The Coral-Gutshot Main Event - Final Day

[julian]

good job tikay & well done to barry, derek & the whole gutshot crew - hopefully clubs like this will be the future of poker in the uk.
i had a great couple of days & met lots of new faces - tx to all for the kind words.

poker, don't you just love it

great coverage tikay .... many thanks... perhaps u could go in on the deal too lol ;-)

[tikay]

The deal appears to have been some sort of "saver", based on 10%-10%-20%, between the two lowest stacks & the chip leader as WAS at the time.

But the difference of opinion seemed to revolve around "10%/20% of WHAT"? 10% or 20% of the TOTAL prize money, or those same %'s on the difference between, say, 1st & 2nd.

Glad I don't have to sort THAT out.....

But all parties are adamant it was NOT "business" in the sense of a "deal"........

[Junior Senior]

My understanding is that if ANY form of deal is struck then the ranking points are frozen?!

John? / Tikay?

[tikay]

Well said Julian, perfectly put.

I hope you are feeling better now, a quick look at that boy of yours will do the trick. Watch out the Luton boys, the money is going North up the M1....!

[JonShoreman]

Having a saver like this does constitute a deal.
The top four finishers will all receive ranking points for fourth place.

Hey Junior how you doing ? And why was you not at the Gutshot

[Junior Senior]

from the horses mouth!
thanks John

[Junior Senior]

golfing today foxy and had commitments yesterday.  Will be at Luton though - see you then

[tikay]

Point taken Junior, but we need to be careful here.

I have nothing to do with how this is "ruled", that is Jon's problem, & I don't envy him. But for the sake of fairness, I AM obliged to report the truth as I understand it.

At Luton, I reported the deal - which nobody else did - and it cost Julian a sack load of Ranking Points - quite correctly, too. It just needs to be "policed" all season, to ensure that these guys are on a level playing field.

blonde will report what they see & hear when at Ranking Tornaments, end of story. Jon has to sort out the rest.

[tikay]

Nice one Jon, that's settled that! I have no idea if thats right or wrong, but if the ref say's it's a deal, it's a deal.....!

[julian]

no worries tony, not sure what was worse tho, busting out of the comp or having to endure the train journey

[tikay]

Train Journey? That was the REWARD!

Remind me to lend you my "Great Western Steam in the 50's" Video. Excellent stuff, unforgettable. But don't watch it in bed, it tends to get me a bit worked up whenever I see it.

[tikay]

The happy couple........
