Proposed FTR/2+2 tourney

ClaytonN · #1 01-30-2005, 04:41 PM

Just to get the gravy train rolling.

My thoughts:

I think we should make an outline similar to that of the zoo tsunami relief tournament. Make the buy-in 10+1 or 20+2, and make it NLHE (for now).

Don't know if others are up for this, but this also seems like a good opporunity to donate a quarter or a half of the prize pool to charity.

From there, people from both forums can set bounties and prop bets and overall just have fun with it. Don't know who yet would set this up.

Thoughts?

I think it should be a series of HU matches between the top 2+2ers and the top FTRers.

if Helmuth beats Jones in a heads up match does that make UB better than Stars?

That'll be cool, but not a HU match, that's a crap shoot.

Make it 10+1 though, I need to afford it.

I'm in. The money doesn't really matter to me.

can we go around to every poker forum that sucks, and then tell them how to find the best forum so they can really start to educate themselves, instead of just trading around bad advice? cuz I think that would be sweet.

My proposal was similar, here:

To be honest though, the negativity that has been shown so far has really taken a lot of my interest in doing something like this. I guess I expected that people would realize they were being silly eventually, but without naming names, there seems to be a small but vocal few who continue to act ridiculous regardless of how foolish they might appear. I don't feel any particular need to voluntarily interact with those people.

I'd personally like to see the childish hostility end. What better way to say "Okay guys, let's stop acting like we're on PMS and respect each other's company" than playing a friendly tournament with last-longer and prop bets, where half goes to charity.
