Hi guys,

Per this post, this Wednesday we will have a real money tournament. Hopefully we can continue to have these weekly.

The details of this weeks tournament are $10+$1 buy-in ($11 total), Limit Hold-Em. With 3-27 players the prize distribution is 1st place 50%, 2nd place 30% and 3rd place 20% of the total entrant fees ($10 x # of entrants). There are no re-buys and no add-ons.

There will be a 5 minute break after each hour of play, and the Tournament will start at 9:05 PM Eastern on Wednesday on www.pokerstars.com

We must have a minimum of 3 players (already have 4 signed up), and there is no maximum. So if you want to play, feel free!

If anyone needs help getting real money into Poker Stars, and won't yell at me when they lose it all, and has a method of making online money transfers (IE. Paypal), then PM me for help.

-John

Yup, PM unsuited.

If too many people have problems with either day or time, it can be moved next week.

Well, I just signed up. I'm probably in over my head with this crowd but what the heck it should be fun.

I transferred enough to do 5 of these tourneys at the $10 + $1 level.

I was the 7th to join so the prize pool is up to $70

Excellent turnout so far...

I'd vote for it to be either an hour later or earlier next time, probably earlier to help our east coast friends.

Later wouldn't help much..

Being limit, if we get lots of people, I might end up bailing early if this goes past midnight eastern, since that's past my bedtime

Dead Money walking, here.

Stupid question ...
I'd be risking a maximum of $11 under this format?

Yuppers, Marco. Come play! Last I looked we were up to 9 people, so the prize pool is now at $90.

Can you expand on where this table is at?

Pokerstars. Under tourneys? Sit & Gos? Where?

www.pokerstars.com under the "tourney" tab, "private" tab, and look for "Wednesday Hump Day Poker Game (TCF)."

EDIT: When I say www.pokerstars.com I mean you download and run the client software from there, and then within the client software you go to the Private Tourney area.

I don't recall seeing a PRIVATE tab. But I will check tonight.

If I need someone to front me $11 bucks (I can paypal them)
who is offering to do so?

I don't have money online right now and it will take a few days to get my account funded again.

If you haven't been to pokerstars lately, they have tabs under the types of games now, like for Ring games, they have Limit/No Limit/Play Money, and for Tourney's they have, a bunch of tabs with the far right one being private.

I think private is a new tab that was added the last month or so.

That's a good question. There is a private table tourney, that I am not registered for, starting in 51 minutes. I will see if I can observe the table and report back here.

The answer appears to be yes. You can "observe" a private table tournament, so anyone that would like to watch, can!
