We’re approaching the last few weeks of the 2012 season, the most exciting yet, here’s the line up for the final five weeks – non regulars are invited to play in each and every one of them even if they have no overall league interest:
- 20th May – 8pm, FREE – Mix It Up Real Good plays Badugi. You are advised to read up on Badugi hands – it’s less complex than it looks – the winning hand is the lowest hand with the most unique cards (in terms of rank and suit) in it.
- 27th May – 8pm, £5.50 – The Bother Series of Poker Round 11.
- 3rd June – 8pm, FREE – The Mix It Up Real Good Grand Final! Double stacked 8-Game Mix tournament. Put everything you’ve learned over the last six months to good use!
- 10th June – 7:30pm, £22 – The BSOP SUPERSTACKED GRAND FINAL. Literally hundreds of pounds up for grabs in a special deepstacked tournament, not only for the tournament itself but also the fate of the bonus money riding on the league. Who’ll end the season covered in glory? Please note the earlier start time.
- 17th June – 8pm start, £3.30 rebuy – The Shipping Forecast. Bother: Easterly 9 or 10, aggressive, raining chips, VERY GOOD. The season ends with a 6-handed unlimited rebuy turbo tourney, WINNER TAKES ALL. Set yourself a limit. The shipping forecast? They’ll be lots of it!
Details on how to join the Bother’s Bar Home Game Club on Pokerstars is given on the BSOP page. Exciting times! Good luck everyone! Especially me!
Random bit of information here. If you have a 3DS and have downloaded the nintendo video player, there’s an animation called Little Postman which features a haunting piece of piano music that we would know better as ‘Rock Revolution’ or the theme from Interceptor.
It’s Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude. A right bugger to play on piano, apparently.
Darn phone touchscreen, although the extra ‘u’ does give the nickname a certain oriental charm.
I didn’t realise Rock Revolution was based on an existing classical piece. Just looked it up on Youtube, I can see why that would be a challenge for even an experienced pianist. The arrangement in Little Postman is mostly missing the left hand, just the melody is present really.
I only realised it was because they used it in a DDR song.
This surprises me, it always seems to be the sort of thing they’d use on a Looney Tune, or b/w film chase scene. Those were my frames of reference, anyway.
