Hi, I have a idea possible to help fellow BRM home game members who are not able to play in the Easter home game due to being Broke.
Maybe Bank roll mob can offer a freeroll, top 10 gain entry to the Easter home game, this way members who cant afford buy in still have a chance to participate, of course we would have to convince Bank roll mob to donate another $11 to get this idea off the ground, and then get pochui to set this game up, But it would be well worth it in my opinion, Just an idea,CHEERS

i think we can have a "donkament" type of satellite tourney: 5000 starting chips, unlimited rebuys for 1 hour. buy-in & rebuy with play money- that would be a good distraction from regular tourney action imo, but i don't want to push the limits & ask BRM for support again- i think they already done more than their fair share, so this satellite would be on only if we get some sponsors...i think 1-2 places max would be enough (don't want to see freerollers dominate the player base in the main tourney). so this could take off it someone cares to ship $1.10-2.20.
open for ideas....(btw only real BRM'ers will be able to play this, as same rules apply: you can join the rigged place only if you post your stars id in this thread & brm name on the comments field when applying)

don't do it...maybe we can open a thread for those who can't afford the buy-inn..
where members can borrow/lend the buy-inn for this specific tourney and pay back if they win or in the near future....of course what we need is some members who can lend that buy-inn...
for the sake of those i'm willing to put some dollars aside ...maybe we can set up a rule...that only people with a certain amount of good posts (50) can ask for such loan...cause i'm willing to loan
but not to those i have never seen on the forum and never contributed to the BRM-community in any way.
it's just an idea...volunteer loaners welcome ..if we have 2-3 people who wanna help with 5 euro all can play it ..i guess.
i'll reserve 5euro for this purpose..
of course administrator has to give us green light to be able to do this...so i'll wait and see and hopefully we can help out.

This was actually done for the Christmas game and admin never battered an eyelid. So it could be done! Although they weren't actual loans they were donations. Good luck all

uhh it's only for 1-2 places to the tourney- will not do any harm i guess. but this only happens if someone decides to ship $1.10- 2.20 if they like the idea, so this might not even happen at all

very good idea

as bullettooth1 mentioned we had a staking offer for Christmas BRM home game, it worked well- i actually got even some decent profit by staking one guy who got a top 5 finish (i rule ) so i guess something similar would work well for this tourney too... oh and don't worry about getting payed back- i transfer majority of the winning myself, so in case anyone gets staked and win large lump of cash- i will tranfer only his part of the winning and the other half to the staker...

whatever yanks your crank the way i see this- every staker can set their own rules & as long as stakee accepts them- deal can happen.

i'm out- i better buy myself a bagel, but i can help you out morally...

i doubt he would have sth against, but yeah it's always better to have a confirmation...
cheers for the idea uhh, hope it gets off the ground
) so i guess something similar would work well for this tourney too...
