Anybody up for a No Limit single table (max 10 entrants) tournament only open to RHPers?
I'm thinking $5 buy in, with one buy back. Top 3 get paid if there are more than 7 on the table. I think the format is 50/30/20%, so top player gets $25, 2nd gets $15 and 3rd gets $10 (no buy back assumed).
I'd be looking to schedule the tournament to start at about 9.30 pm - 10.30 pm GMT.
Everybody starts off with 1500 chips, and the blinds start at 10/20, increasing every 10 minutes.
I'd use pokerroom.com to set it up, as they facilitate private tournaments.
Anybody up for this?

There are no further payments to the poker site.

Originally posted by badmoonI have nothing to do with the finances. I just set the parameters for the tournament, which include the buy in. pokerroom.com looks after the entrance fees and distributes the prizes to the winners.
How do you handle the finances? Through a pay pal at the site or what?
You can deposit your money via Visa, Mastercard, Netteller, Click2pay, etc.

Today would be out, though. Sunday, perhaps.

Originally posted by RagnorakHowever, I think most of the poker sites require a minimum deposit to open an account. I think pokerstars was around $50.00 to open an account there.

I guess you could open the account, play the RHP tournament for the $5.50, then cash out the unused balance in your account if you didn't want to stay with that site.
And there is the US issue as well. Someone may have figured a "work-around" on that but I don't really know for sure.

Originally posted by nmdavidbDave, I think nearly all of the online poker sites allow you to play for funny money. That doesn't require making a "real money" deposit.
That is why I play for free on ultimatebet.com
I like their setup alot better than PokerStars

It's just if you decide to play for real money that you have to make a deposit. A few years ago at pokerstars the minumum was fifty bucks. I don't know if that is the same on all of the sites or not but thought it should be mentioned here for anyone who is considering entering this tournament.

I go to Blackhawk...which is our casino land here outside of Denver and play hold em usually once a month and do well...sad thing is is that it is limit...2/5
But they do have big tourneys...have yet to make a final table in one of those...best i have finished was 14th out of a little over 200.
At limit though I usually double up after a few hours...take abreak and go to this one little place that gives free hot dogs if you are playing their machines...drop $5 into one at the bar and milk it through 2 hot dogs and two beers...needless to say..Dave is cheap. Damn buffets are way too expensive and once you get your blood rushing from playing for a few hours I can't just load myself up with food. Otherwise when i go back to the table I would probably fall asleep in the middle iof a hand.
But the most I have won in one day playing limit was a little over $300...which was grinding from 10 am till about 8pm.
The most I lost in one day was $200...ever have one of those days playing where everytime you get trips..someone has a straight...or you with a straight and them with a flush...I had one of those days.
But most of the time I walk out usually $80 - $150 richer for my efforts.
Anybody else play hold em at casinos??

Re: mw's point, I don't think there is a min deposit.

If we got a bit of interest, then we'd agree on a date in the near future, ie: a week from when we have at least 6 players confirmed as interested.

It's also really difficult to bet a player off a call. I've been playing a few $1 tables recently, and while the risk is minimal, the game is much more realistic.
