Our own HU tourney
 

SSNL and HSNL have both done HU matches. Now that we have our own forum, is anybody interested in doing our own matches? We can do the same format as the highstakes, just for less money. I suggest something like 500 a person, but this is just a starting point to see if there is any interest. Lets see who wants to do it!

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

It would have to be a different initial structure than HSNL, I suggest not making "brackets" until atleast the 2nd level. (b/c most people will drop off until then).

2nd'l $500 wtf, I won't put up that money to play this and I doubt most SSNL'ers will either, how about $50-$150 ?

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

I would be interested in playing

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

this is medium stakes, not small stakes, but sure, we could definitly change the amount. But to most people who play 200nl to 600nl 500 bucks isnt that much.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

no, but its near a buyin at our "largest stakes", make it 300 and you'll get more takers, espically since so many in here are running bad currently..

btw, i'm down.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

Ah misread it as "let's do a SSNL and MSNL tourney". Anyway, I still think $500 is a bit too steep for a "fun" tournament, but maybe that's just me. I'm down for $100-200 ish.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

lol, ok, 300 sounds good too. If it gets more interest, im down.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

Ill play, i think $250 is a nice number to play for.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

I'm interested, $500 ok with me.

$250 or $300 might be better to get more people though.

When would it be? I am going to be out of town around the holidays(with limited computer access), I imagine a lot of other people will be too.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

I'll play. $300 sounds like a good number, but I'm in anyway.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

I am in for $250-300 depending on when its held. I doubt we can get 32 ppl at $500 apiece. Suggested payout structure given $300 buyin:
(This is an identical but scaled down version of the HS payout)

32-17: 0
16-9: 0
8-5: 500
4-3: 1200
2: 2000
1: 3200

PokerStars has set up special SnG tables under the tourney tab to accomodate the HS tourney. I'm sure we can use this as well if we ask nicely [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I forgot to add, we should nominate some people to run this thing. I vote for Aggie, ahnuld, and yvesaint. As for someone to hold the money, it might make sense to get one of the HS regulars to do it, as $9600 isn't that much for alot of them.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

I would be interested, time permitting

$200-$300 would be good

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

Im cool with running it and holding some cash, but if someone else would feel more comfortable with a highstakes player doing it, I would totally understand.

I like the above payout structure, but if people want it to be a bit flatter, we could always make some changes.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

totally interested for 200-500

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

My HU game is suspect at best, but I'll gamble with you degenerates (time permitting).

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

I'll play if it actually happens. The way the SSNL one fell apart pissed me off.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

Im going to be out of town from wednesday morning until friday afternoon. Ill let this thread run for today, and tomorrow ill make an official thread with the buy-in, pay out and rules. So lets discuss those things now so I can officially post it tomorrow!

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

It should be 32 ppl, first come first serve, but everything will be explained tomorrow

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

Oh and if anyone feels im being bossy, sry bout that. Im just trying to take charge and get this thing going. All suggestions welcome.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

I'm down for 250

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

I'm in.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

im thinking 300 works best, and we use the stars setup of 3k and 5-10 blinds, or some equivalent.

Let's do it. I like this.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

Yes, I'm in.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

One caveat-- this is the holiday season. I don't know about other people but I'm traveling and won't be online every day reading this board. I'm certainly interested but there's little to no chance I can play before New Year's, nor am I likely to see any signup thread that only lasts for 24 hours.

I agree. It will be really hard to get people to play now.

Maybe start it Jan 7th or around there.

Much better for me, too.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

agreed.

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

So for the structure would it be the same as the high stakes with random bracket pairings with each player getting 300BB's

Re: Our own HU tourney
 

ya, I just made a new thread with all the deatials so far. Check it out.
