Re: HUNL Cash Game World Championship

personally id rather the field just be a smaller, more elite field. I'm not interested at all in seeing a beast run down some random fish, id only watch the elite vs elite matches.

Re: HUNL Cash Game World Championship

would defo watch, i think the league format would be best because you'd definitely get some great matches and it truly sees who the best is.

you won't have any problems getting railers if you manage to get isildur

Im not talking about random fish with the wildcard.

I just mean there are some top players out there playing $3/6 to $10/20 HU that havent yet built a roll to afford this sort of challenge at 50/100. A wildcard could give some really good 5/10 player a chance at the big time.

For instance imagine this challenge happened in like 2009 when jungleman was grinding $5/10 with a $40k roll.

Maybe we could find the next one!

The lowest variance of the ideas. A pretty good chance that the best player in the world is crowned the champion and the order of the league table will roughly reflect the skill of the players involved (though of course extreme good or bad luck could change it up quite a bit).
this would be cool and i hope it happens, but you really have to have all the best players in the world playing in this to make that statement. ivey, PA, and durrrr are probably considered the best in the world from a public perspective, assuming 0 of them play this, the 'crown' really won't mean much.

i hope there is a way to get them to play

Re: HUNL Cash Game World Championship

should definitely be knockout or group, league would bore everyone to shreds and each individual match has very little significance and towards the end of the season when one guy is streaks ahead the matches not involving people at top become irrelevant. personally id go group as a knockout does feel a bit too much like a tournament (even though people saying its same as a no blind increase sng r so wrong).

Re: HUNL Cash Game World Championship

your idea just sounds like a tournament format with blinds that dont increase.

If you want a true cash game champion you should all play a cash game with a really high buyin 500k or whatever with the option to rebuy(s) (set capped rebuy max limit/max rebuys)

- game goes til there is one winner.
- players may opt to not rebuy when they bust, conceding a loss.
- players may only quit with $0 or All of the money.

With this format the championship could start with a few tables of the cash game. Eventually narrowing down to one table.... then down to a true Boss of a champion.

Edit: This would show presence of ability to play fullring, shorthanded and HU.
Additional Idea: Everyone could put up a separate 250k on the side (entry fee). The combine total of that 250k pool would be awarded to the winner.
