Cash table names

68Trebor

 Was just wondering how the cash tables got their names. Just seen a table called Dewsbury, and being from Dewsbury, was wondering how it got it's name.

scotty77

just random i think.  apart from the higher stakes tables which are all well known rich places.

used to kinda tilt me that Maidenhead is a 2p/4p while some total dumps are a lot higher up in stakes!!!

charlton is 2p/4p enough said lol

They're all cities

 Believe me Dewsbury is no city

CrazyBen23

Towns/cities/villiages, same thing

 But how do they choose which places. There must be a system or formula and I want to know it, I will not sleep until I do.

Just a siilly idea but it would be great if some of the cash tables were named after forum members.

Maybe run a comp to get a table named after you.

Id quite like to play at table Dohhhhhhh, or table Jaegerbomb, or even table Greghogg!

scotty77

good idea greg. maybe the person who the table who its named after has a permanent seat so they can always play...

get a table orford going too.  that table would ALWAYS be full of people waiting for the man himself to turn up.

DOHHHHHHH

Give over!

You don't need to give players any more encouragement to say it's rigged in favour of "skys favourites"

A play the presenter cash table is a must have though - need to get some highlights on mastercash ~!!!!

We'll happily run a competition for the chance to have a table named after you for a while

So we are offering the prize, you tell us what the competition should be to decide the winner!

Suggestions for the competition?

Thanks

How about a 'work in the community' comp, list the guys who do the most for the community then we vote or something.
Or all the guys who do stuff for the community get a freeroll with the winner getting a table named after them.

I am thinking Red_Scouse but I am sure there are others who do stuff that I am not quite so aware of.

You could start a thread for suggestions of players who do a lot for the community and the reason, then throw them in a freeroll for the 'honour'

Make it a 10 seater though, would be good to join the red_scouse table in the evening to play some regulars

DOHHHHHHH

Earn quadrourple points on his/her table? - Which for me would be like a total of 100, but every little helps

 Will someone please answer the original question. Where do the current table names come form.

 PLEASE!!!!!!!!

MrWh1te

They pick the biggest fish and then just name it after where they come from...

68Trebor

 And where are you and Orford from.

I reckon Tikay went through his Bradshaws railway guide and picked all the stations he's been to.

The story goes something like this...........

In about a 1825, a young American gambler came over to visit England. His reputation went before him and was declared a wanted man as soon as he set foot on land. In the coming 18 months he travelled the length of the United Kingdom conning his way from village to village and getting more and more of a scoundrel reputation. Every one of these towns increased his bounty on his head until he was worth more than most people earned in a year.

He eluded capture by devious means and became a bit of a hero to all the underworld. Rumour has it that he finally settled down in the small village of Ilkeston. No one knows quite what happened after this period.

Hence, all cash tables denote a name of a place where this villain went.

I think his name was Kent Dallony. Rumour has it that he still lurks on poker tables nowadays and dishes out Bad Beats like confetti.

I hope this helps

Cool, thanks.

I suggest that the cash table is highlighted at the top for a week and at the stakes that the person who wins normally plays. maybe this could be shown on m/c too?

I like the idea of a weekly mtt, at a stake most can afford, say £2-5, where the winner gets their own cash table for a week.

what u reckon?

grantorino

make it for the worst bad beat inflicted BY you. Im sick of hearing everyone whinging, want to see a muhahahahahahhahaha  I hit my 1 outer on the river posts

Also whoever wins should have certain powers on the table named after them:

straddle (including being able to raise if it limps back around)
buy in for whatever they want
be allowed run it twice
stipulate wildcards
no chat ban no matter what they spout
an extra big avatar with lots of flames in it

Im sure you guys can workout some more

grantorino

forgot a couple of important staples of being annoying in live games
turn over one or both cards while hand is till on (even after you have folded)
show one after hand is over (cant be made show 2nd)
act out of turn
also, when hand is over turn over other players mucked cards

Machka
