I want in on this too guys....I say we get a weekly game going, and whoever can make it buys in. We'd need someone to run it I suppose though.

I'm definitely in for a one time tourney too though.

Pokerstars, I've played at almost all the poker rooms and Pokerstars is the best for tournaments bar none. justinag06 can vouch for this I'm sure.

You can set up private tournaments for play money?

you can, but you need a certain number of Frequent Player Points (i can't remember the exact number though).

i checked into something similar for a4f last year.

i'm guessing setting up a real money tourney on stars would also require enough FPPs, then there is the issue of everyone getting their accounts funded.

I emailed support and they say that you need to have earned 2000 FPPs in their lifetime, I dont have enough but if anyone else has enough we could do it there.

Otherwise we have to find somewhere else that allows you to host tourneys without this prerequisite.

We want to do a tournament in which we play for no real money (so everyone will not have to add an account and a credit card etc.) But the winner of that tournament will have the paypal from everybody sent to them. If thats okay with everybody

That would be cool, email support@pokerstars.com and they can hook you up. I'm not sure if you can host play money tourneys though. People with money in their stars account can transfer money to other accounts though, no need for a credit card so tjwor or me could exchange stars money for paypal. I only have $64 in my account tho.

I think you can host tables with play money and have them password to enter on hollywood poker. So we could do that prolly and its free there.

I'm down for this if someone gets it set up. Would be pretty sick if tjwor could get it established on Stars.

Note to DrillerDeals (even though I know this is months old) - Paradise isn't open anymore to US players, so that wouldn't really work out anyway.

it needs to be done on a site where an account holder has the ability to create a private tournament.

if you have an account on full tilt and can create a private tourney, i'm all for it. i'm not an account holder, but i'd register to play in an FIPG tourney.

looks like we will have to make it at least a $5.50 tourny through stars, so everone would need to get $5.50 in their account, bill said he has some money online still, but only like 50ish

Someone could collect the funds via paypal, deposit the necessary amount by whatever means, and do the necessary account transfers to all of the contributing players.

May sound complicated, but it really shouldn't be that bad.

yea, the only thing is that through epassporte it is $5 per 95 you deposit, and say they needed to deposit $115, it would cost $125 though epassporte... so thats more money on top, plus the paypal fees... so the $10 tourny would turn into the $10+1 fron stars, then probably another $2 worth of fees at least, so its gonna be a $13 tourny minimum, for $10 tourny payouts, i'm still up for it, just want everone to know whats going on!

the most important thing is to come up with a site to play on. if you are able to create a private tourney on stars, i think we should say 'stars it is' and stick to it.

next we should all put something in our sigs directing them to this thread and give those who are interested a week/week and a half to create an account on pokerstars (if they don't already have one). this will also give those of us who do have accounts on stars time to fund our accounts (there are ways, i just need to research them).

i'd be willing to overfund my account and then sell buy-ins for paypal.

as for a day/time, i'd suggest sunday late afternoon/early evening eastern time. maybe try and shoot for 07/22 or 07/29.

Also, if someone would be willing to help me load my account for some paypal ($60 PP for $50 stars) shoot me an IM (FE Support Joe)... My cards all get denied by epassporte & 'stars, and they got rid of neteller & FirePay....
