Default TPF League III Interest List and Suggestions...

The deal will be about the same as last time:

(See details in that thread)

Quick summary:

We'll have 20 Events on - 2 per week for 10 weeks... One every Sunday night (no more Saturday tourneys) and one on T, W, or Th night each week. 9:30 PM ET.

The league fee will be $10 per person. You can play in the events without being in the league, but to have your points count and to be eligible for the prizes (and the Tournament of Chamnpions!) at the end, you need to pay your entry fee first.

I'll kick in some extra cash and/or prizes. I'm not sure exactly what, but I'm thinking I'll put up $100 for the TOC, and maybe throw in a sweatshirt for the overall League Winner.

Other than not having any Saturday tourneys, I also suggest the following changes for this time around: Let's mix in some different games. My suggested breakdown:
14 NLHE
1 Limit HE
1 Omaha (PL)
1 Omaha H/L (limit)
1 Stud (limit)
1 Stud H/L (limit)
1 HORSE (if they offer them by them - cross your fingers)

This will still make the league very Hold'Em focused, but I think it would be fun to TRY some of these other games, even if it's just once each. I'd be ok with more of each, but I'd rather ease these in and see how people react to them this first time around, rather than going crazy with the mixed games.

The other suggestion I'd like to make it to only count the Top 8 scores for each person, instead of 10. This should make the league a bit more competitive, and more fair for those who have to miss tourneys. Last time, no one scored 10 times. Only N1kita scored 9 times, but a few people were in the 7-8 neighborhood:


Ok, those are my thoughts. Let's have this thread be both an interest list and a discussion thread for other ideas. I'd like to get things finalized and the schedule out by the end of the month, with the intent of kicking off the league in September and running into November, hopefully wrapping up before U.S. Thanksgiving.

Oh, and yes, I plan on winning. Again.

Yea I like these dates you picked out better than the last. Yes, I am interested, and I wouldnt mind to see few more Omaha and Stud Hi/LO events. But we need to come to an agreement as a whole.

I like the mixing of the games idea, the thing is will some people who might play in this league pay $10 to play Stud H/L split for the first time? just a thought.

The top 8 scores is good, less emphasis on playing all 20, but also more incentive, as youll need some better finishes to be higher.

The satirday games were low, so pure weekdays and sundays is a good plan.


Maybe kick the entry up to $20? as for 20 games at $10 a game, thats $200, and that was just about the total pool from the whole thing, just reckon itd be alot better if the prizes were higher for the end finishes.

Like i said, just some input, i prolly wont be able to play here by then, just offering my 2 cents

Bumping the entry fee to $20 sounds great to me, actually.... I'll be interested to see others' reaction to that suggestion especially.

that was actually a suggestion of mine around last year and everyone agreed on 10. I never ended up playing a single event with you guys due to my schedule. But I look forward to it this year. But $20 dollars seems ideal

Yeah, a $20 entry fee sounds really good. My only other suggestion is to drop 1 NLHE event and add a second HORSE event.

I'm definitely interested in joining (and almost certainly will). The only thing that is up in the air right now is my work schedule. I'm finally going back to work as my parental leave ends Sept. 5th. Hopefully I don't end up with a night shift...

As was sorta mentioned in the chat last night - if Blib isn't around to keep track of/update the points, I'd be happy to step in and look after that as well.

Default Hail to the king, baby

I like all of the proposed chances, esp Robbie’s idea of switching a NL for another HORSE event. I am definitely in for the league.

I am a frequent Canada basher (mostly out of envy) but serious, a year paternity leave is awesome. I am jealous.

Now, some facts about the upcoming league:
1). I am one of the weaker players on this site.
2). I will be lucky to make it to 8 events total.
3). The 9:30 start (perfect imo) is early for most of you degenerate losers, whereas I am wiped out and ass-dragging by then, even if it is 8:30 for me.
4). By the end of the 10-week league, you will all bow before me and thank me for gracing you with my cyber-presence.

12 NLHE
1 Limit HE
1 Omaha (PL)
1 Omaha H/L (limit)
1 Stud (limit)
1 Stud H/L (limit)
1 RAZZ (Limit)
2 HORSE (if they offer them by them - cross your fingers)

Razz and HORSE have to be coming since there are events in the WCOOP, right? I hope they get them up very soon so we can check out the structure (it should be 1000% better then FT's structure for them).

I REALLY like the idea of the other games being included. One thing (especially O8B, and S8B) is that we will want to make sure that people are going to play in all the different events. Some of the games would really suck with only 3-4 players. If everyone will be giving them a shot, then it should be a great time.

I like the idea of the different events (although I will get blown away at Omaha). Is it just me or wasnt stars talking about adding pineapple as well along with razz and horse? IF so, why not add 1 pineapple event, if not then ignore this.

Im down -- but Im not sure how many events I'll be able to make (last league I wasnt too good) bc of work schedule

To clarify.... the weekly entry fees will still be Stars' minimum, which is $10. The LEAGUE entry fee (100% of which goes to the prize pool at the end) will be $20. If people are willing to spend $220 on entry fees (for all 20 events), they should be able to kick in $20 to the league as well. Last time around, we paid that money to the top 4 spots, and I think it worked great.

As for these other suggestions of adding another HORSE event and a Raxx event, etc- I'm totally cool with that, but you need to realize that these are NOT options at Stars right now. If they become options, great, but right now, these are not offered for Private tourneys.

My new and improved suggestion is to set up the schedule like so:
Sunday nights - NLHE
Week nights - Mostly Mixed Games

We'll set up the schedule so the last few weeknights are NLHE, but if Stars adds Razz/HORSE, we can change them there.

How does that sound? Would you guys rather have Sunday night or the weeknight being NLHE? I think since that tourney is always on Sunday, having it always be NLHE is the way to go. Then, the floating tourney during the week can change from one game to the next.

Also, you guys do agree that those all need to be limit (other than the PLO), right?

See last time's for exact counts.

But we typically would average 10-15 per event.

looks good... I would consider playing some of these events, depends on my schedule.

Also I like 2 HORSE tournies and 1RAZZ tourney. Im in the minority and like the other games better than NLHE.

I also want to suggest possible TWO PLHE tournies and one LIMIT HE tourney. I prefer these two HE games to NLHE. I like PLHE because you have to play after the flop. in ALLIN (NL) HE you dont have to play after the flop. Limit HE is a fun game as well.

10 NLHE
2 PLHE
2 HORSE
1 LHE
1 PLO8
1 PLO
1 RAZZ
1 STUD
1 STUD8

Well thats about all I got.

Excellent suggestion. I have no problem adding PLHE to the list. LHE is already on there.

Do you really want PLO8, or limit O8?
