FTR HU TOURNEY (***OLD THREAD***)

[bigspenda73]

Anyone interested?

We'd have to agree on the stakes so we could include everyone but I think it would be fun. We'd just setup a private HU tourney on Stars and gogogogogogogogogogo.

Oh yea, I don't come to lose.

[bode]

id play if it was low stakes ($10-$20)

[bigspenda73]

id play if it was low stakes ($10-$20)

Yea, I was thinking $20

I really like 2+2's format. They made it a double rebuy with no blind escalations meaning you start 300bb deep. The matches take much longer but it is certainly less of a crapshoot.

[bode]

so does it cost $60 then? or do you just start that deep for $20 or whatevs.

[bigspenda73]

What we would do is make that tourney a $.01 buying with $.01 rebuys. Right off the bat you rebuy twice to make your stack go from 1000 to 3000 and the blinds stay at 5/10 the entire time.

We'd just escrow the entries with a trusted member

[bode]

coulnt we just do a $5 rebuy so it ends up being $15.50?

[bigspenda73]

coulnt we just do a $5 rebuy so it ends up being $15.50?

no, cuz there will be multiple rounds dude

If we start with 16 players, there will be 4 rounds, you just made it a $60 entry if you get to the finals.

[Zee Devee]

i would like to do it, but I am a microstake player. I want to play for experience, but I know I will most likely loose.

I like the .01 buy in and .01 rebuy, but that is because I am poor and cant afford a $15 game.

{acronym renton hates}, my bad.

[sauce123]

id play if ppl reminded me when it wsa cause im a space cadet

[Setzy]

Sounds good, put me down.

[bigspenda73]

How about this Sunday?

Non-baller post of the day: I cannot create private tourneys on Stars, will need someone's help with that.

[Numbr2intheWorld]

I'll do it!

[EzDuzIt]

i would probably do this

[bjsaust]

You can make private HU tourneys?

I'd do it, but Sundays dont suit me (as thats Monday morning, and I leave for work early). The smaller buyin the better .

[Setzy]

Sunday is my birthday, would be a no-go for me. Any other day before that, or after Tuesday is good.

[bode]

im no good on sunday either.

[bjsaust]

How about in 1 week exactly (or within a few hrs either side)?

I wfh todays .

[zook]

I'm in. Next weekend (8th or 9th) is much better than this weekend.

[Alexos]

im in as well...

[givememyleg]

why not just have it a mtt hu freezeout? the blinds aren't even really that bad. we don't have to be 300 bbs deep the whole time, do we?

that being said, im in and i hope i draw spenda in the first round

[Alexos]

yeah mtt hu would be simpler..

the 2+2 tourney is high stakes 5k buyin, and it takes like 2 weeks to complete each round.

if we're only 16 or so might as well do a HU MTT as long as the blinds arent horrible...and its a looooot less complicated to organized IMO

[Zee Devee]

It depends the day, because I move back into school on Saturday, so I won't be playing poker for a while until I get settled and the parties calm down.

[lolzzz_321]

make bracket and people can decide when they play, obv give them like a week to do it not a month

[bode]

make bracket and people can decide when they play, obv give them like a week to do it not a month

good idea. a HU mtt wouldnt be good because it could take forever to complete, and a constant blind will make for better play overall.

[EzDuzIt]

yeah i like triptanes suggestion

[bigspenda73]

OMG THAT WAS MY IDEA!!!

HMMMPFH

Yea, bracket style certainly works, here's what we need.

1. Someone to hold the entries on Stars
--Trusted member obv
2. Sign-up Sheet
3. Brackets thereafter
4. Rules/Regs
-Must play by this date, best of 3 matches, etc...

Here's the 2+2 High Stakes Thread of how they did it, thinking it would be cool to do it this way: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...page=0&fpart=1

[bigspenda73]

As of now this is who I've seen say "in" or be interested. Also, "shit-talking" is flat-out mandatory. Forum-members who remain cordial throughout the entire process with we subject to ridicule and temp-bans. Well, at least ridicule. Well, actually, nothing at all, but come on ppl...LET"S GET IT ON!

1. Bode- I'll sign this shit for your younger brother
2. Zee Devee- Pack attack
3. Sauce- Guide's won't save you in this one
4. Setzy- Cannot 12 tbl this shit
5. Massimo- twin-killing
6. EzDuzit- Ez as your Mom
7. Bjaust - little kid with a dream
8. Zook- Winless like Anna
9. Alexos- ShipitHolla Lolla
10. GMML- I'll get Hartlin to coach you, you'll be fine
11. Bigspenda73- ball-game
12. Jack Sawyer- BR degen
13. Renton- Marathon man at poker, minute man with the ladies
14. ISF- 30-3 will not be your HU record
15. Ravageur- I don't even know you, but I hate 'yo guts
16. Genitruc- Finding more and more ways to play less hands a day

OK, we need at least 0 more and I'm sure there will be some dropouts so we could definitely use an alternates list. Let's gogogogogogogogogogo.

[EzDuzIt]

lol

ok so there would be like a entry fee for the whole thing (how much?).
and then if we did it this way how much would the actual buyins be for the matches?

[bigspenda73]

entry $20
each match would be a $.01 rebuy tourney with 2 rebuys

[Zee Devee]

If I get my roll to 300 by the time this whole thing starts I will probably do it.

My roll right now it 177.

[bjsaust]

My whole life has been a journey culminating in this tournament.

BjsAust v's bigspenda73 first up!

Lets see if you can LolTrappMe!

[Jack Sawyer]

Ok, so lemme get this straight:

the buyin is $20.
the actual buyin for the tourney is .01/.02
blinds are same throughout
bracketed, like a playoff
prizes? bragging rights?
does winner get a nice graphic: FTR HU CHAMP 07 under winners avatar (like the FTR gauntlett guys)?

I'm such a fish @ HU.


however, if winner gets a nice graphic: FTR HU CHAMP 07 under winners avatar (like the FTR gauntlett guys), then I'm in.

[bigspenda73]

I won't promise anything (well, cuz I can't) but I think the winner should get a Title under his/her name.

Once and for all this is how the buyin system works.

1. We get a list of 16 players or 32 or whatevs to balance a bracket
2. Those 16 players all transfer the entry fee ($20) to one player on Stars
3. We draw brackets
4. There will be private individual HU tourneys set up on PS, password protected.
5. These tournaments will have an entry fee of $.01 with the option to rebuy for $.01.
6. Starting stacks will be 1k with rebuys of 1k and blinds a stagnant 5/10
7a. Each player will immediately rebuy twice upon sitting down bringing their stack to 3k chips and leaving us 300bb deep (omg postflop poker)
-OR-
7b. Each match will be 3 seperate HU matches with 100bb stacks and no blind movement as well. First to two wins, wins.
-OR- (and my personal favorite)
7c. Each match will be 3 seperate HU matches with 300bb stacks and no blind movement as well. First to two wins, wins.
***7c will take the longest but will provide the best champion.
8. If the tournament is 16 players the payout structure will be:
1. 50% of prize pool ($160)
2. 25% of prize pool ($80)
3,4- 12.5% of prize pool ($40,$40)

9. Gogogogogogogogogo

[Jack Sawyer]

7c sounds good.


Jack's in. (OMG you guys will eat me, but oh well, I'm never scared)


We need to get Mr. X in on the title thing. I could whip one up, but it wouldn't be official

[bigspenda73]

added

[Renton]

me

[Numbr2intheWorld]

Just because two players are playing 300 deep doesn't mean the "best player" will win. Playing deep, like playing shortstacked, just requires a little different skill sets. That being said, I personally would like it to be 100-150BB deep.

[bode]

im in.

maybe just 200bb deep is sufficient? otherwise, gogogo

[IowaSkinsFan]

Yeah lets play 100bb deep, Mass is completely correct.

[bigspenda73]

ISF and Renton in

[Jack Sawyer]

Actually, 7b is better than 7c.

Maybe best of 5? Best of 7 for later rounds?
Lets make this like an NBA playoff, a real playoff

[bjsaust]

I'd like to finish sometime .

Best of 3 is fine. 100BB seems fine, but thats because I'm used to tournies so its what I'm used to. Is 200-300xBB really realistic? How often do any of us find ourselves playing that normally (effective HU)?

[Zee Devee]

yea, when you play cash 200-300BB deep do you really go until one of you is busto?

[Ravageur]

Myself and poster Genitruc (who has been in Peru for past two months but returns next week) would be down if this happens.

[Jack Sawyer]

Ok ok, how about best of 3 early, best of 5 for semi's/finals.
?

[Numbr2intheWorld]

High post.

Everyone will lose to me, it won't be close.

That's all.

[bigspenda73]

Ok ok, how about best of 3 early, best of 5 for semi's/finals.
?

Best of 3 is plenty in all rounds.

BTW, should we be forcing multi-tabling?

[Jack Sawyer]

High post.

Everyone will lose to me, it won't be close.

That's all.

I hope you will enjoy losing to the HU n00b called Jack.

[Numbr2intheWorld]

Yes i will enjoy losing. I'll laugh at how lucky you got, cause that's the only way you're beating me.

[Setzy]

Whoever draws me is quitting poker forever after our match.

[givememyleg]

my hu strategy is built around getting lucky

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

spenda get this organized

[bigspenda73]

1. Bode- I'll sign this shit for your younger brother

OK, we don't need any more but I'm sure there will be some dropouts so we could definitely use an alternates list. Let's gogogogogogogogogogo.

This is the final list for now, we just need to settle on a date.

[givememyleg]

on a side note i went 8-0 against hart last night and put him on life tilt at huplo8 .. wheeeeeeeeee

[bjsaust]

Hmm, I'm basically unavailable from:

Sunday lunchtime - Monday midnight.

Wed lunchtime - Thurs midnight.


I shouldnt drink wine while playing HU, I lose money .

[phantom_lord]

i really should visit this place more

can i go on the alternates list plz?

[bigspenda73]

yes

[Pythonic]

spenda,

Add me in dude

[bigspenda73]

you're 2nd alternate

[sauce123]

im so down if this gets organized/bracketed and shit

[bigspenda73]

IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME

This will happen in September, just lemme get this shit organized. Be patient.

[sauce123]

patient as ur slow inexorable death in the first round...

[bigspenda73]

lol, bring it bub, I aint nervous.

Try 3betting my ass one time and you'll be getting 85 extra BB's shoved up yo ass. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Renton]

i suggest deep stack and 20+ dollars

[IowaSkinsFan]

i suggest deep stack and 20+ dollars

Earlier max mentioned 100bb deep would be better because deep is just a different game and none of us play deep a lot. I agree. Tell me what you think?

Oh and spenda are we doing seeding?

[Alexos]

Im not sure we could seed 16people since we havnt played with the majority, especially HU.

thx for organizin this Spenda, holla if u need any help

[Renton]

if you only play 100bb deep the match won't be long enough, and after the first decent pot is won it becomes 2:1 chips

it will be random, but seeding yes

[UG]

I'm interested in this.

[Numbr2intheWorld]

if you only play 100bb deep the match won't be long enough, and after the first decent pot is won it becomes 2:1 chips

ok, but what if it's best two out of 3?

[bigspenda73]

ok, but what if it's best two out of 3?

exactly, if we do only 100bb deep we'll need to make the matches best 2 out of 3. If we go 300bb deep we could probably just play one match, although, a cooler's a cooler, even 300bb deep....

[UG]

2 of 3 is better, b/c a cooler is a cooler like you said

[bode]

2/3, 200 bbs deep?

[bigspenda73]

2/3, 200 bbs deep?

ding ding ding, we have a winner?

[bjsaust]

Yes.

When?
