robilaruk Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Anyone up for poker in Stoke on Sunday? what time is this likely to finish? and scalps? wassat then Damo EDIT hang on - it got to finish by 9:45 right? DOH!! 12K in chips in 3 hours? wow - short blind levels - or do they just move the final couple of tables elsewhere and start up the 9:45 event?

slapdash Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Anyone up for poker in Stoke on Sunday? scalps? wassat then I'm not sure, but I think it means that Mr V has promised to shave his head if Sam wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Anyone up for poker in Stoke on Sunday? I'm not sure, but I think it means that Mr V has promised to shave his head if Sam wins. Spot on. :ok :D No hang on... :wall It means that all players get bounty chip. You knock a player out and win their chip, so if you knock 5 players out but finish outside the money you have practically got your money back as once they have been won by you no one else can take them off you. It will probably mean 20 minute blinds tbh which does mean faster than ideal action. I asked the card room manager why all there tournies have a part where it seems to turn into a crapshoot as the blinds bite and he honestly said its necessary to thin people out and help the tourney progress. However, even though there's another tourney later I will be very surprised if he doesn't let the first one run its course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robilaruk Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Anyone up for poker in Stoke on Sunday? Thanks V - so 25/50 to start then 50/100, 100/200 etc hmmmm need to square this with the missus however...... I AM VERY VERY KEEN TO PLAY hmmmm need a decent bribe - anyone got any ideas? Damo ps more questions! how many players normally - how many get paid etc and - if I do turn up maybe we should have a side bet - first PL'er out has to get their head shaved!!!!!!!!! :lol am sure we can get some cash of everyone and give it to comic relief - what do you think folks?

Valiant23 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Anyone up for poker in Stoke on Sunday? I would but at my time of life hair is a privilege not a right! :$ I'd imagine there'll be about 70+ there (guessing) with top 8 or so paid. Saying that the freezeouts are getting more popular so there could be more. Decent bribe? Half of any potential winnings? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robilaruk Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Re: Anyone up for poker in Stoke on Sunday? nice to catch up with Sam, Andy, Aaron and Jones's tonight (and nice win on the footie for Sam :clap ) out in about 25th or so, so beat half the field - Top pair and nut flush draw vs top two pair on the flop - oh well no flush for me! - Sam out before me and the other 3 going strong. nice casino, good structure and very friendly - well worth a visit if you get a chance (and dead easy to get to from the A50 as well - only took me an hour) Just so you know - from next Sunday its going to be a £40 buy-in rather than £20 to generate 'something worth winning' as the boss put it so I'll probably play only 1/month now (unless i have a good week online!)

Valiant23 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: Anyone up for poker in Stoke on Sunday? In the scalp tourney I came 3rd for £140, and Sam finished 2nd in the £20 turbo for £70. :cow :cow :cow It was a good night and a good tourney and nice to meet up with Arran, Karl and Damo again, although the four of us were stood at the bar looking out for Damo only to find out he was up t'other end of the casino watching footy. :eyes :lol The scalping idea along with it being a double chance freezeout was a good one as a lot of people cashed in £5 or £10 to get something back, although I felt for the guy at the final table who managed to get there without knocking anyone out AND he ended up finishing outside the money. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftpegasus Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: Anyone up for poker in Stoke on Sunday? Great Night guys :clap even if it went on longer than I anticipated - hoping for a quiet day at work so I can catch up on some sleep. Well, I was the lucky one as originally only the Top 5 were getting paid. When we got down to the last 6 the offer of paying the Top 6 was put before us, and, as the short stack, I was first in there with my vote of yes! Everyone agreed and I thought it would loosen the table up a bit but there didn't appear to be much bluffing going on. Eventually the blinds started to bite and I had to make a couple of 'loose' moves in order to keep a stack worth anything. Got away with it once (sorry Andy :spank) but when dealt A9 in early position I was called by AK, and I couldn't administer another bad beat to pull it out of the hat. What a great casino! For our £2 tournament fee they give you dealers on every table, free drinks brought to your table and a free buffet. It really must cost them money to put on these tournaments. All credit to them. Nice to meet old faces and new. And Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs V - a nice profit for the day for both of you :D (Sam, when are you going to start posting your football tips???)
