GaF Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Re: Betfred Premier League of Poker Well, at least we have plenty of experience on these kind of structures ;) Strategy will depend on number of entrants, but it does look like patience will be the key again.......

philossify Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Re: Betfred Premier League of Poker The main problem with this league (IMHO) is that it favours people who never have anything to do on a Friday night. Even boring old me occasionally gets out on a Friday :cheers - I think these tournaments are much better with a structure that only counts (say) your best 13 results. On the other hand.... with Friday night being a popular night out for many people then anyone who is prepared to forgo going out could have a profitable tournament. Does Betfred have many US players? With the time difference they'd be able to play and still have Friday nights out ;) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teazz Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Re: Betfred Premier League of Poker The tourny looks ok but I feel the same as philossify, it should be the best 13 results or similar. I go out every now then on a Friday night so the overall league will probably be no good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Re: Betfred Premier League of Poker Yes - agree with the format suggestions, however those of us who do make them all can benefit ;-) Depends on number of runners too - if there are 300 odd, missing a few wont matter too much - if there are 50 odd, then missing a few is huge!!!!!

Martyn@BF Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Re: Betfred Premier League of Poker Does Betfred have many US players? With the time difference they'd be able to play and still have Friday nights out ;) . Nope, we dont have any. As the States is a popular holiday destination for Fred, we as a company decided to ban US players from our site as a whole due to the current legal situation over there. The benefit of this is Fred can holiday there in peace without the fear of being arrested for tax evasion! I have sent your comments on to our poker manager. P.S. AvonGirl, you should see him on his 9 times table...AWESOME! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
