Brackets:

The matches are ordered by letter. When each match is complete, post here the match letter and the winner. I will keep this updated as well as I can. The matches will start as soon as possible. Discussion of when matches are going to go on can be made here: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=28604
If matches are delayed too long I will make the discretion of who goes on and who forfeits.
Each game is a Poker Stars HU LHE $10+1 SNG .
The most you can LOSE is $22 in this tournament, but you can win much more. There will also be a sidepot that the winner will get, I would like that to be $10 per person to be paid to the last two players of the tournament, first place will get 75% ($135) and 2nd place will get 25% ($45) on top of the other tournament fees you may win. Everyone should send me their sidepot money on Poker Stars. My screenname is CodeRedRulez and I live in Aurora. I will also be the one dispersing the money.
Xianti may decide to give FTR gear to the winner, but I have yet to hear from him.
As you can see, there is potential to win a lot of money in this tournament for little risk. The idea of this tournament is to increase our HU skill and reading ability as well as have a little fun. Any other questions can be brought to my attention.

Jeff,
I (and maybe others) don't play on Stars regularly and I am at work and can't log in right now to figure it out, but can you post step by step how we: (1) set up the HU Match and (2) Pay you the $10?
Edit: Thanks for the info below...

To set up a HU Match:
Login to Stars, click on the "Sit & Go" Tab. Then, go to the subtab of "Heads Up" and $10.50 level and 2 players. If there are zero people registered both should register before someone else sits down to play. If you end up playing against an unknown opponent, its your own fault.
To transfer me money, go to the "Requests" field and select "transfer funds." Type in $10 and my player ID of CodeRedRulez. You know you have it right when it will ask you to confirm and Aurora will be in parenthesis.
Furthermore, I will keep a list of everyone who has paid me, so if your stars screenname is different than the FTR one and I dont know it, PM me your stars name to make sure I get it.

Problem. I have no money online, all my money is BnM. I'll scramble on Monday to figgure something out.
*please don't suggest that "it's as easy as using a credit card" I've intentionally avoided them.
We'll figure something out, even if we have to play for free, and I transfer what I owe you later. =)
Tuesday it is. Where are you at, so I can calculate what time I have to be ready to play?

The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

Play money isn't an option, as he is going to have to put money online eventually. If he can't play then his position will be forfeited and Mike_Ann will move on. You guys have until Friday 11:59 PM EST to start your match or Mike_Ann will go on by default.

Noted.
Looks like ragnar forfeited so Mike_ann you'll play me and the person who would have played ragnar in the loser's bracket gets a bye.

Match C: I win. Get ready Koolmoe!!! We should wait until we hear from outphase/muxy/chadrian/aleksandr until round 2 will be in it.
Muxy forfeits. If outphase does not respond to the PM i sent him then they both will lose.

It's over
The biggest upset in FTR is not going to happen
Jeff just beat me up badly.
After 139 hands play Jeff WOn
ty Jeff for the game. You're too good for me, but I do learn couples of things from you.
I did fight my way back so hard but can't make it.
Jeff Win

It was a good match, you were too passive though throughout the entire match.

I might have to do the unthinkable in my game against Nehmer. Something's gone wrong with my home computer, and I can't access stars or the internet at all.
If I can't get this fixed in the next couple of days then I'll forfeit.

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

Last I heard I was going to be the forfeit king. Dsax said he had no money at stars so was forfeiting. Let me double check tho.
