Thread for the $200+$15 idea

[Penguinfan]

Since TP is not gonna be around due to traveling again, and by the way WTF? Are you ever at home, do you have a home, how the hell do you run a home business when you are never at home? WTF?

Anyway, if your interested post here with times you absolutly can't play and I will try to get something set up through support. I would imagine we would have to play Sunday morning at the absolute latest so keep in mind getting this together for Saturday sometime would probably be best. Please only post if you are fairly certain you intend to play, I know things come up, but we need to be sensative to the number of players and the buy in. Also post if you would prefer a 9 player game , an 18 player game, two 9 player games, or your own suggestion. You must also be comfortable with a "virtual handshake" deal as far as owning a part of the player that wins the seat, on that note please add what you think is fair as far a splitting up any potential prize money. I think it's only fair that the majority reserves the right vote out a player that it deems not trustworthy (IE if a new poster just shows up with 2 posts and nobody knows them or a DCopper shows back up, etc...)

So again:

1. If you intend to be involved

2. When you can't play

3. Your vote on the format and buy in

4. You vote on how to split any winnings


Please try to keep this thread to those 4 items and put anything else in the original thread.

Thanks guys and good luck.

No interest this week?

I'm not a big fan of bankrolling someone else. I am fully confident in my own abilities and would rather just win my own money than have someone else possibly lose it .

[omahilo]

I would play a sat type of deal if we can get it going.

[Talking Poker]

I like the idea... You know I do. The problem, as I see it, it the logistics of this. Finding a time when 9 interested people can play in this satellite just isn't going to happen. I hope you can prove me wrong, but based on the lack of responses to this thread, I don't see it happening.

Maybe you, me, Chip, and omahilo could put together a smaller satellite... It would require a higher entry fee, of course, but it wuold be a lot simpler to organize.

[ChipFish]

I've got a better idea.
Why don't we all try and qualify in one of the $36 tourneys...
1 in 6 makes it.... Usually fairly easy if there's enough people in it.
Then we can all just trade percentages.

i.e. Me TP and Omahillo all make it this week for example,
Then I give TP 10% of me, and I give Omahillo 10% of me while keeping a 10% stake in both of them also.

That would be smarter in my opinion....
Why bust your balls trying to qualify against good players (and me) when you can play against dead money (me).?

[Penguinfan]

Thats fine Chip, probably see you there. Seemed like there was alot of interest last week but it petered out this week when the rubber met the road.

Maybe the private satellite thing will work out another time, but for this week I may take a shot at the $36 game, how many usually in that one and is it a rebuy or freezeout?

[GeoffM]

By any chance is this an O8 satellite ?

[ChipFish]

They have both.
Here is the order I like to use to qualify at Stars.

$10+1 rebuy Turbo
$33+3 rebuy (Non-Turbo)
$33+3 Freezeout. (Non-Turbo)
Single table SNGs. (I haven't tried these yet, but have heard good things.)

I find that the smarter play is to immediately unregister from the 350k so that you now have $215 in T$....
Now use this as your "qualifying money".
Whenever your T$ get low, unregister from a 350k and use that.
I was considering saving mine up until I had a WSOP buy-in, but decided against it (Wasn't even sure if it was allowed at the time.... still not sure) then I took the whole amount and used it on SNGs and cashed out.

I should really start doing that again.

[ChipFish]

They have a $200+15 OH/L multi on Stars.... (with satelites.)

[GeoffM]

Little too rich for my blood. I'd rather dominate the lower limits then struggle against the kingpins.

[ChipFish]

Why the hell did you ask then???????
This WHOLE thread is all about a $215 tourney....
Geoff you make my head hurt sometimes. LOL.

[GeoffM]

Caffeine coupled with about 6 hours sleep the last 2 days makes my head hurt too.
