Private Online poker rooms

[CrownNSeven]

I know PokerStars has this, I am not sure any of the other. But what would be the interest of getting a small tournament (1 or 2 table) set up online at one of the sites in their private room sections. This could be run at a specific time and passwords would be needed to get on the table. Call it like the "monthly Weston online tournament"

I don't know what it would take to get this set up, just seeing if there is interest as I would like to make as many live tournaments that are on this board, but lack the time (and sometimes energy to argue with my wife)

that would be sweet...and poker stars would be great since i have that downloaded

[poker]

i would be up for that. do they set the blind structure for you, or can you create your own?

[Big Pappy]

Count me in, for sure! Nice idea.

[thejim]

It sounds like a good idea.

ok i am going to email partypoker/fulltilt/stars to see what they each have to offer.

[TommyTwoToes]

looks like party poker wants you to have 200 players.... dont think that is goign to happen anytime soon.

i jsut sent an email to fulltilt support... will see what they say.

Try Doyle's Room -- I think I've seen small private tournaments on there before.

tom, have you heard anything from the sites about what kind of structure you get? this idea is great, though if all it turns into is a tournament where you get 1,000 or 1,500 in chips and the blinds go up every 10 minutes then it won't be quite as great. just sayin'.

[TommyTwoToes]

this is what full tilt had to say.
I do need ot ask what the structure of blinds and starting chips will be and see if i can specify.

what other questions should i ask?

I guess we need to come up with an agreed scheduled time and day of the week.

[chopz33]

does it cost the group anything to set these up?

b/c i would hate to pay every month and then us not be able to make a tourney...im assuming it would be free to have the tourneys and then they would take a cut off the buy ins?

they are likley jsut taking the rake as they normally would... .

at the mometn full tilt seems to be giving me the most positive feedback and possibilities ... it appears that i will be able to set the starting chips stack and maybe the blind schedule...

if we can make our own structure then we should make it generous. keep in mind that with the internet you can easily get in a hand a minute.

Agreed. And can we chose starting stacks. Since its a once a month thing maybe a deep stack 10K, with 20 min rounds. But it may also depend on how many tables we get.

I am surprised Stars has not responded, the have hundreds of these. But Tilt is a good site also.

And I have plenty in my account I could lose to asswipes I know as opposed to strangers.

i got the positive feedback from fulltilt and figured i should take one at a time ... that way i can possibly say to the others hey this site is willing to do this can you meet it etc ...

[chopz33]
