TripleAce

Why 5 players to play 4 events each and not 20 players to play one each? Or 10 to play 2 each?

Option 2 would be more fun I think.....

Pokerproposal

thats great Triple, thats a good idea, the proposal is not set in stone.
we need to find a better/cheaper way of taking on these big money spinners, instead of people going it alone.

Mullicker

why are you doing this? whats in it for you? whats in it for the the players? Do the players own % of themselves? If he is 100% staked wont 100% of any winnings have to be shared amongst the stakees?

5starpool

I think before you have any right to ask people not to be cynical about this you have to provide more details about why you are doing this, how money is split, and several other things I probably can't think of at the moment.

Now for the cynical part of my reply. Chances of this happening in the (or similar) format, 0.0045%

with a margin of error of 5% imo.

Pokerproposal

read post above re: why doing this.
it is very difficult to win these on your own


1 person pays 1000, they get 1% of prizepool
1 person pays 5000, they get 5% of prizepool

once again, the proposal is an idea open to change, not set in stone.

does anybody not agree, these events are very difficult to win, and this way you put in a good team, with a realtive small investment i.e. 1000 for 100,000 in tournaments.

Mullicker

Are you looking for players that are members of boards specifically? chances of 100 members here putting up €1000 for this are zero. If you were a long time poster and well known, this still would have a very small chance of happening.

Pokerproposal

THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS FOR ME.

IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO WIN ONE OF THESE ON YOUR OWN.

PUT IN A GOOD TEAM AND YOU HAVE SOME CHANCE.

clamper??

I am not well know.
But would like to see well know members of boards poker
to open the account, so people see it is transparent.

kincsem

You want 100 people to send you €1,000 each? Nice idea. :pac:

Yeah, a 5x chance of winning 1/5 the money....

Mullicker

Ok there is nothing in it for you financially unless you are buying a stake, so what are your reasons for this?

Just a new approach to trying to get a big score for realitive small outlay.

1000 for 100,000 in tournaments
with 5 good players
and 4 tournaments

also is does not have to be EPT
the proposal is not set in stone
open up your thinking

OP, nobody knows you here (unless you're DBC), so why would they get involved in organising this with you? Or send you money lol.
Are you 15 years old and have recently watched alot of poker on youtube?

Are they really? I don't see it myself.

Is it true that its difficult to win one of these on your own? I heard that somewhere.

Fair enough.

Check through the amount of entrants €1k+ poker tournaments have attracted in this country over the past three years, and consider the amount of regular €5 / €10+ NLHE games that run around the country. I'd be skeptical that you would have enough players with the means (never mind the interest) to comfortably invest €1000 into this idea.

Then you have the problem of selecting who gets to actually play the events. A guy from Waterford paying €1000 is going to want Nicky Power to play the tournaments, when a guy paying €1000 from Monaghan wants four guys with a Northern accent to get the gig. Who takes the responsibility for judging between a plethora of prospective players?

And finally - and most importantly - you have the question of who holds the money. Who has the type of widely held trust amongst all of the Irish poker community to take responsibility for escrowing and managing €100k for a lengthy period? Hint: the type of person with such credibility probably wouldn't go near this idea because it isn't worthy of their time.

I appreciate that it's an idea and there is no harm going through hypothetical (particularly on this platform), but you're a long way from a home run on this one I think.

It does not have to be 1000 euros
the propsal is not set in stone

Selecting 5 players to go

Option 1 put up candidates and vote.
Option 2 have closed tournament on a website
Option 3 have a draw


The money
5 people or more will open a bank account
to do anything with the acoount the 5 must sign for it
and nothing can be withdraw without the 5 peoples knowledge
the 5 people would be well know

I think I should get the parachute, because I'm great. In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.

Even if you were to enter all 20 into one EPT and they could collude openly with each other (which obviously is not the case) then the chances of one person winning it would be pretty small anyhow.

Also, I would have no interest in playing an event where, if I won, I would only get 1% of my winnings. Even if "THIS PROSAL IS NOT SET IN STONE", there is no proposal that is similar that is going to happen.

On another note, this whole thread rings a bell similar to the one that was rung with the 'American' lad that wanted to come over here and start a series of poker tournaments with some crazy idea. Must look into those similarities a bit more.

Using 2 accounts in the same thread is a pretty big fail.

zuutroy

Not understanding that he was taking the piss out of OP is bigger fail!

Pokerproposal

why so many hostile responses.
its only a proposal to get people to think different
maybe this is what is wrong with Ireland
we are just a greedy little nation, who think we are looking after
everybody, but in reality only looking out for ourselves.
we should use our thinking head instead of your money/greedy head.


Once again, look how the scandanavians do it re poker,
and look how their country operates,
and maybe their is a correlation in that


the only person who was constructive was luckylloyd

bantee

Wait a minute, is this proposal set in stone?

i have only one account, whats this about, nuts

Pokerproposal

Another example of teams


think off all the english players who come over here to play
do you think they play as individuals
get real
they all come in teams

this is why as a very small community we should look at
something like this

max_power

Plenty of Irish players swap %'s regularly or stake people but this just isn't going to work, even if it's not set in stone.

Ollieboy

I think its a great idea. I might be interest in putting up 5k and nominate Ivey as a player.

toHex

but of course...

Lafortezza

You really haven't thought this through.

Pokerproposal wrote: »

The discussion of a staked team of Irish players at a major event could get those players earmarked as colluders.

Get 100 players (non players) to put up 1000 euros each.
Total 100,000 euro.
enter 5 players at 5000 each = 25,000.
4 events left x 25,0000 = 100,000.

What reasonably skilled tournament player would want to play a big tournament when he gets such a tiny % of the payout if he wins. What's in it for him?

Selecting 5 players to go

Who nominates these players? Who decides who votes? Are all votes equal? Is some anonymous poster on the internet going to have the casting vote?

Option 1 put up candidates and vote.
Option 2 have closed tournament on a website
Option 3 have a draw

2 : so whoever luckboxes one online tournament represents a 100000EUR syndicate?
3 : leave it to chance?

The money
5 people will open a bank account
and nothing can be withdraw without the 5 peoples knowledge

This is just fail.

All of my criticisms are obviously not set in stone.

Hello Op,
If there were 5 players good enough to score over 100k in those events they wouldn't be looking for a deal like this. Just think if you win 100k you only get your money back? You'd need a really big score from 5 players and it's highly unlikely (unless you get Dermot Blaine) for it to be profitable for them or you.
You would be better off getting 20 of your mates/investors to put 1 player in and hoping to score from that.
I'm surprised there is not more of this type of thing on here actually, 20 or so send one player to an EPT and hope to score
There is no harm in putting ideas forward though.
