Meh.
What's the status on this? Smiley

How does this Sunday afternoon (in the US, EST) work for everyone?

Could you give me a time so I can see what that would end up at in Europe? Smiley

That is 5 hours behind me in the UK, which would make it ~17:00 for me.

That time suits me fine, Rmcdermott927.

Will wait to see what other people in the EU think Smiley

By the way Rmcdermott927, please add my name to the list in the Op as it hasn't been done... I would hate for this to be arranged, and me forgotten about Tongue

Thanks

If this is the case I'm very much interested and available Smiley

I can't access to pokerstars.com. In France we have pokerstars.fr and french players (who live in France, like me) are not allowed to play on pokerstars.com  Undecided I understand if you do this and I won't blame you.

But you can play with play money, as its not real money there are no worries Smiley

No in France it's forbidden to access and play on pokerstars.com, even with play money. And I just can't be connected to the .com network without a VPN, it sucks  Cry

Damn, did not know that. That really sucks.

I'd be interested as well  Cheesy

I like onlinedragon's idea of having more than 1 tourny: a low stakes tournament and a high-stakes tournament.  There are at least 12 people expressing interest, so maybe this is a good way to go.

maybe have a seat or 2 to the high stakes as the prize for the low stakes

maybe .25 btc buy in?
Wouldn't be for 'fun' anymore, would it? In addition to that, this reduces the amount of potential people willing to enter the tournament.

Just finalizing the prizes and details.   
I may only be interested after reading up on this, so please post an update in this thread once you have finalized everything.

I like the idea to organize a poker tournament and also think that Pokerstars Homegames is the best place for it. Only would be nice if there can be organized more than one tournament one with lower buyin that now is suggested. So there will be more people who will participate. Because homegames is not available on mobile devices I can't guarantee that I will participate this time. When there is an official starting time I will decide if I will join the party.



It will be hosted on my own server more than likely.  It should work find on mobile.

Now for the real question.....whens the best time to play being we are from all over the world?

This is what I was imagining would be the hard part, getting everyone together at a common time for a possibly long game.

Indeed.

This will probably need to be a weekend thing to make it work for everyone. As for the time itself, I should be able to fit a schedule suited to you guys, given notice Smiley

We could also do playmoney HomeGames on Pokerstars. If we are playing for prizes.

Or if we  are playing for bitcoin we can use a trusted escrow

Yes ofcourse. But Homegames on pokerstars are really easy for setting up private tournaments. And since we use playmoney you don't have to play for $$.

gha i do poker once in a wile. 

Timed pot limit an option ?  rebuys allowed ?

oke, i will not use Winholdem nor my calculator tools ;]

The entry fee is a bit high for the doubters., this include me.
Maybe it is a option to level down the entry fee when there are more players who want to play.

Probably standard NL hold em
What's the difference between "NL hold'em" and "Texas hold'em"? You should probably put in a more detailed description of how the tournament will be played out in addition to the primary rules of NL hold'em.

I'd be interested depending on time and conditions.  Wink
The same goes for me. I'm still considering it.

nl holdem is the same as texas holdem

I'm very much in, time to crush you fools!  Grin

On a more serious note, how will we decide game types, formats etc? Voting or randomized? I like most poker games, but prefer the Cadillac nl holdem. Turbo is cool aswell, wouldnt want a 3day event Smiley

This would be quite interesting as the stakes are high for physical coins for the prize.

This may be interesting depending on the execution plan. Could you elaborate on how exactly we'd play this out; is there any particular software or website that you have in mind?

I own a poker mavens license so I will set it up on my server.

Please post here if you would have interest in, and want to be notified to participate in a poker tournament with physical coins as a prize.  

The buy in would be 0.05 BTC. The prizes would be dependent on the number of players.  As more players join , more prizes would be added.  

Tentatively I think 1st prize will be a Kialara labyrinth.  


Post here if interested and I will start compiling a list.
