Can anyone enter this? If so I would like to join in. 

I'm not the greatest player and probably won't be playing often but I would like to try improve my game and raise a few quid for charity.

Hi Langton, yes this is open to anyone, and you are more than welcome to join. It would be great to have you as a competitor!

Do you understand the rules OK, would you like anything explained?

What charity would you like to represent?

The financial commitment is £50, plus the additional donations when you win a qualifying tournament. (As described in the rules section which is after the spreadsheets, which are after the opening post)

If all that is OK with you, then it would be great to have you onboard.

If you could pick a charity that has not already been selected, (check spreadsheets) that would be great.

Being a competitor also gets you entry into a heads up tournament, where, like the TLB and Tournament Wins comp, has a fully engraved trophy up for grabs.

The latest Tournament Wins league table can be seen here. (Also shows charity names)

Let me know if you would like to go ahead.

Cheers,

Graham

Just to confirm, on Tuesday's the 9pm £110 Summit BH will replace the 9pm Sherriff BH and will also be worth two points.

Today is the last day for new competitors to join.

Well the deadline has now passed, so we have our final 15 competitors.

With some big names not renewing this year it could be wide open, so there is all to play for.

My sincere thanks to those who have renewed, without your continued support, sustaining these charity initiatives would not be possible. We really do have a great bunch of lads (and lass) as competitors this year.

Due to some natural attrition, we do rely on new blood coming in each year, and I am am so pleased to be able to welcome three new players for 2017.

Namely: ESSEXPHIL, OMM and LANGTON10.

I also want to pass my sincere thanks to aussie09 who year after year of diligent effort and supreme IT skill, he has assisted us with the Tournament Wins leaderboard below:

http://www.pokersuperhero.com/charity

Last but by no means least, thank you to all those who have sponsered us over the years.

You guys really are the unsung heros of the initiative, giving open-handedly with nothing to gain for yourselves. The likes of Snuffer, DarkAngel7, IrishRose, asmithx, radiofed28, scouse_red, GELDY and MAXALLY to name but a few of our loyal supporters.

I would also like to thanks the likes of TK, Neil Channing, Ian Simpson, Ryan Spittles and Rich Orford for all their support. 

I know there has been a lot of change, and the dissapointment of losing the Sky Poker Channel is felt by all, but especially these guys, who were great on the show and a real credit to the game.

We have set ourself some tough targets after the success of the last two years, so it will be interesting to see how we fare this year.

As always, please post on here if you would like to sponsor us.

Thanks again to all involved (past and present)

All the best, on and off the tables for 2017!

Cheers,

G

That's great, thanks markycash.

I won't collect any sponsor money until January 2018.

I will provide all the details nearer that time.

Thanks again and all the best for 2017!

I will also run a heads up comp in March/April, for competitors and sponsors. There is a fully engraved trophy up for grabs, and you would be more than welcome to join that if you wish.

First come first served.

If you are a TLB2017 competitor or have already sponsored us, no further pledge is required, but please do post here if you want to play in the heads up comp.

Special shout out to the ladies out there, there is also a ladies last longer trophy up for grabs, this was won by IrishRose last year who made it all the way to the semi-final, knocking yours truly out in the first round.

If you haven't sponsored us for 2017 as yet, please post your pledge and desire to play in the heads up comp here.

All the best and thanks again for your support!

I have just spoken with Ian Simpson and man of the moment Chris (rspca12) Cunliffe and they are both in, I also assume MonkeyGLB and IrishRose will be defending their titles, so including me, we have five so far.

Yeh, sorry it wasn't a winning day for you on the horses. I hope you didn't lose too much.

I did try to point you in the right direction with my email, where I picked 4 winners from the first 6 races including a 10/1 shot in the first. (Admittedly the 4th winner was an odds on shot in a two runner race :=))

But seriously, thanks again for your support and enthusiasm Gary, it's great to have you involved.
