That's fine. I get up at 5:15 AM for work, so if these were shaping up as 4 or 5 hours to finish in the top 3, it'd be tough to commit to too many, but now it looks more like 3 hours max.

Either Omaha8 game is fine with me, whatever you guys decide on. I missed limit HE being on the list, just assumed all the HE was NLHE.

They are USUALLY over within 2 hours.... I don't know if any have made it past midnight, and if they have, it was barely and only after a long HU match.

I won't be in for this one. I've decided to take a break from poker, I don't plan on playing again until late September and it sounds like a lot of the games will occur in September. But for the ones in October and I'm not at work, I will be there. Although most of my poker experience is with NLHE and some LHE, I wouldn't mind sucking out on a few people in the other games.

I'm no longer able to play Sunday nights, due to work, so I'm out this time around.

I'd like to get this scheduled, but honestly, right now I'm not sure we quite have enough interest.

Maybe we should wait until Stars confirms that we can play in these new events and plan this for an October start date...?

Anybody else notice that our events being on Sunday might conflict with NFL games? Don't know how many people would have an issue with this, just thought I'd mention it. I'm in btw, as long as work cools down a bit before the league starts.

They conflict with ONE NFL game per week... It's not like the tourneys are during the middle of the day.

This sounds like fun and I'm interested in it. I think it would be great to have many different games and not just NLHE. Can anyone tell me how the standings and point system works?

Here's the link to the last league: . Reading through the first post in that thread should give you an idea of how things are run in these leagues. We've made the above suggestions in an attempt to improve the fun of the league! Hopefully you'll stick around and play! Last league was GREAT fun!

Wow, that is really thought out and a great way to score people for the league standings. I read that you might change it to $20 league buy-in. Has it been changed or is it going to still be $10? I hope I'll be able to play in this league , because it looks like fun.

Well, I don't think anything has been absolutely set in stone at this point but it seems as if the majority is currently in favour of a $20 league fee. As mentioned above, the individual events WILL remain at $10+1.

Default I dont think so.

I think 10$ each time is good for me I`ll participate(95%). Im from europe so it could be bit late for me 9.30 +6 hours, but...if there is no other way Im fine.. I have never played any other then holdem so Im not sure about it, but could be fun. Looking forward to this.

Don't worry about not having played any of the other formats - very few of us have much time on the other tables. If you want to practice up though so that you at least get the basic idea of the others, I'd definitely recommend hitting up the play money tables for an orbit or two.

Default Im in

but if this starts next month I wont be playing next month seeing as I start work at 11pm. The month after that im switching to 7:30am to 4pm and will be able to make all the other ones.

$20 league fee sounds fine to me just let me know when to send it, $10 buy-ins is also great. Im about 95% sure im playing.

We're losing steam on this. I think we should start asap. As far as football games conflicting, cant you have a game on and play at the same time? I know its not wsop protocol but for our tourny it shouldnt be to hard to do.Lets fire this bad boy up or at least lets start some 1'ers like it was before the league.(when I won my book and name hehe) Mabey even bump it up to 50+5 every now and then. Just my 2 cents.This is New Guy from Talking Poker Radio saying I got the nutz goodnight!!!!

New Guy's on to something here. Why don't we have a pre-season kick-off game in the form of...oh....let's say....a heads-up challenge? If we can schedule that for next week then maybe plan the league kickoff for a couple weeks after that? That way, we're almost in October so even if Brian (or others) has to miss the first couple events, they still have PLENTY of events left to get points in.

Works for me. Anyone can set up Private tourneys any time they want - it doesn't always have to be me, you know.

How about a warm up tourney (HU NLHE) next Tuesday night at 9:30 PM ET? Should be fun.

I'd likely play in a couple of tournies (O8, Stud H/L, HORSE) but that's about it. I'd be dead money in the hold'em events which is why I don't wish to donate to the league. And for O8, I noticed it is limit which is probably a good thing as it gives beginners to the game a fair crack at taking it down. The differences between limit and PL O8 are vast.

I like the format you have chosen though. Eventually, it would be sweet if you played the HORSE schedule more, ie 5 holdem, 5 Omaha, 5 Razz, 5 Stud, 5 O8.

In sum, I will join the next league if you guys enjoy this format and are comfortable adding some additional "non-standard" games like stud and O8.
