Tweetypie05 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Has anybody played in these yet? I played last night (badly) and was very interested (annoyed) that 80% of my table were non-British players (mostly Hungarians strangely enough). Why is that SO/BOSS cannot remove these players from their 'British' tournaments? On paradise it is only the British players as far as I can tell. I just found it ridiculous that they do nothing to stop this. I e-mailed SO and they said it cannot be done for the freerolls but the qualifiers will be vetted for nationality! Should be easy... there will only be a few from the UK! Does anybody know why they cannot vet the players before the game or is it just that they don't want to? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmcroft Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: Best of British? I have no answers to your questions tweetie but I have qualified for the weekly final, so will probably only have to beat a dozen or so then :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: Best of British? Yes - on Boss, the weekly final is full of non UK nationals - could be a REALLY good one to get into if they are going to kick them all out..... As mentioned before - with 100 raked hands, last night, there were only 18 entrants, with 10 qualifying (and most of the qualifiers were non UK !!)

Tweetypie05 Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Re: Best of British? Sadly I limped weakly out in 9th! :\ Some bugga (Phil) kept raising my blinds towards the end... not that I had much! Was getting some real beauties... J3o, T2o etc. Ended up calling a raise with K9o... as 3/4 of my chips were already in! I know this should probably be in the strategy section but what hands would you be calling with when you have 4xBB and there has been a raiser and caller which would put you all-in? Would you call with A6 off? (I didn't but wish I had after but that's hindsight for you!) This was near the end of the competetion with 20 left in and top 5 'paid'. I realise I had should have moved earlier but getting hit up for 2 BB and SB in 6 hands (moved table) halved my stack very quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Re: Best of British on SO The Best of British series has been pulled on Boss because of the inability of Boss to control entries from non British players ...... They are working on it and say it will be back in May on Boss "Bigger and Better" :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
