i have a great idea for a last longer bet. We all put £75 in a kitty, and the person who lasts longest gets £3000 (and some bits and pieces), and the balance of the cash is shared amongst some other people who last a long time, but not quite as long as the person who lasted longest.

... over the last couple of I"ve read a few posts on the strongest home game ... so I thought I would lay down the gauntlet for the Scottish Championships.

"My" old London home game has three runners in the Scottish Championships.

So the challenge is for a named team of three to beat our combined finishes.

1-18 pts for the top 18 finishers (1st -18 etc ... 18th = 1pt)

Happy to take on "Vitrual Home Games" ...

My team : The HOOPER STREET MASSIVE

Gareth Derbyshire
Charles Sanderson
Louis Manson

... I look forward to the challengers ...


Ok. ..  My Team. .  . Welsh Wonders. !  !

It should be clear to all that the quality of poker in Cardiff is leagues ahead of everywhere else in the uk, so as we have such a hotbed of talent here, seems silly not to enter this and settle any discussion once and for all !!!!

My picks.  ..

Richard Rudling-Smith (rudders) Needs no introduction ........... Consistent performer, just can"t work out how????
Dylan Herbert (buffenberger) Never wastes a chip. Fearless, exacting ....and a complete card rack! !
Dan Owston (undisputed) Questionable pick  here.... but as i"m picking the team ..i"m playing..(or i"m taking my ball with me ) ! !

All from the "F**k poker, let"s just get steamin" HOME GAME.

also, our plane gets into Edinburgh @ 13.50....... failing any delays, so bound to outlast a few by missing the start .. . theres the +ev i was looking for !!  ;) ;) ;)

Money OR pride. . . . or BOTH ! ! happy to go along with whatever is decided !!

I meant it as a personal challenge between a few people from the forum but yeah ok ::)

Someone get the Home Game bet together then - who"s taking charge of it and how many teams we got so far?

I am happy to run for money or glory.

If for money - I would be happy to run the bet and hold the cash.

Will it be clear who has won on the day?

Or should I transfer via Pokerstars etc ... or direct to banks (all fine) ... the following week once the result is clear?

The only "issue" I see here is if I (or the money holder) gets killed on day 1 or early day 2 ... don"t want to be playing pass the parcel  as people are eliminated (and leave).

Thoughts?

Decide an amount. . .and how to be distributed. . . .  . ..

Maybe take money ($50 per team of 3. . . . .about £10 per head) seems a fun and reasonable amount. . . . every team transfers you the money on stars pre-event.....

you distribute prizes agreed on the monday . . .transfer back on stars ??  ?

minimum hassle for you, and more beer drinking time freed up for the weekend  ? ?

Very happy to run with this suggestion ... $50 from team captain (or $16.67 per player) on Stars ... does that work for everyone?

Winner takes all ... (okay?)

Guys,

I will be there for the whole weekend.  Am not involved in this, so if you want someone to hold the money, more than happy to do so.
