trigs;417656 wroteJust checking out the structure and this looks like it'll be a 5+ hour game lol. I mean, I did ask for more play but...
That was the next steps up. With Andrew and Cory it may be a lot faster..

Oh really? There's nothing in between? You have to up both blinds speed and starting stack? Well, it's not like I'll be there at the end anyway.
Shame we cant also get a skype video chat style setup.... I miss some of you people.

Whatever that means, go ahead...

So when and what do we play next? Sunday same time, NL/PLO like the cash game. Or do we stay with NL and start an hour earlier?

What say ye all?
The NL/PLO was fun tonight I game for either!
NL/PLO tournament sounds great. So does hour earlier.
torontotablecpt;417670 wroteAny chance for a knock out tourney next time? $5 buy in $5 ko?
No option for that in Home games I'm afraid..

DJ and I are in for that and earlier works too.
I just figured out that if you go into the "Options" tab for the club lobby you can click a box to have your real name shown in the Club Member list. Why don't we all do that so we know who's who?
I can play tonight's tourney. 7 pm or 8 pm works. I vote for all PLO or NL/PLO.
OK, we are setup for 7PM tonight, $5. PLHE/PLO, same blind structure and starting structure. Note that it is PLHE, NOT NL. No other option.
Can we please have the 9 handed .10/.25 NLHE cash table back?

I'm not really interested in playing 6 handed NLHE/PLO.

I'm not interested in the mixed format for the tournament either.

If everyone prefers the mixed tournaments, that's okay. There are lots of other games on the site. It's just more fun to play with people you know.

Added it back, not sure why it disappeared.. I will try and alternate between the NL format and the PLHE/PLO formats for the tourneys, sound fair?

My problem with the real money games on Stars is the rake. After playing for an hour count how much money people started with in total and figure out how much is left on the table, you will be surprised how much is coming off.

At 10/25 cent it is 4.5% max $2.
I have suspended SteinoSteino and Vduboy123 in the club whcih prevents them from registering as I do not know them and until someone either vouches for them or transfers to me they will not be allowed to play. First is from Cambridge, 2nd is from Kitchener so they are likely legit but I can't be sure. If anyone knows them lease let me know.

Yeah rake is complete shit. You could easily notice how much money was being taken off the table. I guess it's worth it to play with friends though.
