PT Poker League Season 2 Postponed

Due to a lack of interest, we are postponing season 2 until later in the year, or in the dead of winter.

Weekly games will still take place on Full Tilt so check PT for details.

Season 2 Point Structure

After some good debate and lots of help from zaxxon, we have arrived at a new scoring system.

Anyone who cashes in a PT Tournament will receive 1 point per dollar won. We will count decimals.

Anyone who does NOT cash but does make the Final Table will receive 1/10 the points of the first place finisher that week.

For example, looking back at a tournament from season 1, I have added the points that each player would have received under the new scoring system:

1: Sweetslowplay, $148 - 148
2: jester32, $85.10 - 85.1
3: Drygoods, $59.20 - 59.2
4: schwertner2, $44.40 - 44.4
5: AceetobeeA, $33.30 - 33.3
6: Rabbits1221 - 14.8
7: the college - 14.8
8: Chus - 14.8
9: phishjorgy - 14.8
10: SportsBuff - 0

Obviously the bigger the fields the better.

PT Poker League Season 2, Week 2

Time flies, especially with things like holidays in the way. We did apparently run a tournament last night, but with only 9 players it seems like, for this week anyway, week 2 will be THE week to play.

See you at the tables tonight at 9:00pm!

Tuesday PT Poker (inaugural)!

Thanks to our TD MBlume, PT Poker debuts on a second night tonight. If you played yesterday, those points (or lack of) are locked. Play tonight and bust the leaguers! If you didn't play last night then you get a second chance at points tonight.

Points system is being discussed, but we can talk more at the tables. Remember, league payments are not due until week 4.

See you at the tables.

Season 1 Finale Tonight!

That's right folks, season 1 of the PT Poker League wraps up tonight. It has been a really fun 12 weeks, and I hope we are able to run another season soon. In the end, I think the points system worked out well. As of week 10, everybody was still alive, even those with zero points!

At this time, I do not have a specific date in mind to start the next season. I will email the group if we come to a consensus. A short 10 week season starting next Monday would wrap up right before the Jones Beach shows. Feedback would be appreciated.

Please note that all season 1 prizes will be transferred to the winners on Full Tilt by 7pm tomorrow at the very latest.

Tiebreakers Updated

League standings have been updated to include a second tab, which shows the current tiebreaker situation. If you recall, the first tiebreaker is the total money won during the PT Poker tournaments.

Here are the current money standings, for those who have cashed:


This means that if the season ended today, BigSlick2174 would secure the fifth and final pay position, as he has cashed more than CreamyJ. I find it HIGHLY unlikely that we will have to go to a second tiebreaker, so, at this time, I will not be compiling those standings.

PT Poker League: At the half

We are officially halfway through our first season of the PT Poker League. As each league member has now had at least 2 zero point performances, all scores the rest of the way will count towards the standings (if you recall, top 10 results over the 12 weeks count).

I would also like to start thinking about season 2. With summer on the way, I am sure many would want to wrap up any second season before the Phish tour comes our way in June. A ten week second season would wrap up the Monday before the "summer" tour starts, so that may be an option.

I would also like to gather feedback on the scoring system, in hopes to improve things for season 2. I, for one, think that the current system is too exclusive, and skews the points too much for top 1 or 2 finishes. If you have some ideas, please use the comment box below the share them.

Rules update!

After some thought, I am adding one more rule to the league.

NO DEAL MAKING

If you are caught making a deal at the final table, you will automatically be assigned the lowest ranking of the players remaining when the deal was made.

Here is an example scenario:

You are heads-up with a player that is NOT in the league. You tell him that you will give him some of the first place money if he lets you win (thus earning yourself additional league points). In this scenario, you be ranked 2 in the tournament, even if you win. You cannot make a deal to increase the league points you get in any given tournament.

I will be capturing the hand histories, which will show all chat at the final table, so beware.
