voiceofjoe Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Re: PL Heads-up League - Game 1 Have we got private tables for these ? I played a few HU on Stars yesterday and they fill up instantly, I can see the initial sitter having Multi games up before the correct opponent plays him. :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiceofjoe Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Re: PL Heads-up League - Game 1 Better post our Stars Usernames Mine > Wadhead Billy - Wednesdays are awkward for me, so probably be after 10 or Thursday onwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooloovoo Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Re: PL Heads-up League - Game 1 No offense Gaf/Joe, but wouldn't it be better if everyone solved the "when" issue via pm instead of cluttering this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Re: PL Heads-up League - Game 1 This is going to be so hard to get into the right game with each other. I can set up private games but buyings either $1.10, $3.30 or higher this would be best imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Re: PL Heads-up League - Game 1 I'd agree with Woodie here - when I was playing a few HU games on Stars yesterday they were filling up rapidly. Woodie, are you able to create tables that remain there, so people can come and go in them - or do you have to create a new one each time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy the punter Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Re: PL Heads-up League - Game 1 I was trying out the site the other night to get a feel for the software and I was playing Razz, HORSE and PLO8 - they took a while to fill, over 5 mins every time. And this was prime-time (US) on a Sunday, bout 8pm their time. I don't know how to set up private tables - can anyone do it? If not it means Woodie setting up the whole lot - bit of a pain? If not then great. Or shall we see how this gets on doing things normally. If you name the table, and the exact time you're meeting it may be workable - always give yourselves at least 5/10 minutes after PM'ing. :ok re the fixtures, the engine I used came up with GaF/dave and me vs VoJ - 2 replays of the recent HU games. :eek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodie if you can sort this for every game then it would be fantastic - do they offer all the variants though. Is it a pain for you sorting this all the time?

deadlydaveLDN Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Re: PL Heads-up League - Game 1 I hate to be awkward (no, really I do), but I'm going to have to withdraw from this. I just don't think I'm going to stay motivated enough to play all these games, especially with the 2m 2k challenge going, where I'm trying to be a bit more selective with the poker I play. Maybe people can have a bye week when they were due to play me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the plan is to discuss amongst yourself the time, post the intended time and variant and I presume Woodie will do the rest? Does this sound feasable?

I would suggest maybe evereyone drops them a Mail - I'll post my template mail if you wish to copy and insert your username etc. (I've no tried yet to see how eay/difficult it is) Hello Martyn, Thank you for your email. We are pleased to extend you the ability to post your own regular "private tournaments" to the PokerStars lobby. Your account has been updated so that you may now do so. Tournaments you deploy will have a "standard structure", 1500 starting chips and 15 minute rounds, with the same structure as a sit and go event of the same type. To post a new tournament, log into the PokerStars software and locate the menu for "Private Tournaments" at the bottom of the "Requests" menu. A few points about the creation of events: 1) A password is required, and must be 6 characters or more. The password is case sensitive. The password must not be used in the message or tourney name fields, as it cannot be displayed in the tournament lobby. 2) Stud games may not be Pot Limit or No Limit. 3) We recommend tournaments be deployed several days prior to their start times for best turnout, though we can run events on as little as 60 minutes notice. 4) We advise including the buy-in amount in the name of the event, for clarity. Otherwise, players will have to visit the tournament lobby to locate the buy-in amount. 5) The "Message" field is optional, and what you place here will be displayed in the tourney lobby in the upper right panel. 6) An event can be canceled from the software only if there are no players signed up. Once players have signed up, the event can be cancelled only by a system administrator at PokerStars. Please keep all of the fields free of profanity or inappropriate references. PokerStars reserves the right to remove any event deployed with inappropriate references. Abuse of the feature by deploying inappropriate material may result in the loss of this privilege. PokerStars provides the ability to create private events as a courtesy for our frequent players. These events are not intended to be "open" events, nor to drive traffic from PokerStars to an outside web site. As such, a tournament title or tournament "lobby message" cannot contain a URL or an Email address (such as a location where the password can openly be found). Please note all private events are subject to PokerStars Terms of Service and Tournament rules. Good luck running your private games! We thank you and your group for choosing PokerStars as the home of your private events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
