SS vs. InternetTexasHoldem.com tournament?

[spamuell]

I'd like to play. Usually I'd mind whether it was limit or NL but against ITH, it should be pretty easy to crush them either way. (Note the lack of an emoticon here.)

A Sunday sounds good but how about at 4PM for those of us on the other side of the Atlantic? Due to the recent time changes here and I think your clocks are changing/have changed soon/recently, I haven't yet quite worked out what the time difference is at the moment, but I'm pretty sure this would be better if it isn't too inconvenient for you guys. Also, I don't know how many from UK/Europe will want to play, if we're in the tiny minority then I guess we'll just have to put up.

I think it's best if the tournament is as soon as you can make it, no point delaying things.

I haven't played in any of the past 2+2 tournaments but is the scoring system from the SS vs Zoo tourneys adaptable?

As for the tournament name, how about a slight change of the old 2+2 = 4 to:

2 + 2 > ITH

Thanks for your effort bdk3clash.

I am not familiar with this system, but fill us in. It should be fine.

Can someone post a link to, or propose, a scoring system? Perhaps the one used in the Zoo vs. SS tournament from a while back?

PS would be the best place IMO.

A few of the really good players at ITH are limit players, however, many play NL tournament.

I personally prefer NL. I happen to read and post at both forums and I don't think there is going to be any "crushing" going on. I believe there are excellent players that participate in both forums.

I am not the "we rule" type player. I am a player about information and study which means participating in multiple forums and websites...at any rate I think a tournament like this would be great fun.

The details regarding the tournament between 2+2's Small Stakes forum and the InternetTexasHoldem.com forum are taking shape.

All of these details are still tentative.

Where/When: PokerStars, Sunday, April 18th, 3:00 Eastern.
Lee Jones of PokerStars stepped up and offered to host. I'll bug him to include extras, such as juicing the prize pool, etc.

Title: "Battle of the Boards: SS vs. ITH"
I'm purposely leaving the actual forum names out of the title. Should they be included?

Format: $20+2, no-limit hold'em
If we do this again, maybe we can do limit next time. No limit seems to be the default and consensus format.

The tournament will have an equal number of players on each side. Registration will be password-protected, and ammbo (ITH goon) and I will (theoretically) make sure an equal number of players register from each side.

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

What scoring system should be used to determine the winner?

bdk3clash,

See reply to your crosspost, April 18th won't work because the monthly ITH tournament is on that date.

Update:

Let's make it April 25th.

Late afternoon? Cool. I'll make sure to be back and freshly jet lagged so everyone can take shots at me.

I'll be flying in on the red-eye that morning from Vegas - I'll catch the next one. I might be conscious enough to cheer on the sideline though.

Looking over the advice in the Hand History section, I think if we played Go Fish, we would win. If I'm availible, I'd love to play.

Peace,
