MTT Challenge - DRAFTS!

Link to original thread that includes the rules and stuff here -> http://www.liquidpoker.net/information/f/40927/last/LP_stars_MTT_Challenge!.html


There will be 3 teams of 6 players. Each team has to have at least one player from the "lower buyins" category. The "lower buyins" member is the only one in the team that is allowed to play and submit scores for MTT SNGs (for example the 20$ 180man one). The teams will be decided by the 3 captains on Sunday 25th, at some time between the start of the LP tourny and sunday tournys. A 3 handed tournamnet will be held for the 3 captains to determine the order at which they get to pick teams. If they want the first pick, they'll have to win the tourny. Below is a (close to) final list of potential participants. If you feel there is a mistake and you should either be or not be on that list, please let me know before sunday. This will also be the deadline for applying (not too late yet).





Captains



Mig (Corwin) - needs no introduction. (i am lazy l0l)

TwistedEcho (Jon) - our resident professional tournament specialist poker player - check out a sneak preview of his article in the latest issue of WPT Magazine. There aren't many people who can claim to have built a bankroll and gone pro spending 95% of their poker playing time in multi table tournaments, and Jon has pulled it off with an unbelievable ROI. Nicknamed by some as the "rebuy king", Jon's obvious talent in MTTs backed by his sheer experience and knowledge as a student and specialist of tournament poker will mean anyone who gets on his team can probably consider themselves luckboxes.


casinocasino (Konstantin) - This may just look like some confused lost guy with a stupid hat, but do not be fooled! This is Kon, a slick high roller and member of the exclusive 100k+ club (and it is +++++). Although primarily a cashgame shark, he has also found some impressive success branching out to some high buyin MTTs on the side, playing a loose style playing lots of hands. You may remember his name from the Paradise Masters tournament where he bagged a cool 63k for 4th place at the final table in the Bahamas, or his 12k win in one of the 4th Annual Turningstone Classic events, and a more recent stars sunday final table appearance. Kon aims to show what he can do this July.

mig isnt in this?

hes being a bitch refusing to play.. try to convince him or something what abitch

bitch

why isn't rasci in this ?
3 teams 6 players?
how about
4 teams 5 players
or
5 teams 4 players
6 players averaged thats no fun, 4 players average is more of a team, 6 player average 1 player can slack and the other team mates wont beon him like they would if it were 4 players.
what about
6 teams 3 players on each team, 1 captain 2 wings
2nd place gets their buyin back, 1st place takes it home
this way, the 3 players of the winning team take home if the team entry fee is 500, 2500 and split it 3 ways which is 833 833 833 each, while if u do 3 muckteams 6 players each first place takes home 1500, split 6 ways = 250 each
there should be like 6-20 teams thats a competition each with 3 players,
still captains and first pick goes to the worst rated captain and last pick the highest rated captain this way it balances out well

smaller teams would be more interesting imo, but i don't think they can find another captain on this short notice, considering pretty much everyone who is capable has already been asked.

unless mig stops being a bitch fucking bitch fuck

(oh yeah also because there are 18 players, you'd need 6 captains to divide that up evenly unless you want uneven teams)

6-16 teams.
1 captain and 2 players on a team

Much more lucrative prizes.
In the 3 team 6 player format, 500/6 = 83.3$ buyin, if ur team wins, then u get back 250, you only 3x ur entry that is suck.
But in the 6-16 3 player teams, you put in 166.6 and if you win you recieve 1000 to 2600 depending on whether there are 6 teams or 16 teams. Now thats something to play for, not some measley 250

Captain leadership
Captains can better lead their tightly knitted team of 3 players than their 6 player team, they only have to worry about two players instead of five. I mean most likely all the palyers will be palying @ the same time, two aim messages or 5 aim messages, 2 aim anyone can manage.
MORE TEAM SPIRIT, You are tightly knitted not some loose goose gathering.

obv they gonna pick me first.

If I get staked I'll play low buy in tourneys as well, I play a ton because the weekends are the only time I have to do anything.

You have all the players entering this tournament rated.
Depending on how many players enter makes up how many captains and teams.
say there are 18 willing players, top 6 players are captains,
6th 7th 8th
5th 9th 10th
4th 11th 12th
3rd 13th 16th
2nd 14th 17th
1st 15th 18th

who are you? Let ket sort this out, hes talked to everyone thats going to be involved before finalizing it and this works fine. The only other possibility would be have pooruser as a captain, and 4 teams - otherwise we don't have anyone else wanting to be a captain, so its 3 teams.

Oh, and anyone whose in the low buyin section and wants me to pick them, please PM me a poker resume, including what you'll be playing over july, and how many tournaments you think you can play. I don't really know anything about any of you guys.

this month will suck for the regulars at stars MTTs

I think they will consider it extremely juicy

ROFL AT YOU

lots of the good regulars will be in vegas, so mtts should be softer than usual. Assuming i sort out my one big problem (im moving house 29th, so won't have internet setup for a bit... i'll prob just go stay at home with my parents till my new house is up and running) then i think i'll aim for like 400mtts over july. No chance we don't win this!

ill become the best mttplayer ever

Lets get one thing clear:

Cashgame players > MTT Donkies - we gonna fuck em up

add me to mid/high buy in

I dont plan on playing very many tournaments in july so I would probably be drafted in one of the early rounds and then be of little help for my team. So I think it would be better to just not be in the challenge.

thats the sad truth =[, my only problem is my patience sometimes ..

hey jon we gotta increase the sidebets between me and u...

yea i dont really know how active i'll be in july. i plan on going places

ill play if its not too much money to put up (despite my prior requests for a higher buy in)

Mig plz join, it won't be the same without you :/

It will be the exact same without me because if I was there I would barely play.

is it too late to sign up?

if not sign me up for the low stakes players

What represent low buy in players and high buy in players? i don't really play MTTS over 50$ buy in(and actually im probably a donkey at MTTs i don't play them a lot, but i will for this event, i like to play them and want to improve).

Im medium/high for fixed limit cash games but for SNGS im more like 20-50$ buy in even thought i am probably able to add in a few entries to higher buy in

Well i don't think im comparable to some of the people in my categoy -.-

same

sounds like so much fun though

the reason more teams with smaller numbers does not work for our community is that we just don't have enough "workhorse" players to go around, and it'll be boring if each team has only one or two such players, it'll become too close to an indivudual effort rather than a team effort. it's more appropriate for a site like 2+2 to have more teams with fewer players because they have a LOT of professional/hardcore players who are ALL gonna play a TON. basically on lp there are not enough high volume players to go around to justify a larger number of teams.

sign me up, im gonna play alot, and im low stake player
playing up to 30$ tournaments

i would like to play, just i dont know how much time i will have in july. i am probably out for about half the month. :/

i really don't fancy your chances of getting drafted by a team if you're not prepared to play a lot.. nevertheless tell me your stakes category and i'll add you to the list if you want

sign me up,
3r 5r 10r 215 sunday player

had an idea but second thoughts its fine as it is. nvm ignore this

ket - i am a low stakes player (freezeouts up to 50$, rebuys up to 10$). but i know its not very clever for any captain to draft me. the comment before was more of a "sigh"

ah.


anyway, i think its fairly obvious we need to bump it up to 1k per team for the prize pool.

that sucks for the low players like me,

1k per TEAM...


so you divide it in the most fair way for all involved.

It is going to be fun, but we definatally need some side bet action going down...

If it's not too late, can you add me to the low buy in players!?

i want to be switched to low buy -_-

added murray

huh floofy, dont you have a pretty big bankroll? im not sure if its fair allowing you to be in the low buyin category, because as it is anyway only 3-4 of the other guys are going to make it getting drafted onto a team. they unlike you dont have the means to be able to play the big tournaments and im trying to make it a little more accessible for everyone.

my situation sucks, im better than low buy ins players but much worse than mid/high players. But ur kinda right so i guess ill stay as mid/high

if i was a captain id pick you over a better player if you were going to play more. volume>skill

plus you probably suck as much as me at mtt. just buy some harrington and cardrunners quickly, and donk it up and play a lot, and be FEARLESS at high buyin things!!!~!~!!

you can sign me up, im alow buyin player but if i get better during the month im willing to play up to 50$ freezeouts

currently ill play 3r/5r and up to 20$ freezeouts with no problem

ill still focus on cash games but ill try and have 1 or 2 MTT's up at all times

i play about 6-9 hours a day (sometimes more)

Hey Ket,

I posted a message in the main thread, not sure if it's still being monitored.. Would it be possible for me to be added to the small stakes pool as well? Below are my answers to the 4 questions:


1. I would be interested in enrolling for this. I've been playing lots of cash games lately and need a change.
2. I can consistently contribute ~ 40 hours a week (weekdays*4 + weekends*10) so ~ 5.5h/day
3. The buy-in level under $15, or under $11 for rebuys
4) For the prize pool I can contribute $100

yo i missed your post sorry, i have been hungover most of today

Ket in terms of volume - don't put me as a massive volume player, ill play enough to accmulate points but not enough to win TLB or shit like that

Ket, am i on the roster?

add me to low buyin/low volume group

Ah I forget to answer those questions O_o

I'll play $3, $5 and $10 freeze-outs, $3 and $5 rebuys. I'll add higher buy ins as (if 8D) my bankroll grows.

I'll play as much as I can, summer job is restraining me from playing 24/7 ( I'll play at least 1 tourney / day, at weekends I'll play more and when I don't have morning shift.

For the prize pool, $20-$50.

PM me if you need my msn.

Add me to the low buy-in group if there's still room.

I must figure out a way to play this....

Name: Juan Lopez
Nick on ps: Logiabs
1) I'm really interested in taking part , cant wait this to start
2) I will be able to play 16, coz i gotta sleep 8
3) Up to 25$
4) I can contribute with 75$++

His chat is banned, he asked me to sigh him up. All you Ket.

Add me to the low buy in players please, I plan on playing $1, $2, $3 and $5's mainly $3 and $5 buy ins in July with the possibility of higher buyins as my BR grows. I just can't put up much towards the whole team bet, however, I think this would be a lot of fun and since I have 0 to do in July because I have the entire month off outside of a 5 day vacation I plan on playing a ton.

i would be low buyin tournament player

Is the low buy-in category still open ? ^^ <3 <3 <3 <3

There's going to be a lot of disappointed low buyin players haha

okay today is the last day to apply, after today the list is set. im trying to get all 3 captains together for the 3handed sng they'll play to determine the order they pick teams in. are you wanting to join muhweli, or just asking the question out of curiosity?

add me up to the low buyins ket

read my post above
