I'll have to look but i wouldn't see why not.

There is no way to limit the number of people joining a tournament. That said, I'm sure we're not going to be overrun

If it works out, I'm sure we can do a heads up without too much issue.

Tourney at 11:05, 1$ woot

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:03 am

Right now it's heads-up, but folks can keep joining us for the next 15 minutes or so. Should be cool!

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:36 am

And apparently now there's a HORSE tournament (play money) set up in 23 hours and 58 more minutes!

(tgb_nopantz set that one up.)

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:39 am

Then I set it up for Jan 8 2012...

It's create now for :45. Goddamnit.

go register and speak not of this.

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:40 am

I'm dying laughing here.

The cool thing is that a person can set "late registration" options so you can have folks who just stumble on the thread (or that intended to play a tournament but showed up late) still participate.

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:44 am

And then you forget to register for the tournament that you do have set up!

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:45 am

You cancelled it?

Oh wait I think I know. You were esting the late reg right? It wouldn't start with just me so it cancelled it. I think.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:46 am

Oh LOL I thought I was the one who had registered and I was like, wtf is he doing...

Oh god. Last time!

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:46 am

This thread is great for post padding

I am registered.

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:48 am

Looks like we're both registered for this one.

A play-money night may be just the thing to get OOers on board with this (esp. with teamspeak -- chat windows are fine for the two of us, but with 8 or 10 it could get pretty gnarly). Once folks see how much fun this is, I could see enrollment skyrocket.

Edit:
Oh man. You did it again. For tomorrow!

Would this be the place where I remind myself to thank you for setting up this club *and* not breaking your wrist or shorting out your mouse in the process?

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:52 am

okay wtf

you create it, i fucking give up lol

This could be a setup. I had to create a game at 00:00 ET (29 January). Hopefully that's what midnight EST is for you. I wasn't willing to wait another five minutes to ensure I could get it right.

There should be an in-lobby chat (we could use the cash table, but thats sort of clunky, too). And you should be able to set up games at any time, not only in 5 minute clock increments that are >5 minutes in the future. These may be our only (annoying) limitations, though.

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 1:27 am

It was all worth it! I ended up with one good hand:

Very fun time -- we'll have to do it again in the future.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 1:37 am

Yar, that was good fun! For sure we'll have to do this again!

Almost made it in but had had too much tequila to figure out what was going on. Should have some time to look around a bit today

Baroquen · Post by **Baroquen** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:37 am

I know I have money sitting in my PS account. Just a matter of finding the time to update the client and joining the group. Much more likely for me to jump in for a tourney than to sit around a cash table.

How much lead time can you how in setting up/announcing a tourney? The one you guys were talking about looked it was set up on the fly. Can we get one set up a few days/or week ahead of time and maybe get a few people lined up for it?

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 12:27 pm

Yeah, that's possible. I'm out of town this weekend through next, so I wouldn't be able to join in on that fun, but someone could theoretically set up a tournament for next Saturday at 8pm (EST) and then whomever signed up for it by then (+ a few minutes of fudge-factor time for late registrants) would be able to join in.

JC Anejo · Post by **JC Anejo** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 7:16 pm

I am also unavailable this weekend.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 10:04 pm

I've created a tournament for Saturday 8pm Eastern.

No limit Hold'Em. 2$+.20$ buy-in. Normal game speed. Winner takes all. Blind interval at 5 minutes and 1,500 starting chips.

Kept the buy-in small to get the ball rolling.

If anyone has any comments on any of these settings, speak up and we can discuss changes

Cheers!

I would be interested in a play money game. But, for now I don't want to deal with the real money/pokerstars issues. If I had lots of fun in a play money game, it might become worth my while to figure it all out (or, more likely, donate so I can play).

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 11:36 pm

Well come apply to the group and I'm sure some play games will show up

Baroquen · Post by **Baroquen** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 12:15 am

Ok - downloaded the newest client, and have applied to join. Will check back tomorrow, or soon to see the lay of the land. I might be available for the Saturday tourney. Buy-in sounds goods.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 12:52 am

My application is awaiting your attention.

My application is awaiting your most beneficent approval.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 3:17 pm

Accepted and accepted. We are now 9.

I am unfortunately not able to play tonight at 8 due to mom's bday. I'll log in when I get home and see if anyone is playing.

Could anyone who is not admin (basically anyone but Meal and myself) try to create a cash tourney and let me know if you were able to?

I've gone ahead and created some more tourneys in case no one else can, to give people some options.

Papa Smurph · Post by **Papa Smurph** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 5:34 pm

Just FYI, I see no scheduled ring tables or tournaments. I wonder if that's because I'm using the .net client so I can only see play money tables? They definitely need to work on this new feature.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:28 pm

Yeah, you need a .com account.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 8:02 pm

How do I know if I have a .net or .com? Been so long since I downloaded it I do not remember which I got (I assume it is .net because that sounds more familiar).

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 11:17 pm

If you can deposit money through the Cashier button... .com. If not, .net. Do you see any cash games or all play points games?

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 11:59 pm

Request is in. I need something to do with those $8.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 12:24 am

10 members now!

Now if only we could get everyone together at once

Tomorrow night 10pm eastern?

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 12:40 am

Make that $4.85. Stupid river Q to give him a FH over my two pair.

And tomorrow night if Flogging Molly.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 1:06 am

Don't go and lose your money now! At least wait for one of us to be there

theohall · Post by **theohall** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 8:50 am

Probably going to take a look at this tonight after work. So expect another member around 7 ET, if not a little earlier.

theohall · Post by **theohall** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:54 pm

Request sent. Turns out I had $45.00 in an account from various freerolls played over the past year and a half.

woohoo! Didn't even know it was there.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 7:19 pm

Alright, we are up to 11.

We should maybe set up a game where we can get 5 or so people at least. 2 to 5 dollar tourney buy in.

When's good for you guys?

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 12:17 am

Do we all get emails when someone sets up a tournament? If that's the case, then there's no hurting in just setting a tournament up and seeing who shows.

Still, cool to try to coordinate. Pending the answer to the question above (I definitely do get the emails), I may try to set up some games in the evenings this week.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 1:16 am

I'm fine up to a buy-in of $4.85 until I figure out a way to give them more cash.
