Are you sure? I thought this also but then clicked on the toury info tab and it says it pays 3 places.... The setup options are very limited for me and I was not able to change payout amounts, I thought top 15% was standard though. Either way it will be fun and if it goes fast we could all try a live low limit table or another tourny after, we would just ahve to communicate it in the tourny table or on the chat here... there is also a nifty search for player feature so if i get knocked out quick i might go to a limit table and play live if anyone wants to search for me and play together.

cool bigger pot ftw I will be playing from champs tonight on my laptop

Correct, most credit/debit cards get declined because on internet gaming laws. The e-check will work, I have been doing it for 7 years.

Correct Full Tilt does this too.... Deposit $200 get 200 in your bonus acct to unlock all the way up to 600.

OMG this wins.

Hopefully I at least have 1 or 2 more from srdayton.com..... If not we will still have fun, its only 11 bucks.

Yeah I am putting it on some Dayton forums.

Thats the start time we want right?

Awesome!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:eek:

Sorry I know the password...... since I made the tourny..... its real easy..... ok its columbusracing

Sweet~! Hello Michael, Thanks for your email. We are pleased to grant you privileges to create your own regular private tournaments at PokerStars. Your account has been updated accordingly. To create a new tournament, start the PokerStars software, and from the Lobby screen, select: 'Requests' -> ' Private Tournaments' -> 'Create Tournament' Please consider the points below when creating private tournaments: 1) Private tournaments are a "privilege" for our real money players and their friends. Private tournaments should not be "open" events with publicly available passwords, nor be created with the intention to advertise external websites. As such, neither private tournament names, nor lobby messages should contain a web address (URL) or email address, where tournament passwords can be located. 2) A password is required, and must be 6 characters or more. Passwords are also case-sensitive. The password must not be advertised in the tournament name or in lobby messages. 3) Stud games cannot be Pot Limit or No Limit. 4) We recommend tournaments be deployed several days in advance for better player attendance numbers. However events can be created with as little as 60 minutes notice. 5) For clarity, we recommend including the buy-in amount in the name of the event. For example: "Poker Babies $11 weekly". Otherwise, players will have to visit the tournament lobby to identify the buy-in amount. 6) The "Message in the tournament lobby" is optional. Any messages will be displayed in the upper-right panel of the tournament lobby. 7) Please keep all tournament fields free of inappropriate references, as PokerStars will cancel any event deemed to contain inappropriate communication. Players may also have their private tournament privileges revoked if abuse of the feature is detected. 8) A private tournament can only be canceled by its owner using the PokerStars software if there are no players registered. If one or more players are already registered, the event can only be canceled by a system administrator at PokerStars. Please email support@pokerstars.com in these circumstances. 9) All private tournaments are subject to the standard tournament rules and also PokerStars' Terms of Service for use of the software. 10) Tournaments you create will have a "standard structure" of 1500 starting chips and 15 minute blind levels. 11) Best of luck at the tables! Thank you for choosing PokerStars as the home of your private tournaments. Please let us know if we can assist you further, and thanks for playing at PokerStars! Kiel PokerStars Support Team

k cool

Make sense?

no no no sorry i might not have been clear. In a tourny we will start with 3,000 chips to play with for your ten dollars. When you lose those you are out and get nothing. UNLESS you are in the top 15% aka 1st 2nd place, with 10 ppl. What you are talking about is live cash games. In a tourny you pay the extra dollar or 10% up front. So we will pay $11 to get in and only get money if you win 1st or 2nd (with ten ppl)

For the triple: I have not played a NL tourny for 6 months or so, like I said I love 3/6 5/10 - 6 person limit tables, so I hope I can stay tight, but my limit style is much more skewed.

Also when you cash out there is no fee, just a minimum cash out amount (so people can't cash out .50 cents all day long. And a max of 1 cash per week on PS. I like Full Tilt because you can cash up to 3 times per week and if you cash $250 + you can get it the next day in your bank acct.

They take nothing, they make there money on the buy in. Our tourny will be a 10+1 or $11. They run thousands of these a day all all different levels. They take the +1. So they get $10 bucks if ten of us enter. Now on the limit and NL tables they take a rake out of each pot. so for every 10 bucks in the pot they take 1 dollar up to like 3 or something like that. In a $5/10 limit table the pots can get up to $150+ and PS will take $3. I will give anyone on here $3 bucks for $147 . Now imagine this there are currently 208,000 players on 32,000 tables right now. Say HALF of those are live real money tables. It takes about 1 min a hand. Just as a LOW ball average lets say each of those tables takes $1 a min. Thats $16,000 a min PS is earning, NOT including the +1's off the tournaments. BTW the higher buy in tournys, aka $500 can be $500+ $30 so $30 goes towards PS. Short Version: They make big $$$$.

Well the only thing you can lose is what you put in on the tournys, thats the nice thing about them. So $10 bucks for a lesson this Sunday...

It really does take years to learn, although I still lose money sometimes too. Sometimes your just don't get the cards.

Nah not really I don't know much about BlackJack and other forms of poker.

If you don't already go to finalgear.com and download the top gear 720p episodes, last weeks was the best one I have ever seen.

Yes but to use it to its full extent you want to put in $600 to get $150. You do have to play to unlock the bonus but it does not take that long. On Full Tilt FIRST TIME depositors get 100% up to $600. Deposit $600 get $600, again you do have to unlock it by playing.

Just sent: Hi I would like to create a Tournament for me and a few friends to play in, how do I go about doing this. We are looking for a $10 buy in no limit texas hold'em. blinds increase every 10min pay out top 15% Sunday Jan 10th at 10:20pm with late registration till 10:45 pm. Thanks in advance -Mike

For anyone that wants to sign up for a real money acct please pm me so I can refer you also, (we both get a sign up bonus). If you are currently on PS they are offering a reload bonus until Jan 10 25% of whatever you deposit just use code 2010.
