PokerStars Private Tourney? - Page 2

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.

im in.

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.

I wouldnt mind doing it...not to keen on doing it on pokerstars since I cant stand there interface. If thats are only option then so be it.

Frontin · #31 11-20-04, 10:06 AM

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.

E-mail stars Support and they will tell you how to allow them to get through.
I am not very "techy" so I can't explain it, but it's very easy.

ChipFish · #33 11-20-04, 12:17 PM

Are there better ones out there?

Aequitas58 · #34 11-20-04, 03:04 PM

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

omahilo · #35 11-20-04, 04:06 PM

if you dont like pokerstars interface you must not play online poker lol

ChipFish · #36 11-20-04, 04:22 PM

From what I hear Pacific Poker has a very good interface.

johnbaker · #38 11-22-04, 01:41 AM

can anyone trade me some stars money for empire money so i can play this tournament...

also when do you want to do this thing? im sure the minimum transfer on stars is more than the minimum on empire, so ill need a couple days to buildup my empire roll to make a big transfer

Aequitas58 · #39 11-22-04, 01:46 AM

I believe the minimum transfer on Empire is $25, yet there is no minimum on Stars. It is possible for someone to transfer $11 if we wind up playing a $10+1 tournament.

Take all the time in the world to build up your bankroll. I just don't see it happening any time soon, because I'd like to get more than 20 people registered. (The way it looks now, I doubt that would happen.)

We can wait a month or so - if everyone agrees? This is the forum, let's talk about it.

BlibbityBlabbity · #40 11-22-04, 01:57 AM

I would be interested in a $10+1 on stars if thats what it ends up being.

Talking Poker · #41 11-22-04, 10:06 AM

I still think it would be bet to wait until late January or so. Even with a bunch of people "interested," coordinating everyone's schedules isn't going to be easy. I don't think we're going to have a huge turnout no matter when we do this, but the longer we wait, the better out chances.

jillaj · #42 11-22-04, 11:18 AM

Count me in as well whenever the game gets started.

robert2504 · #43 11-22-04, 12:03 PM

I would be interested in a $10 buy-in.

BrianSwa · #44 11-22-04, 10:18 PM

i play tons of online poker there interface is blah blah blah. Its only popular because of Chris and Greg. There are TONS of better systems not sure about the support if there support is the best for it thats one thing but there interface is far from grand. But like I said they might be best option if there support is that good ive never spent real money on that system so I really have no opinion there.

BrianSwa · #45 11-22-04, 10:21 PM

pacific is the only one I cant do I took them off my computer and swore never to reload it but can do any other one you guys wish i can do any AM or weekend since im off on weekends. Unless im in Atlantic City that weekend just give me notice and I should be able to make it.

drewjax · #46 11-23-04, 03:15 AM

I think you said it would be possible to get your bonus for posting at either Party or STARS? Is this possible? that would allow me, and many others I'm sure to participate.

bigjohnstud2o · #47 11-23-04, 05:58 AM

any site on his list. He also said Party or stars would be the most convenient. Since im getting fairly close my choice is UB. The only site besides Party that i play for real$. Besides champs if you can count that. But that would be a good way to get more people in. Use TP money to fund trny.

No pun intended. ok maybe just a lil

Talking Poker · #48 11-23-04, 10:47 AM

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking where I pay the money I pay for posts? I've been doing Party when people hit $55 (500 posts), or Empire if they want to get paid when they hit 200 ($25). I CAN transfer money to Stars, but have only been doing that for people who have signed up through my links somewhere and that sort of thing. I'm WAY in the whole from all this, so I really appreciate when people help me recoup some of my losses by joining sites through my affiliate links. Those people can get paid at Stars, but that's on a case by case basis... not just everyone.
