I would be interested in joining a poker league but what software or site would we be using?

I'm trying to get us a sponsor.

As for the tournament itself, I thought about at at least 3 a week two times a day (for different time zones), and at least one of them should be a freeroll. Depending on the place you finish you would be awarded points for the Poker League, and in the end of the month prizes would be paid for the top players in the League.

Maybe you can send a message about your idea to betcoin.ag or betcoin.tm . I'm sure one of those two sites will happy to support your idea, because it will bring more traffic to their site. And for sure I'll be there when the poker league is ready to run Smiley

Yep I'm already in negotiations, so everything should be up and running very soon I hope. Stay tuned!
I'm pretty confidant we will have this Poker League!

Sounds good, tell us if we have this poker league. betcoin.tm seems good, because they have many promotion about their website. and this poker league will boost new player to come to their website.

yah i am equally excited to hear the news, hope to see more updates and hopefully things will get approved and happen for real!

I would but only if I like the browser based Poker room and currently there aren't any. So unless you're thinking of making a new site, I'd pass. Also, all the people which seem to be excited are only because you said freeroll and you'll get a lot of them entering the freeroll but very few will actually play buy-in tournaments. This is the reason why a lot of good sites died.

Cautiously, I am going to say that I would probably be interested if something came up with something legit, safe and fun.

Hello guys, I'm a poker and sports betting enthusiastic. I'm glad to see the sports betting thriving in this forum.
Every day we see new tipsters threads, and we even now have a competition for tipsters, in which I participated and that is now in the IV edition.

So the big question is:

What about poker?

Would you like to see a monthly Poker League in this forum?
If so what would you like it to have?

I think it would be great if we had some exclusive tournaments for us during the week, and at least one could be a freeroll, and we could get points from participating, based on the place we finish in the tournament, etc, and in the end of the month prizes would be paid for the top players in the league.

Let me know what you think about this. What would you like to see in a Poker League?

It would be a great Idea and deal for Poker Lovers, because playing with house is not good, instead playing with players is very interesting were we can show our skills and talents. and if the tournaments and freeroll are added will be good.

Their are some sites who are giving freerolls and tournaments but their are some problems with the tournaments when running online. so this should be solved then everything is good.

Be sure to include and the buy-in in the leader-board formula. E.g. the freeroll should bring a lot less point to it.

The idea is to have more buy in tournaments than freerolls, so for that reason alone people playing in the buy in tournaments will have a chance to get more points. The buy in tournaments could award more points, but it should remain balanced. The main idea for the freeroll is to allow players to collect some coins there, and be also able to play in the other tournaments.

I would but only if I like the browser based Poker room and currently there aren't any. So unless you're thinking of making a new site, I'd pass. Also, all the people which seem to be excited are only because you said freeroll and you'll get a lot of them entering the freeroll but very few will actually play buy-in tournaments. This is the reason why a lot of good sites died.

Not going to create a new site. Will try to get a sponsor and if the site has web browser poker it can be played in a browser. I'm used to download poker software, I even prefer to do it even when the poker room has a browser client, because clients tend to lag less and normaly have more features that I like to use. It would be great to create something that everyone would like, but sometimes that is not possible.

As for the freerolls, like I explained before, a skilled players should be able to pass by the league with profit without having to risk much, or probably anything. The winnings from the freerolls should pay the buy ins for the other tournaments, and the winnings from the other tournaments should pay their own buy in and the buy in of the main event. We will not have just freerolls, that is not the idea.

I would surely be up for such tournament,it is actually a nice idea this will not only entertain us but also will bring us new opportunities to learn and share our experiences with one another.There should be some terms and conditions to join this tournament in my opinion.It would be amazing getting some sponsor for such tournament.

I do believe that should be acceptable in poker because many things must be analyzed when it comes to poker, like collusion detection etc
The sponsor is not yet decided, but that should be a common thing among all of them I guess, when it comes to poker at least.
I'm totally used to that in fiat poker rooms, and I don't expect it to be different in BTC poker, because of the same reasons. Anyway that of course will not be up to me, as I will only manage the competition, the rest will be up to the sponsor.

Yes I like poker and would definitely get involved and help out if I can.

If so what would you like it to have?

Because of the following question I believe that is meant to say where' so Betcoin.ag or SWC would be a good place to have it and by the looks of this interest they should snap it up and even sponsor a game or two.


Let me know what you think about this. What would you like to see in a Poker League?
Maybe one tournament a day allowed to enter for two different timezones. A small percentage from each game goes towards the end of month prizes you spoke about.

We will not have just freerolls, that is not the idea.

I totally understand, everyone have their preferences, I for one prefer the browser based since I don't like to install unknown softwares on my PC and if you have played with Maven's Poker browser based software, it doesn't lags and works flawlessly and it is the one I prefer which is why I avoid sites which have different softwares.

All the best to you, I hope you can make this thing a success past the freeroll stage.

of course i would be interested to join it but i dont know if i would be able to participate in them if it would be held on night time in my time zone, also it depends on what amounts of money i should put into it as im not willing to loose more money than i can afford to loose

Most popular timezone for poker is around 7:30 - 8pm GMT however this mean its afternoon for USA.  Its better doing it that way than doing it :8pm for USA and midnight for europe though.

Yes you are correct. Ideally we would have a tournament 2 times a day (3 days a week), so we could reach both timezones at the best hour, but if not possible it should be like you said.
