Can we organize a poker tournament?

[FanEagle]

I would be interested in that, I hope it will be an affordable price.

As i see some people think this is imposible, some think this can be a nice thing. I clearly said CAN WE ORGANIZE. We together, more like some friends game with not so big buy in. I see many people are interested, some are not and they are criticize. That just fall on my mind last night, I spend time here why not to play a game or two..I also asked is it possible, cause I know how much things needs to be donne and how hard that can be. But as I see maybe there is a chance..

I think there is people here that actively play poker for sure. I wonder is it possible to organize one. It would be nice if we can organize some tournament with some buy in like 0.0005 btc or less, maybe more ( depends how serious playes would like to play). I don`t know did u ever think about it, I search for similar thead but i couldn`t find. For sure that can be interesting, to test skills between us and to see who is the best poker player here.

You can start it in here by the way.
People who want to test their skill with you. (which registration fee for tournament hold by escrow)

It is depend on you, you want to play with anonymous player, or maybe we can get new friend who not frightened to show their real identity. 
Regards.

I bookmarked this thread.
If the buy-in fee is small, maybe we can hook up in some poker site and play together.

I look forward to playing with some forum members instead of getting fleeced by donkeys. Clicked notify so will keep me informed of any games that are going on. Who's getting the beers in ?

Great idea OP. I would definitely be interested in this. It would be fun playing poker with other bitcointalk forum members. I would be biased toward having it at betcoin.ag of course since (Full Disclosure) that's where I mostly play, not to mention I'm on their sig campaign.

I think it would be easy to set up. The Betcoin.ag Rep. in post #7 has already offered to host a private tournament(s) for this purpose. They already have much experience hosting private password protected poker tournaments for other forums and groups from what I can tell.

Depending on the numbers/interest, it could become a regular thing like a monthly/weekly/bi-weekly/daily etc thing with varying times so that people from different time zones and schedules can participate. And if it were password protected, we'd know it would be people from bitcointalk and not randoms. The password could be pm'ed to those  who request it here on the forums.

Whoever is in charge would just post the date/time/site/table name etc for the tournament that day or week or month or whatever and then pm the password to those interested who replied to that post/announcement. Whoever can show up to the tourney show up. Those who can't make it, maybe the next tourney date/time will be better.

I've seen in some other countries they did that,a forum kind tournament, or Facebook linked one.

[BTCBinary]

That's a great idea! You can count me in. But in which Poker room will we play?
Anyways, once you have a time and date post it here

[iv4n]

We would happily host this tournament with whatever buyin, time, and other specifics you all decide.  The tournament could be password protected or strictly ticket entry.  We look forward to your feedback.

We have biggest problem solved!!! I think we are going in good direction, let`s discuss about buy in (not to be to small or to big) and of course time. I will repeat my first thought about 100 000 satoshi buy in, and time im from Europe i have free evenings and nights, I can also play in time of day but not always.

[Joel_Jantsen]

This is the coolest thing ever .Finally we cab get to play online live bitcoin tournaments with actual human bitcoins players if no one uses bots lol This can also generate an idea of a website where you can always call out your friends and play online poker for money.Safe and legit.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if you use betcoin.ag, I believe their lowest unit is one chip which is 1 mbtc or 0.001 btc. So anything less than 1 mbtc buy-in wouldn't be possible. Unless it IS possible, idk.

Maybe something around 1-5 mbtc buy-in? Low enough to get people to join and enough of an amount to make it worth everyone's while.

If I had the money and the time I would set up a Bitcointalk only poker room for anyone who wanted to play 24 / 7

[everaja]

Get a trusted escrow and all the participants will send funds to the escrow (decided funds) , and the participant will be enrolled once escrow confirm it and then we can have a poker tournament.
I thing idea is pretty cool.

[CarlesPuyol]

Great idea but very hard to actually make it happen. I think there were several tries already.

I think there is people here that actively play poker for sure. I wonder is it possible to organize one. It would be nice if we can organize some tournament with some buy in like 0.0005 btc or less, maybe more ( depends how serious playes would like to play). I don`t know did u ever think about it, I search for similar thead but i couldn`t find. For sure that can be interesting, to test skills between us and to see who is the best poker player here.

Need to find a site which offers private tournaments, funny enough pokerstars offers password protected games, also cash games. ARGH! when willl they just have bitcoin games!

I wouldn't trust Seals now that the multi accounting scam is erupting. Pokerstars on the other hand have been going for years. There's a few people on here wanting to swap Pokerstars for BTC.

5 mBtc buy-in is fine for me. I also usually play poker on betcoin.ag
so i think betcoin.ag support is the best chance for us to meet up in some sit'n go table.

We need 9 players to make this game Live.

I'm in for this game.
Can you make all 9 players in your first post iv4n?

Like usual, in sit n go, only 3 people got prize.
Password and time must be given from Betcoin.AG PM.

Thank you, Betcoin.AG

I could maybe help with some of that, it just sucks to support pokerstars like that when they aren't supporting bitcoin.  They are the best though

The only thing about pokerstars is that there are those of us from the US who wouldn't be able to join in. I don't know how many of us there are from Mercuh who are interested in this bitcointalk poker tourney, but I'm one of them. I vote for betcoin.ag so anyone from anywhere might be able to play.
