I think a lower buy-in would get more players to play more events.

I was just checking out the old thread of the Talking Poker league...




It looks really fun, I hope this works out, I'll definitely be part of it

I'd really like to get a league up and running again too. I'd like there to be more interest than there was last itme, but I fear there may be less.

Suggestions/ideas:

-Make all tourneys $5+.50 entry (that is the new minimum, I believe), with possible one or two exceptions (first tourney and/or last tourney).

-Lower, $10 entry fee for the league prize pool?

-Have either one game per week (say, every Wednesday night, for example), or if we do 2 per week, shorten the league duration?

I'm not sure what else. Mixed games are cool, but we should have at least half straight NLHE.

I'd like a confirmed interest list of at least 20 people before we get this going. So far, I see maybe 7 (myself included) in this thread.

Yes, bunny, it's my son Alex. He's definitely a cutie and so far he's quite the flirt too. He knows how to make a girl smile and play with him.

That's an important skill. Sadly, most of us lose that power between the ages of 8 and 12.

I'm interested for sure. I'd be able to squeeze in a game once a week - sometimes twice a week. We have a new guy at work that I can probably get in here as well.

Also - what about hosting the games at Full Tilt? We get RB there - we should all have accounts there... I can't remember the last time I played on stars...

I'd be down with those details. I am thinking once a week would be good. I'll try to talk Oceanwaves into it, but "America's Next Top Model" is on that night.
