how about a 25$ prize pool and a 5$ bounty on everyones head

I would not be opposed to this if there is a consensus. However I am unsure how easy this would be to set up with Carbon.

kinda fits with the killing others off theme of werewolf .....oh and huber ...as game mod you should also get to play in it as well, i don't care if FTR admins say that you are staff and shouldn't get to profit , you are a vital part of the game and as such you should get the chance to play in the freeroll.

I like keith's idea but it will only work if we know everyone is going to take part.

And yeah I agree doober should play too!

I'm cool with however you guys want to play.

I have shipped an email to see if it is possible to set up a "bounty" style tournament described above. Will update once I get a response.

I'll play in the freeroll if I get to choose someone's FTR avatar for a 24-hour period after I bink it. Perhaps we could make that some sort of prop-bet for whoever wins.

The problem with a bounty format is that either...

a) people not taking part will sit out, blind out, and then for their last hand the value will be skewed because there's a bounty on the bb,

or

b) if we issue tickets, then for every person that doesn't take part, the bounty or prize pool will need to increase, or there will be cash left over.

If we can work something out, then that's great.

Personally prefer standard format but don't mind being over-ruled - will be fun regardless.

I just spew too much in bounties but they're fun. i don't really care. doubtful i'll get to play and if i do win i'll donate it to charity (by charity i mean ur mom).

I don't care when or how we do it. All I know is I'll be stacking some fools

wtf Wuf plays poker?!?!?!

be even better if the wolves are allowed to collude lol

is 3 or 4pm ET on a weekend a good time allowing most people from around the world to be able to play

I find it harder to motivate myself to grind these days. Poker isn't fun anymore, it's like a boring job with shitty pay. I'd probably enjoy it a lot more if I could actually turn over a decent winrate.

It's a little premature to say this but I feel like I will always want to play poker. I'm pretty obsessive about things, and when I find new hobbies I dive right in, but I lose interest eventually...for example I have encyclopedic knowledge of baseball history but over the past 5-10 years my interest has faded to almost zero, being replaced by poker.

Earlier this year I started trading stocks and would spend like 10 hours a day reading articles or studies about the market and during that time, I stopped playing poker totally. It was like poker/stock market occupied a specific part of my brain and I can't handle thinking about both over the same time period.

Ong, I always thought your strat posts displayed good thought process. Don't give up on it. I'm probably twice your age roughly and I feel like I'm still learning. Do you play live poker?

Weekends confirmed best.

Feel the same, even if poker blows sometimes.

Probably good for me, but then again I don't plan that far in advance.

that should work

I have sent an email to our Carbon rep requesting a $100 Freeroll for September 28th at 4:00pm Eastern Time and will update when I hear back.

The password to this event will be sent via Private Message to the players listed in the OP on the day of the event.

No reply yet. I will wait another ~24 hours and send a follow-up email if I haven't heard back by then.

No problem. I'm more than happy to set this up.

FWIW, I think I learned tons more from modding the last match that I did from playing in my first one.

I'm looking forward to the next match modded by baudib.

You and ur mom jokes. That's so juvenile, Wuf. Try to grow a little. (That's what she said, btw)

(ur mom's not in the lobby yet... or something)

No, I was mistaken in Post #31. The tournament will appear in the Carbon Poker lobby 1 week before it is set to begin.

Cool, thanks.

Good deal.

All WW Gold Rush should already have the password to this event (check your PM Inbox). If you need me to re-send it via PM, please let me know.

This event will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4:00pm Eastern Time.

Due to carbon leaving the UK market, I'm unable to play. Have fun guys! And thanks to doober and FTR for setting this up.

Step 1 - invent time machine

Get back to us when you've done that.

Think there's only 3 signed up and the tourney starts in less than an hour.

super noob question..can you show me the way to the table at Carbon Poker...Just signed up with them today and can't find it.

they should allow it for all the members :/

Keybored: Look under tournaments, then private, you'll see a bunch of tournaments listed...it's the one that says FTR werewolf obv.

http://www.carbonpoker.ag/tournaments/

this it?

the carbonpoker.com screen where it says download...click that ... and register etc.

You should be able to play in browser with "instant play".

I'm definitely out, tried again to register but still no option for UK residents.

Nice work...can't believe you went all in with 7,3!!

53hh. it's a baddish play by me but it's an ICM disaster for you to call there with AK when the absent player has 1 BB left.

I reg'd but couldn't play due to last minute thing. How did only 4 players reg? We'll never be doing this again I'm sure

Nice take down, baudib!
