SS vs. InternetTexasHoldem.com tournament?
A friend of mine who is a regular on the InternetTexasHoldem.com forum and I thought it would be fun to hold a 2+2 Small Stakes vs. InternetTexasHoldem.com tournament.
Do any of the online poker sites host private tournaments? UltimateBet is out of the question, after their spectacular botching of the most recent BOSS tournament. Is there any interest here? I was thinking $20+2, probably NLHE. Other than that, I guess I'm open to suggestions as to format, etc. |

If it's the SS forum then it should probably be limit [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] since that's what the SS forum is really about.
As far as sites go try Paradise. Not sure, but it's a possibility. Stars has put all private tourneys on temp hold except for prior commitments - they've been overwhelmed by requests and want to figure out how to handle it proceduraly, from what they told me at least. If Paradise won't do it then you may have to try some of the smaller sites like pokerroom (current location of HULA). You may want to touch base with Mike Haven. And yes, I'd probably be interested. |

While I prefer NL tourneys myself, I tend to agree with Bugs that if it is for SS posters, limit makes more sense. In either case, count me in.

I'm in. I would much prefer a NL tourney, but I'd play limit also. After spending 5 minutes on the InternetTexasHoldem forum, I imagine 2+2 is going to have to play with some sort of handicap.

Agreed. Look at some of the following advice: (In response to a player raising a flop which 5 players have seen [ QUOTE ] I don't know what it is recently, but anyone on a flush draw at my tables has been raising the flops. It has literally become automatic... he really only had 9 outs. He loses that more often than he wins, but yet he continues to raise. Baffling. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Dealt AJ in MP. I call, SB calls, BB checks. Everyone else folded. Flop is is 9TJ. SB bets, BB raises. Replies: "it is a fold" "My gut instinct tells me that either you are beat" "I think you have to fold here" [/ QUOTE ] No mention of serious pre-flop error, position, suitedness of board, never mind player/table reads. There are a plethora of other posts like this, it would be too easy for SS. |

I started a thread at ITH here, so follow along. We'll get the players, just set a date. |

I look forward to this event and believe that ITH will pull an upset -- especially if it is a limit tournament. |

Just as there are some excellent players at 2+2. |
