Black Country Poker Club, this seems like the right place!

[clynd99]

I think all members of the Walsall Regional team, should be aware of our club, a monthly league held in the area between recreational players.
I was thinking we could keep updates and such here, close to those who will be using it and where new players may become interested.
For more details get in touch with either Brian BOINGBLITZ or anyone of us who bang on about the monthly bad beats and sick folds.

Now, questions for our leader!

Brian, well done on the Vegas trip win, when will you be going and will it co-incide with any BCPC nights?
Did ou make note of my payment for next month seeing as I"m not going to be there for the Feb game?
Can you copy our league table up on here for referral please?
Do we have to agree before the final round of games which tourney we are playing to win entry for, or is it down to the eventual winner?

Thanks!

yep missed that - nice one Bri!!

Qualify for Vegas - shame about Walsall

[BOINGBLITZ]

Well done Chris.....excellent idea to put the League stuff in this spot.
I should tell you that I have e-mailed ALL new Walsall signings about our club and so far we have FOUR players who have said they will be there for week one of season two in May ! (plus a few interested parties from the Brummie mob !)

Now for your questions.....

1. The Vegas trip is currently scheduled from June 27 to July 11 but this wont be confirmed until the WSOP dates are confirmed.
  My plan for next season anyway is to sit down at the end-of-season AGM in April and ask everyone if they know of any dates that they cannot make for the following season and then, if possible, we will miss those dates out. One of the "new signings" is away for what would be one of our regular dates so I will try and work around that one fo instance.

2. Yes, I have noted your payment for last month.

3. As for the tourney that the eventual winner will play in, that will be the GCBPT event unless the winner wishes to play in an alternative event. If he does then 75% of the members have to agree to change it as he is playing for them too.
  There is a GUKPT event in this seasons summer series that has a £550 buy-in and is at Walsall on June 27th. Now to me, this sounds like a perfect event to enter as it is local and takes place on a Saturday. THAT though, is down to the winner.

Nice league table update Brian, better save that as next season I"ll be hoping my name is riding high on the top of the leaderboard  

[BOINGBLITZ]

Still many hands to play this season yet Dan.

[clynd99]

Damn it"s tight at the top!

I"m not going to be there for week 4, but after week 5 am I right in thinking that it will only be everyones top 4 finishes that count towards their league standings?

I can see us all standing around after week 5"s game figuring out exactly how the final game has to finish for each of us to win!

[BOINGBLITZ]

you are correct Chris......only best 4 finishes to count for placings, though in the event of a tie, ALL placings count for tie-breaker purposes.

[cincicrappykid]

WOW..... That Tony Trippier looks good , and he is good looking too , i bet he wins he is way more skillfull ...... from anon   :as:  The Nuts,,,,,

[BOINGBLITZ]

LMFAO !!!!!!

[BOINGBLITZ]

Just to let you know guys, that through posting on here and e-mailing interested parties, we now have another SEVEN players who look likely to be joining us for the start of Season Two in May. If they all do then that will give us enough to give a GCBPT entry to the top TWO players.
  Looks like the BCPC is here to stay.

[clynd99]

What about more seats and different events?

Obv we"d go for a GCBPT event for first place £550 buy in, but the DTD monthly £300 with £50k gtd, and £150 with £10k gtd, have just made European ranking status. Not that thats much to scream about but paying a 1 2 3 in this way seems like a good idea to me, and it would get BCPC players out there a bit more.

I"d also be up for scheduling other meets to have a single play off for other events, if enough of us can get together and agree on it, with the same share rules as the league season. For example I know Walsall occassionally throw out some random £200 buy-in events, so if ten of us could get together we could play a £20 game.

I know that Stoke used to throw out some decent deep-stack events, and thats only up the road, haven"t checked for ages though.

The above would also give new players or current players mates or whatever the chance to check it out without comminting to a whole season, and still get a stake in the winner on that night.

Excellent idea!!!!  Biggie for 1st, then slightly lower for 2nd and 3rd (and 4th?) - spot on.

Re individual satellite - would be more than happy, but if only one seat up for grabs, the winner takes all makes it a tough game, that might have more interest if it"s a double buy in - half for the sit and go, and half for the sat..... ie one off night for £40 - 10x£20 to make up a seat, and and 10x£20 to make up a prize pool.   Perhaps schedule 1 of these prior to the start of the next season as a "get to know you" for any new players.
