POT BLACK SERIES OF POKER HEAT 1

The first Heat of this seasons Pot Black Series of Poker saw a uncharacteristically small attendance due in large to a big due at the Oddfellas for Rene's Kevill's 60th. So with a few regulars missing it gave the new breed a chance... NOT to be as last years overall winner and runner/up swapped places to see Aaron 'Never lost an All-In' Cooper pip Ash 'becomming almost as fortunate as Aaron' Moore to topspot. Due to the small field all players decided to use one of their two Jokers to gain maximum points. This means theres alot of catching up for the rest of us to do!!!

Points Standings are as Follows

POT BLACK SERIES OF POKER 2009

Here it is, the one you've been waiting for..... for all of 3 weeks! Pot Black Series of poker 2009 edition. A few amendments to the rules so be sure to read carefully.

RULES

This time there will be 12 nights run over the year all leading to a grand final table at Christmas with last years total prize fund being in excess of £1500!!!

Each individual poker night will have a cash payout for the winner and runner-up. The winner is not guaranteed a seat at the final table. instead to benefit our regular players only points accumulated through the year will count towards qualifying for the grand final.

Each night will be limited to 16 players each paying a £15 entry fee.

The entry £15 will be broken down so that £10 will go into the pot for that night to be won by the winner and r/up and the other £5 will go into the grand final pot. Also for your £15 you will be guaranteed one buy-in (if indeed you need one!) for all you fish out there, one more buy-in can be bought for an additional £5, again contributing to the overall prize fund.

A points system will be in place so that 6-highest points scorers will qualify for the grand final table. The next 6-highest points scorers will have their own ‘wild card night’ whereby each player will start with 300chips plus 50chips for each point accumulated during the main season. these six players will play down to 2 wild card entries for the grand final on that night!

This year to mix things up a bit and to help players that may have to miss some nights due to work commitments, parties etc, there will be a few adjustments to last years rules.

Firstly only your top 9 or fewer points results out of all 12 events will count.

Secondly we will be having 2 Joker nights, whereby prior to any event you can either use a 200% Joker or a 150% Joker. Any points acrued on either of these nights will either be doubled or multiplied by 150% depending upon what Joker is used. meaning you could possibly win 20 points on any one night so you are never out of the running!!!!

So it’s worth playing as often as you can to give yourself the best chance of qualifying!!!
look out for the first tournament going up on the board soon!!!!!! (24th Jan)

May the bad beats begin!!!!
