Can we organize a poker tournament?

[hopenotlate]

If this goes a head try find a poker room which doesn't use Mavern Software as it is possible for the owner of the site to see all the hole cards on the tables.

I guess swc and betcoin.ag are a few good sites where this can happen. Don't know if they are on maven, but they are pretty good imo.

They both aren't "on Mavens software" and are both highly trustable in my opinion (not only mine I guess).

Feel free to Pm me if/when tournament will be held.

Take in consideration we live in different timezones and we should choose a schedule who will fit the majority of us: maybe a poll could help with this.

Betcoin.AG has been kind enough to host a tournament for us.

Some of you may say why betcoin.ag and not another poker site?
or why a 11mBTC buyin?
or why this specific time?

I feel this is the meet-in-the-middle solution!

It's nice that finally set up something like this. Unfortunately I could not take part in it. How was the tournament? Someone could write some review or opinion?

[zencomp]

Well we couldn`t agree nothing by now. There is not enough will it think. I still hoping to play with some of u guy`s. I asked before i will ask again, can we find a time that suits for most of us? Share your thinking, when can u play? I said in evening i can, europe time. Sometimes even on day, depends which day... from now i`m no.1 for this poker. Is there 8 more players? S

Good idea to give the best time! For me, similar like for you - the best evening or afternoon European time, but I think I could be more flexible.

I would love to have a weekly tourney but would like it to start with at least a full table not just 6 players - even something with 20 people would better

The tournament had over 20 players, 34 in fact. The tables were 6-max tables. Does it really matter? They prolly chose 6-max tables since they weren't sure exactly how many runners would show up. Would have been kinda lame/awkward if only 11 people showed up and it was 9-max tables. Maybe they'll change if more people preferred 9- or 10-max, idk.

For me 6 players tables are perfect. It will be even better when after 7-10 games can be shuffle.

I'm sure that if it work out first time, then make this weekly will be no problem.

I prefer 6-max tables also. It induces more action and makes the game faster and less monotonous. Players with a nitty play style would prolly prefer the 9-max or 10-max tables. So boring and slow imo.

I agree with u guys, but lets take small steps first. Can we make 2 tables with 6 players. Every table is semifinal, so first 3 from table go finnal.

I think directbet just announced a similar tournament,I'm not really sure about it though.The main problem organizing the poker tournament is the time zone.People here are from different countries and different time zones.That would turn down a lot of participants as time frames wont be negotiable.But if somehow that is solved,this can be a huge idea.Also  the tournament should be hosted on one of the best gambling sites like PrimeDice .

[OshiMike]

There are 6 seats per table.  No limit on tables. I think people are misunderstanding what a 6 seat table is.

If there are 30 entrants, and 6 people per table, there will be 5 total tables of 6 people

Last tournament we had 34 entrants, so we had 5 tables that condensed down as people got knocked out.

OshiMike u missing the point, I thought to make tournament for us here on forum. No limit game is a cash game, the one who have more then others have a big advantage. Tournament is different we all have same amount, and just your skill and luck is important. I said two tables cause i doubt we can gather more then that for first time. If manage that later will be more players and more table's I hope.
My suggestion was to make this together. To be more like friends game with not so big buy in. Here we all know to play poker and rules, so OshiMike if u wish to play and hangout with us why dont u tell us when u are free to play and do u have some suggestions where we can play?

hmm this really looks interesting, I will probably participate on the next one.
I see on the announcement "Saturday November 14th, 2015", so I believe this one is gone. Is this going to be a regular thing?
