What the forums are saying about round 1

[trustme]

Theres some quite interesting stuff going on around the forums after last nights games...heres the highlights:

LADBROKES:
Team Ladbrokes are trying to work out if they should be soft playing against each other "like punterslounge" or just go for it. Heres a quality quote:
good show from those that took part, but only 15 of us? Do we really want to finish behind a bunch of fruit machine addicts?
The Ladbrokes team is going to be a lot stronger for the next game, some of the big guns are coming out to play!

FRUITCHAT:
Lack of luck seemed to be the biggest problem for fruitchat!
its completly about luck on this site
I never seem to get good cards either, on Ladbrokes I seem to have much better luck.. Surely they must use the same method to deal the cards tho??
Although according to fruitchat its ladbrokes that are now telling each other what hands they have got.
Although in the end they were all very happy with joes final placing of 4th and rightly so.

LONDON POKER MEETUP:
They want to know whos who from now on instead of nearly knocking each other out without knowing.
I think the best comment overall came from here:
One thing I would like to mention is the 'team play' theme, this is going round ALL the forums at the mo and IMHO I think every1 should play there own game. If u want to steal my blind , go for it but honestly theres no point to checking out pots to team mates (your giving opposition reads) or folding to raises from team mates (showing weakness which might impact that big ALL IN raise you want to do with an under pair ... MOI surely not ). So play your game and gl
This team is going to step up their recruitment drive, so I expect them to come back stronger in the next game.

teamholdem:
not really sure they know whats going on yet...will work on them over the next week or so, I sent the details to over 100 members a couple of hours before the tournament and I expect them to outnumber punterslounge in the next game.

PUNTERSLOUNGE:
My god they are confident:
Don't be surprised mate, I told you during our private game last night that PL have it in the bag before it's begun and it seems I've been proved right!
Bringer of tilt Waltypies has got some enemys:
You will get your mate Walty to play in the next one won't you
Great turnout from team punterslounge, 44 entrants and they have a 46 point lead to take into the next game. Top quote from eventual winner plROSE:
I don't care what they think really, if they're too stupid to work out Rose might be a girls name, then I'm looking forward to seeing them at a table near me soon

GAMBLING.CO.UK:
Reckon i can put elblande on TILT?? Waltypies makes an appearence and some new enemys
FirePhil out in 24th, and trust_me in 22nd bubbling the bubble.

Event one - our result: Gambling.co.uk = 21 runners, 0 points, $-42
That sums it all up really! Although we all obviously last to bad beats and bad play by all the other teams...got to be the only reason why we are last! Think we need to finish in all of the top 20 places in the next one.

Nice summary trust_me. Entertaining reading

Thanks for all your help with getting the other forums on board too. I'm hoping if this is successful to make this a monthly event. Each season lasting 3 months.

We must get some more players for the next event! 21 players yielding 0 points isn't good enough! I will approach some BPMG members - though not post on the board for fear of spamming - and see if I can get some more players.
