Poker in the Pub

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.

Terms & Conditions

Please read the Terms and Conditions carefully before playing the Online Poker in the Pub Sunday league:

  1. Anyone/everyone is welcome to play a weekly tournament with a weekly cash prize and Poker in the Pub points for the online league.
  2. Anyone who finishes in a Regional final qualifying place MUST HAVE PLAYED AT LEAST 5 GAMES THAT SEASON IN A LIVE Poker in the Pub VENUE, OR CUMULATIVELY OVER THE SEASON AT MULTI VENUES. IF YOU DO NOT, YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REGIONAL FINAL SEAT. However, you would be eligible for the cash prize payouts.
  3. Any player who qualifies for Regional finals via the online Sunday league AND by playing a live Poker in the Pub venue, will qualify through the online league, thus creating another place in that venue for the next placed HSQ - again, more chances for people to qualify.
  4. Any eligible qualifying player for the Regional Finals will attend the Regional final local to that player and their venue in line with times/dates as advertised on theLiving it Loving it forum.
  5. Players winning cash prizes at the league end will have these paid direct into their Paddy Power Poker account with 72 hours of the league completion. A full notice of "who has won what" will be displayed on the league website/forum.
