The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2020

Now, there are a limited number of Kings, Aces, etc (4 values, 1 for each suit). This becomes more important with a larger number of teams. So say your team is #15, but all the aces are drawn for positions 2, 7, 9 and 12. You cannot get the maximum number of points because you cannot draw an Ace.

 

Yes but it is just as likely statistically the 4 aces will be in positions 13 to 24 as 1 to 12. There would only be an advantage to having an earlier allocation if you were given the best cards rather than a random card.

Well, that's the point really, it's not a question of getting in early or late. It's up to the players to decide when they submit a team. It's not an encouragement to get in early or leave it to the last minute, because who knows what the cards will hold.

 

It's a bonus for all players. Could you be lucky and get 6 Aces in the monthly draws? Unlikely.  But it might be an indication of which position you submit your team has the luck of the bonus. Remember, this could swing it in a close match. It's a bit of fun that makes sure everyone is playing by 31 July.

Well... I hope I just fumble my way to victory as it almost happened last year with my lucky clusters of pairs and triples..

The Casino will be playing Vera Lynn through the loudspeakers all day.

 

While she is not the first to fall pre-game, players who picked her should report to their Inbox in Reception.

We are changing the tune over the loudspeakers today. It will be the Theme from Chariots of Fire in honour of Ian Holm who has died today.

 

Could the two players who picked him report once again to Reception to notify the management of a replacement, please?

Who is Rubert McCain? If it's Roberta she's ineligible. Not famous in her own right, not supercentenarian, not oldest in country.

Just sent in a not very thought out poker squad, and as such don’t expect to do too well. But I’m sure it’ll be fun anyways. Good luck everyone. :)
