    Due to Pokerstars usual efficiency they have activated my ability to create private tournaments already, within 1/2 hr of contacting them.

    So now I need to when suits the most people and what time is best. i am attaching a poll to this post, i haven't done this before so hope it turns out OK.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    I'll check out my work schedule and let you know tomorrow


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,666 ✭✭✭Imposter


    I'd prefer even earlier than 8 if it was possible.

    None of the above they happen to be the only days and times I work


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,886 ✭✭✭Marq


    so, with the data gathered in this poll, it has been decided that the tournament will be six days long, taking place on the fridays, saturday and sundays of two consecutive weekends and have multiple start times between 8 and 10 in the evening.

    Should be good!

    on a seroious note, fair play to shortstack for setting this up. my own personal preference would be sunday, preferably in the afternoon, which i think is a time when many people on this forum are sitting on their holes playing online poker anyway.

    Off topic, but are you waiting for the U2 tickets Marq?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,886 ✭✭✭Marq


    was thinking about heading up to get one for bruener, seeing as i'm just out of work. you in town?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,220 ✭✭✭Davey Devil


    I'm back in Bray, gonna smash my refresh button a million times and try get lucky.

    well good luck with that. i can try get you one in town if you want. pm me your number if you want me to give it a shot. i'll probably buy two anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,220 ✭✭✭Davey Devil


    Thanks Marq, but I have a back-up if this fails. Enjoy your breakfast.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,666 ✭✭✭Imposter


    A question for Shortstack:
    Would it be possible/easy to set up multiple tournaments and let people play if they are able. Something like every Wed at X time, every Sun at X time? That way the numbers may not be as large as a monthly/bi-monthly game but there is more choice. The buy-ins could also be different if enough wanted bigger or smaller buy-ins. I'm assuming any times would try to avoid clashing with the more popular real world games in Dublin as well as possibly the big game on VC in the evening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,506 ✭✭✭Shortstack


    Its seems fairly straightforward to set games up so don't see why we can't have a regular one running. Buy ins can be the following:
    $10
    $20
    $30
    $50
    $100
    $200

    They can be set up anytime up to an hour befor KO.


  • Registered Users Posts: 420 ✭✭RustySpoon


    Any chance of a game that is on during weekday evenings 8 - 11?
    All of the options in the poll are weekend times so i am spending my time and money on other things... :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 834 ✭✭✭peeko


    Thanks for setting this up shortstack, look forward to the event when ever it may be!


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 3,129 ✭✭✭Samson


    I think Marq's suggestion of a Sunday afternoon is a good one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,666 ✭✭✭Imposter


    How about waiting until maybe an hour after the rugby is over if having it this sunday!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    I think e-voting is a fabulous idea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    Haha just name a time and day. 20 quid buy in is a bit steep, how about a tenner ?

    Nah! Why not make it 50 like the Monday payday tourney was, still got a lot of bodies in for that and it would give a bit of value. Whats the general consensus re the buy in amount???


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    20-30 is cool.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,666 ✭✭✭Imposter


    I think 20 is good. So how about we go with this sunday and see how it goes?

    Shortstack can you PM me the referral linkee thing. Thanks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭Waylander


    I also like the 20 to 30 buyin amount
