The new Laddies.....
 

Your issues are being looked into Tony by Mgr Rich.
My issue was the 1hour late registration, Rich is trying to get it down to 15 mins max.
I quite like it tbh problems aside, better prize money. You dont make it to 10th now and lose money.

Question
 

With the late Reg : Does the player coming in late, pay BB and small blind by way of a penalty charge.. so supposing he come's in and it his BB (say50) does he pay 50 + 50bb and 25sb for his first hand :h?:.....Or does he sit straight in and only pay the blinds in the usual manner
(when it's their turn):cool:

It’s not changed much since I used to play on it on bet365, to many re buy MTTs for me, the late registration is to long (Benny, you just sit in as normal) love the deal making facility. Rounder’s are a good way of playing some high stake STT with little outlay. Lots and lots of dead money in each tournament!!! Jury still out!

Whats rounders...
 

Rounders are STTs where you win tokens for the next level. These can be spent at any level (round) (as long as you have enough) Ladbrokes copied (very poorly) them for ladders.
There are 5 rounds if you play a round 5 game and make the money 1st gets $3000 2nd gets $1200 3rd gets $800 and 4th get $500
Round 1 is $5 entry

End of Month thoughts on "new" Laddies
 

All things considered I am really enjoying the “new” Laddies poker. I have found the cash games very weak (and I am a truly awful cash game player) I must have had 20 winning sessions out of the last 21 sessions. Now they have not been huge winning sessions but in 10 days of playing cash I have climbed into the top 1000 in the rake race.

I like the fact there is so much dead money in MTTs early on and it is possible to build good chip stacks by betting with the nuts and you will be called (in fact I have not found a bet big enough to to stop people calling you with a gut shot draw or bottom pair). On the down side all the MTT do turn into crap shoots after 3 or 4 hours. I feel a big payout coming soon, I am getting my money in good the majority of times and all I need is for the odds to hold up in a big hand and then it will be come to daddy!!

STTs I am not enjoying these much mainly due to the fact that I have played 7 and not cashed in any, I think I will try rounder’s when my cash game is found out!!

I have started to get the odd disconnection, this has not affected me greatly yet, but if it continues or gets worse then it could become a problem.

Good post Herbie....
 

Well
 

As i have no problems with Laddies anymore:'D I can say that i didn't really have a problem with disconnection's but if i had, then i would not be happy to think i could make a big bet into a pot and find a player thinking .. then i get discoe'd .. only to find later he'd re-raised allin and won the pot and because of disconnection and couldn't do anything about getting a call in :scribe:
Mind you this could happen on any site and it's the chance you take playing online.. not nice though if it happens ..:cool:

Sigh
 

Me and my big gob, had a cash session early this morning, two tables as normal. Finish one buy in up. After a mid morning nap, and my new found belief and invincibility in my “new” cash game strategy I sit down at four cash tables, after an hour I am 3 buy ins down.:C:C Any how I regroup and focus on two tables after another hour and a half grinding away I claw back two buy ins. So net neutral for the day. The morel of the storey, don’t run before you can walk!!! Going to the pub now B (:B (:

Loool
 

I am, but have sticks will travel :cool::cool:

The jockeys on...
 

I have always played on laddies and my only issue has been disconnections,massive issue and cost me many $s only to be told by them it was isp fault and not theres. I recently got lappie and a dongle thing so I have in effect 2 connections, so if problem with one i can change to other, which so far has worked the miracle, I think the late registation is great and cant see a downside,as for late players topping up and adding on, so what, they adding to prize pot and a $20 comp has cost them $60 and the early starters have had a chance to amass chips for the $20. Think its an advantage to them but they are having to pay for it.no such thing as a level playing field, always an advantage available in some respect for all players, only answer is to play freezout structure if u not happy.I like the structure in the bigger games too. I used to play too much poker and didnt enjoy it,now I only play a few times a week and the fun is returning slowly,I have the odd live game at maybury casino and a bit online, Maybe Im lucky , its nice to win $s but doesnt matter really,Im not a secret millionaire or anything close, some seem to think[not aimed at anyone specific] they are great poker players and deserve to win all the time,just because they play premium hands and get chips in when infront. poker 70% luck and 20% experience and 10% alcohol. gla

I agree 100% with you taylormade, let’s hope the beer does the trick tonight.

well 6 pints of stella and a few southern comforts gets me to 80%,i just need to find the 20% experience, gl in the 30k herbie, might see u on final table,i havent had a hand first hour.

Well it was 8 pints of JW Lees bitter for me, (it’s very good to relieve constipation). Out of the 30k gl m8

unlucky herbie, think u should of pushed after flop when u hit the 7, he probably would of called tho as he was chipped up,think u need some more wine m8.

yep, my thoughts exactly after the cards got turned over. dont know about more wine, I am thinkinking bed time.

8 pints,9pm = pussy cat gl

I am recovering from a major opperation!!!

not good enough herbie, i had loads of them recently and it doesnt stop me,but saying that im a lot younger than you.

8-P8-P well its nearly 10pm now, its that ok?

im going to bed now,had my 10 pints and just went out of 30k too,was actually just finishing the 10th pint when i defended my bb with a tennis racket and he was attacking me with a machine gun.

o:D night night, there is always tomorrow

night night herbie, i light a candle for you in church in the morning,might help u improve the stamina. from personal experience 10 pints doesnt help your poker,i once had 22 buyins,thank flock it was only a $10 game.
