Haven't yet decided whether I am going to play in this tournament as a lot of organisation (table creation etc.) is required. However if the entries are low enough i'll join in.

Count me in guys Very Happy

You cant beat abit of HU matches Cool

Is the tournament going to run to its conclusion on the night, because if so I feel it could be a very long night for all involved Shocked

Just to clear things up too, if its a seperate HU stt every game, is it $1 per match Crying or Very sad

I'm broke

Working it out AJ, the most you can lose is $1 unless you get a bye through.

Win round 1: Best of 1. Profit : ($1 total profit)
Win semi: Best of 3: 2-1 ($2 total profit) 2-0 ($3 total profit)

So if you win the first match it pays for your second.. etc. etc.

The most games you'll play is 10 if there are 16 players and in order for 10 to be played you would've won 4 of the 5 going into the final and would be up $3 ($4-$1). Lose the final 0-3 and you break even.

As for it taking all night, if we get to the final stage and its too late I'm more than happy to postpone and reschedule for the finalists. But knowing the hardcore poker players on here we'll be playing all night long!! Very Happy
