Does this site no offer part points? I have no points at all in cashier tab! And I did play a pot that was around 6 Euros (not a lot to some I know). 


Does the rake have to be a minimum of $1 before I earn any points? I'm glad I found this site and the community seems great! But my bankroll isn't the highest right now and I can't play at stakes where a dollar will be raked that often.

Mini FTOPS 20 thread...

anyone in??

gl all if you are

Hello Guys and girls,

New to this site and finding way around (more like stumbling) and found this place so thought I'd say hi and introduce myself. (In the vague hope someone cares I am here). Anyway, if this isn't the place to do that apologies! (But should be more clear :P). Is there any kind of forum or something to go with this site?

Just got second in an Irish open stage 1 satellite for 50 euros :)  It was only 4.40 euros to enter and i didn't rebuy or add on so nice little profit :).  I also flopped quad kings during it...always nice to see :)

London Live has been great so far ....... she says whilst lying in bed still recovering from Friday night (I'll come back to that later).  I was fortunate enough to interview all the pros playing in 1A - and all but one were extremely pleasant & willing to talk (Neils interviews were stellar as always & Nik obv wanted to make extra work editing for me by starting his interview with "Ive done my b@!*%$@s"!!!).

After my work was done I thought I'd have a quick OJ in the bar before heading home to rest before I took to the tables for day B........this wasn't meant to be. Jesse May spots me &, having interviewed him earlier, states he is buying me a drink - how can I refuse? So a V&O shortly follows - then I'm joined by regular BBPers such as FalconAyr, MavPerth,Betyama,TFMonty, Niall Farrell and Peter Vasiliou (probably missed a couple off -sorry but I'm half asleep!)....and a few more "the is my last one" vodkas followed. I don't think it was anything to do with the mandy singles I had, but the sneaky double that steve dickson MADE me drink, that was to blame for playing day B with a raging hangover!!! Somehow managed tomake it past the dinner break though - so no day 2 for me (although I will be there later cheering y'all on) - just packed my wonderwoman outfit away until the next London Live. 

A great weekend - great to meet you all face to face.  Best of luck to those still in :-)

With the hands that I'm currently getting dealt in PLO I've decided that I'm now going to turn into a Badugi specialist....

ouch busto,had 42k....raised preflop with kj diamonds..small blind called..flop4d6d 9h...small blind raises 7k ,i jam all in,,,,he has As 4h...he calls...missssssed....NEVER MIND....great day...gl to everyone left in.

I know everyone has already been singing the praises of London Live but I've only just got back home and feel I have to join in. It was a fantastic weekend, would have been nice to see some cards but I did manage to hang in there for a while. Great structure. 

Really good to meet all the people I did too, nice to put some faces to names, (and real names to screen names.) Massive thanks to Nik, Neil Snoopy and the whole BBP team for the organisation, and for having the time to chat and drink with us little people. Jesse May was and is a legend, was an honor to meet him. 

Finally, I don't know if they read this forum but also the two guys who were doing the live feed, at least one of which was called Paul if I remember rightly, were top blokes. Stayed in the bar with them until 4am watching boxing, and nursing a poorly hobbit. Right, that's enough rambling.

Right, time to spend the next Hell Knows How Many Hours trying to configure HEM......maybe there is some paint drying around here somewhere!

What a fantastic event BBP LIVE was,meeting all the famous poker players,playing with some of them ,was a great experience for me and finally meeting the bbp team was worth the journey from Cyprus.I woud like to thank everybody for being so nice to me.Great to see old friends like keith,Neil and Peter,who i have not seen for 7 years.FANTASTIC,when is the next one MR.CHANNING?

Very appropriate for the White Belt Board  I feel you need to Know that Not only did I take out  the lovely reagulars of Carey nd Mandy  ( UL gals )   I also Took a 20 min  break headed to the chinese picked up some food and  re joined the FT  and then  Took it Down.........

My HEM is wrong when using it on the Ipoker network... I finished my first session £0.50 up (Major I know) and HEM shows as -$1.08. I did the Get current rates and also fix hands but to no avail... Has my $80 software now become useless, because if so this maybe a deciding factor in using this card room? :(

I posted this in the wrong place first time (Shut it!) so if you see it twice you either found both pages or you've had to much to drink  :P

Hi, guys. A simple thread, but I thought it might be interesting. Please could you post your most interesting hand from the London Live and your thoughts. 

Mine was actually my exit. Blinds 200/400, 16,000 stack. I made a speculative raise to 1,050 from mid-position with K-To. BB, unknown player, called. Flop = Q-x-J rainbow. Villain (comfortable chips) checked, I bet 1.8k, he raised to something like 4.3k. I thought my stack was too small to flat, and I didn't think I had enough to get him off the turn if he led, so I decided to push. I thought I had decent fold equity, and that if he called I would have outs, including the king if he had something like A-Q. I was only really worried about A-Q and Q-J as I though J-J to A-A would raise preflop. I was wrong though - he had A-A and I bricked. 

ps. I guess this is technically 'hands', but thought I'd make a Poutashi-esque ;-) exception.

Anyone playing the GUKPT £300 2 day side event starting tonight at the Vic?

'Poker Pro's you played against at London Live ..... add your experiences here .....

Ian 'The Raiser' Frazer - aptly named :-) put in a standard preflop raise, he tanks then boooom ALLIN 45xbb reraise ;-) it sort of works, as I folded a pair once when I did not realise I had him comfortably covered, I should have taken a shot at a race. 

Hi, It says that I'm an orange belt on the home page, will I be eligibale to play the tuesday league comps or not??....just last time it wouldnt let me register for it, Im not sure why, any help much appreciated ...thanks :-)

gl to everyone playing today.......

On behalf of the Cardroom staff at the Vic.
I would like to thank all those players that gave such a generous tip. 
We hope that all those who played over the 3 days have enjoyed their experience of live poker at the Vic and look forward to seeing you all again.
Best Wishes
Steve Cleary (cardroom supervisor)

Had a great day out yesterday 

Didnt make Day 2 but enjoyed it all the same. 

Great structure and some great players present - not often you find such good players in such a reasonably priced comp (at my table i had Ramsey, Laurence H and Alex Rousso). So probably the best table in terms of quality of oppenent ive sat at. What suprised me most was how friendly everyone was. 

How did i do - well i didnt make day 2.....but went away smiling. After all there is always another tourney.

Got a few buddies going back for day 2 so im hoping they pull of a big suprise.

Cheers to all at Blackbelt for the great day out.

Just want to say Well Done and Good luck to everyone that is playing in the final today. It's a great acheivement to get there. I hope you all have a fantastic day. Come on you orange / purple / get it won!

Hey Guys! 

Currently new to the site and doing the same as Daniel introducing myself on this site, I will soon be doing my brains on the cash tables so look out for me. 2+2 ain't got nothing on Blackbelt

Peace Out

Does anyone else notice how much of an 'art form' poker is sometimes? Esp cash poker.. Playing the right hands at the right times and only stacking someone when 2 big hands colide? Might be the drink talking (which I know dosent normally go well with poker!) But just thinking about things..Poker is a tough game in general.. you only stack sometime when you have a bigger hand than your opponenets big hand..(which can take an age to happen) and the rest of the time your generally slowly losing money? Unless your playing with a load of fish of course..but even then they suprise you and call you down with 2nd pair or worse. lol.. funny old game poker..

I wanna play on the ipoker network and want a decent rakeback deal.. y do all of these sites not offer rakeback? anyone know a decent ipoker site w/rakeback deal?? apart from BBP of course as there deal is so amazing. I almost feel like there giving me money..
