parties are in then a draw can be made up, I will do the draw something like giving everyone a number then via MSN getting GaF/PL/PR/MRV to pick numbers. Thinking maybe best of three for the intial stages then maybe 5 and 7 for semi's/final Moneywise may be best to have something like a $1 buy in for each game so altho no money payout at the end the winners of each leg will all pick up some money. Table/site wise open to suggestions, BF were very good to us last time :clap , giving us private password protected tables so that could be another avenue. Prima network i believe allows us to set up private tables that are also password protected. It's gonna be tough keeping everyone happy so let me know your thoughts/preferences here. Looking to start the ball rolling withing the first couple of weeks of August so allows more people to see the thread and register an interest.

Dave Mardell Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: Pl Heads Up Tourny By the way, why were there so many poker players checking out my thread in Systems and Strategy this afternoon? To see how my horseracing tips were doing? :unsure Now I know where I recognise the username. Knew it was familiar. Were you not around when this was still a small forum on the back of Ollie's "Football-Punter" website - circa 2001-2? That was before Paul became the big man on campus. I mighta even been here before him (haw!) - but Im not quite sure. I know he had a tips service running back then It really is ammazing how much this place has grown over the years. Good work paul. Wow tangent :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
