OK, Hi all, we had 29 players sitting down for the first leg of the IPPT League last night in Portarlington at the Barrow Lodge, everyone that came were delight to have a game of poker for the same price as a pint. I had the honor of meeting up with Director of IPPT, Christy Smith (a great man for the banter of poker games in the old times) and he gave me lots of decks of cards that he brought back from Vegas and there was one for every player, he also gave me a nice watch and pen set (the pen being a radio with ear phones) and this will go to the player with the best hand of the 4 weeks, last night Paddy Walsh got quad Jacks with a king kicker so he is winning this, SO FAR.
So without further a do, here is how it stands, starting with the First place winner and ending with the first out. And congrats to all who made it to the points, i hope to see everyone back next week and i will be expecting more new faces.
Regards Paddy @ Winstons Poker

After last Wednesday game a lot of players were asking to put some money in a pot for the next game, so, this is what i came up with:

Buyin FREE
Reg €5
Side pot €5
Scalp €5
Total spend €15
Just to make things clear, the side pot and scalp money has no involvement with the IPPT, i am doing this as a request from the players and i will be taking care of the payouts. Players do not have to put this money in if they do not wish, they can still play for those very important points, but they will not be entitled to any moneys.

Hows it going DEE,

Qualifier structure
Average number of players in pub

5-10 players = 2 qualifiers

11-20 players = 4 qualifiers

21-30 players = 6 qualifiers

31-40 players = 8 qualifiers

more than 50 = 10 qualifiers





For example:
If :

1st week gets 10 players
2nd week gets 22 players
3rd week gets 33 players
4th week gets 24 players

Then: 5% of total player are qualified



10+22+31+20 = 89 players (89 x 5% = 4.45)

Number of qualifier = 4 qualifiers

Hope this helps,

Hi Paddy,

I saw this was on the IPPT web site, but its a bit confusing, the table
of qualifier structure suggests 6 qualifiers from the example:
i.e. 89 players over 4 weeks is 22ish average players per week, which should be 6 qualfiers instead of 4.

I'm not sure where this 5% bit comes from though, it wasn't mentioned on the qualifier structure at all...

Maybe IPPT needs to answer this?

OK, 32 players again this week, we had a situation last night, 11 players left and on table “3” we had 2 people all in and another called both of them (3 way pot) with the caller knocking out the 2 people all in, Ann Hennessy and Darren Blanc, both had Ace 8 and the exact same in chips, i could go down the road were the suit ranking would determine who came 10th and 11th , but i think giving them both 1 point each is the fairest giving the circumstances.
Last night saw Paddy Walsh was looking good for the watch and pen set with the best hand of the four weeks, BUT his quad Jack's got kicked to the side by Dave Ryan as he took down a big pot with quad Kings, Hard luck Paddy and well done Dave.
So here is the results from last night at The Barrow Lodge:

1st Eddie McAuliffe – 10 points
2nd Marry Serry – 9 points
3rd Dave Ryan – 8 points
4th Shane Mooney – 7 points
5th John Condron – 6 points
6th Sonny Flanagan – 5 points
7th James Moore – 4 points
8th Patrick Coman – 3 points
9th Barry Smith – 2 points
J/10th Ann Hennessy – 1 point
J/10th Darren Blanc – 1 point

SO, with the way things are, it looks like there is going to be showdown at the hoedown next week :mad: were anybody with no points can qualify :eek: and anyone with points meeting at the final table, well, they are going to be fighting to stay on top :mad:, it is going to be an exciting great night and hopefully everyone will enjoy the night and have good game of poker, i cant wait.:D

well paddy good crack last night. glad to see i got one point with that all in situation i was in. i think it was the fairest way to sort it out.
even though i heard something today about the looker looses (i.e who ever called looses)as i was all in utg i would have won the point yippeeeeee:D
did you hear of that before? i think it only apply's to draw poker
or it's a house rule or something anyway it's up to the TD's discretion.
i think you dealt with it very fairly. fair play paddy see ya next time gluk

winstons pt

Last leg of the Laois league tonight, and i am going to put a spanner in the works :eek:, so there will be plenty of fighting for points and pints
Good Luck to all
