It's not us, I can email stars asking for a turbo SNG private tourney with a PW, but I think it has to be scheduled since it closes when it's finished and that one is a cash game or something I think... so I think it would be easier to same-time-sit ... imo

I think it'd be best if Stars either made or allowed you to make a game for each match that registers when both players sit. That way we don't have to worry about agreeing on times or having two players be on AIM and sit at the very same time in a 6 dollar turbo (not very easy unless both players are really paying attention and are ready, and even then can fail).

If Stars can do something like this it would be great, but who knows if they can/will.

Yeah, sitting at the same time in a turbo is probably going to be pretty damn hard. :/ Not sure if there's anything that can be done about it though.

Just offer stars like, $50 out of the prize pool to set it up for us... make password like "twoplustwo" and have two separate tournaments, one turbo, one regular... emphasize that it's just for this event and will close down after. $50 is greater than what they'd get in rake otherwise and it makes our lives easier.

Hello Bryan,

format of how our private tournaments work. However, we do appreciate your
suggestions and we have forward them somewhere they can be taken into
consideration.

Thank you for playing on PokerStars and for making our site home to you
forum's private tourneys. Best of luck and have a great week!

Regards,

Paulo

Im pretty sure I read somewhere that the $.01 tourney belongs to 2+2, possibly the HSNL guys. If there is a huge problem sitting together in the lower stakes try asking them for the password if its theirs?

If you really want stars to set this up many of you should email them asking for it. They are never going to listen to just one person.

I think we can deal with same-time-sits imo, honestly I dont think it should be that big of an issue (or I have never found it to be one) when you are both on AIM

Yeah. I don't play on stars so I wouldnt know but on the sites I play it can be easily done. Anyway gl and I'll be sure to play the next one.

funny thing is that the second letter of my first name is an r (and obviously the first is a t).

There just have been a number of people who like to insert the R who I'm not sure know my first name.

personally i think patricks win was unfair, given i'd have backed skates had i had the chance which makes it a banker imo. think we should post when the matches are being played so as not to make me miss out on free cash.

Nottom and i scheduled our match for saturday because im in europe and he doesnt get home from work before 6pm est and i dont want to play in the middle of the night.

would be good if you could clarify a deadline for 1st round matches played.

I beat Karnivorous 3-2. We chose to play on Full Tilt because you can do instant rematches rather than have to try and join the games the same time.

First game we basically played as mirror images. I got him down 2-1 then we went 9 or 10 allins in a row with the guy who was down 2-1 winning. He got some lucky ones (a 6 outer and K8 beating AQs) and I got some lucky ones (AJs beating AJo with flush, some rags beating overcards when I got down to 470) but he eventually won to go up 1-0.

Second game, I ran a few big bluffs early, got him down and won with a dominating hand pretty quick, don't remember it, 1-1.

Third game was pretty much the same, I went up 2-1.

Fourth game first hand I raised to 90 with T9s, he raised to 270, I called. Flop was 622, with a flush draw for me. He bet about 400, I shoved, he called with 44 and 1 diamond. Basically a coinflip with my 14 outs, I didn't hit so it was 2-2.

Fifth game, back and forth, I raise with J8s he calls with 78. Flop A79 one club. He bets about 2/3 of the pot out of position, I call hoping to either turn a J, T or a club draw, or to bluff-shove if he checks turn. I turn a T for the nuts, so he checks and I check. River is a 6 which gives him a bottom straight, he checks I bet, he shoves I snap call.
