Excellent the buy-in seems reasonable to be inclusive for everyone who wants to play. Should be straightforward enough, I just have to remember to setup my account lol, to busy messing with a problem money box that isn't hashing ATM. Will definitely be good to go though.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the tables this coming weekend.

"Official" update will be coming tomorrow - I can already tell though that it will work like this:

You guys will be able to register directly via sportsbet´s poker lobby but you will need a password - you will get the password if I like you... just kidding of course. :p

When registering for the tournament, the buy-in + fee (1.1 mBTC) will automatically be deducted from your account and you will be ready to go.

I havent played poker for a long time and really can´t wait!

All right. So I creadted an account on Sportsbet.io, the other day, and loaded it with 2.5 mBTC especially with the intention of playing in this amazing tournament. Thank you, Sportsbet.io for providing this unique opportunity to play poker with our fellow forum members!

So far it looks like around 2 PM GMT is doable for most of us - again, I will provide technical details hopefully on Monday.

2 PM GMT is perfect for me, and I agree with @figmentofmyass here that buy-in shouldn't be lower than 1 mBTC, in order to keep it interesting.

In short, count me in, guys.

Good luck to all the participants!

Very nice - happy to see you are also participating. I am right now fine-tuning everything and will post instructions very shortly. Wink

Regarding buy-in, I think most of us are cool with 1 mBTC, no?

1-2 mBTC is fine by me. no lower than that---let's keep it interesting!

Nowadays I don't play poker that often - usually only when I am utterly bored - and I never was an ambitious player anyway. Will never forget my first and only Royal Flush though. Good old days at PartyPoker Wink

Oh my, Party Poker - I used to be an affiliate for them when the big poker boom arrived in GER and everybody has been playing there - I loved it and watching that image you posted, hard not to get nostalgic lol.

seriously, that screenshot brings back some memories! i can't believe it's been more than a decade since the poker boom, when i was crushing the FLHE tables on partypoker. Cool

And starting off with some free bankroll they offered everywhere?! Cheesy

Only one more week to go guys, this is gonna be fun!

I wrote previously that I'll ask my friend who likes playing poker. He's also a forum member, of course. At first, he said no, but we talked and now he'd like to join you guys on Sunday. So how does joining the group work? Does he need to write something in the thread to have the name added to the original post or something or will there be a link to join the game? And with only a week left perhaps it's time to decide on the buy-in and other technicalities mentioned in that first post for discussion?

Hey, thats cool - Glad he will play with us!

The list in the op is more of an orientation. I think the tournament will be password protected but I will know more on Monday. In that case, I would just pm everyone who said he wanted to play and give the password.

Regarding buy-in, I think most of us are cool with 1 mBTC, no?

Did I forget anything? More ideas? Please shoot!

Afaik there is only full ring available at Sportsbet, no ? If not, I would vote for 6-handed, but thats just a detail. Full ring always gets me bored too much Cheesy

Well, you know how it is mate, always keep busy! Wink

Awesome, I was actually waiting for you to join! I would have forced you anyway...

Yeah, good point - will check with the sportsbet poker guys!

Difficult to say how long the tournament will last but with around 20 users (if really so many appear), still it wouldnt last too long I guess - also depends on how berserk we go! Cheesy

did the pool already fix on 25/01? with a minimum of 20 users?
but if you can make the buy-in last for 1 day before the actual day so everyone can join it

Yeah, most likely we will play 25/01 at around 2 PM GMT - who said we would only play if we reach 20 players? I didnt... Regarding the buy-in, really dont know what you mean?

The schedule is not yet determined whether it is Sunday or Monday, but it looks like it will tend to be Monday based on user opinions here.
And also a minimum of 20 people I think that's too high since that currently interested in joining the tournament there are only 20 people.

Nobody set a minimum of 20...

Now you have a numbers feeling can you say how long this feels like it will take to run?

Let's expect that it would take longer, because 20 users take more time to play. We're not sure yet that it would not take too long since that it was dependent on the mode of their set play. Hopefully there's an accurate time frame in order to estimate the possible frequency of the game.

If it's pushed back too early though I may actually miss it, but I'll do as SyGambler promised, I'll throw in my buy-in regardless.

+1 on both counts. 6am local time is gonna be a challenge, but i think i'll make it. Grin

given the structure in the OP, i would guess ~1-2 hours depending on how many people show up.

Well, I have to say I'm surprised by the response. It's so hard these days to get the forum together to get into pools or other tourneys, and yet poker seems to have a big draw, even for those who don't know how to play! Should really look into the psychology of gamblers here. Is it the title that says exclusive?

Anyway, can't wait for the deets and timing. If it's pushed back too early though I may actually miss it, but I'll do as SyGambler promised, I'll throw in my buy-in regardless.

I am also very positively surprised and of course very happy about it!

So far it looks like around 2 PM GMT is doable for most of us - again, I will provide technical details hopefully on Monday.
