$20+2 180 person tourny

[Reel Deal]

Sweet!! Now I can fire up one of these during the lunch "hour."

Here's an idea: a TP forum leaderboard for the $20 Stars 180. I think Gordo and his 2 final tables would be at the top of the leaderboard at this point. We could make it like a points race (ie, assign points for each finishing place), or just an average of each guy's finish. Something like that... might be kinda fun to track.

That sounds like fun. We could start new so I don't have an unfair points advantage. It would be fun to get a few of us together and play in the same SNG.

That does sound like fun. We could do it a couple of different ways:

1. Open it to anyone who wants to play, and they get to turn in their top 5 (or 10 or whatever) finishes over a certain time period (like a month).

2. Only allow people to play in a set number of tourneys (say 10) and turn in their best finishes. If we do it this way, everyone would need to post in a special railbird thread when they start playing...

Sounds cool, if there is enough interest.

As soon as i get a more decent bankroll I'd definetely want to do something like that. And if a bunch of us could hop into a few together that would be cool too.

I can't think of a good way to do the points tho. - Maybe we could just do sumthin simple like whoever wins the most $$$ by playing these and u have 3 weeks or 20 tries- whichever comes first
(just a guess on time frames and tries - could be more / could be less)

Yeah, that's one way, a good old fashion prize money leaderboard.

I am really not too big a fan of these. If you do not make the top 7, your prize money is comparable to a finish in a 20+2 SnG 9 player tourny. And you must finish in the top 3 to make any sort of decent prize money

EV wouldnt this not make sense? Or am I just way off

Its definately an all or nothing type of thing for me. I agree, unless you finish top 5-7, its kind of a waste of time. I've played in three of them, and have went in with a very aggressive approach hoping for top 3 or a quick painless death. Ive finished 20 (two spots out of the money), 60ish, and 100ish. Nice return if you can win one though. I really wish (and hope they are headed for) they would run capped tourneys at more like 500 or so people. Big enough for a nice return, but small enough where it is not a crapshoot. I know smaller sites have smaller tourneys, but I really don't like playing on multiple sites at a time. I hate having to re-introduce myself to new interfaces all the time, plus I think Stars blind structures are a great balance between time issues and skillful play. Rewards skill a little more than other sites without making you want to kill yourself out of boredom.

This is probably because you have a massive bankroll.. if you have a few hundred, the shot at a thousand quick bucks for $20, and only a short field of 180 to beat is not bad.
