Heat of Death. But wait. They're all heats of death. Crikey. I'll be working the friday/sunday nights. so can do saturday afternoon/evening or sunday during the day.

TwoShedsJackson

Would someone from Heat 1 like to swap with me? That first weekend is the only one I can make next month.

MrPudding

Heat 2 will be Sunday 12th @1400ish.

MrP

mewso

I'll be hosting it on the 3rd (7 p.m. ish) or 4th (5 p.m. ish). I dislike Sundays. Nothing worse than a game the night before going back to work. Speak your preferences now or forever hold you peace.

kencleary

Ummm would it be possible for me to switch with somebody in Heat 1? The 3rd/4th suit me a lot better than the 12th.

Waylander

Either one is good for me muso.

Kirbdog

Lads, I'm new to this and am interesting in your poker game. Are the numbers limited or are you still taking new players?

I used to play with mates in college but the game fell apart when a few moved away etc.

Can someone let me know the story.

Hyzepher

You can start playing at any time - read the BSOP structure & rules sticky and if you are OK with them drop me a PM and I'll add you to a heat

Hyzepher

Iago

just an idea but what about holding the final in the fitz on either the 20th or 27th September, i.e. the Monday night, it would give the winner an opportunity to play in the €100 game, which would be appealing to me anyway...

Anyone?

Corben Dallas

Eh MrP are u aware that Sun 12th @2pm is right inthe middle of the Italian Grand Prix? :eek:

does it have to be Sunday?
*wonders*
Play poker -watch GP -play poker -watch GP -play Poker -watch GP?
what to do?
**hopes that theres more F1 fans in my heat ]:)

Waylander

Sorry Conor I can't swap. Corben I'll save you a decision and give you the result now. Schumacher will win with a fair chance Barichello will come second. Now you know, you can play poker!

Lafortezza

I need a swop from somebody if possible.
I'm in Heat 2 in Pudding's on the 12th at 1400 but can't make that day.

Can someone from heat 1 swop with me por favor?

but so many people in heat 1 owe me favours :eek:

Corben Dallas

Waylander prob right,Grrr **shakes fist at invincible GP winning German *** retire already!
but I never miss them (not since 86) so anychance we could delay start time till 4pm or could i switch to another Heat?
THx

Davey Devil

Hmm, alot of people seem like they want into heat 1. Why is that? I know Chris H isn't the best player ever but come on lads give him a break.

I am a GP fan myself. It will be on. You can watch it.

MrP

kencleary

Hyzepher can I switch into Heat 3 please? They're going to be one player down anyway as Twosheds can't make it to that heat and Lafortezza might then have a better shot of finding a swop with somebody from Heat 1.

Hyzepher

Ok hold your horses - I'll sort something out

Hyzepher

Corben Dallas

Errmmmmm....OK MrP @ at least i'll be able to see the finish
grumble.....grumble

This decided yet? I'd prefer Saturday meself.

mewso

Yes it's decided on Saturday. I'll post a thread.

Lafortezza

Hi people.
Looks like I'm going to have to skip this months BSOP. I'm in Heat 2 and can't get a swop into heat 1 which is the only heat I can make this month as I'm working both weekends towards the end of the month.

So if anyone in Heat 1 could swop into Heat 2 at this late hour can you post here or pm me, would be mightily grateful and would buy pints etc etc

Lafortezza

Ger has swopped with me, he is now in heat 2 next saturday, and I am in Heat 1 today in muso's. Watch out heat 1 bitches

Lafortezza

Right the final for this months BSOP shapes up as
LaFortezza
KevinR
Henbane
Evillive
Iago
Marq
Decker
karlh
Krusty

I'm going to suggest a date and time and people can say yes or no and give alternatives.

Fitz, Sunday 26th 4.30pm
we shouldbe done by about 6.30 in time for the freeroll or pints or the €20 game later that night. Unfortunately I can't do Friday the 24th, could just about make Saturday the 25th though if everyone wants to go for that day instead.

Alternatively if someone want to offer their house as a venue we can see how everyone feels, although the previous months final in the fitz seemed to go well.

Iago

My preference would be the Friday or Monday evening, leaving the option to play in the €50 or €100 game afterwards, particular appeal on Friday with not having to get up the next morning for work!

failing that Sunday evening would be most suitable for me, could we play at 7 in the fitz on one of the upstairs tables? That way we would be finished in time for the 20-in but wouldn't have to commit to an early start.

Saturday and Sunday afternoon before 7 would be very difficult for me due to family commitments

Lafortezza

Have a check of the other thread, look like we'll have to go with the majority rule which is looking like Sat or Sunday evening. We could push it back to a later time to let people finish their family commitments and get down to more important business!

Maybe Saturday at 8pm in the Fitz?

Marq

I can make sunday afternoon, I'm afraid that's the only day I'll be free apart from Monday evening.

Waylander

Last month we played on a Wednesday night in the Fitz, why don't you try that again.

PHB

Is there any way I can get into the October heats? Been waiting for a 5th heat to happen but there doesnt appear to be the numbers
