this tourney is for people who play real poker and don't have gay escalating blinds. holla.

Even if I was to play, the Two Plus Two name still cannot be used.

lol, yea i mean 30 minute levels are just sooooo short. its awful to not be able to sit there for 10 hours to beat yer opponent. holla

The idea isn't to start with 300bbs, but to play until someone has won 300bb's from the other person. This should make for some interesting deep stack poker - although it might end up taking too long, and there will be some instances where players end up winning/losing more then $3,000.00

Prima seems to work good because they are the only site i know of that has HU 5/10 tables and usually have a few of them open.

People complaining that it is -EV, I figured that this being the high stakes forum most here play this game normally, and multiable, so really what is a 3 buy-in freeze out? Plus these should create some really strong discussion.

If someone else who is an affiliate wants to try to negotiate a deal with a site, go ahead.

I don't really think it's fair for me to be in the tournament, because I'd crush everyone so bad.

I also don't understand the structure...are we both gonna be sitting with 300 bb to start or what? Are you going to be allowed to leave the table once you both have 200 bb's and start over with 100 bb, b/c I hate deepstack hu. Some of these matches are going to take forever. I can see a match vs me taking like 10 hours or more unless I'm up vs a total donk (ie james282).

The stacks shouldnt get that deep. 200bb stacks HU is not alot, trust me.

Hi KKF,

Damn, this is a great idea. I love the format, stakes, suggested matchups, etc. Unfortunately for me, I can't afford to play, being right on the edge of broke. I will sweat this one from the rail for sure though, if it gets down. holla.
