Dodger Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Re: eSport UK Pro Poker League - Extra chances Think I'll just stick to our own game...would feel terrible if I ended up playing for some other team and costing PLers money later on by taking them out of future games.

GaF Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Re: eSport UK Pro Poker League - Extra chances Ive just been thinking too. Instead of us all playing 12 games, why dont we stagger ourselves over the 12 games? We all play the PL game and then for every 5 players who are playing, we all play different games, making the tourneys smaller and giving a lot better chance to everyone of making it? If there are 5 non PL players in each game, we're far better off add ing 40 PL'rs and going for all 10 seats than adding 5 PLrs and taking just the 5 .... I think our best shot is many tables, with a few early double ups (or bust outs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be PL'rs in every team - with a bit of luck we can create more than one exclusive PL team - I think your priority should be to qualify for the Pro League and then worry about what team you're in afterwards....

runadrum Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Re: eSport UK Pro Poker League - Extra chances Have there been a round of qualifiers already so that each team already has 5 players ? Didn't Alex say somewhere in one of the threads that there are usually 2 qualifiers with top 5 from each getting through ? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISL- Alexander Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Re: eSport UK Pro Poker League - Extra chances Normally there should run two qualifiers. From each qualifier the best 5 users would have been chosen for the team. But for the reason there will be only one qualifier tonight, the 10 best players will be playing for the Team.

GaF Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Re: eSport UK Pro Poker League - Extra chances if we are scattered across ten diff teams with some of there original players hows that going to work out We are guaranteed one PL exclusive team - we get that no matter what. Beyond that I will talk to them afterwards to see what we can do - my objective/hope will be to consolidate PL'rs into exclusive teams (From PL'rs who want to be consolidated :tongue2) - how many teams? Well that depends on how many qualify.... However even if that isn't possible, PL'rs will still benefit from this, even scattered across many teams.... (indeed if we have representatives in all teams, it guarantees us winners ;) ) I do think the other players signed up though are gamers and not poker players, so we should have a significant edge over them....

GaF Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Re: eSport UK Pro Poker League - Extra chances Is it just me or is the whole thing starting to look like a joke? :unsure It hasn't been particularly well organised - I'm sure Alexander/eSport will be the first to admit that - why? They've had problems internally which led to this being pretty seriously under promoted in the UK - this has only been handed over to Alexander in the last couple of days for him to try and save the league - he has had a couple of days to try and get enough players on board to save the pro league (i.e. fill it and allow the competition to continue) - ultimately they need the pro league full, but are seriously up against time pressures - there will be 100 players in the pro league - if 50 of them are PL'rs? That's great for us - because the prizes are valuable - and for freerolls too (you'll NEVER play a higher value freeroll), but it's good for them too - because they get the players to continue the league... Remember, this was played out, successfully in Germany last season, the issues here are solely promotional/time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, this was played out, successfully in Germany last season, the issues here are solely promotional/time My decision to take part is based purely on the fact that they have You so clearly behind them. Still have reservations though taking part in a (previously, and with good reason) blacklisted poker site. The fact that goalposts are moving worries me too. Personally I bow to your judgement and hope all worries prove totally wrong. GL ALL those players that managed to actually get in :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Re: eSport UK Pro Poker League - Extra chances My decision to take part is based purely on the fact that they have You so clearly behind them. I've spent a LOT of time on MSN with Alexander this weekend and he has persuaded me that it's worthwhile playing - I genuinely believe it is in PLrs best interests to play these games - then we can take it from there.... Remember, these games are 100% freerolls, so the risks at this stage are minimal ... there's not too much to lose, but a hell of a lot to gain....

I'm really starting to hate Aces. Can't win with them, can't win against them. Oh well. :sad PS: My chat wasn't working either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
