Ok, looking to take a crack at pooled league play. We can try this a few times and see if it takes off or not to more events, and/or events with bigger buyins. Just want to get one under our belt to see how smoothly it goes (or doesn’t)
Here’s the idea.
Play in a private tournaments on stars for $1 (that’s the lowest they allow users to create, anyone know how/where we could do this online for free would be an asset)
This will serve as a satellite to a $50-55 buyin on any major site. (preferably stars or ftp) You can’t play an event, finish ITM and say “oh, that wasn’t me playing for the league, it was my own etc) you must announce when you will be playing the tournament at least a few hours before it starts.
Anyone who takes part in the tournament sends me $5.25 via player to player transfer
The winner of the $1 tournament will receive all the funds that other players have sent me which is to be used to buy in to a $50-$60 event.
Satellite winner plays the event within a reasonable timeframe, and posts on the forum with as much notice possible so we can rail you J
Field of players who take part in the satellite own a 30% share of any winnings from the larger event which you would be responsible for transferring.
So, example:
10 people play the $1 satellite (but transfer $5 to me) “Bill” wins the event.
I send the pooled transfers to “Bill”
Bill plays a $50 event on pokerstars and wins $500.
Bill keeps 70% ($350) the remaining $150 gets transferred to the 9 other players who took part in the satellite to that event ($16.60 ea)
Soooo, anyone interested, you can register on stars. I set it up for this Tuesday Oct 5th at 7pm EST. once you’ve registered, please transfer $5.50 to Kanadian on stars

I would be up for this except Monday nights are our regular Milton league games.. :( Good luck as I thinks it's a good idea..
Old-Sloth
sorry if i arbitrarily chose a bad date. Which opens the question of..
do we as a group allow folks to send their buyin, knowing they can't play, but simply to be part of the 30% pool? I for one think absolutely yes...for anyone that would be interested at least.
Wolffhound
I'd be in.
Old-Sloth
coolio. Feel free to register/send @ will if interested. If there aren't enough players it will be refunded.

Make it a 10 person sng. Time can be arranged as soon as you collect $50. Winner takes the monies and buys into a Stars $55 event. Each person ships $5. If they don't play the sng they can ship $6.

Mondays are no go for me, but keep us posted if there is one on a different night :)

Old-Sloth

Most nights are good for me and would be extremely interested in this, however I think that another night then Monday would be good as I know a lot of other people are tied up on that night.
Old-Sloth
alrighty, given how monday already doesn't seem to work, I'll change it to Tuesday October 5th @ 7pm. (I'll edit OP once done)
DennisG
With any luck I will be home from my moose hunting trip Tuesday morning or prior with a couple of big bulls...and maybe only a couple lies. I am taking it 7pm is est? I will ship monies if I make it back in time.
Old-Sloth
yes, it's EST Dennis.
Sharantyr

when logged into stars, hit cntrl + t to search by tournament ID
creating personal events doesn't allow SNGs or capping players.
i remember now, with CNPL, we used poker4ever which allowed for private freerolls which didn't require any buyin at all, so we could maybe look into that as an option if we're looking to save $1.10 each time.
Sharantyr
May I suggest that you don't even worry about the 1.10. The winner gets the couple bucks, the seat and ofcourse bragging rights, just to keep it simple?
And perhaps its possible to run say 2 or 3 on the same night? This is a forum with people across Canada, and there could be 1 for each time zone, and if you can join more than one, great!
I think this is a great idea you have, and I think its fun to play against those on here. I really don't mind giving stars the 10-30 cents to host this...its quick, its easy
(and I wouldn't have to try and download anything new!!!)
Whatchya think?
