Buyin #2

Alright, being official "scout", I have found us a game tonight, at NDN's behest. So, I am going to do it this way. Why? BECAUSE I CAN!

Paradise Quickie
$20 buyin, 100 seater.


OR

AP Heads-up NL Holdem. $20 buyin. (were 20 in this afternoon's game)

The chosen 10, take a vote!

I vote for the Quickie - But will let the majority decide.

Borgo - You didn't vote.

I also am a fan of the quickie, easier for us to make $ that way, the HU game will have too few people for this plan to be effective.

Im in favor of Paradise game just because I've never been a fan of AP:-P
what time will we be playing in it?

Of the choices, I'd have to pick the quickie as well. I liked playing the Coral the other night, even though it's a tad late (it's running again at 10:30 tonight)

Are we sticking to tour sites for the most part? I know UB has guaranteed money tourneys most nights with decent payouts...

We are trying to stick to sites with P2P transfers. UB would work. I'd just prefer 100-200 players. I've been up all night again and by game time I'll have been up a good 35-40 hours and can't handle 430 players!

well the problem with the quickies are only ten get paid and not that much if ya don't get top 5, so we would have to take all the top spots to get ahead.I thought we were gonna play on thursdays? Don't we have a tour game tonight?Those quickies can take over 2 hours as well, for my vote we find a garunted, but whatever the majority votes but I have played a bunch of them quickies we would have to dominate.I don't have UB downloaded as we quit playing there, and someone answer me about thursday as I thght that was the plan.

and i will add if it doesn't fill up not even 10 get paid, here is breakdown on the 20 dollar 50 max. 1st 364 2nd 218 3rd 145 4th 109 5th 72, anyways wherever whenever just rember thats a turbo and I played for 2 hours once finished 12th.Like I said tho wherever whenever.

Hey Lilred my hick friend. Thursdays will be the day when we get everything set up and organized. We are just trying to test out some different tournaments to see what would work best for us.

I figured if most can/will play tonight we might as well!

I'm up for any game really - If anyone has any specific game suggestions please list them here.

I didn't think the quickie payouts were that bad. Double your money for 10th and increasing from there seems okay to me...

The only other tourneys that looked okay to me are the 10:30pm Coral at PP and the 10:01 $30 ($12500 guaranteed) at UB. I suppose there's also the $22 Daily Special at Jetset... I think that has around 100 people in it too...

But I'm up for whatever, just let me know...

Yes sir my yankee or{twin}lol friend, I am up for whatever, the quickie is fine with me,I was just saying its a turbo and scole 20x10 means were gonna have to get at least 4 in cash, it can be done but it is a turbo so not much to play with.I will play anywhere, you guys been playing longer than me so lets do it!I will do whatever you chiefs decide, I mean really who doesn't like quickies.

Very good point Lilred (you decide which point I am referring to).

Can't one of the ten players just step up and guarantee us a first place tonight so we can get or money back and then some?

Someone's gotta be able to step up and guarantee that...

i pic the last one, there are no gaurntees in life but if it is a quickie we will have at least 2 in the cash.

Can't guarantee you can win it?

If we get 3 in the top 10, even if they go out 8, 9, 10, we break even. I expect to have 3 in the top 10, and at least one of us should make the top 5, thereby earning us $.

I am also a fan of the gtd prize pools (the $22 special at Jet is a prime example), just dont want to play through 400 players.

Just keep giving info.

ok if and when we start thursdays 400 people aint that bad borg, but i do like that 2k gtded at Jet to, and if 400 is to many then poo, cause if we do start doing good won't we want to play the bigger tournies? Where the real cash is, ex. the million gtd or the 10k HH at jet.I do agree 400 is way to many to start at 10:30, but when we start building the pool won't we want to play some of these? I really don't care but we must keep an openmind, Quickies are cool heck we might get all 10 spots,could happen.I did like the coral just not my hands,and if we are going get serious we are going have to expect to put some time in.Ok I am done,whenever wherever just holler.

Yeah, I threw the Jetset one out there because I know it doesn't have a huge tournout like the UB guaranteed tourney will...

We could do the $2.75 Pai Gow tourney on Jet - Any takers?

Whatever you say boss!! :o)

I vote Jetset 22 seems the payouts are better.

lol, I tried that for the first time today, lost my arse.got two cookies tho,lol won 1 dollar trny cash and 25 gips whoopee lol. But if thats what you want I am in, So are we on for tonite if so where and when.I really would like to play into my b-day, got a good one planned so lets do it.

My luck on jetset is horrid right now but I'm up for giving that a shot:). Also, I don't mind 400+ playing fields but I much prefer them at earlier start times.

Okay, since I am unofficially in charge of this (thanks a lot NDN...), I say we go for the Quickey at Para. I am a fan of the $22 at Jet, but I dont want us all playing 2 games simultaneously. I say we play the first $20ish 100 seater Quickie at Para after the game. They only show registration 30 minutes prior to them, so I cant know in advance. Stick around the para game for the official announcement, or MSN or Aim if I have a contact for you. If I dont have a contact for oyu, would be great if you could get one, NDN and I agree on this.

lol, and who r u guest? lol, did me that way once.

Geez I pmed you, two diffrent sites aint good at once, overlapping at Para wouldn't be bad.I love the Jetset idea, good payouts not alot peeps, plus we get practice against those pokervoyers.

Also, in the future, I definately want to get into those big games (especially in that 20k HH at Jet coming up). However, to maximize profits, were going to have to get in on satellites, at maximum of 30% buyin I would say. So, if we want in the 20k, no more than $30 spent trying, and half that for the 10k. I think the HHs would be prime for this, because getting into the 20k on $30 would be very profitable, with heads likely being at a minimum of $25.

If anyone else in the 10 knows of good satellite ideas, or against it, or anything related, feel free to post.

So is there a 100 person $20 every 45 mins or so? Trying to figure out the schedule...

I really dont know the schedule, seems to be some that popup frequently, quite a few also. Ill keep tabs throughout the game.

I vote not for Jetset right now - I think 99% of us have NDN in our profile (shame on those who don't *caugh - main - caugh.*

I missed the $20 buy in tonight....not sure how.....but I DID!!! I registered with 30 spots left....and I showed on the list!!! Then a few minutes later it was full and I was no longer on list....I believe anyways!!! I WILL not miss another one....I will do a better job of looking in this section daily!!! I didnt even know the tourny was happening until about 30 mins before it started. I am here to fully support this league and all of you in it!!!!! I am sorry for tonight!!!!

Mr307 (aka Scott)

you need some new rules, or this is a serious waste of money, try this one....


No more than 10% of the tourney bankroll in at one time.

10 people get a buyin, all the winnings are pooled between players. After the pool gets its money back, the winning are split evenly among finishers.

Or

10 people get a buyin, all winnings up to the buyin are sent back, then 50% of anything over that you keep, therefore losing the pool less money.


Currently the first game was at $150 for 10 entrys. You had a 1 in 10 chance of placing each. so 1 person a game should place. So the equivalent buyin for us is double the actual buyin, as the pool isonly getting 50% of winnings. SO its $300 to get a certain place looking at the odds. To win that back for the pool 1 player must come top 10 minimum to make the pool break even. This wont happen every game.

Rules need modifying, figured id put some thoughts out there.

We definently need to play in GTD games where the pool is much larger than the regular buy in pool would be. Also, just my two cents, but I didn't enjoy the quickie too much. The blind levels are so fast that even when you're above average you cant compete with the blinds and antes.

Congrats on finish scole

and to bruner, my AK felt your AK's pain as that 24 knocked us out :(

^that was me

Scole placed, and I am very proud. The transfers right b4 trnies is whats killin us, they know all of us and see us jump in a trnie? I may be wrong but I am betting I cash at poker.com, if they will call have upped it to 10 so far neither of the 2 have replied.Eejit you can't win with no cards had A9 once then a pair of 8s all game c-mon. not even suited paint.did have some suited connectors early tried to playem but anyways WTG SCOLE! U represented well!!!!!

ok, I agree with Mr. the 2k gtd at Jetset

I haven't had a whole lot of time to think about any of this. The idea popped into my head during a stretch of being up 40+ hours. I then slept and have now been up 40+ hours again. I will sleep, wake up refreshed, and figure out what the hell we are gonna do!

Sweet dreams

thata boy sweet dreams, 21 minutes till b-day but the party has started, oops suppose to keep that a secret.

Congrats red on Bday, Ive got 3 more days still!

Oh, and I broke the streak, played a $5 100 seater quickie today, finished 2nd. One game too late...
