Hi mobsters, Easter is gonna be on March 31st this year, plenty of time still, but what i want see before i actually ask BRM to support this tourney financially is to see BRM members supporting tourney themselves. it will look a totally different thing to ask for brm financial backing when we actually make the tourney look more like a community desired event, then just a regular home game for pochui and a couple of forum regs...
So here's what i want everyone to do: if you support the tourney- gonna participate/ donate to the prize-pool/ rail the players/ just like the idea & back it: GIVE THUMBS UP FOR THIS POST the more +1's we're gonna get, imo the easier it will be to get the financial support from BRM for the tourney...
any ideas, thoughts are always welcome. let's keep this thread near the top until the end of this month & see what turns out...

Hi Pochui, that is a good idea.
Don't have any money now on stars but maybe we can give you some mobpoints(500 points i wil give)and you cash it and put that in the easter freeroll????
It's just a thought.

good idea- maybe it will work, but it's still too early for the donations: i will open a new thread for the tourney on march 1st- then we will go for donations & maybe BRM support too...for now i just want to see community support for the idea itself....thanks for the offer, gl jakobusss

Posted by Macubaas: You have thumbs up for me, let me check my pokerstars account since i know that i have couple of dollars left.
If you want i can donate some dollars for this ocassion, i think it should be pretty fun to play on it
appreciate the offer- sure any donation will be gladly accepted, on march 1st we will have an official thread for this tourney & gonna start accepting the donations...till then i just want to see brm members supporting the idea....which they are doing very nicely indeed hope to see you at the tourney, gl
------------
Posted by Mysik86: OK. I like the idea And I think I will donate $ for it Maybe $1, maybe more, but I will participate this tournament for sure
will be glad to see u at the tourney, any donation is also more than welcomed, still time until we will start accepting the donation (on march 1st)- meanwhile just don't lose your roll gl at the tables- see u around

Posted by bullettooth1: 'The million dollar Easter brm home game' now that sounds nice I'm sure we would fill more than two tables then.
that sounds epic pretty sure it would attract more than 2 tables....probably whole 3...

I think about it And to prevent it - please give me your PS ID (I forgot it, but I remember manpochui or something), so I transfer you first $1 of cash. If I lose whole roll, I don't donate more... but if I make nice profit - I'll trasfer more

so jesse when are you gonna play in a home game?
The reason I generally don't is because of my timezone. I'm currently GMT + 11hrs.. do the maths (and I'm often working weekdays) Sunday evening games inevitably run Monday morning for me and I work every Monday.. If a game is a Sat game I've got a much better chance of playing, since my Sundays are usually free.. But it still means either an all-nighter, otherwise waking up at like 3-4am or some silly time.

hey.. I did play the BRM HU championship.. Made it to the final round too.. we each one a round, then in the final round, we got allin (and I had him covered) and I had trips vs 2 pair and lost to a runner runner fullhouse, was pretty sick!

Posted by snoggy: I was thinking that perhaps in there gratitude . BRM would donate all there profits from last year and use that as a free roll . thumbs up anyone
nah that would be too much to ask out of them imo....but if apple would offer something similar, then i would jump in at the offer immediately...

well if this is the case, then i'm pretty much sure we will host the game on saturday...around 8 pm gmt...that would be 7 am in the morning to you if i'm not mistaking...pretty doable huh?

Definitely doable. But I generally don't make requests as to the times of these things, because I don't want to feel committed, so certainly don't do anything in terms of dates/times to suit my schedule, because I'm not going to commit to playing.
