To be fair they've been hounding Poker sites for years. The US is just upset because theyre not reciveing taxes from these sites!

All these sites have just migrated to .co.uk domains and carried on trading though

Yeah **** america!!

I've really got to get more consistent at remembering to register for a tournament, instead all too often I wonder why I haven't been transferred to the table when the tourny starts!!

Lemin · 2 Aug 2011 at 19:38

DAIR · 7 Aug 2011 at 08:24

Well done to everyone, wish i could have joined in this year, but have been working shifts, so have not had a chance.

Hopefully next time

Is anyone up for doing a second season this year?

dirtychinchilla · 13 Aug 2011 at 13:27

If there is a second season I'd like to join

Magpie2121 · 21 Aug 2011 at 19:22

Would love to join too

tombrr · 22 Aug 2011 at 11:20

Was expecting a higher response to this but maybe it just needs a new thread being made to make people more aware of it.

I'm more than happy to organise it if BlackVault wants to take a rest from it

Hi Everyone. Sorry I missed all the responses. Who reads the stickies?!

We can do a second season if people wish, as it would give us time to test out new poker clients in preparation for next year.

I see Noto had a suggest similar to a "Premier League"

Actually i remember now its expanded a bit.

Premier league tourny is like this. Lets assume its 10 games then a winner takes all event. In those 10 qualifying games. Winner gets say 10 points. 2nd 8points, 3rd 6points etc.

Then the top 9 re-invited for winner takes all final table. each 1 point = a set amount of chips (say 200chips). So after 10 games, if #1 has 100 points, he has 100 x 200 chips. So the person on top of the 10 qualifying games will have the most chips at the final table. To reflect on his league position and rewards those who play well during Quali..

NOt sure if this is possible to set chip stacks...

I'd be up for giving this a run over say 8 weeks plus the final and if we like it we could roll it out for next year's competition?

I'll write up a new thread regarding the options when I get home but this thread will do for the time being.

Regards,

Blackvault

Started to get used to this guy after a few hands.

Had a feeling he was being way over aggressive on a few hands, this one was similar.
