Blehhh i definitely want to get in on this but I don't think I can swing it. If this goes well maybe we should try to run one every other month...

I'll be keeping an eye on tourney. And if anyone wants to do a draft of some sort when the full bracket is out let me know. I like a fun sweat.

when 4 tabling hu 3k hands cant take more then like 3-5 hr right? Some of you guys must be really busy

Let's try to get this started within the next few days. We still need 5 more guys though.

It would probably take like 4-5 hours. But you need to find 4-5 hours that you and your opponent are both available. If this were happening in pretty much any other month (not counting wsop) I would have unlimited free time. But I've got lots of mini trips planned and I'd rather not devote all of my poker time to 4 tabling a 2p2 reg at 1/2.

Next time for sure!

Now we're talking

Im, in, to whom do i send teh moneys (also would wanna send party and not ftp).

Wanna play on party/ftp/microgaming/prima. (everything but ftp is teh best).

For those who wanna play but a bit scared of regs, max you can really lose, unless you are gonna get raped is around 2k (500$ for registration + 1.5k if you run about -10ptbb/100).

ok idk if this is good/bad idea what do people think about escrowing say 2k then playing the matches at play money tables then just escrow ships money that way we avoid rake. And then if for some reason one person is up close to 2k player losing escrows more but doubt anyone will be down over 2k and if they are they would probably just end up giving up? Or would most just keep playing even if they have no chance to win.

Also idk if it'd be an issue seeing as HEM doesn't track play money. I mean either way but HU rake is pretty rediculous and as long as we all want to play matches where none of us will have a huge edge eliminating the rake could be pretty big.

i have huge edge btw

I guess you could ship an extra $500 as quitting insurance or something like that.

i'm in as long as i can get a reputable poster to trade me some ftp for my stars

Sending pm, can do this for anyone btw

What's wrong with people quitting early if they are giving up?

Replied. Also, are you cool with helping to transfer back to stars from ftp after the tour? If I actually win money, I'm fine with keeping it on FTP, but I'd like to get my original invesment (in full or whatever is left when we're finished) back to stars.

i'll play

I have now updated all the names that have expressed an interest in participating in this tournament (still need the FTP names of some of you) and there is one extra spot left barring any premature exit.

Note that a final shuffle will be made upon the final confirmation of the last 16.

Also for those who are wondering, zachvac will be the escrow.

Shipped 500 to zachvac, sn on ftp - bluelight30

Would want to swap 1k-2k party for 1k-2k ftp (want ftp obv).

on second thought im not sure if ill be able to complete this so best to stay out. i will do a draft or random fun bet though.

SHipped escrow. 2 more spots left.

Also, regarding the payout structure, I was thinking 1st pays 5k, 2nd pays 2k, 3rd and 4th pays 500 each. Anyone else have any ideas? Steeper pay structure?

fk it, im in. assuming i don't end up seeing something in the stipulations i don't like

i assume we can play higher if both sides choose to, right?

Nothing

maybe I read your post wrong. Sounded like you were worried about that.

is general consensus that zachvac is a good choice for escrow? We couldnt get a bigger name to do it? Not sure i like that the escrow is playing in the tournament, prob not a real big deal though. No offense intended with this I just dont know any of you really and am generally very cynical.

I'll escrow if u guys want

umm yeah no one actually told me for sure I was escrow just read about it here...

I was asked by cubkiller and said I wouldn't have a problem doing it as long as no one had a problem with me also playing in the tournament. Now theoretically it shouldn't matter since if I was going to scam 4k or w/e it is I could do it whether I was playing or not but I can definitely see people having a problem with that so I did suggest possibly finding someone else. If everyone playing is cool with me escrowing that's fine I think I have a pretty solid rep have several people who can confirm we did 2k+ transfers where I sent last and I had an ept score where I sold action and paid out ~5k with no problems. If we do follow my idea of escrowing money for each individual match however we should 100% find a different escrow to hold that money, and not just for my matches.

I'd rather 3rd gets 1k 4th gets nothing we could have 3rd place match between losers of semis to decide that.
