How much do people want to pay for this? €10/€20? Also do you want it to be like the paddy power “One Hand Sats” where the ante is 100,000 and your all in no matter what, or do you just want it to be blinds and then if your not in the blinds you have the option to go all in or fold.

This all sounds good. Any cash games planned?

DonkeyPokerTour

Yes they will be available depending on demand but usually 1-2 NLH, occasionally 2-5 NLH and sometimes 1-2 PLO/ROE.

Side Tourneys etc will also be available on request.
