heads up NL tournament
 

I am sure some of you followed the high stakes heads up tourney that the high stakes forum has been talking about for the past few months and have played down to the final. Well do you think it would be possible that us (in the HU forum) and anyone else interested could do a similar bracket at maybe like a $500 buy-in to crown the 2+2 heads up forum champion??

just a thought

Re: heads up tournament
 

We could set this up as a series of SuperStack HU's on FTP. $500 is a bit high though IMO.

Re: heads up tournament
 

geez, 500$ to play a bunch of tough 2p2ers?

edit: oh and, to the LC pls. Very likely this gets locked.

Re: heads up tournament
 

If someone wants to buy most of my action, I'm in. I only play 500s if horrible people are sitting and I don't have enough pride for this [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

One of these is fine. I wouldn't like to see lots of them though.

more for bragging rights than the money, but $200 or $250 or something like that would be fine too. just super stacked best of three like the high stakers do.

i love how everytime someone posts, a poster says "very likely to get banned, or ban please"...i mean ffs chill out

ya im sure full tilt or poker stars would work with us to set it up, would be alot of fun

Re: heads up tournament
 

Glad to know I don't quality.

Re: heads up tournament
 

im assuming u meant qualify dave, why would u not?

Re: heads up tournament
 

too po'. lol

Maybe that was a Freudian Slip, but yeah, I meant qualify, but I doubt I am good enough quality either.

Re: heads up tournament
 

I like the idea, but $250 is a bit too much. Most of us are low stakes chumps trying to work our way up.

If this is too hard to organize, a HU forum 32 man private tourney on Stars could be cool too.

Re: heads up tournament
 

I would do it. agree that 500 is high, not so much for me, but for most of the people in this forum. and i suppose i would have to set up a stars account first.

Re: heads up tournament
 

i'm in for any amount up to 1k both sites

make this happen [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
-dj

Re: heads up tournament
 

I can do 250 for sure, possibly do more but would want some advanced notice. Don't want to set it up myself though.

Re: heads up tournament
 

it would obviously require some time to set up. i would say the minimum would be $300 buy-in. i mean c'mon, is 300 really that much? anyways, im gonna try to contact both the sites and see if i can set something up.

Re: heads up tournament
 

$300 is really that much. Most people who post in this forum play 50-1 or 1-2, and that's over a bi to play some of the best HU players at those levels.

Not counting the $5-$30 SNG players who could never buy-in to this. If this isn't for the money, don't make it some insane amount that we won't get 32 players for.

$50 sounds about right IMO. Top 4 paid? I can only play if it's on FTP, and they're a LOT easier to set up a super stack tourney with.

Re: heads up tournament
 

Why not for like $20? You do not want to play other 2p2'ers for money, that's just stupid, so you would do it for the bragging rights. If you want those, you want more than 5 people to play in it.

Re: heads up NL tournament
 

I do one for 100.00. I'd rather chase fish with 500 or 1K.

Re: heads up NL tournament
 

I think the game would be just as tough if we make it as low as 5$ (I can do more, however). It is about bragging rights and learning, not about money. And maybe we restrict access to only regular posters on this forum (I don't mean that you should post a lot here, just so that we prevent some guys from micro stakes NL forum who don't play HU regularly from entering).

Re: heads up NL tournament
 

one time thing, sure, i'll do whatever, but if we're gonna make a league I think $20-50 per week would fit the bill about right for most people

Why not do private tourny on Stars instead? 32 people seems the right number.

league sounds awesome.

Re: heads up NL tournament
 

A league would be pretty incredible, but if it's just for bragging rights then just do $50 or so. It would be amazing if it was double elimination as well.

Re: heads up NL tournament
 

Very good idea, would be very interresting to following such a HU tournament. A league sounds very awsome aswell.

I would follow both with big interrest and perhaps with time participate in them myself.

Gl getting something started!

lol, its not stupid at all. the high stakers do it for $5000, that is more than a buy-in to many of them also that play $10-20 and lower regularily

Re: heads up NL tournament
 

I would love to do this (best of 3 deep cash game would be awesome).

I would do this for $500, but not less than $100.

if these players play 1-2 and buy-in full then i am sure they would put 300 down in a tournament to crown the best 2+2 heads up forum champion, it is not some "insane amount" lol geesh, and it was just a suggestion, i dont know what most of u guys play for, i dont need my case jumped about it lol......and i would be glad to play all the "tough" 2+2ers for that much

Re: heads up tournament
 

i mean it would be for bragging rights, but i wouldnt mind a descent prize pool either to make it more exciting/worthwhile

Re: heads up tournament
 

I'd probably do this regardless of buy in. I don't really think a massive prize pool is necessary because it is probably better EV to be multitabling during this against donks than it is to just raise the buy in.

Re: heads up tournament
 

This would be a pretty tough field and expecting people to be willing to lose $500 is definitely a stretch for this forum. Would this be standard SNG structure or 200bb deep style tournie?

Re: heads up tournament
 

bragging rights doesnt pay the bills ffs

i'm with dentisto let's play for a fair amount. 500 isn't that much to those who play professionally i'd imagine

maybe i'm just a degen =], who knows [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: heads up tournament
 

Or, we could have two games... one for a modest amount ($20-$50?) for the people who want to play for bragging rights and another $500 match for those who want there to be money involved.

I mean, I've only played one $500 HU match in my life, and this was against a sort of bad player when I was on hyper monkey chase losses tilt.

Re: heads up tournament
 

i like how the high stakers did it. best of three series, can be played all at once or different times. 5-10 blinds that never raise, 3000 chips to start (300 BB). winners advance through the bracket tourney style. maybe we could do blinds raise every 20 mins? not sure. but i dont want the standard structure its too fast.

neither do single tournaments lol

it kind of cuts away from the bragging rights if we exclude more than half the forum

Big time. More than $50-$100 is retarded.

Re: heads up tournament
 

Yeah, I think $50 is fine. On FTP Forum (main forum I post at) we did a 32 player bracket style HU tourney. $25 a piece, and sick prizes for top 3 like an iPod and chit. It was 5,000 starting stacks, 30 minute blinds, and 10/20 starting. Good structure IMO, it worked out great.

i like the structure, i would like best of three with that structure better and maybe 15-20 min blinds. i even like the prize idea but the buyin is too small i think

u have a point, but i just don't want to waste alot of time for bragging rights althought they would be nice, i would like a descent prize pool too u know

Re: heads up tournament
 

I absolutely agree about the prize pool. We are poker players for crying out loud! Bragging rights is for Scrabble.

It shouldn't matter if half the forum is excluded. We want to know who the best is. A $2 player doesn't have a chance.

Hopefully this will take a few weeks to set up so I can afford it.

With the structures you are talking about a match will take at least an hour, multiply that by 3 games per player and multiply that by x players, and it becomes way to much work for a $50 first place. Bragging rights or not, I wouldn't want to waste my time playing 18 hours for less than a $400 profit, and I say that now because I am a low-staker, I would feel different if I was playing higher, I think.

Re: heads up tournament
 

If were not playing for bragging rights why even play against each other? You can make more money against random fish.
