bubbled,,all in with 10/10 called by A/K,flop was good for me then the turn killed me.better game tonight than last night so no complaints

[shogun25]

shoved all in with ak .2 callers kk aa .that diminished my stack substanially ,im wondering if i could have got away from that hand with the obligatory raise ,because the other 2 were certainly going all in ?

[shogun25]

come the wednesday or thursday night and you aint got a cat in hells chance of winning through ,i cant see the benefit of entering ,unless really small field .ild prefer to stick my cash on the 500 added tourney ,in my opinion i think they should have ran it over the entire time of the promotion and the top 6 qualified ,saying that the same would happen ?

when did they add this... ?

You will be awarded points for your position in the previous evenings game, and your day's qualifying raked hands will be added to your points at the rate of 1 point per ten raked hands in that given 24 hour period. For example, if you came 2nd in Monday night game and played 19 raked hands in the 24 hours during the 1st June, then you will be awarded a total of 22 points.

finished 4th last nights game but didn't play any raked hands as was under the impression it was just tourney points.... has really put me off this promo now

[glceud]

Just been on to live support the max points from raked hands is 50, which would take 500 raked hands I must have done 200 on Monday without really noticing.

[GeordieGaz]

is that 50 points per day or for the full week ed?

That's pretty poor if they're sliding clauses like that in after the launch

[SteveO]

I guessed that the raked hands would come into play in this one as it's pretty much the same structure as the Gibraltar promotion.

Pretty slow on letting everyone know though but it's still a decent promo.

[GaF]

Having not studied it properly yet - is there any chance for someone not playing raked hands? Is there any proper added value for anyone not playing the RH? (Sorry RB - yes I am thinking about the staking - dont worry about it for the moment though - no matter what happens I'll finish this week off )

[SteveO]

If you don't play the 50 raked hands you have no chance realistically of winning Gaf. Does anyone know who won the previous two nights games so we have an idea of how many points the leaders have accumulated without the raked hands?

dirtycaller won last night..

the maximum points a player can get for the week with tournament points is 100 (4* 1st's).... will be interesting to see how many points win it this week as they have only just added in the clause so whatever the total is this week, it is likely to be higher next week..

I'm with SteveO in that you probably will need to play raked hands to have any chance...

Dont remember your staking plan but unless you were planning on going to Blackpool with RB its still $500 gtd with occasional bounties might be 100% overlay today and tommorow.

I only did the raked hands on Monday for the Sunday Roast and the bad beat had plenty full ring tables before it was won. Its hard to get raked hands on microgaming unless you play 6max.

[GeordieGaz]

just been on to live support for clarification...

[Colette] Welcome to Stan James Poker Live Support, how can I help you?
[geordiegaz] hi, just a query regarding the four dartsmen promo..
[Colette] Hello
[geordiegaz] the raked hands..... is it a maximum of 50 points a day you can get or 50 points for the week?
[Colette] 50 points for the week
[geordiegaz] ok and what is classed as a raked hand? (what stakes?)
[Colette] http://www.stanjames.com/poker/Promo...g2006111495512
[Colette] All info may be found using the above link
[Colette]
Raked hands which count towards the entry requirement must rake a minimum of 25c

[geordiegaz] ahhh ok, that's great colette, thanks :-)
[Colette] Your welcome

[GeordieGaz]

based on the above post, my working out is that there needs to be $5 in the pot for a rake of 25c to be taken? think that's correct?

I don't play cash very much and I certainly don't play at the levels required to earn points here so will probs just play the games for the added value rather than worry about the league

[kippe6]

i think the rake adds up over a few hands up to 25c then it clocks 1 hand not sure though

[Beekeeper]

The best way to get raked hands is on the plo8 tables.

(note to self) I cant play omaha hi/lo.
