sup y'all

i think it's time get them egos in check and play some heads up for some cash but mostly for honor. i'll try to organize an undertitle for the winner.

please post itt if you want to participate and what do you think would be an approriate stake for the race. (please keep in mind that we want everyone from plo2 to 200 to participate. higher stakes players can setup sidebets etc)

also shoot some ideas what the best structure for this is. i would be in favor of "march madness" type of bracket, but we would need exactly 16, 32 or 64 participants. if you think another structure is better, post it here.

in order to make this happen, i would like to know how many players are interested. posting itt is not a commitment, just an indication of interest.

i know there has been many of these threads opened during the past year but this time we make it happen.

i also suggest that we organize the tournament on pokerstars home games, playing the play money tables for no rake. (can americans play this?) alternatively, the match-up could decide together where to play.

a lot of things needs to be figured out so let's get going.

timetable: hopefully we can start playing late february/early march and crown the champion late march (depending on the structure obv)

It's great idea..ATM im on a brake from poker because of too much work on college but early march seems fine to me..Im def in..

In, make it a certain amount of hands?

Im in!

could only just be a registration fee and payouts afterwards just like a tournament, if its played over homegames and rake-free etc...

innnnnn

In like Flynn. I like a HU tournament type of deal with everyone putting their buy in (I'd think between 10 and 100 $) in escrow to a respected player/mod. After that, obv, the EgoDgens can make side bets on their individual matches.

IN!

If it has a tourney pay out structure then ~ $50 seems about right. And Rake free tables defintately the way to go.

How many tables/how many hands per match?

what we did last time was 3x 100bb SNGs on stars home games play money tables. 3 SNGs went by really fast, so if it comes down to SNG games, i'd say we play best of 5 or 7 to decide the winner of the match up.

i know i only got kicked out because of some brutal bad beats

I might come out of retirement and be dead money in an event like this.

count me in

how about playing just one of those SNGs where the blinds never go up?

Best of 7 all the way through. Play 2 tables at once. If goes to game 7 then one table obv. Tournament style bracket but you don't need an exact number you just set up random bye spots to fill in the draw. $50 sounds doable for everyone I would think. Payout only top 4 spots IMO. 50% first 25%second 12.5% 3&4 place

It's not really a sng but they go fairly quick. You buyin to home game for 100bb and blinds never go up. It has to be on play money tables otherwise we just light money on fire. Also would allow the USA players to bring back some oldschool screen names that have otherwise been retired

i like this one

also, last time there was trouble for people to find spots to play. i had trouble believing all the excuses.

i say this time we give 3-4 window to finish the game per round and assign a "judge" who will settle the dispute if someone flakes/is too late/what not misunderstandings/ differences of opinion

I'd be interested. I could afford up to 100, but think 20 or 50 would be better to ensure more participation.
I can only play if it's Stars playmoney account b/c i haven't gotten my account reinstated yet.

If there is space I'd love to play
