sounds really good and should be a really good learning experience... any way you guys could just make it 3k starting chips like a regular gtd on stars? also, so which one of you guys (pros) are gonna step up and add to the prize pool? (joke) or how bout a pro bounty? (also joke but half serious on this)
Basic User
If savvychris will play, I too shall add to the prize pool....
Basic User
sounds great, registered, agreed 3k starting chips would be a huge improvement though

looks like we're stuck with the standard structure for this tourney but going fwd we'll be able to make the stacks deeper...
Moderator
looks like a few pros will be playing in this. We might be able to add some bounties for knocking them out, stay tuned for more details on that...
Plus Team
I'll try to play this.

+ everyone who reaches final table could transmitt HHs, so we can get a replayer session, with or without pro comment, doesnt matter.
For those events would be great if you can finally get the replayer online and feed it with those handhistories, to provide us with extra HH review sessions from members or pros...or something like that ! Waiting for some new PS+ inventions

Thanks Poker Savvy looks like this will be alot of fun. Hopefully we can get as many people as the freeroll lol.

Guys,
Just found out we're doing bounties for the pro's. You can either get $50 cash or a 6 month membership ($140 value!) Its up to whoever knocks them out. You can post the HH here to get credit for it!

Good tourney. Sick final hand.

Fun MTT. We'll get the structure straightened out and maybe make some different games along the way too. I had a good time playing with everyone though, much better then the freerolls where the pass leaked.
Basic User
Looking at the hand now, I realize I must have been a bit hot after the last hand when i shoved with over 30 BBs. But it was a good game tough

congrats on the bountys!
Skkills and Pennanti - since you both pay monthly via credit card, you have to cancel your accounts before I can give you your 6 month membership. Just post here once you've canceled and then I'll reactivate you with the free 6 months.
Epic, you are welcome to sell your 6 month membership. Just PM me and let me know who gets it.
thanks to everyone who particpated in the tourney - we'll do another one soon with a better structure.
