PRELIMINARY: DNForum Poker Tournament - #2

[Bob]

Alright guys -

The first one was a blast - lets do it again!

We need to decide on a time for the next tourney. The date will be Sunday 2/20/2005.

I would like to get as many participants as possible. We will make it the same format as the first one - NL hold'em with a $10 + $1 entry fee ($11 total).

Adam will generously donate $500 to the person who wins the tournament, IN ADDITION to the regular winnings. (so, it first place pays $150, you will get $650 - second place and further get the regular tournament winnings).

For the next week or so, lets take votes for the best time. Sunday seemed like a good day, but I think a lot of people wanted it a little earlier.

I would propose 2PM eastern, which I think is 7PM (1900) GMT.

Suggestions / comments and opinions please? Once we decide on a time, I will create the tournament on Sunday Feb 20 and post the username and password here.

Time sounds good, $10 buy in worked well...

I will sign up for sure!

 

[octobus]

I'll sign up too if you arrange it a bit earlier

2 EST is a bit early. How about 4 EST which would be only 9 GMT.

 

[JEsports]

Wow ... that is a very generous donation Adam! Congratulations to the winners of the first tourny, was great fun and I look forward to the rematch

Thanks to Bob as well, for organizing everything so well!

Bob, any chance of setting up a free tourny somewhere? Not all of us are leagally able to bet ya know (even though I am 103). Maybe for a free tourny we would bet some f$ like 100 or something. Just an idea.

later than 2PM eastern would be better imo

Don't forget its going to be superbowl sunday

"The date will be Sunday 2/20/2005" ... plenty of time to recover from superbowl sunday

 

[iBizStart]

Oh sorry thought it was going to be every week and thus I assumed next sunday.

 

[lukeeales]

I'm in as long as it doesn't start later than 10pm GMT on a Sunday.

No places that I know of host FREE tournament. . .

 

[jojoyohan]

Someone did say something about ultimatebet or something. Playing for free (like nothing up for bet at all) is really dumb. People don't really play so we get to the part of F$. Now thats the stuff.

 

[Bob]

Alright- how about 4pm Eastern (which would I THINK be GMT: 900PM [2100]) on Sunday 2/20/2005?


This seems to be a happy medium time for everybody, plus it gives us time for forum members to sign up.

Yes it is 9pm GMT - and the time is great and should suit most people.

 

[lukeeales]

Unfortunately I can't participate, which is a shame :-( My university won't allow me to connect to pokerstars, and I don't think it can be fixed.

 

[Togoodhlth]

Im in!
$11 to potentially win $600 plus! (Thanks Adam for that!)

Luke that really blows!!

 

[paymaster7]

Could someone transfer $15 to my pokerstars account so i can enter this? My CC's aren't working for funding it. I'll give like $20 paypal in exchange?
