    Is there still scope to pick names for TP?

    I'd like to see TheGrudge up there and Alex McWhinney (sp?) the Pianoplaya.

    And if you wanted a court jester......

    Morning Mr Bluster.

    There is still time - just! The Week 5 picks are revealed this Saturday, which leaves next week as the 6th & Final week of "regular" picks. It is possible that there will be one or two no-shows or replacements of the original eighteen picks of course.

    As to "picking" names, well they kind of pick themselves, by the established pre-qualifying criteria.

    The twelve picks so far & a great mix, & there was a tremendous TP buzz in Newcastle at the SPT, aided by 4 of them being there, & a fifth getting the nod that night!

    One of the guys should have picked me to coach, anyone can coach Man U, Chelsea etc, but try getting through the leagues with a Sunday morning pub team and prove how good a mentor you really are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't speak for the other mentors, but I'm not trying to prove anything. I just want to win...

    Hi Guys -  haven't really looked into this since it was announced, or seen the show.

    From what Dohhh has told me, its the top 50 cash winnings players of each level, per week?

    Say in one week I won £500 on the 20/30/40nl levels but in the same week I lost £200 on the 50/100nl levels, would the profit from the lower levels be affected?

    How do I know if I've been selected?  How long does it have left to run? 

    Cheers my dears.

    Aup Scotty, the last seection period, started on Thursday and runs until Wednesday - Anything u win in that week at low stakes (NL30 and below), or your net profit, will hopefully get you into the top ten in that catagory, then hopefully they will give you the call on tuesday/wednesday next week....


    When I was selected I was playing almost only NL50, with occasional games at NL20 and 30 for mastercash etc, so I think my winnings at NL50 were counted, they must have been. As long as u play 7 individual sessions at low stakes you should be alright - and you do that all at one time! -  not certain though.

    GL, DOHH

    allright i'#ll look into it, course you'd win lol, man how sick is 'weareontv' he literally defines hit n run, yesterday we played ike 6 hands and he got it in for a buy in at 2/4 qq v jj and insta quit, today he got it in maybe 3 hands in with QQ for a buy in v a str8 flush draw and stacked me again and insta quit, it'd be interesting to play a session with him where he doesn;t run like god, and insta quit,
    For luton whats the prize pool, and likely entrants, so sick there will be fireworks in a cash game if 1 gets going :)

    Is now too late to get on the shortlist for David's last picks. Is it still possible to make the top 50 to be selected? If so, when is the deadline?

    Thanks

    I have no idea why BrownnDog was close to selection tonight, he didn't submit this hand.

    />Beginning a new hand.223718440
    />launder posted a small blind £1.
    />Vectisman posted a big blind £2.
    />stien joined this hand.

    />BrownnDog raised for £18.

    />Unmatched chips returned to BrownnDog
    />stien showed Ah,Ac
    />BrownnDog showed 7d,Ad
    />stien has won the hand (£900.60) with Two Pairs, Aces and Jacks (Ah,Ac,4s,Jd,Jh)

    His turn call is very fishy, on the river what's he folding that bet pot on the turn? He's only ahead of a lower flush draw that he beats by checking and can AK/AQ fold to his effective shove of £152?
