Title: Tus poker tournaments?
Post by: Sensei on January 04, 2017, 10:39 PM
Anyone interested? Spoke only to Snipe for now, and he's in. So thread seemed easiest way to gather ppl.
We proposed same things at same time, was pretty funny. This is what we had in mind:

- 2 tables (18 ppl)
- 5$ buy-in
- payouts for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.



If anyone is more experienced in online poker - are there any sites on web that gives an option to make private tables?

I'm always down to play poker for whatever stakes we choose (paypal).  We will never get 18 people, we did this before, if we get 6 i'd consider it a good turnout.  It supports multi-table tournaments if we somehow get more than 10.

We used this program before - https://www.pokerth.net - I really liked this pokerth, seemed simple to install and get going, no drops, easy to find the correct game, ect.

Cool Wal, thx for sharing links.

Let's get at least 1 full table for sit'n'go!

Pokerth has one of the poorer algorithms.

We used to play with b2b and it was constant huge hands, just felt so rigged lol.

If you can find a better service I'm in.

Poker is a love of mine so I would play. Also open to higher stakes / cash games if people wanted.

I think Stars lets you host private rooms via the Home Games feature, or at least they used to (pretty sure it's still the same). I would rather do it on a reputable site personally.

As Stars you mean PokerStars or?
Yeah, guess everyone have account there. And those who don't - should get one.

If it's possible to host private, I vote for them!

Played heads up on pokerstars few years ago. Dude goes all in with AA, I call with 2 3 off suited.
He gets third ace on flop. I get straight on river.

It wasn't for big money, or only hand of that kind, but somehow that game stucked with me through years. Was good feeling haha.


EDIT: judging by your luck, maybe you were the guy, kins? :D

this will not work like that, 1 guy can play today, other guy can play tomorrow, and another can play for 2 week :<  If I can I would like to suggest to set a date and clock, prepare the program and payments ( neeller/ skrill/ bank??\  and then when the date and time is set, whoever will be able to play, he will.  We can set date for next week for example, and even if someone will not be able, there will be still more tourneys to come, we can play every week or even more often. Lets see how this will work

Post by: spleen17 on January 07, 2017, 08:00 PM
Ok guys, I have created a poker club for us on PokerStars, here is all the information you need for joining:

What you need to do to join:

1. Download PokerStars client (there may be a specific version for your country)
2. Open the main poker lobby, then click on 'More' and then 'Home Games' (Home Games may appear on main screen for some versions - any problems, send me a PM)
3. Enter the club ID number - 2095280
4. Enter Invitation code (everyone who has posted in this thread has received a PM with this - if you haven't then post here or message me).

And that's it, just wait for me to approve your membership request.

When you are accepted please post on our wall telling us your tus username so we know who everyone is (or you can do so in this thread if you are not worried about stating it in a public forum)

You can start any cash game or tournament anytime once you are a member of the club! Again if you are new to the client or have any problems then PM me on here.

It was actually my first visit on cash games on pokerstars site. It said average per hand on this table is 1$ so I just went in with couple of $ to see how ppl breath there. Usually only doing sit n' go's or spin n' go's to kill time, but this cash game seemed lot more enjoyable. Eventually will probably try luck on bigger tables, but happy with learning the curve with these amounts, atm.

I've been playing poker for a long time and I've only caught a royal flush twice. Nice hand!

My weekly IRL poker game has been on hiatus even before the Covid19 pandemic. People would show up but didn't want to play and instead would just talk and smoke weed and get drunk and watch sports on TV... annoying since I don't even like most sports. I have tried online poker on various platforms but never for actual money. I am sure that it's probably a better experience when real money is involved because I know that when it is free to play, people act like complete idiots. All ins pre-flop every single time? Yeah, no thanks. It's not worth my time trying to outsmart these people when there's nothing to really gain or lose.

I love poker but i'm not a big fan of it online as you can't see the tells as easily in real life.

I've played a game with my mates during lockdown were we all signed into pokerstars to a private form, and then set up a zoom meeting so we could also see each others faces and have that dialog which we usually get on our monthly poker nights. We just used the PS free money but then paid each other with real money via Paypal so PS didn't take an ante etc.

It was really fun having the zoom windows with webcam by the side of the PS window.

ps. forget poker, play clanners!
