HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

FoxwoodsFiend,

What is the [censored] deal. Where do we stand. Have you drawn up brackets? Have we picked a site? UB has .25/.5 HU tables, meh? Has everyone paid up? If you are an escrow and have all your cash, reply.

I have all my cash.

What is the [censored] deal.

seriously! i am waiting for some1 to draw up some lines and start taking side action on players so i can gamble heavily on myself.
we need brackets.

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

I want to see the threads on people beign pwn'd HU already!

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

can we start an official thread with a sticky that will keep track of all the toruneys happenings? Makes life easier to keep track.

That's what I'm talking about! You and Yeti are the only two pimps on this board.

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

AZK, here is the deal-not everybody has gotten their money in. Once we figure out who the sub for Larry David is (and that should just be a matter of a few people answering their PMs) we will need that person to pay Strasser, for fslexcduck to pay me or AJo Go All In $500, for chuddo stoxtrader and obnxnole to pay Zeebo, and for VanVeen to pay FSUPlayer.
Citanul drew up brackets which I will not release until everybody's money is in.
I figure we'll let people use whatever HU format they both agree to via PM such as PokerStars HU Playmoney, UB HU tables, or whatever else people suggest.
Basically, we're just waiting on people to get their money in. This is a very hard process to coordinate because it depends on many people being prompt in answering PMs, which many have not been.

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

Thanks for the update. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Picking different sites will be troublesome no? Considering half have different blind structures, rebuy rules, etc...no?

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

count me in for round two once all this bs has been worked out lol

one important thing (perhaps the solitary piece) my polisci degree has taught me is that collective action is usually doomed to failure

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

First of all, we have a sub for Larry David now-it's thatwacokid. I'm willing to swallow fslexcduck's 500 for now as I'm sure she's good for it. If anybody knows of a way to get in touch with chuddo, stoxtrader, VanVeen, and obnxnole please do so as we'll start the second I have confirmation everybody has their money in.

What do you guys think about booting people who haven't gotten their money in by Sunday and replacing them with subs? We have enough to do this.

If differing structures bothers people we'll have to figure out a way to play HU on one site so that all matches can happen within a week. I figure the upside of different structures is that if the UB tables are full when people are free to play, they have a better chance of fitting a match into their open timeslot. Plus, at the end of the day HU is still HU. What do people think? If we insist on having one structure we'll also have to allot more time to each round it seems.

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

obnxnole told me he hasnt had luck getting in touch with zeebo.
he's def. good for the money however. ill tell him to try and pay tonight.

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

FF,

I don't think diff structures are a problem. You should just pick one site as the default site if people can't agree on one.

[/ QUOTE ] That's b.s. I'm on 2+2 at least once every hour all day long. I've responded to his pm's each time. I have no [censored] clue what possible problems people can have. Doesn't everyone wanting to play in a $1500 poker tournament have $ on at least ONE poker site and then it'd take 5 seconds to click transfer

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

yeti: tell josh he needs to pay up for hu tourney
fsup: he's trying to contact zeebo apparently, but he sometimes fibs. hehe
yeti: [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

he's plays on party, so i have no clue why he hasnt paid yet.

he just walked into my room an hour ago and said "dude, i have been trying to contact zeebo, blah blah blah."

ill leave him a strongly worded note.

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

i sent money to strassa

I am not privy to what any of the problems are-I just get told that they exist. Hopefully you, FSUPlayer, and Obnxnole figure out what's going on VIA PM and then we can move on to woryring about the remaining 4.

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

I'm just looking foward to starting, I don't get how people on this forum don't have 1500 at a bunch of diff sites but whatever.

I would also like to express my concern with playing low limit games that end up in the rake taking a large portion of pots and killing the stack sizes. Playing play money HU somewhere would be best.

Rake Blows...
 

I played someone HU at .25/.50 for some practice and the rake was absolutely ridiculous. After maybe 10 minutes, more than 10% of our stacks were gone due to rake. Since most of us are 5/10NL+, we never really notice the rake. I would recommend we find a way to use Play Money tables somewhere. I recall someone suggested they have a ton of play money chips they could transfer us for the tourney on PS???

Re: Rake Blows...
 

We could do this and I think I heard you can buy play money chips by the millions on ebay

The brackets were drawn randomly right?

the seeds were drawn in the following fashion:

he pmed me a list of players, in some wacky order

i had a computer generate a list of 32 random numbers

i then wrote those numbers as they appeared on that list next to each player in his list, in the order they were there

i sent him both a list of the players seeded 1-32 and of the players with their first round matchup using standard sum(seeds)=33 mannering. making it look like an actual pretty ncaa thing i didn't do

I'm just going to replace Larry David with thatwacokid and then draw up 4 8-person brackets NCAA style with the first four seeds being 1 seeds, the next four being two seeds (with the 5th seed in the original 1 seed's brackets, the 6th seed in the original 2 seed's brackets, etc.).

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

if what i understand you wrote, you should end up with a perfect 32 man bracket doing this. that part's easy. getting it online in a distributable form would sadly be harder =(

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

i think you can post the brackets now.

Re: HU MHNL TOURNEY
 

I'll pay zeebo tonight, so help me god.

sry for delay.

Brackets
 

In parentheses is everybody's original seeding as per citanul's randomization. The winners of the top two matches in each bracket face each other, as do the winners of the bottom two matches in each bracket. The winners of these two matches face each other for the bracket title, with the winner of Bracket 1 facing the winner of Bracket 2, and the winner of Bracket 3 facing the winner of Bracket 4.

Re: Brackets
 

Hi Foxwood... I sent captZEEbo $1000 throgh party last night. Unfortunately, they have a $1000 per week inter account transfer limit unless you have it changed. As soon as ZEEbo changes his limits I will send him the remaining $500. Sorry for the delays.
