    Default Mini Gauntlet

    Hey everyone,

    Would anyone be interested in a mini Gauntlet next month? We can use home games again so Americans can play, just between forum regulars and we'll get some side bets going?

    If you're interested please post in this thread and also say what days would be best for you, and if there's a few interested we'll get something set up

    I might play a couple if they are short handed. 100% not playing any full ring games.

    I'm thinking 4 tournaments, all 6max (pretty much everyone seems to like that) - starting 2nd week of April. Every Sunday around 3pm ET (8pm GMT)?

    I applied to the home game thing on stars, will it get accepted or do I have to do anything?
  12. #12
    I'll accept you next time I log in

    I lost my decoder ring. Are you talking about private play-money tables on PS?

    Details, please.

    Are these all 6-max freezeout events?

    I'm interested, but I don't know anything about the home games on PS.

    I've just pulled up my old play money account on PS, and it's still there. So MadMojoMonky (12 character limit on PS) is the screen name to look out for.

    Gonna play some Badugi while I've got it open.

    The Home Games are basically a lobby which we can control - so we can control who is allowed in, create tournaments and ring game tables, etc.

    I love badugi! Haven't played that shit in ages. Micros at stars is printing money, so many people just play any four and draw to hell. So easy. I might play some badugi now actually.

    Since when was $0.25/$0.50 the smallest stakes for badugi on stars?

    I only get to use play money on stars (American freedom, eh?), so I don't know about the real money side of it.

    I do love the fact that they now take rake on the play money tables, though.
  22. #22
    Well I just won $5 first hand, the muppet maxed it on last street with A234 two clubs, can't figure out if he knw he was bluffing or not. I had A247 badugi and was never folding!

    Will launch this officially next week but it'll be 5 tournaments in total - the Tournament of Champions from last season, open to anyone who has finished in the Top 10 of any season, followed by 4 weekly tournaments. All will be 6max, all will use the same structure as we used for the Gauntlet last season. 3 will be NL Hold'em and I'm thinking 1 Omaha tournament to mix it up and have some fun.

    Will run a small side bet for anyone interested
  26. #26
    Will play if I got the time. Omaha sounds fun.

    Saturdays are drunk days. Sundays are hangover days. I usually play poker on hangover days but might be better at it on drunk days so, sure. Either one really.

    Actually Saturdays are recovering from hangover by getting drunk days so maybe that's best.

    I'm thinking we'll have something informal on Saturdays - sounds like Supa could provide the entertainment. Maybe a cash game table in the Home Game group and a SNG or two?

    I love this idea, as I'm primarily a cash game player.

    If it's for the lolz, can we play a mixed game?
  31. #31
    Sure, why not. I've got the ability to set up tables so we can set up a few. Surprised we haven't before. Just waiting to hear back re a couple of prizes for the ToC then this will be sorted
