In Response to Re: OFFICIAL TLB2016 HEADS UP COMP THREAD. SEMI FINAL DRAW IS HERE : Yes Graham - I made the pledge of £10 per HU match won .... obviously didnt expect to run this good - but its all going to good causes. Whatever this additional pledge becomes, I think it should be split between the winner and runner up of the Heads Up challenge. Good luck everyone in the semi's Gary Posted by MonkeyGLB
Many thanks for this Gary.
I will add it to the Heads Up prize pool, for the winner and runner up's charities, as you suggested.
If there is anyone out there who hasn't sponsored yet, that would like to follow in the footsteps of MonkeyGLB and make a donation specifically to be added to the Heads Up prize pool, it would be very welcome.
Please post here if you would like to do so.
The Heads Up Semi Finalists and their charities are:
MonkeyGLB - Chestnut Tree House
mattprawn - NSPCC
IrishRose - Royal Trinity Hospice
ajmilton - MacMillan Cancer Support
At the moment, including MonkeyGLB's additional £30 pledge, there is £350 allocated specifically for the heads up prize pool.

Hi Graham
My donation is £10 for every game won. My current donation to the Heads Up tournament is at £90. Hopefully with more to come!
Rose I am away tomorrow night but available most evenings. Let me know good and bad days/times and we can make a date Looking forward to it Gary (the Monkey one) Posted by MonkeyGLB
Hi Gary

Hi Gary.
EVERY GAME WON, WOW!
I assumed it was for every MATCH won. Making it £30 for the heads up and £50 for the TLB pledge, plus £10 so far for tournament wins pledge. (Total £90)
So is it £90 for the heads up and still £60 for the other two. So £150 in total at the moment?
If that is correct then it is VERY generous of you indeed. TY so much!
If I have understood this correctly, then it makes the total prize pool for the Heads Up charities £410 atm.
I do have to warn you that the semi final is best of seven, and the final is best of nine (must win by two clear games in final only)
So it could get pricey, but it's fine if you want to put a cap on it.
Thanks again for your overwhelming generosity Gary!
Cheers
Graham
P.S. Gary. As you are donating so much to the heads up prize pool, I will let you decide if you think the charities of the losing semi finalists should get anything, or just the winner and runner up. We could perhaps do, say £50 to each of the charities of the losing semi finalists. Up to you. What do you think?

Hi Graham
Yes, my actual pledge was £10 for every game won - but look, this is for great causes and happy to donate. I know it may prove expensive but playing with some SKY friends in a fun environment is worth it and lets face it, if I took it down, it would be worth every penny
I like the idea of spreading the prizes - lets see the final HU charity prize pool and see if we can get a donation to those losing semi finalists ....

Many thanks Gary.
I thought it might be an idea if we allocated £50 to each losing semi finalist before you guys play your matches.
Worst case scenario, if you lost 4-0 (I'm sure that won't happen), then we'd still have £200 for the winner's charity and £110 for the runner up. If you do win more games, we can allocate your extra donations between first and second.
What do you think? Up to you. I just thought it would be nice to know before the semi finals are played.

Gary what about 8.30 tomorrow night to get it going. Have spoken to rose and she looked for you tonight but couldn't find you. So said would pop it on here. If you find her on a table then that way will be able to start the game, instead of waiting for her to arrive and others jumping in?
Hello Mr AJ, looking forward to the semi final. Let me know how you're fixed for our game. I can usually do most nights, so long as after 7pm. Cheers Matt (Prawn08 champ) Posted by mattprawn
Hi matty lad, any night suits me after 7pm
I'll leave it up to you, to decide what night you want to lose.
Because you will lose, look into my eyes
not around the eyes, but into the eyes
you will fold to my raise, look at the eyes
you will always fold to my 3-bet, look at the eyes
you will feel weak, and give in to my superior play

I am away for the weekend, however I do have my new tablet so may be able to play tonight. I will either search out Rose or post on here if I am about and see if we can get the Semi underway.
