Poker in the Pub Online League
In essence, this is a Poker in the Pub game, but online. We are not trying to
detract from players supporting their local venues, we are trying to offer
more chances for players to qualify for their Regional finals, and this could
also create more spaces within local venues also.
The PITP online league started on Sunday February 1st 2009 16:00.
How it works
The league will be created on PaddyPowerPoker.com that is a Poker in the Pub
NLHE Multi Table Tournament. The format of the games will be similar to a usual
Poker in the Pub format – 2,000 starting chips, usual blinds, though levels
will last 10 minutes, as opposed to the usual 15.
Players will register and play the tourney to its completion, and score
points for their finishing position, which will then be recorded and uploaded
into a cumulative League table, and displayed on both the Poker in the Pub
website and Living it Loving it forum. In addition, the buy-in will be split
each week as per PaddyPowerPoker.com standard payout structure.
The top percentage of players, providing they fulfil qualifying criteria, at
the end of the season, will win a place in their respective Poker in the Pub
Regional final at the end of the season:
| Average number of players |
Number of qualifiers |
| 5-9 Players |
3 |
| More than 9 but less than or equal to 16 |
4 |
| More than 16 but less than or equal to 23 |
5 |
| More than 23 but less than or equal to 30 |
7 |
| More than 30 but less than or equal to 40 |
8 |
| More than 40 but less than or equal to 50 |
11 |
| More than 50 |
14 |
If a player is unable to attend a regional final then their seat can be passed
to the next highest scorer, the place can only be passed down a maximum of
3 places. No substitute prize will be made available as cash prizes are available
on a week-by-week basis.
Every week, within 24 hours, the results from the tournament will be collated
and points awarded, using the same Poker in the Pub points scoring system as
usual, and the updated league table displayed.
How much does it cost?
The buy in for a normal weekly game is $4 + $0.40 – a few pence over £2, which
equates to 50p over what would cost to play Poker in the Pub at your local
venue on a pay to play basis.
Qualifying Procedures
As previously stated we do not want this to detract in any way from live Poker
in the Pub venues, and feel this should not be the case, as it is aimed at
those who find it easier to play online than maybe attend certain venues during
the week and also aims to create more qualifying spaces. This aim is primarily
to give another dimension to playing Poker in the Pub and also attract new
players.
However, whilst the online league is open to all and sundry via PaddyPowerPoker.com,
there are strict rules in place to enable players to qualify for the Poker
in the Pub Regional finals.
