HOGSHEAD, HORNCHURCH - 24/12/2008 : 16:15

Well done to all of you who turned up so close to Christmas- it's great to know there are still a few good, honest, upright folk out there who recognise the importance of poker over some of the more frivolous distractions at this time of year, such as spending some quality time with their families... This week's special mention again goes to Roy- not for winning (he was out first! A tad unluckily it must be said), but for supplying the delicious chocolates- if I could give you a few extra points I would! The Newmans must take the poker plaudits though- Michael taking top spot, Sean a creditable third with Mandy sandwiched between them (enter own joke here ........!) Can't tell you who won the cash except that it wasn't me. There WILL be a game next Tuesday (30th) although I will be unable to attend due to a very inconvenient birthday (mine). Have fun those of you who do and good luck with last chance Top Guns qualification- go on James we're all rooting for you...! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and see you in the New Year. Phil xxx

HOGSHEAD - 16/12/2008 : 23:30

Well done to Jay for making it two points wins on the trot. However, tonight's special mention must go out to James who went out in the first hand when he hit top pair with his AK only to find out that "The Power" had flopped Broadway! Chin up mate, your time will come. Paul and Mandy shared the cash spoils with Phil on the bubble. And yes, we are open next week so see you all down there for some festive fun and frolics...

The Castle, Basingstoke - 12/12/2008 : 0:01

Due to the amount of players we now have at the Castle we frequently running late. Therefore we are changing the start time to 7 pm with immediate effect. We will not play poker on christmas day and new years day, instead we will be playing these sessions two days earlier 23rd and 30th December respectively. Thanks for the continued support and see you all next week at 7pm.

HOGSHEAD - 09/12/2008 : 23:48

Congratulations to Jay for pipping Phil to win the points game and so become the winningest player at the Hornchurch venue (for the time being...!) A couple of new/old faces swelled the numbers into double figures for the cash game which was eventually won by Paul, beating Jay and Dan into second and third respectively. See you all next week for more suck outs and bad beats...

GPCA Harlow - 09/12/2008 : 11:13

Another good night was had by all especially me as i took Kev C out in the first hand of the point game I flopped a set of nines and Kev flopped a set of eights Sweet was the taste of victoryand as he knocked me out in the first hand the previous week i suppose honours are even. Ian A won the points game with the amazing strategy of going blind in virtually every hand can't get a tell of him that way! Just to remind all our players the next weeks game will be played in the "Red Lion" public house in Potter st due to the club being booked for a private party. Also we hope to be starting a new day (tuesdays) in the "Crusader" public house in Roydon as soon as it can be arranged. Regards to all

Greetings gamblers! It's true, numbers have dwindled at the Hogshead of late but the hardcore are still turning up week in week out and good on 'em. As you are all aware, there have been some teething problems with scores going up on the site but you can now rest assured scores will be posted immediately after each week's game. Hopefully this will encourage a few familiar faces to return- you know who you are... Congratulations to Roy who had his first win in the points game and a special mention must go out to "The Power" who has now won four of the last five cash games! Lastly. welcome to our newest recruit, James, who is entertaining us all with his enthusiastic and unpredictable playing style. It would be great to see more people down there on a Tuesday night and return Hornchurch to the lively venue it used to be...

Another good night was had by all. Congratulations go to Wayne B who won the points game but a very special mention has to go to Sarah H who came third in her very first poker game, well done.A hard fought cash game saw Simon and Kevin sharing the prize pot due to running out of time with Chris coming in third. I will see you all next week. Would all players please note that the game on the 15th of Dec has moved location due to the GPCA beeing booked for a company do.

Di Barton, one of the top gun winners has finally won at her local event. Di plays regularlly in Woking Yates had finally won after beating Ramin Khorshidi in a terrifying battle. when the game came to heads up Di was chip leader but then came the emotional rollercoaster. It was a valliant effort by Ramin but was not good enough to defeat Di. Congratulations to her and hope that she continues with her awsome form.

Congratulations go this week to Vito on his stirling win in the points match.

Second prize of £21went to Jamie Herbert who was crushed completely in the final hand with Quad Aces by Johnny Fung who walked away £35 richer. As an aside I enjoyed completely my stardom on Saturdays live poker matches on Sky TV as the studio guest.

Changes to The Poker project from July 1st 2008 - 17/06/2008 : 12:32

From July 1st, The Poker Project will be making some changes. Firstly it will be free to play from now on (so no £5 cover charge to pay for your host and admin costs). The first game will be for points only and the second game will be a small stakes cash game in line with the Gambling Act. Players will be allowed to bet a maximum of £5 and the pot can be a maximum of £100. The payout will be to the top 3 and will be 100% of the pot. The nights will be hosted in house by the pub manager, landlord or a member of staff. From July the periods will last 2 months. There will be a TOP GUNS tournament every 2 months. The top 20 points and average players from each region will be invited to play and there will be SKY POKER experiences awarded to the top 8 finishers. The nights will now start at 7.30pm and blinds will be every 10 minutes and you will have a starting stack of 4000 chips. All venues and hosts have been contacted about these changes and you will soon see new posters in your venues detailing the changes. We hope you all continue to play with The Poker Project and enjoy the new changes!
