National League - Season 5 Week 1

[MintTrav]

Hey everyone - it"s that time! The new league starts this Sunday 3 April - 8pm.

We did incredibly well in the last league, just being edged out into second place overall in the last game. There were only two teams in the running, with us having more than double the points of the third-placed team:

Division 1                      Points                                                              
1st    Walsall                    19          
2nd   Solent                     15          
3rd    Liverpool                   6          
4th    Bristol                      5            
5th    Cardiff                     4          
6th    Birmingham               4            
7th    Belfast                     3            
8th    Stockton-on-Tees     2
9th    Edinburgh                 2            
10th   Manchester              0            

We have a cracking team and I am hopeful we can perform just as well this time round. A couple of large teams have come up from Division 2, so we need everyone to play as many games as possible. If you know anyone who may be interested in joining us, please bring them in.

The games will be played on the 888poker site this time, so players need to register there and post their 888 name on the Solent sign-up thread: SOLENT. This has to be done before the game starts or any points scored don"t count.

Remember to register for the correct tournament - we are in Division 1 and the password for the game is apatdiv1

Let"s do it!

I"ll post our guys who are playing for us tonight on here in bit, when I"ve worked them out.

Been a bit distracted this evening, but back with it now. I believe we have 22 players running for Solent this evening, as below. No doubt I have missed someone.

1st break and only 2 of the 43 eliminated were ours.

steveinhants, abastinado, Esc2Victory, wightline, RedAxeWound and skippylppl all in the top 30.

AK v AK. Didn"t end well for me.

Back in the pack, but still with a solid stack

[MintTrav]

Pepper3000 is ours too. Why do I always miss you, Gary?

We"ve lost several more now, but then half the field has been knocked out already.

[MintTrav]

Don"t remember it being as fast as this before - 140 eliminated out of 216 at the second break.

Of the 76 left, we have 8:

9 Perrygarl
17 MintTrav
22 abastinado
30 wightline
47 steveinhants
49 RedAxeWound
56 mporter1
58 RobD1973uk

Anything is still possible.

[dwh103]

I"ve had AK v AK (and lost) and TT v TT so far in this comp.

Am looking forward to seeing a hand and then seeing my opponent with something different - hopefully worse...

[MintTrav]

Oh dear, we"ve had a disastrous session.

abastinado, Perrygarl, mporter1, RobD1973uk, steveinhants & wightline gone.

Only MintTrav & RedAxeWound left - RedAxeWound riding high in 2nd.

And then there was one, good lick RedAxeWound, represent and PWN!

[MintTrav]

Yeah, turned over twice when I knew I was winning. QQ<78.

Not gonna collect any team points so you"re playing for yourself now Dave.

[dwh103]

Cheers both,

Will do my best. Getting the usual comments about my play which amuses me as per usual. I seem to piss off people wherever I play! Love it!

[Perrygarl]

MTT poker, gotta love it.

[dwh103]

Ofc I bubble the points. TT v AK, K on the river. Worthwhile 4 hours for $10.80 profit, sigh!
