Due to technical issues experienced during Sunday 24th of April our much liked monthly tournament Beat the Activist was cancelled. We have re-scheduled the tournament for this coming Sunday instead.  Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.

If you had a Beat the Activist ticket that you were going to use that now has expired, please contact our support department.

As usual there is $300 Added to the pot in this tournament with only $1 buy-in. To make it even more exciting, $25 is handed out for any star player knocked out, a so called Loco Activist.

See you on Sunday 1st of May at 21:00GMT!

PokerLoco had sent a team to play the Czech Team Championship in Sit n Go’s. Out of 48 teams we’re proud to say that our Czech team ended up in 4th place.

The championship was divided into 3 rounds and all teams had to qualify their way through the rounds. This was an exciting and very funny event which we’ve got the details for below.

———————————————————————————————————————————

• 1st round was played as a 8 man SNG (6 groups) and the best teams from each group advanced to the 2nd round.

• 2nd round was played as a 8 man SNG (3 groups) with the 3 best teams advancing to the final round.

• Final round was played as a 9 man SNG

———————————————————————————————————————————

We congratulate the players for a fine 4th place and if you want to play Sit n Go’s with any of these players, look for ” piranhaSK “, ” Mr__Student ” or ” msvoco ” in the poker client at PokerLoco.

Pictures from the event can be found below.

On Thursday 29th of April we are planning to make a change to the way that Player Points are calculated. This change is merely a small change that will only affect certain poker games. The change will only affect Poker Cash Games and not Tournaments. The way Player Points are calculated for Tournaments will remain the same as before.

This change affecting ONLY poker cash games say’s the following:

———————————————————————————————————————————

Cash Games NEW Player Points calculation

For cash games, Player Points are awarded based on the rake that you contribute to each pot. 3.25 Player Points are awarded for every dollar you contribute in rake.

Points are awarded in 0.01 steps, for example if you contribute 0.4 dollar in rake you will receive 1.3 Player Points.

———————————————————————————————————————————

If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact support@pokerloco.com and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Player Points at PokerLoco.com are used to clear Bonuses, earn VIP Points that can be exchanged for cash, tickets and merchandise. Player Points are also used to define your VIP Level in our poker VIP program. To learn more about our VIP Program, visit: https://www.pokerloco.com/mypokeraccount/locovip.htm

Kevin “Kgoule” Durand about 2 weeks ago participated in the Chili Poker Deepstack in France. After entering the tournament which had a €1000 buy-in, Kevin unluckily went out at 175th place after loosing 3/4 of his stack with a set of 3′s against a set of 5′s.

After this unlucky blow he went in short and pretty fast was out of the tournament.

He repoerted back to PokerLoco that he very muched enjoyed the tournament despite not managing to end up in the money. Next up he is looking forward to representing PokerLoco at future events to come this year.

Out of 700 starting players, 60 players ended in the money

Maybe the best ending to a week full of poker is playing the $100,000 Guarantee at PokerLoco every Sunday at 7.00PM GMT. With a buy-in of $100+8 and staggering guarantee of $100,000 this is your chance to end the week in style and move on to the next one with a boosted bankroll.

You too can be the receiver of a good amount of cash by making sure you add this tournament to your own weekly schedule of tournaments. And like always, we have lots of qualifier tournaments available to ensure you can spend a little less and still be able to participate in the $100,000 Guarantee.
