Whichever way the decision falls regarding buy-in, count me in. The one thing to consider though regarding transferring the money to TP: this would require the players from the other forum to transfer the money to TP as well (I *think* it would require all moneys to go to the same person). WE all know and trust TP - I'm sure the admin over there realizes that TP is a trustworthy guy, but will the users accept that? Honestly, if I were a member of the other forum and was told to transfer my money to a 'Rogue23' at PS, I'd be very hesitant. A lot of those folks have probably heard of the forum, but that doesn't automatically mean they trust it. After all, we could be in one giant conspiracy to bankrupt the other forum by fleecing them $5 at a time
 I think this is a great idea and, as mentioned, I'm in! We just need to flesh out a way to set it up so that there is no hassle for anyone and is affordable for the maximum number of players! (after all, if I'm going to win, I want to maximize my winnings  )

Have you been spending lots of time with TP? Cus that's exactly what he said!
 The whole point to this is to make it fun and maybe get a few new members in here and make this forum well known. Only way to do that is to make it cheap enough for members to join in the tourney. If you make it too pricey then you'll be the same ppl that you were when we had the last tourney that you were in charge of. How many were we? 13? Ok since there is 2 forums, maybe you'll get 20 peeps at most. Is that what you all want?? It was fun mind you but same o same o. We want a big turnout. We want people to talk about this tourney. Well those were my plans. Guess you guys just want to play each other. If that's the case, I'll suggest it to the other admin. I think we need a vote on this....we need "Superman" ..wait.... no; wrong dude lol....we need Blibbity to set up a vote count thing-a-ma-jig.

ugh
I hate to be the one to say this but I will, if the new users cant afford $10 I DONT WANT THEM HERE , I know alot of people were thinking that I just had the balls to say it. I dont want a bunch of cheapo morons here begging for $1 or something like that. I have been busted out online before but I never asked for a damn cent from anyone. Thats just not in my personality to beg for change from people, frankly if you cant afford $10 then go to some freeroll forum not here. I only have $160 on pokerstars but Ill play if its $10 buy in. |

Thank you.
People are begging for fucking 70 cents in the backer forum. That's more than pathetic. How ashamed would my parents be to know I was begging on the internet for less than a dollar?

Nice to know you grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth. Most of us didn't. And for you or anyone to put us down cus we don't have or make the same money you do is uncalled for.
Like I've said many times before, I never put any pocket money in PS for the sole purpose that I don't have any, not to waste on poker that's for sure. But I won some chips and sold them and made some money to play in here, that way. But some of you namely you and Brian, are turning it into a disgraceful act. Not everyone is loaded as you all seem to be.

Cheapo morons????.... So guess that includes me???? Is that it? cus hey... I don't have as big a bankroll as you or any of you do, so I guess that makes me a "moron" ? cus I want to play a nice game for a minimal buyin???
I don't have enough of a bankroll to join the TP league guess that makes me, and I quote," a cheapo moron" ????? Ever stop to think that, I'd just rather play and have a good time with a less buyin; I'm thinking that's what most members other than you big poker tycoons want. Sorry I even came up with this idea. Geesh!~ And yeah I do take offense to what you just said Brian. Go team up with TP, Pshabi & Nikita...and all the others that will vote with you guys.

I think it would be a good idea to have various buyin tourneys for forum members (in various games as well). I think this is less about whether people can "afford" it, but more if they should be playing with it for one event. Think about it, if you are in college and have $50-100 online and no immediate way to reload, $10 on a 1-2 table tourney (of average to good players, not fish)paying out the top 3-5 places, is not the best move.
If it is for fun, it really doesn't matter the buyin so much. There should be a $10 tourney around here for those who have the bankroll (league starts mid-January!!), but I see no reason we shouldn't be able to have lower buyin events once in a while as well. Rook, I think we would need to find a different site to host it for us that would allow a $5 buyin. The "send TP the money thing" is not that appealing for this type of tourney (especially two different sites), IMO.

guess what
guess what I dont have enough to play in the leagues either, but that dosent mean if something came along that I would want to participate in I wouldnt deposit to play in it. Dont concider you a moron because you never asked for any money from anyone here but go look at the backing section its full of "cheapo morons". And for the record im not a big poker tycoon, I play .05/.10 NL. I have played higher levels but with 0% sucess, according to pokertracker im +$300 at .05/.10 and - everywere else so thats where I play. According to your last post where you played a $10 buy in honestly you play higher stakes then me seeing as I dont play anything more then a $5 buyin. Like you I play for fun but I also concider this forum my home, I have been here for awhile and am one of the origional posters. I protect my home, I dont want to see my home trashed, you see were im comming from? |

I'm not sure how to even say this nicely.... I honestly don't mean offense and I'm not making a joke at your expense.
But when I read this, and especially the very last part (and ESPECIALLY when you mentioned N1kita, who is more supportive of you than anyone), I can't help but wonder if you've lost your mind or are someone who is either over or under medicated or something. Again, I'm not meaning any offense here - I'm just asking that you step back and try to think logically about all of this, ESPECIALLY this post. I mean..... This is seriously reminding me of the Rook overreacting thread. |

If you make it too pricey then you'll be the same ppl that you were when we had the last tourney that you were in charge of. How many were we? 13? WTF are you talking about? A freeroll is too pricey? That was a free tourney (you played in it after all). I invited 22 people and 13 played. It was a private forum tourney, so yeah, that's what I wanted. Ok since there is 2 forums, maybe you'll get 20 peeps at most. Is that what you all want?? It was fun mind you but same o same o. We want a big turnout. We want people to talk about this tourney.At first it was, "hey, let's have a tourney with the members of TP against the members of another forum." Now it's a crusade to drive up membership. A $5 tourney that only gets advertised here and on the other forum is not going to produce new members. I'd say that 90% of the people who joined the forum at the time you did or after joined for a freerolll. Frerolls are free. All in all, I'm not feeling it. You really expect people to pony up to TP ahead of time from the other site? If you think each forum leader is going to take care of their own, then who is setting up the tourney? If you do it like you suggested, then someone has to set it up as a "freroll" at Stars. That would require one of the forum admins to actually put the money up ahead of time, with the good faith that the other admin is going to give him the money he's collected. Who would want to do that? Well those were my plans. Guess you guys just want to play each other. If that's the case, I'll suggest it to the other admin. I think we need a vote on this....we need "Superman" ..wait.... no; wrong dude lol....we need Blibbity to set up a vote count thing-a-ma-jig. Furthermore, if the forum name is going to be put on this thing, I'd like for the forum to be well-represented. It's not my forum, but I wouldn't want a bunch of low-balling recruits brought in to "represent" the forum. Let's have the members do that. I think you've gotten criss-crossed on what you're trying to accomplish here. Are you trying to set up a tourney so that the forum can "battle" another for a good time and bragging rights, or are you trying to recruit people? BTW, we've had a number of buy-in tournies on Stars and I can't think of ONE member who was drawn to the forum and stayed here because of one of them. ---End Also in post---- Thank you. Maybe I should have just skipped to this post instead of reading everything before it and replying to it one at a time.
