Reminder - there is an £8,500 Freeroll tonight.

edited April 2016 in Poker Chat

The 2nd Chance Leaderboard Freeroll is tonight, at 7pm.

189 runners, the winner gets a £3,500 Viva Las Vegas package, & there is an additional £5,000 in cash prizes on offer.

It has just 189 entrants, so that makes it worth an astonishing £44.97 PER ENTRANT.
 
Now factor in that, based on previous evidence, maybe 50% or so won't turn up, & we are looking at £90 or so per active player. Serious value, that.
 
The money - & decent money - goes down a long way, too. Here's the payout structure.....

    Given, he is almost the size of two people, and utilising TK's 50% won't play calculations, he is already at £180 just for turning up.........how many kebabs can one buy with such a sum?

    Thanks Ger, but Gill is down for the weekend, so I'm very unlikely to be playing this tonight, as it happens. She's cooking us a bit of dinner tonight, & it may not be well received if I say "I'm playing poker".....

    Understood Tikay! I have to choose my moments to play also!

    Enjoy your evening.

    I'm not dignifying any of those 'well wishes' with a response.

    Good luck Harry, you're probably one of the nicest people I have never met.

    Wasn't to be, busted about 12 off the money after TT couldn't hold vs AK. Will have to play more DYMs and try and get on the next leaderboard; it never rains but it pours ;)

    Thanks for the good vibes!

    Uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that hurt, I was SO happy with how I played that final table, except that last hand, I almost folded to his dodgy raise, but then got it in because he had shown a tendency to not need big hands. I figured he could easily have AJ or AK with diamond, and if he somehow had flush I would've at least had boat outs, never expected set over set... but maybe that was a bad spot, thoughts anyone?

    And to think I was 90%+  to win on the turn with that JJ vs A4 :/

    Don't think i could fold a set against that particular oppo based on what i had seen, agree he has a few worse hands in his range, you played well, obv i had AA in that spot you folded the K btw wpwp ;) will sting a bit at the moment im sure, but £500 is a nice consolation.

    Well played SSPRANK as well enjoy vegas.

    Thanks, yeh very glad I folded my KT trips vs you, couldn't see myself being ahead with how it played out. Considering I was close to folding my set my hero fold game is definitely improving! Glad to hear you agree about getting it in with the set, oppo was definitely loose, however his sizing really did scream he had it so I'm going to be thinking about that all night :S

    The £500 puts me at an all time profit high, so I've treated myself to a nice withdrawal

    GG

    thanks, was fun chatting and ending up at the same table, also I won into the vegas final today (from a freeroll> vegas semi) so I've still got a 1/10 chance before any possible vlv tourneys, hopefully I play well and run good next Saturday
