Thanks to the 12 club members who have filled out the little Q&A i sent out.

Play Money vs. Real Money is so far split about half half

Tournament is beating cash games about 10-1

Start times are mainly from about 7-8ish

Texas holdem seems to be the game favoured by 99% of people surveyed..

Days of the week are varied, but there seems to be some interest in a mid week game, and of course the friday looks like a winnner.

Out of the people who play real money or are willing to, there is some interest in a tournament with a bigger buy in, maybe once a fortnight or once a month.... Could be a fun way of getting a little bit more serious then the Play Money we all love..

For example, if we do a $10 + $1 tournament and somehow get 15 runners, 3 will be paid. with a prize pool of $150 that means that 1st would get $75, 2nd $45 and 3rd $30.
For a bigger buy in like this we could start with a bigger starting stack, longer levels etc, but that then does make the tourny longer for those time poor.. Possibly the night before a public holiday could be the way these bigger tournaments may to get some more runners.

Keep work'n the free tables, Mickey

Ive created 2 Hump Day tourneys for tomorrow night 7-30pm, given there seems to be a want to have something on midweek

One is play money 500 + 30

the other is $1.00 + .10c real money game

If you guys want a higher buy in on the real cash tourney please post it and then they can be set up according to the wants of members

Havent played on there for a while, but the graphics and actions were all pretty cool when I checked it out ages ago.

[Johno6]

its pretty bloody good.
the overall game play and quality etc is very good.
i mainly jusy play real money tables and the occasional tourny on there.
the real money is good coz more ppl take it serious coz its real money.
i dont play the play money section to much anymore coz the idiots who just go all in every hand.

if ya havent tried it its definately worth having a look see.

[mickey]

Might have to download it again, what stakes do you play johno? What is the quality of the other players like?

[Johno6]

i usually play 10/25c
but if all those tables are full i go to 25/50c
nothing too massive.

theres some real good players on there.
i know the rules and everything but im still learning how to play the game properly with raises n bluffs and when to fold the biggest one.

[mickey]

Fold when you know your beat. Too often players call just on case...
