Weekly tourneys dead?

the time and buyin suck big time.

dunno how many posts i have so not sure if i like joes idea yet

and my money is on ftp. it turns out if i have any money on stars at all, i treat it like play money and shorstack omaha with it.

I don't like tournaments. You can't just quit when you feel like it :/.

Other than that the weekly LP tournament is a waste of time because of the buyin and the fact that a bunch of unknown peeps are playing them now.

imo

have like 4 flipaments on sunday and have a ladder and shit for it

seriously.

^^ This is huge.

Yesterday was Mothers Day, too.

which tournaments?

i used to play them but they look more like a sng so its -ev imo

buy in is too low to make it interesting, also advertise more and give some fun extra prices for top finishers

starcraft clan wars at same time

id personally be much more likely to play them if they were on ANY OTHER DAY than a saturday or sunday.. those are the best two days to be playing real poker.

i dont know how many people would have trouble making it if they were at the same time (15:00 ET) on like a monday or tuesday (jobs/school anyone?), but if it got popular on weekdays at those euro-friendly times id def start playing them every time i can and encouraging my friends to do the same.

is this going to come back? i was always looking forward to playing in these tours since i started playing poker but you guys stopped hosting them and it seems so fun

agreed - wise words dr.baal

I think something like monday evening would be awesome since it's the worst day of the week to do anything

Hey Meat, I can take Myths old job and try to make the news bulletin for each tourney on Sunday.

just a few thoughts:

prizes for top 3 of ladder in a 8 week season ie lessons and lp stuff as prizes.... also some kind of 'bounty' for knocking out the previous winner or some designated high stakes / 'gosu' player... extra $ added to prize pool that builds and can only be won should you win two weeks in a row.

edit: interview or something of the winner to go in write up of tourny

<3

the guys who used to play it and relish in taking victory have moved on to bigger things like final tabling sunday millions or winning wpt and bracelet events. it's prolly hard to get those guys to come back down to a 10 buck buyin after becoming big shots. but i did like some of CCMoz's suggestions about different prizes maybe, bounties, etc.

a hu league would be really fun aswell

my bankroll is too small T_T

weekly tourneys are dead meat
