Why 5 players to play 4 events each and not 20 players to play one each? Or 10 to play 2 each?

Option 2 would be more fun I think.....

Pokerproposal · 01-09-2009 11:42am

thats great Triple, thats a good idea, the proposal is not set in stone.
we need to find a better/cheaper way of taking on these big money spinners, instead of people going it alone.

Mullicker · 01-09-2009 11:43am

why are you doing this? whats in it for you? whats in it for the the players? Do the players own % of themselves? If he is 100% staked wont 100% of any winnings have to be shared amongst the stakees?

5starpool · 01-09-2009 11:49am

I think before you have any right to ask people not to be cynical about this you have to provide more details about why you are doing this, how money is split, and several other things I probably can't think of at the moment.

Now for the cynical part of my reply. Chances of this happening in the (or similar) format, 0.0045%

with a margin of error of 5% imo.

Pokerproposal · 01-09-2009 11:54am

read post above re: why doing this.
it is very difficult to win these on your own

1 person pays 1000, they get 1% of prizepool
1 person pays 5000, they get 5% of prizepool

once again, the proposal is an idea open to change, not set in stone.

does anybody not agree, these events are very difficult to win, and this way you put in a good team, with a realtive small investment i.e. 1000 for 100,000 in tournaments.

Mullicker · 01-09-2009 11:55am

Are you looking for players that are members of boards specifically? chances of 100 members here putting up €1000 for this are zero. If you were a long time poster and well known, this still would have a very small chance of happening.

Pokerproposal · 01-09-2009 11:56am

THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS FOR ME.

IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO WIN ONE OF THESE ON YOUR OWN.

PUT IN A GOOD TEAM AND YOU HAVE SOME CHANCE.

Pokerproposal · 01-09-2009 12:00pm

I am not well know.
But would like to see well know members of boards poker
to open the account, so people see it is transparent.

kincsem · 01-09-2009 12:00pm

You want 100 people to send you €1,000 each? Nice idea. :pac:

Yeah, a 5x chance of winning 1/5 the money....

Mullicker · 01-09-2009 12:11pm

Ok there is nothing in it for you financially unless you are buying a stake, so what are your reasons for this?

Just a new approach to trying to get a big score for realitive small outlay.

1000 for 100,000 in tournaments
with 5 good players
and 4 tournaments

also is does not have to be EPT
the proposal is not set in stone
open up your thinking

OP, nobody knows you here (unless you're DBC), so why would they get involved in organising this with you? Or send you money lol.
Are you 15 years old and have recently watched alot of poker on youtube?

it is no wonder why the scandanavian poker players do so well,
as they share the burden, they use their heads.

Jesus Wept · 01-09-2009 12:32pm

It's not a team game.

Are they really? I don't see it myself.

zuutroy · 01-09-2009 12:32pm

Is it true that its difficult to win one of these on your own? I heard that somewhere.

Fair enough.

Check through the amount of entrants €1k+ poker tournaments have attracted in this country over the past three years, and consider the amount of regular €5 / €10+ NLHE games that run around the country. I'd be skeptical that you would have enough players with the means (never mind the interest) to comfortably invest €1000 into this idea.

Then you have the problem of selecting who gets to actually play the events. A guy from Waterford paying €1000 is going to want Nicky Power to play the tournaments, when a guy paying €1000 from Monaghan wants four guys with a Northern accent to get the gig. Who takes the responsibility for judging between a plethora of prospective players?

And finally - and most importantly - you have the question of who holds the money. Who has the type of widely held trust amongst all of the Irish poker community to take responsibility for escrowing and managing €100k for a lengthy period? Hint: the type of person with such credibility probably wouldn't go near this idea because it isn't worthy of their time.

I appreciate that it's an idea and there is no harm going through hypothetical (particularly on this platform), but you're a long way from a home run on this one I think.

It does not have to be 1000 euros
the propsal is not set in stone

Selecting 5 players to go

Option 1 put up candidates and vote.
Option 2 have closed tournament on a website
Option 3 have a draw

The money
5 people or more will open a bank account
to do anything with the acoount the 5 must sign for it
and nothing can be withdraw without the 5 peoples knowledge
the 5 people would be well know
