So, I was roaming in google.com and found a unnamed site [it's not a competitor], anyways, anyone want to try something with cigar poker? I was thinking of maybe having a bunch of us interested that week to join a site [yahoo,bodog, w/e good online poker site]. That week, participants mail to host their smokes to cover buy in, at the end of the week [a day convenient to everyone] the game will be played. There will be a prize for top 3? [I put a ? cause it's not really sure]. Host then mails out winnings...

None of these rules are like set in stone or anything, just wanted to suggest something that I thought would be a cool way to do contests. I wouldn't mind hosting it, but I would like to get another member so we can refine the rules more and in case I can't attend that week.

Any ideas?

It sucks?

Cool it rocks!?

Mach your a tard? ;P

Mach, I think it sounds cool but the first thing that came to my mind was how would you control the buy in on the poker site. For example I play on Full Tilt and when you start you only start with a grand in "play money". Something to think about, unless you want to have a grand buy in... Sounds cool though.

Gramps

I know some sites such as poker room have private tournaments you can set up. Sounds like a cool idea though.

Count me in!

P.S.S. We need to have a tourney at CigarFest too!

lol, we play just about every night at another cigar forum i post at. we het anywhere from 3 to 10 players and play games for a "fiver".

I would love to be host for this, but I know most know and don't know me well, so first... I would like to make sure everyone is cool with me hosting. 2nd, I think I may need a 2nd person to help set up some guidelines to follow and also to help me do some research on what sites are best to host these poker tournaments.

Sledn, is that set up on site, or do you go over to one of the poker sites? Does it have a tourney option?

I know which site he's talking about, but I don't want to turn everyone to that site... ;P

That's why I suggested it here. Never seen a post on it and I thought it was a great idea. Sledn, if you'd like to help me or even send me the rules that are at that site... Drop me an e-mail, or anyone for that matter. 😉

it is on site there. we have 2 rooms hosted by pluginpoker. all you do is click on the poker room link and you have the option of a regular room with standing minimum blinds, or tournament room with blinds that go up every 10 hands.

we do it a few different ways. we have high stakes tournements run with a couple different formats, and we have nightly games for five packs of everyday smokes

the high stakes games the entry smokes are sent in advance to the person who runs the tournament. we have done " 1 on 1" double elimination tourneys, and a reglaur full table tourney.

depending on amount of players, decides the payouts.

^ Damn game cost me a fiver-ish tonight.

lol, me too!

Sounds great!

I play in tournaments on PartyPoker almost every day. Some ten person shoot-outs and some 2-4k person tournaments.

Been there for three or four years or so...

I might have to pm you some night Wes, and get in on a weeknight game. That way you can walk me through getting in and if there is any setup.

CMach, it's your idea, it's your show. however you do it (or where) is up to you. I'm in regardless. I would offer the suggestion to start low (value or number)for the first one. Can always step it up once we see how it goes.
