That's the lineup, we just need to decide a time and place to play it.
Personally Friday the 19th is no good.
But either Saturday the 20th or Sunday the 21st is fine for me.
Time-wise any time after 4pm should be ok.

Location: I can't host this month, if anyone else with a fairly central location is happy to host then fire your suggestion up here.
Otherwise I suggest we play in the Fitz. Luke is happy enough to give us a table and chips (for a nominal fee).

So best time for me would be: Saturday 20th November 5pm in the Fitz.

I believe that clashes with a Suited Aces event no? I'm happy to play after/before the SA event or on the Friday - Can't make Sunday though.

This is true! The SA event should be starting earlier on the saturday rather than later, so ideally the heat could start after, maybe around 6.30pm-7pm, depending on the SA.com event finishing.
Should still be handy enough to ask Luke for a table upstairs or something.

mewso

I had assumed like the previous heat 3 events that I would be hosting. I would have proposed the saturday but with the SA event I wonder if anyone would fancy playing it this weekend?

Krusty_Clown

Can't play this Friday or Sunday...

TwoShedsJackson

This weekend is ok with me, if it's Saturday it'd need to be 5 p.m. or later.

quozl

this saturday would suit me if it suited everyone else, or the friday or sunday of the weekend 19-21st.
I think the fitz would be a nice central location for most people, and worth a few quid.

Saturday the 20th after 6pm is out for me, my sister has her house warming on her first apartment. I'd be a dead man if I gave that a miss.

Greg

Edser

I can't make this Saturday, but I'm free this Fri/Sun or any time next week.

Ed

mewso

Here we go. I'll leave it until next weekend as scheduled and it will be Saturday evening 5.30 unless that affects too many.
Of course if people would rather have it in a different venue then by all means jump in with a proposal. If you are proposing the Fitz for example that assumes you will talk to Luke and arrange it.

evillive

cant do this weekend

next saturday at 5.30 is fine though

Lafortezza

its never easy is it....
Its a bit too near the weekend (ie tomorrow and the day after) so it'll have to be the weekend of the 20th/21st.
As the Suited Aces tournament is on at 4pm ish on the saturday (to be confirmed!), then I think we should have it after the tournament, at maybe 7/8pm or whatever.

The other option is to have it in musician's house on the Sunday 21st, because everyone loves smoking while playing poker!

Krusty_Clown

After the SA tournament sounds great!
Might encourage me to get off my ass, and go play the SA tounie too...

mewso

O.k. lets stick with saturday week then in the fitz after our tourney.

whiteshadow

i missed my heat (2) so
if there is anyone dropping out
can i be first in line to sit play in heat 3.

thanks

quozl

Like I said 4 days ago, I can't make the saturday after the SA tournament. So what time would suit everybody?

Anyone unable to make the sunday? I can host it if necessary (donnybrook, chips + kems)

Greg

kencleary

I cant make Sunday.

quozl

Would saturday before the SA tournament be any good?

Or how about thursday at my gaff in donnybrook at 7? Unlikely to suit everybody but we could be lucky so I'm offering the venue/date.

Greg

kencleary

Before the SA game is fine by me but unfortunately Thursday is out.

mewso

I am available for most times suggested. I am still wondering why people signed up for the BSOP. 3 players at the previous 2 heats. Why oh why subscribe to something if you can't make time for it. O.k. better shut it before I find myself unable to make some suggested time and place.

kencleary

I think the recent non-attendence is less due to time commitments than due to people's point tallies. Realistically if you've no chance of making it to the final table why would you spend 50 more euro only half of which you have a chance to win.

Lafortezza

Well the fitz only opens at 4pm on saturdays with the SA.com tournament likely to start pretty much straight away. Having people travel somewhere first and then to the Fitz for the SA thing is a bit much.

Thursday is not good for me either unfortunately.

It still looks like Saturday next after the SA game is the best for the majority. Hyzepher can make a ruling if there's still doubts.

Hyzepher

I will make a ruling if it isn't settled by Wednesday 4pm

Hyzepher

evillive

can't do friday or sunday

anytime on saturday though with preference for after the SA game

Hyzepher

Has this been arranged yet? The weekend is getting near

**me have nothing to do with Heat3**

Ok seen as H2 was a bit of a disaster with only 3 showing up. and the same seems to be happening with H3 from the look of things.........

Could i make a suggestion, theres a huge amount i can only do Sat, I can can only do Fri afternoon, i can only do Blah

Why not ask ppl to nominate either they can play on Weekends Fri -Sat -Sun (Fri counted as wkend or nay?) i can play during wk Mon-Thurs or i can generally play either.

Then split the groups up when deciding groups made up of Wkend pll and another group of wk day ppl. Then after that give 2 weeks notice of the date and then thats that u can play or u cant. Work should be the only reason why someone cant play, surely the G/f wife family can be parked/allow u to play if given enough notice.
(As u can guess I have no such worries *plz dont bash me )

+btw unless i win the final this month i'll be droppin out till the reset starts up again

Yeah because stuff like my baby sister having bought her first apartment and having her house warming is unimportant compared to a BSOP heat? Or weddings , or whatever. You must have a painfully dull life if the only thing in it that could be more important than a BSOP heat is work.

There had better be more than 3 people at saturdays heat. As the time it's being schedueled for is the only time I can't play, if anybody who sprung for saturday after the SA tournament doesn't show up I will be thoroughly unimpressed frankly.

^^^^
see above in previous, and no I dont have a painfully dull life thx OF COURSE!!!! X-( there will be genuine exceptions as u say, but theres a whole lot of ppl that cant seem to find any free time, which means its nigh on impossibe to find a time that suits most players.

There should be one day picked that the majority votes/agrees to and the minority doesnt play. simple as.

Well i'm in the final anyway I reckon. So if the rest can make it some other time than Sat after the SA game go ahead and re-schedule.

TwoShedsJackson

Any decision on this yet? Any time this weekend is okay with me, really, is the SuitedAces game a freezeout like on 16/10 - can't see anything about it on the site.

kencleary

Any update yet guys? If the final this month is on Sunday week then I probably can't make that either so there's little point in holding it on Saturday if i'm the only one who can't make this Sunday.

Hyzepher

OK - since no one in Heat 3 can agree.

Heat 3 will take place on Saturday after the SA tournament - or whenever all are ready to start

Hyzepher

quozl

I'm sorry to say I won't be able to make that time like I said.
It does have to be schedueled to suit the majority so best of luck in the game guys

Greg

PS Thanks for the generous offer Ken.

Edser

"after the SA tournament" isn't a time, what if someone (me possibly) isn't playing in the SA tournament?

Hyzepher

7:30 would be a good approx. - won't be too far wrong.

Beat I can do unless those of you in Heat 3 can arrange a more fixed time

Hyzepher

Lafortezza

Thanks Hyzepher, think thats the best time for most Heat 3 people.

Corben, can you use more punctuation and less text-sp3ak please, sorry to be a grammar nazi.

Krusty_Clown

Hi Guys, if the heat is on too late, I may have to give it a miss due to other commitments.. So my humblest apologies to Quozl if this is the case..

Otherwise, I'll see you there for the SA tournie, and hopefully the Heat afterwards...

quozl

Heh never mind my moaning Krusty other commitments are bound to pop up sometimes.

My current aim for the BSOP was to finish ahead of Dev, but what with him getting a free ticket to the final this month and me not being able to make my heat I have my concerns

You can make it up to me by making the final and knocking Tom out first, I think I'd be drawn with him then )

Greg

PS Sorry Tom, but when winning the whole thing is such a long shot we have to set our own goals!

quozl

Did only 4 people really show up for this?

mewso

Yep 'fraid so and we didn't even play. So we have to decide what to do now.

Lafortezza

I think 10 people (3+3+4) in the monthly final was the suggested solution.

mewso

It was a suggestion but I have left it in the capable hands of our organiser Hyzepher to decide.

Edser

Hi Guys,

Belated apologies I didn't make this, had to go to France and just back today.

Rgds,
Ed
