Does anyone think it would be a good idea to run a private tourney on a site for rlfans?

Seen that suggested somewhere before, can't remember where though.

Good idea. I'd definitely be up for it.

How many people would we want? And how do you go about doing a private tourney?

I'd play. Only really play on William Hill nowadays as they like giving me free money from time to time.

I love playing forum tournaments, you always get the forum "expert" slagging off other peoples play afterwards after they got knocked out early

I'd definitely be up for that... as long as there was money involved of course!

I use PKR mainly but I have Full Tilt, Pokerstars, BetFred and William Hill.

Does anyone here play live as well then? I play in a redtooth league but only really go for the cash game that they have after the tournament.

I've been playing at the G Casino in Manchester the last couple of weeks on the cash tables. Plenty of muppets in there! A couple of weeks back I had AQ suited. Raised to £6 pre-flop (blinds £1/£1) got called by 10 7 off suit. Flop comes down Q 6 3... I bet £12 on the flop. This guy calls me with nothing. On the turn comes a 7, I bet £20 he calls. River 10... couldn't believe it. I lost all my money in that hand. I ended up going to the cash machine as there were two really bad players at the table and one guy who was on tilt. Sat down with £40 and ended up leaving £180 in profit. Won a huge pot with A high straight off the 10 7 guy of about £150 then busted him a couple of hands later

That backs up my point about tournament play, some muppet will call you with nothing and luckily hit and your out. As that was a cash game you could continue in the game and your better play came through in the end and made the money back and more.

Me and group of friends set up our own league and we play once a week. The prize money is split between final league standing and then a final one-off table with your starting chips dependant on how many points you accrue during the league.

I'd definately be up for a tourney. Have accounts pretty much everywhere but i'd prefer Pokerstars
