FTR 6MAX all star game ballot

if you could vote for 6 FTR players to play in a 6MAX match, who would you pick? and just for fun let's assume that the stakes are either $1/2 or $2/4nl. your nominations may or may not matter, but if i were you i would err on the side of nominating players you would actually like to see play against each other

i'm not saying, i'm just saying.

lukie, Fnord and 4 others. the 4 really dont matter. Just like to see the explosions lukie and Fnord make..... acutally in light of recent events adding rippy to a Fnord table would be fun.

Fnord, Gabe, Me, Aces, Bmx hmmm...


bte I don't put myself in the same category as those players. I'd want to play though.

all that irish nominated and Lukie.

maybe iwind also. doesnt he play $5/10?

Gabe, Iwind, Irish, Lukie, Bmixicle, and either Fnord or JohnnyFish.

I pwned iwind at 0.02/0.04 limit. Hes overrated

I can't decide my last choice between Lukie, Johnny, alias, and one or two others.

You want to have a thread in Holdem Strats were we do a First team all FTR, 2nd and 3rd? I think that would be fun.

Would you divide up the players? By stakes? By experience? By site?

Adding myself to ballot, ilikeaces and bmx are total nits

ieyes, gabe, triptanes, fnord, courtiebee, and damn, lukie

Harry

No love? Pfft. Does anybody really want Irish and his 10/2 stats on the table? <3

i swap lukie for eye ul figh va

ty irish but i am not eligible.

ty all for quick responses, lets have your final submissions in by, how about monday?

oh and this isn't necessarily the a team list, not what i was going for. just wanted to checkin with everyone to see which players they would like to see play at the same table. you know, just in case they ended up at the same table sometime...

i vote for g1u

SmackinYaUp

if for some reason i get selected, we should get a couple of these tables going at the same time

SANDSTORM TOO

oh, cocobill also

and def sandstorm.

Ohh I like this idea. Also, everyone has to record it
I think a game with Gabe, Ilikeaces, Bmx, Smacking, Cocco_Bill and Iwind would be fun. I would still want Irish, alias, Fnord, Lukie, aisle etc in there too. Lets make two games

gabe, cocco, Fnord, ilikeaces

4-handed lagfest yey!

You all suck. I'm good at 6-max

i forgot about you Rondavu, you would def be fun to watch.

1st-Team All SH(seems to be general consesus) - Gabe, Iwind, Bmx, Ilikeaces, cocco_bill, ??? (Jfish, Lukie, Sstorn, Irish, Fnord)

2nd-Team All SH- ???

3rd-Team All SH- ???

This has become, list all the posters who play 200NL+

2nd-Team - everyone at 50NL/100NL

3rd-Team - The rest of the SnG forum who's still @ 25NL

Aces, Bmx, Gabe, Lukie, Fnord, Me, Sandstorm, Cocco, alias, johnny_fish, Iwind, Rondavu.

I'll play this game no problem if it gets going by the way. It'd be sick -EV but whatever. I'd love to play it.

Agreed. + I don't mind donating to FTR'ers.

actually add DaNutz and drmcboy in there too probably.

yeah, toss the tourney donk in there, +EV for all

Gabe, Fnord, ILikeAces, Coco, Lukie, and.... dum du du dahhhhh back from the dead... Michael1123! You guys forgot about him but he's still technically a member.

Yo I was gonna nominate you but then I remembered that you have no bankroll.

when I play it's 6 max, but the last 6 months it's just once a week or so after I watch High Stakes Poker and I get to jonsesing to play some ring. Then I remember that I don't have fun when I play cash. I see the value because people play bad, I wish I liked it more.

I was also playing to try and clear my bonus at FT last month, but it looks like I can do that playing their 100+ tourneys (which have a better strucutre that stars) instead.

Or Coco. Geesh, I'm only a 15% PFR...

My FTR Shark Tank:
Coco
Gabe
ILikeAces
Lukie
aislephive
DSaxton

also, i think it would be interesting to do this on a site where we dont know eachother's screennames. im not sure if thats possible though.

I'll take aislephive on my team...

http://www.cardrunners.com/fusetalk/...cfm?forumid=17

I think we are looking more like a Varsity, JV and a Freshman team.

I read some 2p2 thread a while back and someone mentioned that ilikeaces is a total nit.

I'm sure he laughed when he made his regular cash-out.

Hahaha, yeah September sucked. :P

And irisheyes, ouch.

i believe i can prevent the usernames from showing up during the video recording so that shouldn't be a concern. however, the chosen participants would all have to know the screen names of each other, obviously. but i think we can do a little bit of masking of sensitive information, if that is a concern. but i won't be playing in the game, so it'll just be your standard observer view, which won't show hole cards etc.

ok i can give more details now, after having PMed w/ Xianti. i'm excited that there has been such a fast response to this topic, i think it demonstrates the level of general interest in getting something like this together. basically we're trying to setup a 6MAX match, played by the players that FTR community members nominate, on the site that is most convenient for the nominated players. i will videorecord the session in 30 minute intervals (suggested by Xianti) and then Xianti will make them available for streaming from the video portion of the site. i'll record for as long as the players want to play, so there might be a few files to stream to see the entire session. this is the first attempt at doing this so some stuff will work and we'll learn as we go along. not sure about downloadable formats yet but we'll check into that.

some questions, please give feedback:

1. i am unsure about publicizing the date and time of the match, to avoid the whole username exposure issue that gabe voiced. also, the point of recording it is so that you don't have to rail these players, you can watch at your leisure.

2. i am leaning more towards having the nominated players tell me where they'd like to play and for what stakes, as opposed to saying what they should be from the start. perhaps we could get some of the higher stakes names like aces and bmx and other to play, but perhaps they would not be interested in only $1/2 or whatever. so i'll try to help that group reach consensus. but since this is going to be a fun thing, maybe the players would be willing to play for the lowest common denomination, whatever that turns out to be. or bankroll grudgematch, whatever.

3. sound: i'm no gabe kaplan and am doubtful that any of you would be interested in MY analysis of what the players are doing. accordingly, it would probably just be game and system sounds. i can envision using TS or Vent or something like that, which I think I could record and add that audio layer to the production of the video. but if none of the players that get nominated use those services that will be hard to do, too. so i'm open to ideas on that.

let me know if there are other things you can think of that i should keep in mind when trying to organize this mess. i think it could really turn out to be pretty cool.

How about 12 so it will be fair to Lukie?

pingviini?

It would be fun to play if the game happens at a suitable time.

other issues to comment on:

i suggested 6MAX for this first go around because i thought it would be easier to schedule 6 players and an alternate or two as opposed to 10+2 on full ring. if things go well then perhaps next time we could look at full ring.

also as far as multi tables go: anyone who has seen the cardrunners 4 table or 2 table vidz know that a lot of detail is lost with multitable recording. i think i would probably prefer to try it as single table on the first go around, and then try other stuff on subsequent attempts.

i don't think its possible to 'reserve' a cash game table so it might take a few minutes to actually take over a table until its all FTR members. even if we're really coordinated and try to have everyone join table X at the same time, a random fish or two might sneak in the queue ahead of everyone. of course if that happens we can always ask them to leave. and if they don't comply, well it shouldn't take this group long to eat that poor sucker alive lol.

everybody forgot ripjohngotti

lol. cocco_bill's suggestion of Pingviini is another goot one though

Full ring would be lame.

iwind and ping both are good but neither posts much

Phffft...not with these players at the table.

It's possible to make private cash tables on lots of sites.

fnord, rondavu, gabe, lukie, ug, renton.

Should mix nicely.

maybe xianti can help toss the weight of FTR around and get us hooked up on one of these mythical private tables...

this would be awesome to watch, thanks for setting this up alias

and the rich get richer! lol

I'll play.

Depends on stakes, though.



Just put a ridiculous down-payment on a house. Bye bye most of my BR.

I know obv this won't work but you can create private cash tables on Party

Cocco_bill would be the control, the perfect player against whom all the others could measure their skill.

it would be easy to take over a stars table, they always have a few empty ones

Definitely put me on that 3rd team (but I'd love to play!)

Who is willing to play at 1/2 nl or 2/4 nl 6max? I don't think everyone knows who plays those levels and higher 6max.

If anybody is serious about this then they should make a SHNL Roll Call thread sometime to figure that out. Ask the simple question, "What stakes of SHNL do you play?"

People can also post what site they play at and screen name they use if they choose to.

Every day or two the original poster can edit his first post, making a list of everyone's stakes/sites/screen names. That way people wouldn't have to scroll through the whole thing to figure out what level everyone is playing at.

this first attempt at offering to record sessions of FTR member-only tables was more or less to guage interest. if this goes well, i am willing to start doing it more often. so please don't think it's a purposeful attempt to exclude anyone.

ok it's monday night, and here are the names that have been nominated at least once (some by themselves, gg):

lukie
Fnord
Gabe
Irisheyes
ilikeaces86
bmxicle
iwind
johnnyfish
triptan3s
courtiebee
harry
smackinyaup
sandstorm
cocobill
aislephive
rondavu
danutz
drmcboy
michael1123
Dsaxton
pingviini
ultimategeorge
renton

i'll contact these members individually to see if they're interested or not (some have already replied). obviously not all of them will be able to play a 6MAX game at the same time, but if it goes well, we could invite those who cannot play to another round of recording. then we'll setup a date and time and invite 8 of them (6 and 2 alternates) to play for awhile while i record. more details to come, thanks to all of you who have nominated people.

I suppose I'm down for this, but it really depends on the site and stakes and stuff. I don't have money on Stars, I've got some on FTP though and a little on UB. I'd prefer to play like 100nl or something too.

I'd love to play this. I'll play anything up to and including 600NL.

Who the f nominated me? I'd be easy money though, can't say I blame them. Whatever the case, you don't have to PM me. Sooo -EV

Thats a huge clusterfuck of players from all stakes, abilities etc. Are we doing this by level or just by popular posters [this isnt meant as an attack on anybody either, Im just unsure of the direction this is taking]?

Regardless, I nominate Genitruc for this.

This could be fun. I don't play no limit holdem much anymore, but I'd enjoy playing against some FTR regulars.

I'll play 400nl on down

i think it will come down to choosing a site that enough of these players use, and then letting that group choose its own stakes once its formed. for simplicity i think the group should decide these things and then i'll help moderate those discussions.

Any news on this?

Yeah we played and I now have everyone's BR.



P.S. Actually I have no idea but would like to see this happen.
