Shut up you we don't want that sort of talk on this site 

Wow youve dug through everything ive said on here and posted a comment that i really dont remember writing just to try and be funny mate your far from funny seriously the way you have jumped on that that bloke was not very nice and the presumptions you made about him was also not very nice, You need to think before you type as more than half the stuff you type is utter shite, Im not gonna argue with you i have better things to do whilst sat here on the dole just think before you type is all i ask

@Rocknrolla regarding the original post i gave the tourney a go but the structure aint for me tbh it seems to be a bit of an all in fest, The buy in is fine as it is, Regarding bringing in other formats of poker is a good idea though but it will all depend on the structure of these games whether they will be a success or not, Im not sure how many runners each week there is but maybe you could do something like leagues groups of 10-12 or whatever, The problem with this is getting the same players each week and having an entry fee prior to the comp starting  which someone else mentioned earlier is a good way of making sure they will be there, Im trying to do some things on the racing part of the forum but were having these exact troubles with different people everyweek, Also reading some of the comments on here it seems people have trouble playing on sunday evenings maybe you could do a few different tournies on friday night and saturday, Maybe a freezout with higher chips to start there are loads of things you could do but you would need a settled group of people for it to be fair to everyone entering, Thats my input and if you need any help im available if needed

I will say this notice how ross has disappeared after receiving the $5.5 no posts nothing ??

Hold on a minute in an earlier post it pissed you off that paul transferred  him the money and stated that the bloke only had 15 posts and hes a newbie, well youve posted 50 odd times and about 45 of them was when you won the tourney and decided to remind everyone about the fact that because you won 1 tourney you think your daniel negranu. I understand you think its banter and all that but it aint tbh i found it extremely annoying i know i dont have to read it or get involved in it but i like to read everything on the forum.

I think what would be interesting is if we had a forum heads up tournament!

we/Paul could do the draw on a thread, and say the players have to get together and play a heads up match and report the result back here, and the winner progresses onto the next round, maybe 7 days to organise it between themselves and next round starts the following week or something like that.

 

regarding different games other than NLHE, im a big fan of omaha and omaha hi/low, but no doubt you will lose players for all the different variant tournaments you want to run, you only have to look at the low entries sometimes for even the big tournaments on jokerstars of the different games. 

 

to add on to what I wrote earlier, as well as a knockout heads up competition its open to do an all play all league also, maybe promotion/relegation or whatever

- Make the buy in bigger. 

- The blinds go up too quickly, it turns into a shove fest. And after the break it just becomes who can flip the best thus taking all the skill out of the game.

- Until the hold'em game is successfully running with a good amount of runners I would not vary the game type. 

- Think about creating some cash game sessions / heads up tournaments / KO tournaments.

- I think excluding people from winning prizes because they did not play enough games is a really bad idea. This is a competitive league, if someone plays 3 games and is in the top 5 in the league, then props to them... you can not punish them for placing high in the 3 tournaments they played. Other players have the option to place lower but play more consistently and still knock them from their place.

- Sorry, but before there is any 'pre' tournament buy in amounts the tournament needs to be a lot more serious, slower structure, bigger prizes (even a GTD) and a regular start time (regardless of how your gambling is going. I understand tilt can cause you to not want to stream/play etc.) . TBH, in general buying in for the tournament should be enough, I do not know how many people would willingly front up money and sign themselves up to playing the next 3 months of sundays. 

- Overall, I like the game its a good bit of fun to look forward too on a Sunday. I would say limit the slots whilst playing poker and just concentrate on playing some other tourneys on the side. Plenty other days of the week where we get to see dead spins on slots.

you could set up 2 tournaments each week. the regular nlhe plus an alternating second game (plo, horse, hu, deepstack, badugi). people can play 1 or both but only best result counts each week for points.

I'll try and get on the tournaments a bit more, I think I've played 3-4 and finished 6th once - it is good fun. 

In general I think the pay up front thing is a little ropey - you'd end up with less players IMO (but a pretty much guaranteed number each week)

I think the format is generally okay. I don't really like the blinds making a bit of a shove fest, but I would hate each tournament to take 5-6 hours. 

You could mix it up with different tournaments (heads up knockout, 6 man max etc) but I wouldn't be as interested in omaha etc. 

Just my general thoughts

+1 on keeping it to Texas Hold Em or variants of, think a lot of people that may join the forums, have learnt or are learning that version and enjoy it, be good to mix it up, but might get over complicated and then you might need to have different groups for different awards for different players etc etc ?
