Time to nip this FOSP Wednesday game in the bud? Am I even allowed to suggest this?! Posted by hhyftrftdr
Evening Harry, always a pleasure, feel free to come and play it anytime. People are putting time into organising it and administrating it, Sky are supporting it with great prizes every month. Try it you might like it, would be good to see you enjoying a game with us instead of sniping from the side-lines..... What's not to like about a friendly game of poker with some added value?
Final FOSP Holdem League table for November, well done to MacMonster who wins this weeks game and to ChipsMargo who with two wins from two games takes a fine win in the monthly competition and bags himself a free £33.00 Sky Sports Bounty Hunter seat.
I appreciate the invite Simon but I have zero interest in playing it whatsoever. And you know why.
I have however noticed it's significant decline in numbers, barely making 20 runners weekly. How many people are in the FOSP group out of interest?
It kicks off at the same time as a £200 gtd £5 tourney, and that gets double the numbers of this week in week out....just seems like its a rather pointless tournament clogging up what is already quite a busy night for decent tournaments (Rebuy, mini and megastack all start with an hour of FOSP).
Feel free to keep the blinkers on, but the facts speak for themselves. Surely the people involved realise it needs a kick up the backside to preserve it no? Or are you all just too scared to even speak up?
Simon, do you not have a concern that even with Skys support, this is in rapid decline? Do you not think they might reconsider their position if it continues to get less than 4 full tables of players week in week out?

It may surprise you to hear that I agree with pretty much all of this, you're right, it has struggled to find it's place in the schedule and I think the clashes you highlight are very valid.
Nobody is blinkered and I'm sure that most of the players who try to play regularly would like to see more runners and a bigger prize pool, arguably some of them (me included, although I'm struggling to find time to play at the moment) would prefer to see a few tweaks to the tournament structure too.
I guess such things are a matter of perspective, some people will see difficulties and immediately be predicting Armageddon, some even doing so gleefully which when you think about it is quite a sad reflection on their outlook in life. Others will try to find the positives in a less than ideal situation, will persevere and will try to find a way to build on those positives and create something good.
Now....... at various times in my life I have been very firmly in both of those camps, and believe me, I'm more than happy to be back in the latter right now because the former is a pretty dark place! I'll continue to help where I can trying to make a success of this fun community tournament. It's a shame you've decided to take the other option, it actually makes me feel a little sorry for you, just think of that big bright world you're missing out on.
Simon, do you not have a concern that even with Skys support, this is in rapid decline? Do you not think they might reconsider their position if it continues to get less than 4 full tables of players week in week out? Genuine questions. Posted by hhyftrftdr
Wow....... for something you have absolutely no interest in you really do seem to be paying it a little too much attention, maybe go out and do something more exciting with your time?

Simon, I was booted from the FOSP group for having the audacity to question the timing of a post by Dave. It was made clear, in no uncertain terms, that its his way or the highway and out I went. So then do you really expect me to play in their tournament? So I didn't ''take the other option'', it was forced on me.
And if not playing a 20 runner MTT every Wednesday night is me missing out on some big bright world...so be it.
Sounds like there are a few unsavoury characters in that group anyway. Dare to offer an opinion and you're left hung out to dry it seems.
