Preliminary announcement

About a year ago we had an online poker tournament for readers. I promised to do it again, then kind of kept forgetting about it. So it's time. I'm tentatively thinking of the evening of Monday, April 27, 2009, on PokerStars--a HORSE tournament, low buy-in, probably just $10, because it's just for funsies.

This post is just to solicit information about whether there is some overwhelming reason that I shouldn't pick that date (which is mostly arbitrary)--you know, like there's a comet that will be crashing into the earth that day, or there's a presidential election, or something else I've missed.

Sounds like fun. Gotta be Pokerstars? How about FT, lioke the AVP tourney? I'm only asking because I don't have PS account.

I'd like to play but I have no money on Stars. If anybody wants to trade me $10 FTP for Stars I could do it.

Pokerworks runs a HORSE every two weeks on the Sunday.

Dont remember the date of the last.

I'll have to get a stars account, but I'd be in, just keep us informed

I'm up for it. Willing to do a little $$ trading for some folks who don't have money in PS but do elsewhere.

I prefer Sunday, if only because I work evenings the first half of the week. Thursdays would work too.

I only have $20 left in my Stars account, sounds like a good way to donk off half of it!

this will give me a good reason to open a stars account. i usually play on FT and sometimes (rarely) on UB.

Luke,

I could switch Stars $ for Tilt $ if you want.

I charge a 10% fee for liberals (haha, j/k!!). Just ship the $10 to my FT acct jetsjets1028 and ill send you the $10 on Stars.

Grump, I would think a Holdem tourney would get more runners (if you care). I'd be in either way.

That is the first day of the big neurology conference (this year in Seattle); I don't know if that will affect anybody else, though. ;-)

Ray -- Haha. I sent you $11 on FTP. On Stars I am DayTripping7.

Thx!

Sorry for making you the middle man here Grump.

Now that I got you another player, are we switching to NL holdem??

I love the HORSE idea. That should make things interesting.
