blonde poker forum

I like this, very similar to the Tanks suggestion about Pub Poker. Good luck with the venture and I will be curious to see if there is any interest from my neck of the woods!

Thanks for your support...if there is any pub that you think may be interested let us know and we will contact them.

excellent idea, just hope that some pubs in my area are taking part!

Great idea, have a question though.
Myself and a group of friends travel around the south west in a minibus playing tournaments each weekend. If we were to enter this we could travel around different pubs each week and be able to use our points for the national league, right? Part of the buzz for us is to visit new venues and play our usual game of Holdem so this is great for us.

As far as i understand you will be getting the same structure and format where ever you go and we would be welcome to play in new pubs each week.

Thanks, Cal.

I feel that this is a great idea, and think this has great potential for all that get involved. The pubs and clubs etc will benefit from being actively involved in what is clearly one of ‘the’ games to be associated with and will undoubtedly attract more people through their doors..

For the players, it can only be a win win situation, free entry and the chance for new players to experience live play with no risk, with the added benefit of good prizes, which should also attract the more experienced players knowing full well they should have a good chance..…..

I look forward to it starting and will be pestering my local pub(s) to get involved.

Thanks for your support if you need any posters, beer mats or any more information please contact us. We would be only to happy to help

Hey Cal, your points will count for the national league, you can play as many different pubs as you like and as often as you would like.
The format will be fixed in every pub, $2000 in chips, 15 min blinds, starting blinds 25/50.

don't want to hi-jack this thread, but there's already an established pub poker league in the south west and manchester that has been running for 10 months. if anyone wants to know more please PM me.

This is a very well established league. They are gaining players and increasing their prizes at the start of every new league, PITP will hopfully grow in the same way.

It proves that with good planning and a simple nationwide points/prize system that this can be a real hit.

Hi Dave

I would just like to take this opportunity to wish you the best of luck with the league. I know you have put a large amount of time and effort into this venture, not to mention money and I hope it is a great success.

P.s Have a great time in Vegas

Thanks, this sounds great, keep us posted. Especially if you get some pubs in the Bristol/Bath area.

Thanks  Dj

I hope the league is good for everyone and helps introduce poker to more people.

My pilgrimage starts on Sunday...I hope the poker gods are kind to me !!!!!!....I still dream about winning a bracelet.

Less than two weeks now before the league starts, this is the last chance to get your local pub signed up and to earn some good money by becoming any agent.
Pubs are signing up all over the UK, the hot areas are Manchester and London at the moment.

Well I am back from Vegas 2 cashes and lots of fun.....damn snoopy works hard and a really nice guy as well......I had to come back because the league started yesterday. We reckon we have about 1500 players and expect this to rise in the coming weeks. I will update you all as I have more information. I would also like to thank everyone who has helped and supported us and to all the blondites who have expressed an interest or joined the league.

There has been some interesting developments over the last few weeks and I will keep you updated on our progress

Good luck to a in the blondites in the WSOP especially Matt....gooooo monkey boy

so what happened to the beer ;)

Hi Rivercard,

I also think this is a great idea but if you include home games how do you know players wont cheat- I mean the could just pick their best player and say he wins every other week to accumulate more points- I dont really know how you'll structure this tho

Hi Mel

sorry sorry sorry sorry ....I owe you lots of drinks!!!  played to much poker ...forgot to party


 :dontask: :dontask:

Hi

This sort of defeats the point....if you have an home game it still costs £1.50 per player. We charge the landlord this not the player, it covers our costs and helps promote there pub. If you where to cheat for 12 weeks in this league I think the cost would outstrip the benefit.We monitor everything that goes on but rely on the person in charge of each event to ensure fair play.

We are trying to put a credible league together that does not charge the player therefore is not gambling. We are trying to work the authorities to ensure the league grows and we are making some headway.This I hope will help with the growth of live poker and will deter people from trying to trick the system.


Its early days but lets see what happens


Thanks for your interest and support

Rivercard,

I've been on the site but can't see if there are any games in my area, I'm not sure if this is cos there are'nt or because the map isn't up to date??

Hi Mr F

We will be loading all the sites this week as the games start. We are also issuing all our agents with passcodes so they can update venues.  This will all (hopefully) be done by the end of week 1. If you mail me your area I will be able to tell you the nearest venue. We will be adding venues over the coming weeks, so we hope to have every area covered but cannot guarantee it.

I hope this helps
