TPS Poker: February 2007

TPS 2 `07 SATURDAY 10TH FEBRUARY

Winner Sids

2nd John

3rd Jordan

4th Rob

5th Paul

6th Daz

The second of this seasons TPS's got off to a rip snorting start with the shock exit of former 2 time TPS triumphalist Andy in only the second hand. Andy, who was absent from TPS1 said "I'm Gutted".

Sids hit the 'house hand' four of a kind Queens, before the final table of Daz, John, Sids, Jordan Rob and Paul.

Daz was the first to take a dive, soon followed by Paul, making it an all round shit day for the Taylors's. Loose playing Rob and the normally hands oblivious Jordan followed, leaving Sids and John heads up. Never one to let a chip lead get in the way of humiliating defeat, John missed out on a masters place by folding his way out of the title. "I'm gutted", he said.

This left Sids, in only his 2nd TPS tournament, to become the Victorilator of TPS2 (07).

2008 RULES UPDATE

New Blind Structure

For the 2008 season the blinds will now go up in 40 minute intervals.

New Players

TPS Tournaments are private home games and are not open to the public. However, existing players can invite their mates along and we're always happy to make new friends and take their money from them (heh heh). If you'd like to invite someone along, as a matter of courtesy could you please check with the host first to make sure it's OK with them and please remember that on their first night they are your responsibility- so no psychopathic kleptomaniacs please!

Behaviour

So far, in the almost 4 years we've been holding TPS games there has been little in the way of unruly behaviour- and we'd like to keep in that way. Most of us like a drink whilst we play (in fact some of us love a drink whilst we play), but please try not to turn up steaming - what's the rush? You can just get hammered with the rest of us (except H), and it goes without saying that nobody likes a bad loser, so if your pocket Aces gets beat by a 6 high straight, take it like a man, shake hands and say 'nice hand sir'. Cheating, violence or threats of violence will absolutely not be tolerated!

VENUES WANTED

With the spiritual home of the TPS- Paul's house- now in the hands of the Polish we're one TPS Venue down, so if you feel your gaff is up to hosting an event please let us know.

*********************

THE MAIN EVENT

The first Saturday of every month, from January 2008 we will hold a TPS tournament at one of our houses. It will be the same set up as before with the top 5 getting paid (depending on numbers of course). £15 from the £20 buy-in will go towards the main event winners. There no minimum players for it to be classed as a TPS event. Even if 2 people only turn up, the winner will still get a Masters place and league points.

THE LEAGUE

The top 6 players from the main event get points as before, but now everyone who buys-in will get 1 League Point (Note: TPS `08 Participation Points do not count towards the All Time Leader Board). The league season starts in January and finishes after the November event. £2 from the £20 buy-in each month will go towards awarding the league champion and also runner up a cash prize worthy of turning up for.

THE MASTERS

All winners of the main event get a seat in 'The Masters' to be held in December. This is the World Cup of Poker were the top of the pops battle it out for the cash that's mounted up throughout the season. This is a free tournament for winners only with potentially big money to be won. £3 of the £20 main event monthly buy-in will go towards this grand occasion. With the season having 11 main events, The Masters could be an 11 handed affair, but is unlikely as some tend to win the main event more than once.
