This is the official place for our private tourneys! All your information regarding private tournaments should go here. Don't trash the forum. Please be active, and have fun! Any tournaments, any limits, any poker form- just fire your ideas, suggestions, offer tourneys for registering, ask for tourneys to be created- maybe you have some particular structure you are interested (i.e. 20K starting chips+ 3 min blinds), maybe you want to take a shot at a rarer game format (i.e. triple stud, 8 game etc.)- just let us know

first of all- hooray we have our official thread! tnx admin! now getting back to business, i think the "grand opening" tourney should be nl holdem, not because i like it or not, but because this format is the most popular, and as zeroster mentioned, building a player base who regularly enter tourneys is a priority...we had nl omaha hi/lo tourney- 2 players showed up, badugi tourney- 3 players showed up... btw what about "millionaires structure"- 20000 starting chips and 3 min blinds, with unlimited rebuys and an addon...$0.11 buyin, game- most popular poker form: texas holdem (nl), anyone interested? what time? maybe saturday, at 19.00 GMT (brm time)... i made a doodle so that anyone interested in this tourney would have their say on the date/time- will go for the one that is most convenient to majority: http://doodle.com/ffwh3by8gvnf84gt let's kick off our official thread in style!
nice one poch....last time i pilayed the tournament it was 2AM in the morning here in philippines and i was so sleepy already..I understand its with pokerstars so i cannot afford a rebuy tourney...hahaha....i only have 13 cents in pokerstars.... ..but if its a freezeout plai can play and i have to win for me to be able to play the next tournament....anyone play in betfair?

Posted by WinAllDay: Perhaps we could have a BRM players championship 8-game tournament. Find out is the strongest all-around player on BRM
i have nothing against that, perhaps someday next week, that is if more players show interest, don't see very exciting brm championship with 2-3 players registered

Posted by takingdrugs: hows about some 7card stud, ive been dabbling in it but not good at it at all.
same here- if enough players show interest why not- i basically can play any format as long as the buy in is $0.11 (for the bigger buy-in i would start to choose what to play)...

well you can play the rebuy i tourney with a single buy in, why not? just hope that you will not run out of chips btw what else can you play with this roll in stars? $0.10 360 sng or $0.02 990 sng? way more of a donkfest than our tourneys imho...but it's your call... regarding betfair- had an account with them, but sadly it was closed about a month ago with a reson though

Posted by thefly131: Do you want to play the tourneys on several poker sites or just on pokerstars.
Maybe an idea to play these tourneys on sites that have less players and have a no deposit pokerbonus from BRM.
Like yachting poker, there's almost no action on the site and if there are several BRM members to claim their bonus this could give some action there
i don't know if you can make private tourneys on other sites, and we picked pokerstars since most of brm'ers have an account with them...
So is anyone up for "The Grand Opening" tourney this Saturday atm 2 players are interested which make this tourney one of the biggest in online poker history (for more info looks up a few posts)

Probably all those games are in a Private section of tourneys or a Special ones. Havent an account at Poker Stars to tell exactly how it is, but i bet its like the rest of the poker rooms

Posted by zeroster: Surely not us two again pochui? Should I just transfer 11c to your account and save us both some time?
i have a feeling that you will end up on the winning side this time- holdem is of those games i like least (probably due to the fact that i lose 99% of the time )
Anyway here's the info. I created new home games club where i will organize tourneys, it's called "The Rigged Place" in respect for all those epic threads around brm Anyone who is interested in any tourneys i organize here's how to join:
- If you don't already have it, download PokerStars software - Open the main poker lobby, then click on the Home Games tab - Click the 'Join a Poker Club' button - Enter Club ID number: 671258 - Enter Invitation Code: pokerisrigged
That's it! Once I've approved your membership request you can register for the tourney!
Grand Opening tourney is this Saturday at 19.00 GMT (brm time) Buy in: $0.11 Starting chips: 5000 (there is an issue with 10/20 K rebuy tourneys atm in stars, their support told me that this will be solved in the near future) The rest: nl holdem, unlimited rebuys(for 30 min) plus an addon, 5 min blinds (starting at 15/30)
Waiting for victims, oops sorry players P.S. i opened a play money table also which i intend to use as info place- just sit down at the table and if i'm online at stars we can chat about any issues (like you want a tourney organized quickly, maybe want a heads up match etc.), play money tables do disappear when usused with time, so if you don't find one- no worries i will create new one once i login on stars.

i think buy in is to small.. its just playing for fun because i think in this tournament wont be even 30players so.. for 1st place you can get 2$max so where is point of playing this tournament? just waste of time IMO. Maybe if you would create omaha /omaha h/l tourney with buy in 3 OR 5BUKS then i think we will find some action

Well the buy in is small so we can attract some players. However, if people would prefer higher stakes I'm sure pochui would create a game if they asked.
Yes it is just playing for fun.
A waste of time? No, something that is fun is never a waste of time.

i can organize whatever you want- just find enough opposition and ask for tourney to be organized, i personally would go nl/pl/fl omaha hi/lo any player size up to $1.10 buy in- if you want to have a go please inform me- we can make this tourney regular
------------ Grand Opening tourney is Today! at 19.00 GMT (BRM time) there are 3 players registered already- waiting for more, if at least 3 more show up we will have 3 places paid, so it will kind of a double or nothing (info on joining a few posts above)
