The Lowdown

A quick rundown of the main online events going on at PL Poker -
which can also be found at www.cloud-gets-his-ass-kicked.co.uk

Firstly we have the PL Poker heads-up tournament.
A 64 player event hosted by Betfred.
5000 chips each, with normal blinds – so it promised some long games.
Some games were quick – one only lasted 3 minutes, some games lasted over an hour, and then there was the epic match between Valiant and Pistonbroke. This match finally finished after 4 and a half days, three boxes of Pro Plus and two cases of repetitive strain injury.
This week we have the final.
The Hungarian Assassin against The Earl of Essex.
Rosco v Hodgey.

Next we have the Sporting Odds MTT league – every wednesday in September.
The top two players will take a seat at the Midlands Masters Pro-Am Invitational.
Pocket Lady leads the way with one event to go, with three very solid performances, and will be hoping to grab the league winner’s avatar – pictured left - and there will be a scramble at the bottom trying to avoid the loser’s avatar (right).

We also have the Punters Lounge Poker rankings – where one focus game every day is picked, and in each game a player can earn ranking points. At any time when a player is ranked number one they can have the letters BPP after their name – which stands for Best Poker Player (and not Bloody Party Poker as some PL players might think).

On Monday, the Titan Freeroll and League series will be starting.
3 games of no-limit holdem, and the final game of Omaha Hi-Lo Pot Limit – which will see the chatbox awash with “Why have I got 4 cards”, “How did I win that pot ??” and “Can somebody please pass the Paracetamol."

So, Cloud has failed in the Heads Up, is nearly last in the Sporting Odds MTT, 81st in the rankings - but there is absolutely no reason why I can't do the clean sweep in the Titan series.
Absolutely no reason - at all. Absolutely.

And you now probably realise that http://www.cloud-gets-his-ass-kicked.co.uk/ doesn't actually exist - because I know you clicked it - didn't you???
