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.

Default I dont think so.

I think 10$ each time is good for me I`ll participate(95%). Im from europe so it could be bit late for me 9.30 +6 hours, but...if there is no other way Im fine.. I have never played any other then holdem so Im not sure about it, but could be fun. Looking forward to this.

Don't worry about not having played any of the other formats - very few of us have much time on the other tables. If you want to practice up though so that you at least get the basic idea of the others, I'd definitely recommend hitting up the play money tables for an orbit or two.

Default Im in

but if this starts next month I wont be playing next month seeing as I start work at 11pm. The month after that im switching to 7:30am to 4pm and will be able to make all the other ones.

$20 league fee sounds fine to me just let me know when to send it, $10 buy-ins is also great. Im about 95% sure im playing.

We're losing steam on this. I think we should start asap. As far as football games conflicting, cant you have a game on and play at the same time? I know its not wsop protocol but for our tourny it shouldnt be to hard to do.Lets fire this bad boy up or at least lets start some 1'ers like it was before the league.(when I won my book and name hehe) Mabey even bump it up to 50+5 every now and then. Just my 2 cents.This is New Guy from Talking Poker Radio saying I got the nutz goodnight!!!!

New Guy's on to something here. Why don't we have a pre-season kick-off game in the form of...oh....let's say....a heads-up challenge? If we can schedule that for next week then maybe plan the league kickoff for a couple weeks after that? That way, we're almost in October so even if Brian (or others) has to miss the first couple events, they still have PLENTY of events left to get points in.
