Guys, I was thinking today..
What if got as many people as we could to enter the same MTT? No collusion, just good poker. I'd like to see how many we could put "ITM".
Nothing big, maybe a $10 NL on stars or something.

I'm game, though I'll now have to set up my poker stars account. I just never got around to it for the gauntlet cuz im lazi!

That would be a cool idea. I hate Stars and I have pulled all of my money out of there but maybe if enough people wanted to try this I might make the minimum deposit bakc in there for just such an occasion.
I really hate that poker room. Everyone there is sooooooooooooo boring I wanna fall asleep between hands.
That'll just give you more time to go avatar hunting.
wowee! :shock:

it doesn't HAVE to be on stars.. most of us have party poker accounts we could do it there too..
Ha! I think I'm gonna stick with this one for a while. It mesmorizes me! :shock:Quote:

Sounds like fun. I would be up for it as well. I am off PP for a while, but if everyone decides that they want to play there I'll deposit a little money to play along. I actually really like Stars....but to each thier own.
Another option may be Poker Room. They seem to have $5+1 and $10+1 MTTs starting every 30 - 45 minutes. Granted there are usually only 100-200 people playing in them, but that would increase the chances of FTR members playing at the same tables. Just an idea....I will play anywhere and I can play most any night from 7-11pm with a couple days notice - just let me know.
weekends suck for me w/ gf and soccer referring.
PP or PS is good for me either client.
I would say any weeknight but Wed and Fri. night.
plus that would be fun all of us playing in a mtt w/ irc open talking crap to each other har har har :twisted:
I'd do that. I'd prefer to play on PS. My schedule is such a mess that I can't give any nights that would be consistently good for me, though.
Me thinks that we should start a poll if we are gonna do this, PP or PS.
do a poll for PP versus PS, and for which day of the week is best. Then we'll sift the data.
Should we also poll for the buy-in, or is everyone pretty much agreed on around $10?
I vote for 1 and 2 dollar buyins.
i'd be up for either site, up to $10.
I'd be willing to give it a shot if the time was right. I am working some crazy hours now.
Any site or buy in is fine.
boo go to prima network then and get raked rapedQuote:

Sounds like time for a compromise. That's right, you guessed it:
$5

Well, i suggest $100 just to throw you off.
:P -'rilla
I'm up for it. I'd prefer Party over Stars.
Is someone going to start a poll or are we voting here?
If we are voting here I vote for: Poker Stars $10+1 or $20+2
I already see quite a few of us in the daily Stars $10+1 - 7:45pm Eastern Tournament. I am in that one at least 2 days a week, Radashck is usually in it...as is DaNutsInYourEye.
I suppose we will have to decide on the tourney and all meet in the chat room to talk - in a 1000 person tourney it will be unlikely that we wil see each other...until the second hour anyway.
I liked the idea of having an MTT where at least 20 FTR users participate, just to see how we all do, I rather play on stars than party because my party software doesnt seem to work (the tourney lobby doesnt load), any day of the week is good for me, and I agree with Lefou the 5+1 tourney would be the most appropiate one. Even though I have no money Ill get it somehow...

count me in too.. would be fun to hang out in the IRC channel during it also.
I'd be in. And if there is a vote, I'd vote Stars. And 10+1 seems like a good idea. As long as it isn't an R&A (Ohhh I hate R&As)*
Do we need to start a poll?
*I need to have a hot key ready so I can just hit Alt+R+A and "Ohhh, I hate R&As comes out for me.
I'd play if its on Stars. And I strongly recommend a $10 or $20 tourney, as the level of play really goes down based on entry level. A $10 MTT compared to a $30 MTT is extremely fishy, so I can only imagine what a $1 tourney would be like. Basically a complete crap shoot I'm sure.
Put a bunch of FTR-ers at a low limit/buy-in table, and "crapshoot" doesn't even begin to describe it. ;)Quote:

Stars $10+1 or $20+2... it's settled. I look forward to playing with yall.
This would be fun. It would be tough to find a time that will work for everyone though.
This evening (Sunday 11/14) at 6:45 ET. $10+1 NL Hold'em on Poker Stars. Tournament 3310517. See you there.
There is a $3+0 MTT on Stars at 7:00 ET. This would accomodate more people if the buy-in is an issue.
Actually 8:00, looks like?Quote:

Was not enough notice fom me either....I completely missed the post.
That is the beauty of this...we don't all have to be there for every game - we can just pick 2-3 daily touneys and call them the FTR MTTs. We could just say it is understood that the Stars 7:45pm $10+1 is one of them. We just need to pick 1 or two more so that there is a time when everyone can participate. We should meet in the IRC and "check-in" so that everyone knows who is in which tournament - we can the support each other (and trash talk) throughout the tourney.Quote:

Lets just pick a couple daily tourneys...they don't have to all be on the same site even....vote on them and then ask Fishstick to to post a "sticky" announcing which daily MTTs are the "FTR MTTs" The we can take them by storm.
Anyway, I nominate the $10+1 Poker Stars 7:45pm Eastern - daily tournament as one on the FTR MTTs
If someone else can nominate a different tourney $5-$20, at a different site even - we can get this ball rolling.
Now this idea i totally agree on. We just need to make some kind of post to inform everyone, a sticky or something like that.....Quote:

8/44 right now on the $10+1.... final table or bust. If anyone is on, come stroke my ego!
5 out of 38
If you do a daily, might the FTR guys get spread out too thin (i.e. 2 on Mon, 2 on Tue, 3 on Wed). What about picking preferred days? -- I nominate Tue & Thu since Wed is gauntlet night.Quote:

NAME THE TIME
I think your 4 years late panther.
you just bumped a 4 year old thread... but i would be down to do something like this PS plz.
How bout we do a 180 person 4.40 on stars?
ha that would be awesome. if we could get like 20 people somehow (but doubtful) i wonder how many of us would final tableQuote:

Why? Cuz I said so... of course nobody has to do this... but we can give it a shot for anyone who is interested. Meet in #flopturnriver too!
yeah we should definitely do something like a $4 180 and I'd like to do some last longer props
IDK if anyone else is game.. but I'll be doing this tonight. See you in IRC.Quote:
