Jetset you can do this but not sure if you can set up free ones. The other forum im in is doing $2.75 HU matches. Im sure you can talk to support and set something up but like BB just said I think Bugsys is our best bet.

If you have to pay for each match the fees would be rediculous for everyone.

well they have a prize pool of $5 each from all players. I dont suggest this because alot of people wouldnt play because they are broke. I like the free idea, I vote bugsys. The fees arnt bad though at jetset.

Wherever we play, it's going to be free. I talked about this with people directly in Vegas and they were all very supportive and interested. Now that I'm home though and communicating with the sites via email, things are progressing a lot more slowly.

Poker Host was super interested in Vegas. They haven't even approved my affiliate application yet though (it's been a long time too), so they are about to be crossed off the list.

JetSet seemed interested, but talks have kinda stalled. Absolute has a very friendly affiliate department and they put me in touch with their tourney guy, but again, they are being slow to respond.

If nothng works out, I guess we can just do it at Bugsy's, but I was really hoping for a little special treatment. It would be good for us (a little extraprize money) and good for the poker site (loads of new potential player). We'll see...

This surprises me, and seems remarkably short-sighted on the part of the smaller poker sites. Combine all of our play, and I’m sure we collectively generate a lot of rake. Why wouldn’t a site be bending over backwards to market to a core group of serious online players? That’s got have a better ROI than buying an add in Bluff Magazine, or a lot of the other marketing efforts these guys are doing.

You would think, wouldn't you?

Anyhoo, I'm officially making the sign-up deadline 11:59PM ET on July 30th (this post has been around plenty long enough), so those of you who are considering it and still haven't signed up, now is the time. Again, this is a free month long tournament and all are welcome.

On he 31st, I'll figure out all the details, randomly draw up the brackets and post everything. HOPEFULLY the site we will be playing on will be finalized by then too...

JetSet is out.
