The "1 Percent Fund" Inaugural On-Line Tournament

BigDragon

For those of you signing up to Vegasbabypoker.com Ive talked Culchie into using the charity as a trial game for the MTTs using Boards players.


9pm Sunday 15th January 2006 on www.vegasbabypoker.com $5 + .50 Multi - Rebuy Tourney. Unlimited Re-Buys for the first hour


A $5 rebuy should make for good fun, but blind structure (10 mins) will allow for good freezeout play as well, as there will be plenty chips in play in comparison to the blinds.

Culchie has said that he will donate $5 for every single boards.ie starter....there's about 150 daily posters here, so now's your chance to try and break the man !!
He has also pledged to donate 1% of his rake every month throughout the year 2006 as his personal contribution.


Important - Please remember when signing up to put 1percent into the sign up bonus field
The charity fund will receive $25 for each member, once they've reached their bonus level.


Hopefully this will get the 1% fund campaign off to a flying start.


The charity is in the process of being set up as I have to do allsorts of legal stuff.

Bugger I signed up no bonus code and used the default bonus when depositing. Anything I can do?

Culchie?????????????????????????????????????

Culchie

Nothing I can do technically, but I'll stand the $25 myself.


BTW, you put 1percent in the sign up bonus field, when creating your username (not the deposit bonus field, which you are still entitled to as well)

hotspur

I'll set my account up this week with you Culchie so I can do this, but can you really only deposit $200 via a credit card? I mean I'm all for promoting responsible gaming and have nothing but contempt for sites such as PPP which let you deposit 8k a day, but $200 seems very small. Suppose that's all you need when you have win a WSOP seat for 5 cent

It's only a 5$ rebuy for christ's sake. You shouldn't need it all!

$200 a day, $600 a week by credit card until a history is built up. You can then get an upgrade on request.

$3000 per day, $10000 per week by neteller

Methinks it's a fair enough balance between security and flexibility.

cool I'll set up an account tonight. cheers

Culchie

Lads, if you are free Sunday evening 9pm it would great if you'd play this.

I think you'll be surprised to find one of the best MTT tourney structures on the net (I would say that wouldn't I?) ... but I genuinely mean that.

If past experience is anything to go by, there will be approx 90 runners, before any boardsters play, paying approx $800 or so for 1st place, which is very good for a $5 rebuy tourney.
About 80 of these runners will be Canadians from Tigergaming.com and there are alot of very weak, but generally very sociable and amicable players.

If there is any sort of decent boardsters turnout, it should get close to $1000for 1st place, and I 'd nearly guarantee that boardsters will be involved in the shakeup.

I'm donating $5 for each boards starter to Big Dragons Fund, and will continue to donate 1% of rake throughout the year as well.

Come and have a look, if you don't like the tourney/set up, you can simply withdraw your funds again afterwards, though if you work your bonus up, $25 also goes to the charity fund, if you sign up with 1percent as your bonus code....I think you'll enjoy it.
The WSOP STT qualifiers are there as well, I don't know of an easier route to Vegas.

So come and have one night on www.vegasbabypoker.com, it'll be a change if nothing else.

I will post up the game ID when it is announced so that you'll find it easy enough in the lobby (which isn't a great lobby)

There finishes my pimping.

Unfortunately I am not free Sunday evening.....but I am going to start playing on Vegas Baby tonight.

Culchie

Best advertisment you could have, I told you players were crap, if Big Dragon can win a tourney, anyone can ... lol


P.S Well played Dave, I loved the move with 57o

BigDragon

Thx Culchie. seriously, these Canadians are idiots. The play was awful. I played the tightest game I have ever played on a FT and watched them all self destruct..... and I was major shortstack!

Easy money...seriously!

I agree....some of them were more interested in what the beer is like in Ireland.I jokingly asked who was up for a deal with 55 left yes 55...and when I got moved table one chap said he was interested and how many on my old table were up for it.

Hope the tournament goes well Dave, I won't be playing as I'm moving back down to Dublin today. Count me in for the 1% deal thingy as I'll probably be frquenting the Fitz again in the near future.

Oh and do yourself a favour!

I found it under Announced Tournaments but no time is mentioned on the display.

hotspur

The lobby doesn't have any announced times for some reason, you have to click on got to tournament info for the time. Culchie use your huge muscle (no no tthat one) to ask them to put times on their tourny lobby. Ooh and suggest not having to open up a submenu in order to raise above the min.
