avongirl Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Virgin Cash Poker - Scottish Poker Championships Are we letting Mole in this. :unsure I think he might just scrape one of the seats if he does take part. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Virgin Cash Poker - Scottish Poker Championships A couple of small changes to the structure of the competition. Full details in the main thread. 1) The final has been changed to Tuesday 12th June, 20:00 BST. I appreciate this will benefit some, and will be of annoyance to others, however felt that the clash with the InsidePoker final would discount too many. I apologise to those not suited by the new date and time. 2) The cash leaderboard has been split. 3 Seats now for the highest rake. 2 Seats for the most raked hands. The top 3 rakers can not win a raked hands seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philossify Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Virgin Cash Poker - Scottish Poker Championships A few questions..... 1. Is there any way for an existing player (i.e. me) to get signed up for rakeback. Have noticed several rakeback offers on t'internet but think these only apply to new players. Obviously anybody playing with a rakeback deal in this comp has an advantage. 2. I'll probably go for the number of raked hands route rather than the total rake route - what counts as a raked hand? Is it a-la-SO with any hand that you participate in where any size of rake is taken that counts? Or is it only hands where rake is 0.25 or above (5 unit pot)? 3. Is there any relationship between FPPs (as displayed on screen) and raked hands? If not, how do I figure out my raked hands? 4, Besides V-Points (which get acquired for cash games) - is there any other use FPPs and/or raked hands can be put to (like the 50Up on SO)?

GaF Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Virgin Cash Poker - Scottish Poker Championships 1) Virgin give V Points to everyone - this is a form of rakeback. When players get onto higher level of rake ($750/$1000 per month) then they will consider you for a higher level of rakeback. Joe will be happy to hear from anyone playing at this level. How do you think that players on rakeback have an advantage in this tournament? 2) If you play (and enter through this thread), then you will be considered on both routes :ok Hands from all real money cash tables count. For a hand to be classed as raked the player must contribute to the pot and still be in the hand when the flop is dealt. 3) There is no relationship between FPPs and the number of raked hands. To know how you are doing in the tourney, you will be dependant on daily updates from Joe and myself. Remember these updates are positional only - they will not show the number of raked hands. If you want to know your number of raked hands, I believe PokerResponse can tell you at any point in time. 4) V Points are acquired for all real money play, not just cash games (though acquired faster on cash games). FPPs are a Boss (not Virgin) addition. They intention is that they will be available for things like tournament buy ins. They are however not yet active.

voiceofjoe Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Virgin Cash Poker - Scottish Poker Championships If I sign up on 17th May - i presume any raked hands i may have gleaned between 11th-17th May still count towards the final total ??

GaF Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Virgin Cash Poker - Scottish Poker Championships Yes :ok All hands played in the qualifying period will count ...... you wont know where you stand though if you dont sign up till later...... (and what if you forget on the last day/your internet goes down?) - not sure there's any real advantage to reg'ing at the last minute - but feel free to try all the "tactics" you wish :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
