Post by **Vid** » 16 May 2007, 21:46

I haven't played at PKR for a while now, the reason I stopped -

you need a high spec machine and still be prepared for the the software to crash at very inconvienient times, it takes so long to log back in you can go from a very strong tournament position to blinded out.

Anyone that enters this comps and wins one of the prizes, I suggest raked tables and don't hit auto blinds! Avoid tables with slow players, the longer you have to wait the more chance of losing hands thru not being able to play them through There's bound to be some rule to prevent you just taking the cash out (no, won't be reading them) turn it around as quickly as possible, withdraw and uninstall the software!

Post by **Karrde** » 18 May 2007, 18:14

I agree with Vid, PKR is unplayable. My machine never even managed to get me onto a table... granted its not a great machine, but still!

However, for those wanting to play for fun. I will set up a minileague (if its possible) later tonight. I certainly fancy a crack at the competition.

Thanks guy's, now I've seen it all...

However liking to watch TV Poker I have just registered with the site and entered a team.

However does the pokerplayer site update you, show a league table or what?

If not, do we need to post our teams somewhere here before the start date of this game to show what they genuinely was... over to you Karrde?

My teams name - 'BARLEY CREW 'DREAM TEAM' PRO'S'

Post by **Karrde** » 26 May 2007, 12:52

When i said i would create a mini league i didnt realise how far ahead the start date was.

I will look at it today, deadline is still 5 days away so plenty of time to get a few entrants.

Post by **anon6** » 26 May 2007, 13:35

I might have a gander at this too.

Post by **Karrde** » 26 May 2007, 17:25

Well i have entered. Didnt see an option to create a league though

Post by **djnuttie** » 26 May 2007, 17:28

Go on then lets see em!!

Here is my effort -

Phil Hellmuth 350
T J Cloutier 350
Michael Mizrachi 350
Ted Forrest 300
Joseph Hachem 150
Roland de Wolfe 150
Robert Williamson III 100
David 'Chip' Reese 50
David Williams 50
Tom McEvoy 40

I thought Joe Hachem was a great buy at 150, time will tell.

Post by **Karrde** » 26 May 2007, 17:31

Ive gone Euro heavy, and stuck a lady in there because the ladies championship counts.

For some reason I never spotted Hachem, or I might have had a look.

Hopefully the Euro boys will have the good year that has never quite happend yet.

Erik Sagstrom 50
Vanessa Rousso 100
Martin De knijff 100
Bengt Sonnert 100
Roland de Wolfe 150
Carlos Mortensen 150
Erik Friberg 250
Ram Vaswani 250
Phil Hellmuth 350
Phil Ivey 500

Post by **djnuttie** » 26 May 2007, 17:42

I didn't notice the ladies event

.

I went for some of the old school (Cloutier, Reese, Forrest, Mckevoy) as they go in for the HORSE event which doesn't attract a large field

Good Luck

I think you are onto something here.

A lot of the newer players only excel at no limit and pot limit holdem which means they will have limited opportunity to score points in this selection of events.

I have also gone for the all rounders..

Post by **nigel1305** » 26 May 2007, 20:17

Some strange pricings....

Greg Raymer is the same price as Michael Greco....

Phil Laak is the same price as Victoria Coren...

Going to need some luck picking a winning team...

Here are my ten:

Team name: The Hands Of Dodd

Allan Cunningham
Phil Hellmuth
Jo Hochem
Barry Greenstein
Evelyn Ng

Phil Laak
Scotty Ngugen
Josh Arieh
Jeff Madsen
Greg Raymer

Fingers crossed

You can add any player not on the list for a cost of 70 points.

Some info from Justin Bonomo's blog entry

People are making all kinds of prop bets for the WSOP. Negreanu is taking bets at 5-1 odds against him winning a bracelet this year. For what it's worth, I think he's a significant favorite in that bet.

People were betting on Barry Greenstein with the odds at 3.5-1. Barry was also putting himself heads up against other people. He gave Mike Wattel 8-5 odds for example. I asked Barry what odds he would give me, and he said he wouldn't give me odds. I'd have to take the bet at 1-1 with no odds. I gotta admit I'm honored that he has that much respect for my game. To be fair, he did explain that I would have a significant advantage over him since much less of my time would be devoted to cash games, and he did offer to crossbook against me in individual events (an offer I obviously declined). Even still, I was pretty stoked about getting that much respect from him.

Event 10 - No-Limit Hold'em

Justin Bonomo Eliminated in 4th Place ($156,040)

Bonomo moved all in on the next hand after he was crippled by Durkee. Durkee called him down and Bonomo flipped over K 10. Durkee turned over pocket sevens. The board was dealt Q J 7 5 4 and Bonomo was eliminated in fourth place. He took home $156,040 in prize money. Durkee was now the overwhelming chip leader heading into three-way action.

Total garbage, ive just logged on to have a look at my team and the league. I dont appear to have a team registered.

Bollox to it.

Post by **anon6** » 12 Jun 2007, 11:49

Is there a leaderboard for this

I can't even find the team I entered on the site

Post by **djnuttie** » 12 Jun 2007, 12:00

I can't find mine either

, maybe they just haven't updated the league table?

I see Phil Hellmuth has won his 11th WSOP bracelet! Whatever you think about him as a person (whole new thread needed

), you can't argue with his Holdem No Limit performances. 11 bracelets all in no limit holdem, the Brat!

I wonder if 'Brat' gets through the profanity filter?
