Title: Heads Up for a Heads Up seat in the blonde League
Post by: TightEnd on May 26, 2011, 11:49:04 AM
TCSports have kindly given us a seat into the Berkshire Heads Up Championship on Wed 8th June worth £100 to use

I will be adding it for the winner of the last Sky Poker/blonde MTT league event next Tuesday. If Maidenhead, where the club is, is not somewhere you can reach we can find someone to play it for you on a % basis

If interested in that, let me know



The event:

Heads-Up matches will be the best of 3 matches, on a 15 minute clock. However we reserve the right to change the blind structure during any particular match. Starting stack in the first round will be 7500 chips & the winner of each match will carry through the total

Starting Stack Round 1 =   7.5kchips

Runner-Up                   =         £1000

Winner                     =         £2000 + Trophy

 
From each Heads-Up entry we will deduct £15 which will make up the prize pool for the 1st & 2nd round losers
Plate Tournament, to ensure that every player gets value for money & a whole evening of poker if you lose in the early stages of the Heads-Up event. This will be 6k starting chips with a 15 minute clock for the duration of the Plate Event.

Only 8 of us battling it out for this so far.  £5.50 buy in and easy added value for one.  Starts at 8:30 and there's no late reg, so don't leave it too long to get signed up.

Cormach won the event last night, but lives in the Republic of Ireland

He is looking for someone to play the Heads Up event for him, on a 50-50 split, including the plate competition if you are entered following an Early HU defeat

If you are local-ish to Berkshire and want to play next Wednesday, please contact me

First come first served, as long as you are a blonde member known to me (ie not a newbie!)

thanks

I could be up for this, I will ring the club and find out start times etc. Only problem is I would need to get home the same evening.

Brb, checking babysitters/trains etc


Title: Re: Heads Up for a Heads Up seat in the blonde League
Post by: suzanne on June 01, 2011, 07:24:52 PM
Ok, it starts at 8pm. Last train home is 23.41 although there is another at 4.12 but I would have to hang around Reading for an hour and a half till 6am which I am not too keen on. Its doable.

Lets see if anyone else who lives closer/has a car wants to play.

Btw what is a plate tourament?

If you lose in the first two rounds of the HU they put on another comp for those players

From each Heads-Up entry we will deduct £15 which will make up the prize pool for the 1st & 2nd round losers
Plate Tournament, to ensure that every player gets value for money & a whole evening of poker if you lose in the early stages of the Heads-Up event. This will be 6k starting chips with a 15 minute clock for the duration of the Plate Event.

Well that was fun :)

The game started with 23 players so a play off with 14 of us to make the final 16. Did I get a bye? Of course not. 2 pros there which obviously I hoped to avoid, did I avoid them? Errrrr no, I was drawn with Mark Banin...sigh. If you are going to play HU poker then you might as well do it with one of the best. The score 2-0. I was pwned.

Not to worry, £15 from each player was taken off the buyin for the "losers", the first 8 out played an sng with £100 for the winner and £60 for second which I WON!! weeeeeeeeeee.

A very enjoyable evening, lovely staff who couldnt do enough and I really look forward to going back again which will probably be on the 16th July when they have a £5k guarenteed, £100 + £50 addon (optional). Cant remember exact details but I am sure Allan will post them up nearer the time.

PS I was only there 5 mins when a bloke approach me and said "Are you the lady on blonde who doesnt know how to play HU" LOL

Thought I might have a better chance of taking this down to be honest, HU was great experience though.

Last hand was pretty sick. I have massive chip lead and had been raising every hand with the other 2 guys on life support so just limp the button with 9 10, call, check. Flop 6 7 8 :), check, check, I bet, sb allin, bb allin woohoo!! sb had 2 pair and bb had 95...easy game sometimes.
