PokerStars Private Tourney?
How many out there would be willing to play in a private tournament for the Talking Poker forum posters?
Setting up an account w/ Stars is easy if you don't already have one. From my experience, Stars is great when it comes to MTTs. Maybe we can get Stars to add some money? A reach, but who knows. I'm not about to email Stars until there is significant interest. What limit would work for everyone? $10+1? $20+2? I'd like to encourage the most participation, so I imagine a lower buy-in would be best for everyone, even though some people play SnGs for $100+9. I'd love to get something together but I am unable to play on the weekends. This means Friday, Saturday and Sunday day and night. Best days for me are weeknights. We also have to deal with people's varying time zones. Start posting interest - maybe we can get something going.

The last blogger tourney was held on Pokerstars, it was $20+2.
Had 133 people sign up. Count me in as interested for the $10 or $20 options. |

This was discussed in the Suggestion section. I'm personaly all for it, and would even happily put a bounty on my own head, just for kicks
I think we should hold off until after the new year though... Oh, and I'll play any limit you guys decide on. |

Sure, why not
After all my babbling about grinding, a freewheeling NL game against you guys would be a blast. I'm in, though if it is a weekday, would have to be in evening Pacific Time for me to make it.

Players.
TP has 116 total members. That's not too shabby. I posted to see how many of those 116 would be interested.
Because Stars private tournies would be very easy to setup, we could have a lot of them if there is some serious interest.

Wait - lemme guess: only if it's the first hand of the tournament, right? It's all about survival!

Probably
I would consider doing it also. I could post it on the Blog, and get some interest in TP's site. I bet we could scrape together alot of people. I get about 100 hits a day.. Not a hell of a lot, but nothing to sneeze at either.

Yes and No.
Although I would like the idea of more people, I would want the tournament to include just the current TP forum members. I think it's more fun that way, don't you?
I mean, we could all play in an open tournament, and see how we do when all the dust settles... just a thought. Still kickin it around... I feel like if I set it up thru PokerStars now, then only 10 people would play. LOL.

I agree, but would like to get the people who are on TP's site/forum, who are truly interested in learning to play better poker, and show that by earning TP's bonus by posting here often. If we just wait a bit, til after the holidays, then the bonus will be over, and people from this forum who dont really play online for real money, will have something to play for (and dump all their chips to the better players) in the tournies. And like you said there may only be 10 players who would do now. So any suggestions from anyone on how to make it as good as possible, lets hear em. We can make this top notch. I think the forum/posters here are the best I can find so maybe it will carry over to this.

Great idea
I'd definitely play in the tourney... just can't get stars through the firewall that i'm behind now.. anyway I think this is a great idea, and it'd sure add a lot to the "how should I have played this" forum.

Quite simply, it's the best interface I've seen - especially for these private tournaments. Additionally, `Stars support staff is second to none.
