Will it cost FPP to play in the tourney, or just password, or what?

tjwor · Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 7:18 am Post subject:

it will be a password, and eitehr $11 or free through stars and i'll do payouts through paypal, but i need to hear some oppinions on what day i should try to set it up...

DRay9911 · Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 7:47 am Post subject:

i think Sunday the 22nd at 6p central (7p eastern) is fine.

it's the end of the weekend and people will/should be winding down.

i don't think it should be set up for the vote. you are the one putting this together, so it should be what's most convenient for you.

i tried purchasing a visa debit card which i read could deposit directly into stars or use with epassporte, but i purchased it with my credit union visa card and they are questioning the purchase, so i'm in a bit of limbo. i'm hoping it's resolved today.

i also purchased a gift2go card online yesterday thinking i would get a virtual number, which i could use with epassporte. but i guess i'm going to get a real card in the mail and there's no telling when that will arrive.

i'll try a couple of alternatives today/this weekend. as soon as i find something that works, i'll pass word along.

alright, i contacted pokerstars and asked if i could set up a tourny for the 22nd, that is a freeplay 100+9, that would make things easy, just will need people to send the paypal for the password, it will be like $10.61 for me to receive the money, and then we will payout the people in the cash to the correct percentages

I will verify that we got it set up and i will post the rest of the details!

They sent me back, i will be able to set up the tournament as soon as I restart pokerstars, so as soon as i win or lose in the tourny i'm in i'll try to get it set up and post back all the details!

tjwor · Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 2:03 pm Post subject:

alright everybody! It is in! The tourny is up!

We have a $5.50 Tourny.

It had to be a real money tournament through pokerstars, so i set it up as a $5.50 through pokerstars, and then will need everyone to send another 4.81 through paypal to get the password.

How I think it should be done...

Payout Structure i would like to see

# of entries | 1-15 | 16-30 | 31-50
1st Place | 50.00% | 40.00% | 30.00%
2nd Place | 30.00% | 24.00% | 20.00%
3rd Place | 20.00% | 16.00% | 12.00%
4th Place | 0% | 11.50% | 10.00%
5th Place | 0% | 8.50% | 8.00%
6th Place | 0% | 0% | 6.50%
7th Place | 0% | 0% | 5.50%
8th Place | 0% | 0% | 4.50%
9th Place | 0% | 0% | 3.50%

It is a little bit more spread out than pokerstars regular structure, but i like to see more than 3 people get paid if there are 27 people in it... this is just my suggestion, we can do it however the general public wants Very Happy

So there would be $5 per person in the pot from pokerstars, and here are there payouts-- http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/tournaments/rules/prize-structure/

So a little over 1/2 of the pot will automatically be paid, and then we can finish it out through paypal to the others we want to pay.

This is only a suggestion, we could also just make it a 10+1 through pokerstars, but that is adding an extra 20 cents to everyone's payment, and will make it that much harder to get everyone that wants in the extra $ on pokerstars.

So, I have $80 online right now, so I could send a little bit to people for paypal.

If anyone would like to sign up for the first time on pokerstars please let me know and i will have you refer me, if you play enough points to get me the bonus, i'll send you $25 of it Very Happy

So anyone interested in playing in the tournament PM me and I will send you all the details, I will make a list of everyone who is planing on playing, so everyone can see a count, we will also list whether they have paid their entry or not yet.

Sound Good to everyone? or did I confused the hell out of you all?

i was able to purchase a gift2go card (yellow from Walgreens) and fund epassporte with it. i then moved the epassporte over to pokerstars.

the $50 card was $54.95
I was only able to deposit $48 into epassporte because of the small pending charge that was made to verify the card
there was also a $5 epassporte fee

the amount deposited was $43.....bah

i'm trying to find an easier (cheaper) way

Looks like I'm going to try and get a virtual visa and then load up an epassporte account...

DRay9911 · Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2007 10:12 am Post subject:

Now that the date/time have been announced, i'm bumping this post.

For those who have Pokerstars and epassporte accounts, there is a way to fund your account using a pay2go card (it is too late to buy one online).

If you do not have a epassporte account, it is simple to set up.
If you do not have a Pokerstars account and will be signing up, make sure to go to Pokerstars.COM.

I won a little bit over the weekend and I have $110 in my account.

If you absolutely need $5 or $10 for the buy-in, you can PM me (I may consider a PayPal/Pokerstars exchange). DO NOT come up on me wanting more than $5 or $10 and at least make an attempt to fund your account yourself.

OK Guys, since there aren't many that have PM'd me about getting in this yet this may not be a big deal...

Can we change the date of this to the 29th?

I have to work now on the 22nd and don't know if I can make it or not... If you guys want to keep it on teh 22nd that would be fine, but i may not be able to make it...

Let me know guys!

DRay9911 · Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2007 2:15 pm Post subject:

If Pokerstars is cool with you moving it to the 29th, then move it to the 29th if you aren't sure you can make it.

Quadracer89 · Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2007 2:19 pm Post subject:

29th is good, better for me aswell. Maybe we should advertise on the homepage or something? Talk to Dmorris

tjwor · Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:59 pm Post subject:

Ok, it is set up for teh 29th now, at 18:00 ET

It is 5.50 entry on pokerstars, and will cost another $4.81 through paypal to get in.

Reason's for making it both paypal and pokerstars
1. So we can do the payouts differently than how pokerstars does it, i personally don't like that it would be most likely top 3 that got paid.
2. You have to pay the paypal to get the password into the tournament.
3. To keep a good count on the tournament and know who everyone in the tournament is.
4. To make it less stressfull for people to get the correct amount of money on pokerstars.

Also, if you would like to pay the extra $4.50 paypal in pokerstars money instead that would also be fine and would save you the 31cents in paypal fees.

Any Questions let me know, i will be contacting everyone who PM'd me already soon to let them know the details

Also, i'm on AIM as tjwor1987 if anyone wants to get info there!

I'm bumping this post.

I'm not sure how many people have PM'd TJ about the tourney, hopefully we can get an update today.

I have $175 in my PS account, I can make $5.50 transfers in exchange for PayPal (do not ask for more). You will need to still pay the remaining PayPal amount to TJ.

if you look through the history of this thread, you can see when it started and how many times it was revived (to no avail).

people just need to let it go and let it die an honorable death.

I probably used the debit card 3 to 4 months ago for a poker site. Some gambling sites get denied by paypal debit and some do not.

And yes, a paypal poker tourney would be sweet but I don't know if anybody wants to organize it.... how bout we all just meet at my place Sunday night to play? Wink
