    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

    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.

    Best of luck!

    Cheers,

    Graham

    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.

    All the best, and thanks again!

    Cheers,

    G

    Great! I'm sure the other semi finalists will be very happy that they have each already secured at least £50 for their respective charities.

    Thanks again for your generosity.

    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
    Look at my eyes

    So any night after 7  would be great, matty lad gl

    Quick question for Graham, how big is the trophy?
    I going to order the cabinet, 
    so need to know what size, cheers.

    Regards Alan (plo8 champ and the prawn cracker)

    These trophies, do they get presented or dropped off by white van man ( woman ).Ah, 30 second slot on tuesdays  skypoker night.
    Posted by chilling


    I will try and get them presented. Hopefully there'll be a UKPC early next year which may present an opportunity.

    I did have to send GSmith13's TLB trophy through the post last year, as we didn't manage to meet up.

    However hopefully we will be able to find an opportunity to do something "official".

    Cheers,

    Hi Rose/Angel 

    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.
