How about a compromise on HE only. Maybe two mixed games. 'Tilt has PLHE/PLO and all sites have HORSE. The former keeps it more focused on HE and the latter has all the stud games. If the league is 10 tourneys, that will mean 8.7 are HU events. Of the 8 HE only, we can have 1 limit, 1 PL, 1 HU NL, 1 6m NL and 4 standard 9-seat NL.

IMO, this should avoid driving away those who are uncomfortable with non-HE games yet still retain the variety that makes poker fascinating.

This way the league will be 80% big bet and 87% HE.

Sound reasonable?

All HE is fine with me - I like option A best. Mondays are fine, if you want to toss in the odd second night I'm good with that too - I can usually work around any night of the week if I can see it coming.

BTW - we should start a pool on who will bust out Mayhem in LHE...

i am in. Mondays work best for me. I don't really care about the structure or games. If I actually play any of these I will be creating bounties galore. And I will take most action on side-bets and props. For example, if we play on stars, we can set an over/under on what % of flops Shabi folds for value when he acts first.

I'd prefer to have most of them on FT. #10 NLHE is fine.

Mondays before Thanksgiving:

September 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
October 6, 13, 20, 27

November 3, 10, 17, 24

November 27th is thanksgiving so 24th might be close for some?

That is 12 Mondays IF we started THIS Monday, which will be too soon to get this set up I'm sure (especially with the holiday).

So, we could:

A) start one week from Monday on the 8th. That would give us 10 weeks and the followin week for the TOC/TOF.

or

B) start in 2/3 (15th/22nd) weeks and then double up with a game (or two) on Wednesdays/Sundays of one or two of the weeks.

or

C) do B, except shift standard game night to Wednesday and then have the extra games on Sundays (to provide a little space between game nights).


I would say they go in A, C, B order for me. Other's thoughts?

I like ABC. Mon, Wed, and Sun are all good for me.

Tuesday and Tursday would wreck it for me.

I like the other games too, but I am down for an all hold'em league that might be able to use as a magnet for new membership.

If we got the all HE route, I would be very happy to put together an event/league after Christmas that would take us through all the games, and crown an all around champ.

So, if we did option A (starting on the 8th or 10th) eleven weeks, either all Mondays or all Wednesdays. Does anyone have a problem starting that soon, and which day is preferred?

I will leave the makeup of the games to a "higher power"...

I would rather see mixed games to some extent as well, but if this was promised as a NLHE season I am fine with that too. I like Invig's suggestion then to start another one right after the holidays with mixed events.
