King of the Kiddie Pool MTT?

[GrunchCan]

I suggested in jest that we have a private limit MTT on stars to selsect the next MicroPoster. But there seems to be interest in it anyway, just to see who the King of the Kiddie Pool is.

So, let's take a vote. Who wants this, just for bragging rights?

[Vote4Pedro]

greatest idea ever

[NateDog]

I'm in

[trainslayer]

I'm assuming a $5 buyin for us kiddies. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

If it's on the weekend can you make it after 3pm central.(that's when I get home from work.)

If there's sufficient interest, we can find out via posts how & when it's to be set up. We'll try to accomodate as many people as possible.

Sounds great.

[KingOtter]

I like the idea... I guess I better go make an account over there.

KO

[shant]

Can we make it a $30 or $50 buy-in?

[SCfuji]

shant, you can just pay for 5 other entrants if its $5 and it will be like a $25 buy in for you. i see what you are saying though. i see a lot of action in this mtt if the buyin is $5, but id rather it be as low as possible. the prize is going to be the session post, not $.

I was just throwing it out there. I'm down for whatever buy-in.

[POKhER]

I was going to suggest this earlier after seeing the .05/.10 little tourney.

This would be good. 0.05/0.10 $2 Buy in? or play chips (YUK) ?

I'm guessing ti would be NL also /images/graemlins/frown.gif Hmm Ok i hate NL maybe im out.

[SCfuji]

i think this is actually going to be a normal MTT, not a heads up bracket tournament

[POKhER]

so play chips 2000 and NL /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[shadow29]

I've got $0.65 in my account from the last time I scammed mmbt0ne into transferring me money. I'll need to work it up to $25 (to repay him and to have an entry fee). Saturday afternoon seems like a good time to do this. I'll post an update when I'm a) broke b) halfway and c) $25.

Shouldn't be too hard.

[SCfuji]

but we wouldnt be able to do a multi-table tournament with play chips.

[SCfuji]

just have people you 'coapch' to transfer you money to your stars account.

True. The problem is that I can't withdraw at Stars (I don't think) because I've never made a deposit. And getting money out of Euro takes like eight days. And I like this plan better.

[Vote4Pedro]

ya shadow, if you coapch me, i'll pay for your entry fee, no jopke

I think you already paid for my entry fee (and 8 other players) with your -177 BB 2+2 table...

[NateDog]

You guys started?

[SCfuji]

no, shadow is just working on his futile attempt to build up enough cash on stars to buyin for the tournament

[NateDog]

What table shadow? I'm gonna break you /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[McGahee]

I'm down even though I have no idea what we're talking about.

ugh, too late. It was indeed futile, fuji. I was down to $.40 after a couple misses with AK and AQ. Then I lost 10 BBs with KK flopping a set against runner runner flush. I am so wicked steaming right now. I almost broke another wireless mouse, but then I realized that it was $.65 and not $650 like the last time my mousey got thrown against the wall (meaning another -$50).

Now I'll just have to scam someone else. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[KingOtter]

I can front you another .65 if you want to try again.

I am still tilting.

jesus [censored] OMG ugh [censored] [censored] [censored]!!!!!!!!!!11111111111!!!!!!one!!!!

[bottomset]

I'd love to play, but please wait till 8:30PM eastern tonight or later

[benkath1]

You stole my line. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Any time, any place.

If you set up a MTT at stars, can you make it a limit tourney? I think that would be better, since that is what we are all trying to work on in this forum.

[DerFleischmeister]

Count me in.

I think, however, that we should hold this off until next Saturday to stoke interest, maximize "gamesmanship", and allow Shadow to go broke a couple more times trying to get a buyin.

I'm also cool with one today, though. Tomorrow is out of the question for me.

[Eeegah]

Note that Stars has their Saturday Night $3+0 at Midnight Eastern, usually with 700-900 entrants. If there's not one tonight we can all take a dip there and see who lucks out best /images/graemlins/smile.gif

hmmm. that's 10 here. I might see you there.

[benkath1]

I say we set up a mtt and a thread to go with it and pm the password to all who reply to the thread. That might keep some of the larger sharks out of the water. I'd be willing to manage this, but I don't know how to set up a private tourney on stars. I'd say we do it on next friday night around 12ish eastern. It seems we are all online and playing friday nights and that will give everybody a week to catch the thread.

Thoughts?

[DerFleischmeister]

Sounds g00t to me.

[SCfuji]

you cant go all in the first hand...

[SCfuji]

this is the micro forum. there are no large sharks.

[tiltaholic]

i'm in. in fact, i'm ALL in. nyuk nyuk.

if i'm around.

i'll even organize or help or whatever.

[KSOT]

Count me in!

Will it happen today?

Run with it Tilt.

Edit: Might want to find out who handles the KOTZ events as there are a ton of private MTT's set up. They might be able to get us in the door.

I'm disappointed. A Harvard man can surely come up with something better.

[shant]

Please don't make it a Friday or Saturday night. I hate that Party has lot of tournies at those times. I like to be drinking alcohol somewhere outside my house on Fridays and Saturday nights. Can we make this a weekday? If I'm alone on this, that's cool, I'll have to miss it.

[DavidC]

I voted no because I'm a moran.

I think that the idea is great: for bragging rights, but that it doesn't really make for the best MicroPoster, which you stated already... again, I'm a moran.

But hell yeah, let's have this thing!

--Dave.

[benkath1]

I e mailed stars support and you need 2000 ffp to create your own private tourney. Anybody play there that much?

[Deamon2]

I'd be up for a limit MTT, just have to get my cousin to transfer my account $6. I had like $1 in there after a failed attempt at SnG's, and got raped boat v quads at a 2+2 .02/.04 lagfest. $0.21 is not enough to buy into any tables there I don't think.

[NateDog]

I've got 10FPP's /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Entity]

How do we do donations? My girlfriend's account (yes, she plays) has 3,052 and I've got 1,925 on mine.

[MicroBob]

i've got 6k FPP's or so.

been awhile since i hung out here.
is there some kind of 'microposter' title that is passed around now?


when i first started here my name was 'microboy' and designed to be something of a "superhero of the micro-limits universe" or something stupid like that.

this was before we even had a micro forum btw.

We're reviewing entire sessions of hands, and somehow microposter came out of that. I sorta missed it, but I think that the microposter is basically an anonymous way to respond to the hand reviews. Or something like that.

unfortunately...since i don't play microlimits anymore i think many posters believe it is some kind of reference to my height (i'm 5'6")
