each player starts with $1000

30 hands per game.

Msn allowed (teams will use it anyway so bringing it into the game will bring proper team tactics in)


Will this work?

Whos interested?

They wont be able to find us if they havent deposited any real money will they :(

I managed to register a new account the other day and get on the same server as my housemate who hasn't deposited anything so they might be able to but we might have to register different accounts.

Yes good idea.

Ive challenged them :D

I'd be up for it

Team is

Yeovil
Ben
Si
Village

anyone else wants to play they can be reserves for if we cant make it  :D


We'll whip the Oxford scum

BRING IT ON!

me me me

No response yet from the scummers....looks like they're too scared.

Maybe we should try on otib, it's pretty busy on there. Might get more response.

fuckin gayers..

Could someone post it on OTIB I dont seem able to register on that.

Well I think otib have their team ready, not sure if they have 4 or 5 players.

They want to play at 8pm one night or on a sunday.

8)

Im working this week mon - thurs but can probably play anyhow.

Sunday would probably be better though.

Sunday's aren't usually good days for me. We have a tradition in my house of getting wasted all afternoon whilst the roast is cooking  :P

Ditto, this Sunday, anytime really

Someone else can take my place then if it's sunday  :D

I'm probably going back to Cardiff on Sunday so not too convenient, is tomorrow any good for anyone?

make it a date in a few weeks when everyione is back at Uni and stuff.

Im good whenever but would prefer not to play at work if possible.

I think I will be packing for uni tomorrow, sorry  :(

I wouldn't of thought the game would be that long, maybe next monday 8pm then.

yes  8)

30 hands will take about an hour i would think?

That would be pretty good

I'd be working then. Give my place to the stand-in if you like.....

your working loads lately!

Is that because of your promotion?

Well what days aren't you working. Who's the stand-in, flammable ben? mexico red?

TBH January is a busy month for me. I have essays to write and exams to do, top that off with my late job applications it's very busy!

Mex

But monday is ok

Yeah, tonnes :(

Basically, i work every Monday-Wednesday 5pm-10pm. On top of that, i work a 3 on-7 off night rota of 10pm til 8am. Sounds complicated? It is!

So some times you work 5pm till 8am!

Thats got to be illegal.Fuck me 12 hours is 11.1/2 to long for me.

Yeah, forgot to mention that. On those nights (like tonight) i do 5pm til 5am

I see..

down with work!

i'll have your job, you can go to college in my place if you like

I'm mulling over quiting tbh, i'll put in a good word for you if i do :D

i'm considering quitting as well, so snap 8)

I wish I could quit.

Whats to stop you?

What, quit college completely? I thought one of the courses was going well?

A mortgage,a loan and a hefty credit card bill 8)

and laziness in finding something else.

ahaha ive been saying that last bit on this forum for 2 years.

Lazy Yeovil 8)

i'm skint, everyone at college are annoying cunts, i've done so little work that there's no chance i'll pass my exams and i'm probably going to get kicked off one of my courses tomorrow.

working was better. i had money

ooooooh i'm sounding like an angsty teenager again, it's just like 2004 again

If i'm ever not enjoying/tolerating what i'm doing for a living, i quit and get something else. Probably would explain why i've never been in a job more than 6 months and why i only lasted 1 year at uni :D

exactly what i do, but i usually have long periods of employment in between

What did you do at uni? My course is wank but the rest of it makes up for it!

I might go into buisness with Flamable Ben .

We are going to hire ourselves out to queit pubs so that they look busy and popular..Word will get around that its a good pub because we are in there and profits will soar.

I think it was Flammable anyway,he wont remember anyway so yes it was him.

If they pay you in free beer they will never make a profit!

sssssssssssssh

Agree with your sentiments there Si, the whole social aspect was ace, still got some really close friends from my year there. Was at Brighton Uni (Eastbourne campus) doing PE with Qualified Teacher Status. Realised after 3 weeks that i didn't want to be a PE teacher :D

Everyone still ok for 8pm tonight? May have to register a new account first so you can get on the right server.

Ooh is it still on? I forgot about this? Who are we playing and who's playing? Also we need everyone on msn don't we?

Yeah I nearly forgot but I remembered. We are playing city who I think have four players who can play tonight, not sure if they'll all remember but this is the topic. http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=50151

I think it's me, yeovil, you and I don't think village can play so mexico red or flammable ben or anyone else who's around if they're not I guess.

I'll be on MSN, but i can't play :(

I'm trying to get hold of Yeovil but he's not replying  :(

Anyone who wants a spot in the team just say here....

Should be starting at 8, just have to have a play money account on pokerroom, registering is easy enough.

I'll play aslong as I can remember my username and password etc. Need to go get some beers before it starts

Ok that's 3 people. Yeovil is still away so there's another place up for grabs. BWB let me know when the table has been set up

Can you guys invite me into the Msn bit when it gets set up, i could do with some entertainment at work

Sure thing. It's a shame there's no java on your work computer village  :(

Sorted I'm in. Someone let me know where I've got to go etc.

if its only play money, i'll join in?

Im here am I still in?

Ive lost my phone for the 4th time  :D

\ :D / Yeovil Red


I will start an MSN conversation now. Don't know your msn address BWB so add me to your contacts or something

I'm on pacific poker at the mo..in the middle of a tournament.. what program do you use?

pokerroom. I have gone off using it big time, but if it's for play money then no worries

I might join in another time if it's going down..

I'm getting dealt fuck-all in this tournament!

I couldn't even get into the table how fucking crap. It's not because my housmate was downloading as first thought either  :(

a great victory for the town lads. Made a bit of a meal out of it.

We need to organise another match again soon :nod:

If you ever need any more players, i'll play. I make a fair profit just playing tournaments - and not with very high stakes either i.e. usually no more than £10/20 entry.

whats the best way for me to learn poker on a computer? i need bucks.

it must be for free.

i don't mind reading a little then i need a place to play.

Play here OF....

www.pokerroom.com

There is stuff to read, but if you know the basics, you should probably dive straight into some play money action. I forget if you can open an account without depositing cash or not......i think you can. I'd recommend low buy-in tourneys (cash) once you start fo' real.

i know NOTHNG.

nothing.

I will upload the book 'poker for dummies' which starts off with simple explanation and then on to more advanced. Is a good read even if you do know how to play.

Poker for oxford fans:

As they seem to be in shit, maybe a game with some rotherham fans would be an ace idea. Everybody who play's donates a certain amount to the fund (fiver or tenner) and then the winner get's to decides if the pot should go to any save rotherham fund they must have going or the trust or maybe split between the two if they are feeling nice.

Just an idea...
