Signup for August Heads up Tourney....?

[BrianSwa]

ok I will play but will have to give me advance ahead of time of the game and I might have to reschedule at the last second. I really think you should look into bugsys club it is really easy to get into free heads up games. Wouldnt want to give you a bye TP, need to earn you're way to top there buddie.

Welcome back. If we get to 33+ people, you'll be the first to get cut, ok?

BTW... I know you've played at Jet Set, Poker Host, and Absolute. Which of those would you recommend? Which will allow you to set up Play Money Heads Up tourneys without special privleges?

[BrianSwa]

I wouldnt suggest pokerhost just because there customer support seems terrible. The other forum I'am part of is having their HU torney at jetset, their customer support is amazing so it might be the easiest to set up but dont think you can play free without getting with customer suport.

Honestly Bugsys Club is the best bet, you can set up games easy. There are 3-4 heads up games open all the time. Should be easy to get 2 people into a game very easy.

I don't think any of them let individual players set up [private] matches....

PokerHost has play money ones and the traffic is low enough where it is not to hard to get in one with someone else (IM helps)

Absolute....do they even have heads up tournament matches?

JetSet....Brian is the resident JetSet expert....

If we are doing it like that Bugsy's (PokerPages) has a much better structure than any of these (10,000 chips to start, slow blinds, etc). If you can get some site to put up a prize, or to let us set up the matches to be password protected or something, then that would be cool though.

[BrianSwa]

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.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

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

[BrianSwa]

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.

[Talking Poker]

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...
