Cool Idea for October!
Okay I got this idea from another forum but it seemed pretty cool so I'll throw it out here as well.
I was thinking that we should make a small bet (maybe $10-$20, I dont care) or we could just do it for fun and TP could give a prize away it doesnt matter. On pokerstars they have the TLB pts system that everyone knows about, I was thinking that we could all have a contest and keep track of our TLB pts for the month of October and whoever piles up the most wins the prize or money prizepool. This is just an idea, if anyone wants to add to it or whatever thats cool. Im just throwing it out there because it could be fun to see how we do over the course of one month while also making some money in the process if we have a few good MTT cashes. |

I think that's a great idea! A few questions...
1. It would only apply on Stars tournaments? (Assuming yes.) 2. It would only apply to MTTs... right? (Assuming yes.) 3. I like the idea of a contest "entry." $5, $10, $20. Either way, the purpose is to get everyone who wants to participate on board right at the beginning of the month. I'd hate to work all month on TLB points and then someone comes along on the 25th of October, manages to win a $20 tournament, and then accumulates MASSIVE points (essentially from one tournament), taking the lead. Of course, if that person paid the entry at the beginning of the month and "got in" then it would count... but just to have someone luckily win a tournament and take down the contest seems unfair. Unless of course - everyone is in favor of that? Seems weak to me. Comments? Good idea, O.

#1 and #2: Yes and Yes.
#3: Whoever pays the $20 (or whatever it is) would be eligible to win the contest. If they win a $20 tourney at the end of the month I dont think they should be punished for having a bad month prior to that. The TLB takes your best 20 finishes for the month and gives you pts for them. You get TLB pts for finishing in the top 15% of the tourney field. They give TLB pts for freeroll finishes too just to throw that out there. Im just throwing out ideas/looking for ideas so comment on whatever you want and then we can get something set up. whoever pays the $20 we will have TP hold it or something like that. |

Cool idea, but won't this strongly favor the people who play a LOT of tourneys? Some people might only have time for one or two, if that...
I don't think I play 20 Stars tourneys per month, for example, let alone finish in the top 15% of the field in 20 of them. |

good idea overall. I guess this would wind up being similar to the $25 bankroll challenge we had here recently (which I didn't participate in btw). This would try to see who the best MTT tounament player is, like the other tried to see who the best cash game player was. An obvious next step might be to have a monthlong contest to see who the best Sit n Go player is (if this is also succesful).
I haven't played much on Stars, mostly just a few of the TP tournaments we have had. Does anyone know if the TLB points factor in amount of buy in? Meaning, if I place 8th in a $10+1 MTT, would I get the same points as someone who placed 8th in a $500+50 MTT (assuming the same # of players). Just curious. Gotta have some mousepads as prizes...sweet!! |
