Ok TPE after two successful cycles we're about to kick off a third on TUES 28th AUG, 19:30 ACST…. $30 buyin, full-ring, 5K starting stacks, 10 min levels, winner takes all!  

As with our other cycles, 50% of all winnings is pledged to a prize pool that will be awarded to the champ to compete in a live tourney (e.g. $1k Aussie millions event).  The champ will own a 50% share of him/herself and the remaining 50% will be apportioned to the rest of the qualified members on the basis of their accumulated points.

This cycle will consist of 8 tournaments and players will have to play at least 4 to qualify. Points will be calculated as follows….

Points = 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]

Where:

n is the number of entrants 
k is the place of finish (k=1 for the first-place finisher, and so on) 
b is the buy-in amount in US Dollars (excluding entry fee). 

20 participation points will also be awarded for each game played.

New players are welcome…. follow these instructions to join:

- If you don't already have it, download the free PokerStars software from www.pokerstars.com
- Open the main poker lobby, then click on the Home Games tab
- Click the 'Join a Poker Club' button
- Enter my Club ID number: 599417
- Enter my Invitation Code: positiveEV

That's it! Once I've approved your membership request, we'll be ready to start playing Home Games online together.

If you want to find out more, visit www.pokerstars.com/homegames
 
Good luck guys, you're guarenteed to have a blast and improve your game!

just want to reinforce how good for your game this is, i feel like it helps my game a ton in terms of game flow, ranging and adjusting to opponents

yep – i feel like i crushed in the first season because i ran good, but also becasue i think i adjusted to everyone pretty quickly. 

 

then in season 2 everyone had adjusted to me  but i hadn't stayed 1 step ahead and thats why i sucked. 

 

bring on season 3

Hi guys. Benny’s been giving me some info on this coz I live in WA. Didn’t realize there was a thread for it 😉
Also didn’t realise the time diff is only 1.5 hrs so I might be able to get in sometimes depending on work and family stuff. Dont spose there’s late rego at all? If not that cool as can’t commit to every week ATM.

Hi guys,

been invited to join you as I can play the times you play (beauty of shift work), rather than setup seperate Euro version.

 

Have filled out application on PS, so hopefully will be able to play with you guys today. Go easy on the Pomme…..yeah right lol

 

Cheers

Hi guys, after kicking up a fuss to get in this and missing out. Thought I should apologise for not playing the last 2, when I thought I would be able to. Unfortunately, last week real life got in the way with workman round the house and work got in the way yesterday. It's not looking good for the rest of the month either now. So, it's prob a little late now to make any kind of impact on the league but if you guys  are ok with it, if I get a chance I would still like to play a game or 2 with you. Cheers again

you can jump in any time, more than welcome. 

 

cousteer can confirm but i think there is 4 more rounds left of cycle 3, so maybe you can jump in for a game or two before then and then if you like it you can get ready for cycle 4.

Yep, 4 more games left in this cycle…. You will need to play at least 4 to qualify. We would love to welcome some fresh faces.

Thanks again guys – hopefully I'll make at least one before end of cycle and try to get fully involved for next one.

 

PS is that fresh faces or fresh blood? wink

Stars has scheduled a server restart that clashes with tonight’s HomeGame. Looks like we’ll have to let this week slide. Could be a great opportunity for a Skype study session.

Hi all, 

Sorry for my lack of updates… no excuses, just slack.  With three games to go there is still plenty of room to move.  Its good to have Donskey and Mcgcork in the mix this cycle as Duggs has already secured a ticket! We currently have $645 in the kitty so we're on track for another juicy live entry.  Here's the up-dated leaderboard:
