Can anyone help.....Play poker in two pubs, one has ave 70 players one has only 20, which one is going to give the better chance of qualifing, if any? Also,  because obviously the average points from one of the pubs is considerably lower than the other, (even finishing in a good position 4 -6th)  is this bringing my average down for the national league ....any suggestions would be helpful.

On another note thanks for rekindling my love for this game!

    I may be wrong but last year there were 3 ways to qualify. One was the National Top Scores, then the National Averages - and finally from your registered Pub (top 2,3,4 or whatever depending on the number of players over the 12 week season). Obviously if you play at the 20 player pub - and do well regularly - you will have a good chance of qualifying through the Pub route - as finishing in the top 3 or 4 would be slightly easier. This also allows you to play at the 70 player pub - which will boost your chances (if you do well) for the National routes to the finals. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
