2008 PGL Poker Tour, Tourney #3 Redux 7/24, tonight!!

[Snake1399]

well i'm not having any luck. I've checked out Poker Stars, Absolute Poker and even Yahoo and MSN games to see if they have what we would need and none of them do.....anybody got any other ideas? we could try Supa's idea and just do 2 single tables

[Crankbait]

We could try the old game.......

or 2 separate tables and then finish the tour with a single table of the top 7 or eight players

Full Tilt doesn't offer tournaments?

I think this is our best bet.

We used to play that one all the time. It doesn't have multi-table option. It seemed to work though.

WSOP 2007 may have been a crappy poker game also, but we finished our games and it had cam support.

Full Tilt does offer private tourneys... as do several other poker sites. but they're pay tournaments, not freebies. In other words, everyone would have to make a deposit, then pay a fee to play, like $5 entry +$0.50 to the house. The down side would be paying $0.50 for each tourney. The up side would be that players would actually win the money. Top three or four would finish in the money, I think.

I don't care what we do. It's pretty amazingly lame that no one's come up with a decent poker game.

i'd be game for digging up a copy of this if it works. Whatever we decide, we need to do so by 7/24, thats the date of the next tourney

all i know is this game has some tweaked out problems, and its irritating. Last time i skipped a fat event to play and got knocked out the game after 3 hands. Its almost like playing catan...80% chance of disconnecting.

I say we try another night with the current game and divide the group up evenly into two seperate games with only a single table. If that fails then we can try an alternative.

works for me, but the next obvious question is, how do we divide the rooms? who goes where?

Good question. We can just do it randomly or flip a quarter.

[Causedawg 83]

I have an idea:

Two designated people start rooms (like Supa and Snake), and as soon as someone jumps on, they both send that person an invite. Every time someone signs on who's playing in the tournament, Supa and Snake both send that person an invite. All people have to do is randomly accept one of the invitations (it's not like they're going to know who is in what room), and they'll fill up randomly. If one room has more than the other, then a few can migrate over to the unfilled room.

[Quo]

Then what? Play until there's only nine and reset on a single table?

It would kinda suck losing a chip lead, but it would be more satisfying overall...plus chat would hopefully stay connected the whole time. We'd have to monitor how many were left at each table at all times.

[supafreak]

I saw we just take the top two or three winners from each table based on how many showed up for the night. Then we can calcuate winnings based on that.

So say we have 16 people and 8 per a table. Then lets have the 1st place winners at both tables split what the 1st place winner would have before. Then we can do the same for the 2nd and 3rd place also.

For the final week we can get the top 8 players in a room to see who takes it all?

Of course all these depends on if we have no issues with just 8 per a table/room. If this works with no issues we can hammer out the payout details more.
