The "WTM Poker Night" is starting soon as a new big event, and every WTM User is welcome to join in. :)
Since there are some Poker Players in here who love to have some challenge, this is the ultimate chance to battle for blood and honor ! (and I also think it would be a nice change to all the Weekend Scandals and hating lately, the community can do some activity together, have fun and compete in an event)
You don't have to be an Expert to join in, every new Player is very welcome too, because even a Beginner can donk out Palah with 72 offsuit ! ;)
Up to now these Users would be interested to Play:
1. Fireball 2. Palah 3. theoffice 4. bazzy 5. Kinoute (as our NL25 pro i'm sure he would join) 6. oldzia 7. Asmodai 8. olympiquetango 9. CHILI 10. mqd 11. Gregh 12. crosbow 13. 14. 15.
(I think it would be nice to get at least 10 Players...the more the better of course!) We need some more girls, Marina, Sati, Zo0 come come join in the fun! :)
Game: Texas Holdem No Limit
Location: Full Tilt Poker
(I would suggest Full Tilt Poker, because it's quite easy there to set up a tourny, I just checked it.)
Buy-in: Play-Money Tourny (however winners will get AUs rewarded by the losers - detailled payout structure depending on how many participants we have.)
Time: I would suggest to do it on a Sunday Evening maybe at 7 pm Middle European Time, where most of the people are at home and online. Let's keep the 5th june as a date in mind, since this weekend a few users are busy drinking in Utrecht i think. :)
Password: The Tourny will be password protected and I will post the password 1 hour before start into this thread, so only WTM users can join.
Special: As a Special I will put a Bounty on my head to make things even more interesting. The user who eliminates me out of this Tournament will win 2 Months of WTM Supporter Subscription !
Of course we can discuss about Time, Location, Buy-in etc. if you have better ideas...I'm keen on your input to make this event a success ! So just write into this Thread !
To the newbies:
If you are a newbie to poker and would like to join, I would be willing to help you setting up an account on the Full Tilt Poker Software. Just leave me your msn or skype messanger addy on my profile and I will try to help you.
So boys & girls just write into this thread if you would be interested to join that we can get an overview how many people are really interested & if you have different suggestions about the points above (buy-in, time, Software etc.) it can be discussed in this Thread as well! :)
Sorry but french players like me, Pala, or theoffice won't be able to play since we have a law in France about gambling and we have our dedicated "server" of FTP, we can't play on the .com with strangers, we can only play on the .fr
Do you know if the french players can play on Pokerstars together with others?
Or any other site? At least it was like that when I was still very active that all Europeans were able to play together on certain sites. Just US Players always had certain restrictions...
OMFG, I just did some research and looks like french players are really banned from every single site or got their own server... looks like I'm really not up-to-date what's going on in the Poker World.
Hmm too bad, got to play a heads-up with bazzy then. :P
Ok, I just checked it...it's definitely possible to open an account on the french software for european players. (which doesn't really make any sense why french players are banned from the .com software then, if strangers can come to them ?)
However once you open a new account you got to send them the scans of some documents which is normal at Poker Sites for security reasons, but it usually takes a few days:
"Identification: A copy of your current and valid passport, driver’s license or identity card; this will be used to confirm your identity and date of birth.
Bank Account Information: A document providing the details for the bank account that you will be using for withdrawals from your Full Tilt Poker.fr account; this documentation must clearly show that the account is open in your name."
So yea...it gets complicated. Now I doubt we will get enough players who would be willing to do so much complicated stuff just to open an account there. :)
If we find enough players we can do it, otherwise let's forget the idea...didn't expect so many problems when I came up with the idea to be honest. :(
to be honest.. this is too much for me... fuck this shit.. there must be another way.. if i've got the time i will try to find something.. but i am new to this.. so don't expect anything..
yes that could work, for play money you don't need to send in scanned documents to play.
However the person who wants to open this Private Tourny has to have an activated account (sent in the documents), so maybe Kinoute could set up this tourny then if he has an activated account already on the french Software or I send in my documents in the next days.
And of course everyone who wants to play would have to download the french Software (but it's possible to switch the language into english there), because I guess the french people can't even play play money on the .com Software or?
And we also would have to agree on a payout structure...if we are only 6 people, the winner of this play money tourny would get 6 AU's then for example (1 from each player) or we also could make it like that: 1st place 4 AUs , 2nd place 2 AUs
The problem with such agreements always is, that everyone would have to do it after the game :) and especially if more unknown users of WTM would join, there is always a danger they don't pay out their part of the price afterwards. (If we only do it between us with well known users I guess everyone would do it)
Why isn't there a full penis poker? It is one of my golden rules not to play for money! But i am kinda drunk and i wanna be close to one of my best friends(fireball), so fuck you i am in with all my penis-powers!
What would be a poker game without the poker queen herself, olympiquetango!? Get your sunglasses ready, I bet she will destroy the table with her turkish bluffing skills ! :)
Ok I will put a penis on top of the pricepool just for you !
I wish I would have the time to join... but my master thesis will not be finished by some nice fairies.
Though, I've got the perfect outfit for the poker night (I made those T-Shirts for a "giant human tabletop soccer" tournament at the university's summer festivity 2006 - took me 3 days to draw those T-Shirts):
Nice, you all are very welcome. The more players the more fun it will be and the higher the pricepool! (more AUs to give out to the winners) :)
@LaGross
Very cool pics, I couldn't even paint 1 of those shirts in 3 days.
@olympique
Of course there will be a dress code! Girls will have to wear the exact same bunny outfit you can see above...or why you think I put these pics up there !? ;)
(Boys can wear what they want, but everyone has to bring a beer with them !)
@everyone I updated the first topic a bit, about time & buy-in. Let's keep next sunday the 5th of june as a date in mind if it's ok for everyone. Enough time for everyone to download the french Full Tilt Poker Software and set up a play money account there. If anyone needs help just shout on my profile and I will try to help you.
@Fireball To be sure, you deal with the tournament creation (or Kinoute) and we (all the other users) have just to create an account on Full Tilt Poker and join it. No need to deposit money and send any papers?
I see you want to wear something special to distract palah and look into his cards. So I will make an exception for you...you can still wear the bunny ears with this outfit tho. :)
@mqd
yes, that's right. I sent in my documents already yesterday and they confirmed my account will be activated, however they send the activation code via postage so I got no clue how long it takes till it arrives. But here are many active french players who can set up the tourny as well, like kinoute, theoffice and so on. The others just need a normal play money account to join in. (you don't have to deposit any money or send in papers)
maybe one of the other active french players could confirm this?
I play on PKR all the time, never joined Full Tilt but I'm more than willing to for this get-together. Could you put me down as interested? I can definitely play
Nice Gregh, I used to play on PKR as well sometimes. It would be fun too to see everyone as a 3D Poker Player on the table, but unfortunately there are the french players banned as well.
What I also don't like about PKR so much is that the hands go pretty slow compared to other Poker Rooms.
@bazzy
that's cool, I wish you guys a lot of fun this weekend ! I will be in Bamberg this weekend together with my collegues from my ex-work, we will make a beer bike tour there through the city (sitting on a bike with around 15 people and everyone has to pedal while drinking beer) It looks like this: http://www.bierbike.de/
Me : Palahniuk. And Olympique Tango, herself. And also Toffetomas who's high on 2 CB.
Why do we want Fireball back ?
Because.
That's why.
We solely want his account restored. We solely want to read ALL his litigious shouts, even the turkish ones.
And we want this poker thing organized.
Girls ? I'm taking it personally.
I swear I don't see Fireball back on tracks within the next 48 hours, I, Palahniuk, your servant, WILL delete my account forever. Olympiquetango will follow as well as Bazzy AND Toffetomas who doesn't care anymore !
