What are you going to do about the 11 cents buy-in? A lot of players can't afford that! Would be nice if there was a freeroll option in home games but I guess the developpers didnt think about that. Maybe we should e-mail pokerstars about it.
first of all i suggest going hard on all the brm/pokerstars freerolls on offer. you basically need to make only $0.11 to play in the tourney, any extra is required only if u plan to make a rebuy/addon. secondly- i will stake up to 5 players with this bare buyin of $0.11, no extra money fro rebuys/addons will be provided & 50/50 split of the winnings apply.

OK: takingdrugs has confirmed that he will be donating $5 for the tourney- so we have $57 guaranteed prizepool now. Ronin Harper said he is considering adding something to the pool anyone else is very welcome to donate also.
I would like to hear from these BRM'ers: AlexSimion ($40), fcumred ($20), MarcWinz ($10), Doarulle ($10) - you all pledged to donate some cash for the tourney- it's your money of course and you can change your decision, but even if you do- you should inform us all. This goes especially for AlexSimion - you pledged to donate a lot of money, and told few times that money will be in my account before December 1st, now we have December 11th again i'm not pushing- we just want clear answers.
Thanks everyone who is supporting the tourney, hope everything sorts out well and we will have great time

Thanks been running a bit cold lately!!!
Wondering if you could arrange a "Hyper-Turbo" tourney on PS. I have been playing a few of these lately and enjoy them. They are not just shoving your chips in, as you probably know, skill is involved and can be fun. Perhaps a rebuy tourney for 0.11, so other can get involved?
Let me know what you OR others think...........and don't forget my xmas money you are holding................

yes & no: it would be a hyper turbo tourney if we look at the blind: 3 min is possible, but it wouldn't be a real hyper turbo due to bigger than usual starting stack: 1000 chips. (no option for going any lower). if you like 3 min blinds & 1000 starting chips, then i can create the tourney for you easily. Just pick the date, time & how many rebuys (1/2/unlimited) and addons (0/1) you want. Yeah the buy in you offered ($0.11) looks good- since we rarely have any players then we set higher buyins...

hmmm actually i don't know who is holding it now, since i had some action on zoom tables (just joking- your money is safe & i hope it will make you nice interest on top of the initial amount)

Hello Pochui,
I have a question for you regarding the Xmas home game. I was thinking about donating the buying for several player to the Xmas game. I was wondering how much interest you have had regarding people needing the tournament buy in given to them. I know people have had plenty of time to trying and build up the buyin amount themselves, but i hate the idea that someone might want to play but honest cant manage the 0.11 cents for whatever reason at this time. I really need to know if you think it would be better for me to just donate some money towards the prize money amount or donate player buy in amounts? how many people need to 0.11 buy in?
thank you for your assistance in this matter. I just transferred 10 Xmas buy in to you on Stars. I plan on making a larger donating to help make this a GREAT event after I get your responce.

not a lot, actually 0... i guess it means people have plenty of cash in their pockets and that's good to see.

it's only up to you to decide how you want to use your money- i'm just happy to see you are willing to donate something for the tourney. i mentioned that atm no one wants to be staked, so i do not see any particular reason to stake even more players when we still have places left from the first offer. So i think you should consider donating the money straight to the prizepool. we had a tradition in our previous tourneys to have a bounty on one of our donors head- if you find you want to do this, then you can donate some money for the bounty.

thanks i received $1.11 from you. here's what i suggest: i will put this cash in the pool for one's who want to be staked for the tourney. same conditions (50/50 profit share with you). If no one wants to be staked, then i will forward this cash to prizepool (if you don't mind) So now the pool is big enough to stake 15 players. Oh yeah Jack_Daniels also offered cash to 5 players if needed. That makes it 20 quite a staking pool huh .
think i will open a new thread about this staking offer, i believe lots of people missed the offer because they have no idea what staking is gonna put in the magic word "FREE" in the title
