Would anyone be interested in using their mob points to stake a (voted player) in a tournament??, just say you could use say a minimum of 500 points ($5) these would be in blocks, so 1 share would be 500 points, 2 shares would be 1000 points and so on, the more points in the kitty the bigger the tournament we could enter, then we vote for the player most likely to give us a return, i would love to see BRM implement something like this, would this be possible??, and would ayone be interested?? there would be a few issues to work through, like it would have to be a BRM account at the preffered poker site and a few other issues but i think its very doable.

to be worth it would have to be a big tourney,but who gunna play.we would all want to play.if we could lure a pro to BRM to play for us that would be awsome.logistically would be a nightmare,who get what share,aand winner could refuse to pay out.do you get paid back in points or cash.i havce a better idea.BRM flash points poker.ave a flash poker room using BRM mob points.

Maybe everyone interested in taking the "hot seat" would all have to enter a common free roll, and the person who does the best wins, and would have to be a BRM account at the poker room, with a name of maybe (bankrollmob.com) and the password would be changed after each tourny.

This would mean, that different people would play under one account. Most rooms do not allow this.

Im sure if BRM and the chosen poker site got some free publicity out of it it would be worth while, if everyone in the tourny knew that the chosen player was from the BRM then its gonig to send more traffic this way, and viceaversa for the chosen poker room, win win win for everyone, even let the BRM keep 10% of the winnings, if any. i think its worth a try on a trial basis at least,

yeah, you have my vote, i wouldnt care if one of the BRM managment team took the seat, that would stop a lot of infighting, and solve a lot of problems. maybe shaun from Action poker could let us know if its allowed??, just imagine the publicity if we had a good result,( a freeroll affiliate syndicate from the bankroll mob.com has just won X amount in a listed tourament), cant be bad, also i think it could give BRM affiliates more to work with advertising and the BRM could make new rules on sign up, (if you wish to join in the poker syndicate you must up load ID and be phone verified no exeptions) by the way dude super win ,awesome stuff, very nice work indeed.

I like this idea - We would have to sort out an agreement between investors, BRM and the player(s)... We could also have more than one player per tournement, which would give us better odds of cashing. OOooo the possibilities

its pretty simple, 500 points 1 share, divided by the winnings if any, make our goal tourament say 12 weeks away, once we have enough to enter thats it, no more deposits, if we fail in our fund raising then we enter a cheaper tournament, we would have to have a cap on how much one person could contribute. say 5000, but in saying that if this ever did get off the ground which i doubt it would, then 5000 would probably be the minumum to enter. maybe the bankroll mob could let us know if this was possible,
I really like the idea, but I don't think I would just give it to anyone , I would first wait untill I know who is going to play, rail him a little bit and then if I'm convinsed he's a good enough player, I would defenetly pay a percentage.
