Weekly tourneys dead?

The LP weekly tournaments were a very popular happening in the beginning of liquidpoker, 40-50 entrants for a single tournament were not an exception. The site has come a long way from then and now we have many times more visitors. You would expect the tournaments to be even bigger then, but lately we have trouble pulling in 10-15 players. Today was the worst failure ever with 3 players.

So my question is, why don't you play the weekly tournament?

normally cause im busy
today cause the last couple times i played there were only 10 players or so and its not fun enough then

I always forget. The news posts also seem to come a bit too late and they aren't really that noticeable sometimes.. maybe a different way of advertising it?

Sometimes I don't wake up in time, and I'm currently a bankroll nit =/
Maybe in the future?

I think the problem is the advertising. Ive been wanting to play in some of em, but i honestly don't even know the time they start, and i never bothered to look.

no money on stars atm.

not to mention that playing poker for fun over internet doesn't seem like fun at all.

Sadly 12 noon is a bit early for most poker players. At least in the us, what time is that in Europe like 7-8? + its such low stakes. Not many players here care about winning 150$ first prize. I know its supposed to be just for fun, but this is poker.

its obvious

[vital]myth doesn't do the weekly bulletin anymore

when he was an active newsposter, everyone was involved. since then, the main page news posting has been fairly lackluster. i don't even read it

i mean seriously corwin got everyone excited to do it

Well, since there are high stakes player, I guess there should be 5$ tourny for poor guys like me, and the high to med stakes one

i donate every week
fuick myt life

add $$ to prize pool :D


just dun have monies on ps for some time now

I think it has everything to do with the community size. When LP first started, everyone seemed to know each other, and had a good time berating each other and playing for pride in these weekly events. Now, I haven't even heard of half the players and never talked to 3/4 of the tourney entrants, making the pride factor pretty much non-existent, which I think was why the majority of the players showed up originally.

its at 8 oclock for us europeans btw (as asked earlier).. i think thats a good time, but if its 12 for the rest of you guys, i guess its a bit too early (lazy fucks).

and also, what JizzleSmitts said ^

I agree with that. If there was a tournament for people with say 2k+ posts on the site and a maybe a little bigger buyin ($40-50 or something, not something super big, just that there is at least some money in the pool), then I would prolly be more interested.

i dont play because I play to make money, which means avoiding LP players
