BSOOP - That time again...

Flushdraw

I think its that time of the year again when we should get the BSOOP going. I’ll take the lead on this one and organise it (providing Pokerstars haven’t taken my access away due to a minor tiff last time out!). I wont be setting up polls for games and dates because they never really solve much. I think its best that I just put up a schedule/plan and anyone can discuss any aspects they’d like to discuss or see changed and then after a few days we’ll go official.

I think it would be best if we went for a Tuesday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. I want to avoid weekends and leave the Monday out so if theres any decent live events on, or if people are away, they still should be able to play if they wish. Thinking 8, 8.30 or 9pm starts.

I was thinking of a 12 game series over 10 days (twice weekly) so we should be finished in just over a month. All games to be played on Pokerstars.

Event 1 PLHE $10+1
Event 2 ROE PLO/NLH $10+1
Event 3 LIMT HE $10+1
Event 4 STUD HI $10+1
Event 5 5 CARD DRAW $10+1 + BLIND OMAHA8*
Event 6 PLO8 $10+1
Event 7 NLHE HU $10+1
Event 8 2-7 TRIPLE DRAW $10+1 + RAZZ $10+1
Event 9 PLO $10+1
Event 10 NLHE $20+1


Points will be awarded as follows

9th – 2 pts
8th – 3 pts
7th – 4pts
6th – 6pts
5th – 8 pts
4th – 10 pts
3rd – 13 pts
2nd – 16 pts
1st – 20pts

Only your best 8 results will count towards the overall title so if you miss 2 events, you wont be at a major loss. I think this gives people more interest because if you cant make a day, you still have a lot to play for and your results wont suffer as much.

The Main Event MUST count towards the top 8 results…If you play 10 events but fail to play the Main Event, only your top 7 results will count and you will score 0 for the Main Event.

You will get 2 points for every tournament you play up to a maximum of 22 points (blind O8 doesn’t count)

*Blind Omaha8 will be 3 x $1 games. You MUST go allin every hand. Failure to do so at any stage will result in disqualification. Points will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in each game.

3rd – 1 pt
2nd – 2 pts
1st – 3 pts

These scores will get added to your total as extras regardless of how many games you play and will not count towards the top 8 finishes.

Not even sure if PS allow ROE games but if not, we'll put HORSE or something in its place.

I’m in work now working through a proxy (obviously busy) and will probably have more to add to this later. I’ll try get online a couple of times during the day so please discuss or query anything, and we’ll try and get this show on the road before the week is out.

Looks good tony, I think tues/thurs is best
Probably going to play all events.

Like the line up too, if I was to change it i'd make the ROE a non hold'em or omaha game, as they make up 7 out of 12 already, but choices are limited obviously.
Horse works (can you alter it to make some games non limit)

zuutroy

AFAIK there's no round of each allowed. Looks like a good line up though!

I'm not 100% on the ROE. I cant get into pokerstars in work so i dont know what options are available but i'd have no problem changing it. I'd also have no problem playing 2 events a day and having an 18 or 20 game series but i dont want to alienate people that cant afford to spend $200 over a course of games.

We dont really need a PLHE so i could replace that with a NL version of Omaha and maybe just exchange the ROE for a HORSE. I've left out stud h/l but i could also run that alongside another game. Not sure if the likes of stud, 5card draw, razz and 2-7 would work anyway other than limit..

I know HE and Omaha make up the bulk of games but i dont really want to lose limit and nl holdem, omaha and Omaha hi/lo, headsup and wanted a ROE.

I'll keep it all in mind and mix it up at the end based on opinions.

zuutroy

As far as I know, the options for 'make your own tourney' are very limited and you can't even have draw, razz or 2-7, I'm not even sure about HORSE. Maybe someone who's at home could check.

Ste05

Sunday and Tuesday have worked well in the past alright, but I don't see anything wrong with going for Tues/Thurs though (think that would be better then Tues/Wed, although most people are on-line on a Sunday night anyway, but I personally don't mind either way.

The line up sounds good, though I doubt you'll be able to get a round of each. I like the Blind O8 sounds good.

Are you doing an overall prize like last time or are we gonna play for the bragging rights as the #1 reason to win??

Either way, best of luck with it Flushdraw and fair play for taking over the reins.

Ste05

Oh yeah, I just noticed there's no Stud H/L, we need that in there, always great craic playing the games no-one really knows how to play...

The last two series have been held on Sunday and Tuesday nights which tended to work quite well.

There's a lot of events such as IPOs, IPCs and Killarney that would involve Sundays. A lot of people, myself include cant play most Sundays because you're either away, travelling, fancied a live game or a couple of pints during the day. Most Tuesdays/Wed/Thurs i can easily make myself available for all these (although will be working lates some weeks).

I've looked at the polls for some of the previous events and there was very little in them. We'll keep options open though

Looks good. Trying to get zuutroy up for a $100 side bet between us just for the extra motivation to play all the games. I would prefer midweek games for sure. Tuesday and Thursdays sounds good. Sundays, Im usually travelling back to Dublin or else hungover.

Mellor

I think PLHE is good, it a a good thing having it HE and PLO weighted, but mixed games are the new cool apparently, and ROE isn't possible.
I think horse, or a huge mixed game would be good.

Can you edit horse to change the limit games,
Say make hold'em no limit and omaha pot limit, one of the stud games and use triple draw or something

The blind O8 is for a bit of craic. Points for winners wont affect the overall too much so no-one can claim they would have won but for someone winning the game of chance! Its also to take the boredom away form the 5 card draw! I'd plan then to start within 7-10 mins of each other.

Yeah i'd be looking at overall winners..Before it begins, i was thinking of $20 a head going towards the top spot in the league. Bragging rights are obviously important and once IanMc gets wind of it, we wont be able to shut him up for a week or 2!

Was the main reason i left it out! I'm sure theres a few that cant play 2-7 TD or Razz so i grouped them together incase someone wants a night off! I reckon we'll end up having a 14 game event to include another discipline or two.

I'll have to sign off for now and do some work so i'll drop back in a bit

belfastlad

should there be at least 8 event holdem and omaha hi as some people don't know how to play the others and you need 8 event for the points boards. also and what happens with points. i mean is there a % withheld from every tourney being split between the top points earner or what?

bops

how about a high-roller (lol) event to coincide with the ME? like a $200 NLHE or HORSE??

gowan for the craic!

Ste05

Good work Tony, the Tuesday/ Thursday thing is fine with me anyway and $20 seems reasonable...

BTW, I was just looking at the Stars website, and if we can get a game of this going we should: http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/games/8-game/

T - Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
H - Limit Hold’em
O - Limit Omaha Eight or Better (Hi/Lo)

No it's all about finding the best overall Poker player not just the best HE or PLO player, the need to be able to play RAZZ, Stud, H/L, Limit, PL and NL events is all part of it. There's soooo much more to Poker then NLHE and PLO.

Although, Ianmc38 will probably run like God and win it anyway!!

yea i dont mind myself tbh. razz would be my only worry but ill just go allin every time i get crap cards. thats the way that game works right:D. and just again whats the deal with the points? is there money witheld from each tourney which is then paid out to the top points scorer.

ps +1 on the high roller event

Ste05

The way it worked last year IIRC (I wasn't able to play myself so my memory is a little hazy) was that everyone who wanted to be in the overall leader board had to pay $20 to the organiser (or whoever decided to be the escrow), and at the end of it the overall winner won the money (or possibly split between top 3 or whatever) but that's the way it works, we can't keep a % of the prize pools.

No idea, don't have PS in work, is there anyone around who's at a computer with PS and has the ability to make Private tournaments who could check??

Lloyd?? You there, anyone else?

Imposter

We can always have 1 or 2 of the games on Full tilt if Stars don't have the games! Not sure if this is the case anymore but I know we played at least one game on FT before!

As for the games I think Stud H/L should be in too and PLHE.
I'd also be fairly sure that NL Omaha isn't an option.

Ste05

Yeah the year I organised it there were a couple (well at least 1) on FT IIRC.

Nah Bops..it would probably end up 3 or 4 handed only and would alienate too many people. I could put in a $50 STT for anyone thats interested, just for those that dont have much to play for! I doubt a higher buyin would get the numbers

Yeah thats the plan. The money can be sent to my pokerstars account before it begins and only these players will be allowed compete for the overall prize. Obv people can still play individual events but i'll be PM'ing the passwords for all events to everyone that pays the $20. Anyone else will need to PM me asking for the password for each individual event

I'm not going to go near FT. Dont want to upset anyone that hasnt got a stars account and you'll also have people using different screennames etc. Plus what if you have a hot stars account and a cold FT account?

No 2-7 Triple draw? Thats not good because that was gonna be fun! I'll check my setup when i get home and see.

Again i dont mind, i think it would be fun too but would only work if we doubled up on tournaments because HU on its own could be boring. Maybe i'll pool this with the NLHE tournament.

BigCityBanker

last year Lloyd went ahead and organised it and told us to like it or lump it and nobody had a problem with it cos we were all pretty thankful to Lloyd for taking the time to organise and coordinate it.

This year I think people should take the same approach i.e. thank Tony for his time and be greatful for whatever he delivers to us. At the end of the day there is no point in people getting animated over whether or not we have 3 PLO and 3 Razz games instead of a stud hi/lo and a 5 card draw - we will be all pretty much equally useless at the games anyway.

Go Tony imo.

Just for your own sake, it's a good idea to stay away from FT, I forgot about it, but the year I did it it was a real headache matching up boards names, Stars names and FT names, at least with just boards and Stars names it's slightly more manageable, so it's a good idea to just stick with Stars.

Also, for your own sake having people PM you for the individual password is going to be a nightmare also, I'd just PM everyone who pays the password to each tournament, and then for each event it could have it's own thread and the password could be in there, again it's just for your own sanity, but having to PM loads of people the PW will get really annoying after a while. People that pay, get loads of advance notice, and people that want to just play individual events will have a days notice or whatever. Just a suggestion, but whatever you want to do yourself is fine.

put it in as an extra (ie with no points) - just a plain old grudge match kinda thingy - i reckon you'd get plenty of runners

I wasnt online at all yesterday after work, i wont be on much during work today but i'll be having a look over peoples concerns etc and i'll put up a schedule on Thursday and i think we'll run with that and see how it goes

hotspur

It would be bordering on sacrilege if we don't have a HORSE one. Also O8 is a limit game, playing it pot limit is only offered to the plebs like they offer omaha at nl at low stakes. Judging by what Kev said we are limited.

edit: just remembered isn't it supposed to be the BCOOP not the BSOOP.

Heisenberg.

i think earlier start times would suit people who work, maybe 7 or 7.30?

edit: also, a good mix of games is good, makes it more interesting, not just nlhe and plo.

Yeah i think i'll be including the HORSE but i may have it as a $20 buyin instead of a 10. I know O8 is a limit game, as is omaha but i think PL would work better for the Boards series.

I actually had it an BCOOP but do you think i could figure out what the C is for! BSOOP is Boards Series of Online Poker

If we decide to run it Tuesday and Thursday, i'll be starting next Tuesday. I'll be posting up details tomorrow eve and that will give people 5 days to transfer funds for the overall prize. I know some people like HJ cant make it on Thursdays which is a shame, but there's also a lot that wont be able to make Sundays. Its only a bit of fun for bragging rights anyway, and it wont be long before its run again

I think thats too early. From previous experience, a lot of work commitments got in the way at this time. Most games wont last more than 2.5 hours anyway so an 8.30 start would be fine i guess

A bit of degen 2-7nl triple draw would have been fun. A $100 event should get 10-15 would it not?

Should be able to make tuesdays games hopefully turn out will be good.

I wouldnt have it as part of the BSOOP. We could just ask Karlh to setup at $20 2-7 on devilfish and play it as a 1 off or maybe weekly thing, but for the series, i think its a far better idea to have it all on the 1 site.

I think your right, would look better for Ian to have all his wins listed together

Here's the schedule i've decided to go with for the BSOOP (or revert back to BCOOP?)

Unfortunetly you're never going to be able to please everybody with the offer choice of games, days to play, times to play etc so as BCB says earlier, its better to just get something up and posters can play if they can, and if they wish. Sorry for anyone that cant make these games every Tuesday and Thursday at 8.30pm Irish time.

Event 1 – Tuesday 23rd September - PLHE $10+1
Event 2 – Thursday 25th September - STUD Hi/Lo $10+1
Event 3 – Tuesday 30th September - LIMT HE $10+1
Event 4 – Thursday 2nd October - PLO8 $10+1
Event 5 – Tuesday 7th October - STUD HI $10+1
Event 6 – Thursday 9th October - RAZZ $10+1 + BLIND OMAHA8*
Event 7 – Tuesday 14th October - NLHE HU $10+1 + Omaha HU $10+1
Event 8 – Thursday 16th October - HORSE $10+1
Event 9 – Tuesday 21st October - PLO $10+1
Event 10 – Thursday 23rd October - NLHE $20+1
Event 11* – Thursday 23rd October – Bops Bounty** NLHE $100+10

**Bops was looking for a $200 game but I’l go for a $100 and see if we can at least get enough for a STT. (Seeing as only DBC echoed his call!) Bops has also generously put a bounty of $10 on his own head for this tourney for added value. Results in this wont count towards the final tally.

** I've yet to tell him about this though *whistles*

Thats 11 tournaments in total with your best 8 results counting towards final standings.

*Results in Blind Omaha dont count towards the tally
For the HU rounds..

Winner = 1st place pts
R/Up = 2nd place pts
Semi = 4th place pts x 2
Q/F = 8th place pts x 4
>= 9th = 0 pts

You will also score 2 pts for EVERY tournament you play in (blind omaha excluded)

I'll outline or clear up any questions more clearly here, or when i start a new thread, which will happen once i setup the games on Pokerstars which i'll do tonight or over the weeend.

Cheers

Just looking at this schedule. If I play a version of poker every Thursday where I have to interact with people, expend energy lifting chip and have to calculate what the pot is, how big my stack is without having the numbers shown to me automatically - I will only be able to play 5 events of this every Tuesday. Would it be possible to extend the series for say 2 more weeks so that people who can only make one of the days can get closer to having 8 results to use? (Not that I would expect big results anyway)


* Sorry about the rambling above - getting up for work at 6 having played poker late into the night for the previous 3 days has addled my brain. I lost the ability to talk (type??) straight

Cheers Kev. Yeh i'm going to have them all password protected and anyone that pays the $20 reg up front will receive all passwords immediately so they have plenty of time to reg.

People that just choose to play individual events will either have to PM myself (or my personal secretary :-)) for the password, although i may just post it up here an hour or so before kick-off.

Your rambling comment holds no weight whatsoever! I go to bed most nights after 3 including the odd night straight from the SE into work for 7....If you cant deal with it, you go to chose lol :pac: joke!

See there's a problem with extending the weeks, changing days, adding more games etc...you'll never suit everyone. I'm going to leave it as a 5 week thing this time around. When something starts off new, its fresh, its enjoyable and there's a buzz around it. The longer it drags on, the more people lose interest and the numbers will dwindle. I found this out when i organised the Headsup league.

I've changed it to allow only the best 8 results to stand to give everyone a chance, even if they miss a couple of games. The only other option i'd loook at is pick the best 7 but you can probably gurantee that there will be only a handful of people that will play all games so it wont be as big a disadvantage as it might seem..you just need to run good in all the games you play and you'll be fine!

I play 6 games and get 6 x 6th places for 36 pts
You play 3 games and get 2nd, 3rd and 5th for 35 pts..easy game eh!

Great work Tony, fair play,

How are you gonna handle the $20 fee, and have you decided on the Payout structure? I could be blind and just missed it...

Here's the schedule i've decided to go with for the BSOOP (or revert back to BCOOP?)

It's up to you, but it was originally called the BCOOP after the WCOOP... But you get to call it what you like as it's your baby this year...
