Weekly tourneys dead? - Page 2

usually I just forget

It's cause we're lazy man. Who wakes up before noon on sunday!?!?

speaking for myself when i used to play on stars i played it sometimes, now i rather open up my regular cash tables at another network and not mess with pokerstars

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?

cuz u touch urself at night

Rolls on FTP now =

i like Joe's idea

If it's an issue of stakes

Have a mailing list for a couple stakes. Whenever it's deemed appropriate, autosend a pm for whoever signed up the password for the tourney. Whoever wants to play in the tourney's could sign up to be a part of the mailing list. Leave a banner on the front page to have people sign up for it, publicize the sign up list for a few weeks or so until max attention is reached. Low, med, and high stakes.

Low stakes could start earlier, high stakes could start later. I say this because your more serious high stakes people wake up later (U.S.) and go to bed later (Europe).

Perhaps with the use of PM's, people would no longer forget and play them on a more regular basis, and it being a mailing list type of deal and same stake people playing together, more of a bond could be achieved, thus popularity would perhaps rise.

Thank you for reading.

some of the lpers who used to play became millionaires...

i think the spontaneous 6max cash games at 200-600nl were a lot of fun though. Usually had like 5 guys playing 40vpip and the random LP nit playing only AA.

Playing it sometimes, but i'm now trying to grind micro stakes, and that 10$ is like 1 buy in for me, which is most of the time total waste.
I don't always have the time tho, with summer coming i'll be playing less poker in the afternoon.
I liked that tourney cuz i tought it was fun to play against LP'ers, and wasnt really paying attention to my roll since i was only playing for fun.
For right now i prefer to improve my game at 6max and to grind those micro stakes

the tournies are at 5am monday morning my time -_- thats why i dont.

increase the buyin just a little? make it worth while.. like, if you win now, you score $100 or something. that's not much to a lot of people here.
requiring 2k posts to play is stupid, a lot of ppl including myself are still regulars but dont post enough one-liners in hand histories and other threads to have racked up 2k posts yet, doesn't mean we shouldnt be able to play

excluding people who don't have a lot of posts is bad i think.
yesterday was mothers day...

Of course it may not be 2k posts plus, it may be 800 posts plus or it may be filtered by date of registration at LP.net, etc.

cause it doesnt seem worth it to play them anymore cause the field is very small and i would rather focus more in the sunday warmup or any other important tourney at that point , and yeah, perhaps increasing the buyin would be good, according to the last poll of 'what stakes do you normally play?", most of the people play low stakes (NL50+) so it shouldn't be a problem.

For me, im usually playing sunday tournaments, and i found LP ones were distracting me from the ones that matter. I was paying more attention to some random $10 tournament and chatting to ppl, and totally ignoring the 215s i was playing at the same time.

Also, the buyin is pretty small so its fairly meaningless, but even if you made it bigger i doubt id care that much since it would just be a 100/215 sng with a tougher field than a normal sng, and im not all that bothered to play just for the sake of playing with LP people. (altho if ket agreed to play every week, with such dead money i might have to)

I dunno what else you can other than make weekly reports like you used to, and maybe have some kind of league/scoring system (like you already have) but it actually means something - either everyone throws is $x and makes a cash prize for the most points at the end of each 'season', or give away LP related prizes (other than coaching/custom icons i cant think of anything really)

1. Increase the buy-in to $50.
2. Change the day to Saturday.
3. ????
4. And they lived happily ever after.

if the winner would get a lp.net t-shirt i would play

800 posts? I better start getting busy spamming General - and do less post editing to add content and more new post creating. But yah - I wake up on Sunday and always ask BigRed - "am I too late for the LP tourneys" and always am - but if they're starting at 12 noon I never had a chance anyway.

stakes are too high for me =[
