O Doyle's Army - WE WANT YOU!

The offer could be something like you have to play 120k hands within the last 9 months, or 1 year, or whatever, if it takes longer than that you don't get to go. If you play 240k hands in that time period, they send you to 2 major tournaments, 360k hands, you get to go to 3 major tournaments, etc....

This is an idea I think that has some potential. There could be staggered events throughout the year so that a person could qualify for one or for all.

great idea,

for me,

longer time to qualify is better than shorter
uniforms are OK- but no camo for sure!

I could be interested in this.

But like most people in this thread I would want more information on the following:
Exactly how long would we have? My preference would be a larger time window.
What would the reward be? I would prefer something fungible as opposed to tournament entries.
What limits would be allowed?
And I would also state my preference for the normal poker site clothing.

Naturally, this is something that would have to be banged out with a site, I think a 4-5 month time period would be idea, giving the site to run a second promo within a year if possible and also giving players to make it to more than one major event a year.

Hopefully, it could be negotiated that a person could play any limit they would chose to qualify. I had no restriction of limits when I did the challenge at TruePoker.

[jasonHoldEm]

sure why not...would like a cash option as well since I'm not really a tournament player.

As stated in previous post, I am in. Though I would like to have an entire year. This would allow us to avoid playing all of our hands at once. The only sites that would be interested are the smaller ones. Most of us will play at Party regardless, so what gain would they have in offering the deal?

Count me into odyle's army! I would love to participate in somthing like this

[Gamat]

I could be interested in this depending on the specifics of course.

A few comments / questions:

-When you say 120K hands do you mean raked hands? If so, the definition of raked hand would need to be defined.

-I personally would prefer the WSOP ME entry idea vs. some form of rake back. I think it's a better win-win for both parties.

-I wouldn't have the time to squeeze 120K during a two month span. I think four months would be challenging but doable. I don't see any reason why the duration couldn't even be longer though. If this goes through it will likley be at one of the medium (TP, ABS, FT, etc.) sites that most of us don't usually play at. A sustained play boost over the year is probably more beneficial to these sites than a two or four month growth followed by a drop off.

-We need to be able to at a minimum 8-table and 10 or 12 would be preferred.

With TruePoker, it was hands, not raked hands. Once again, this would have to be something that would have to be worked out with a site.
