BIshopton Bounty Night

Last Sunday was the inaugural Bishopton Bounty night downt 'local. A couple of the Poker regulars and I decided it would be fun to hold a deepstack bounty game as the games we always play are pretty short stacked. The three of us met up a couple of nights before to plan things, I was assigned the role of Banker, mainy I think so I'd be the one that got carted off if we got busted by the rozzers, lol!. So if I was the banker I guess that makes Andy the professor and Nori the suicide King.

The game was a £15 Buy in, with £5 of that counting as a bounty. Everybody playing received 5,000 starting chips and one special bounty chip which had to be surrendered to the player that bust you out. The word was put out about the big game, we were expecting about 25 plaeyrs.

Come the big day the three of us got down to the pub early to set up the tables and chips. It had been raining solid for about a week and the weather on the big day was even wetter than the preceding days, consequently we didn't get quite as good a turnout as expected.... and the players had to contend with an obstacle course of cunningly placed forklift truck pallets serving as stepping stones to gain entry to our exclusive event. Our surroundings weren't quite as plush as the Bellagio as our poker venue was in the midst of a refit but 15 players braved the weather and other obstacles to sit down to what turned out to be an excellent evening.
