Bugsy, freeroll leauge, and buy-in league? Right? I think its the fair way, right? correct me if im wrong? Right! 4As harry_lime fooraces wrote: I like the way thats its been done in the past it is all points right? and the persons with the most points in the top 20/30 go through? right? and there should or will be points on the buy-in league? right? that is add to all the league totals? right?

Right! 4As do i take it you're confused or are you just messing around i will explain if you tell me what you don't understand exactly ! fooraces Well? Im not messing around Maybe I should have said yes im messing around? Or im having a brain fart? harry_lime fooraces wrote: Well? Im not messing around Maybe I should have said yes im messing around? Or im having a brain fart? well i'm not sure which bit you don't understand : - top 10 from the freeroll league go through - top 5 from the buy-in go though - top 5 from the bugsy's league go through if a player qualifies in 2 leagues then the extra spot goes to position 11 in the freeroll league. if say 4 players qualify in 2 leagues then positions 1 to 14 will qualify from the freeroll league. if say 2 players qualify in all 3 leagues then again positions 1 to 14 will qualify from the freeroll league. does that help ? p.s. i can do a full scenario if it's really hard to understand. fooraces NO! I dont want you to write more than you have to, and I dont Know why? Im thinking that In any of the leagues if you win a game (for example) you get 12points 2nd place 10 points ect. ect. and the points total up at the end??? I dont know what I was thinking, I best stay out of this 1, Have you ever thought of a points systems? Im grasping but it could work?? I understand the way it is now, so dont explain, TY muratore fooraces, you thinking of a total leaderboard with points scored from all 3 leagues? and then end of season top 20 from the total leaderboard goes in to the bonanza? kind of like that idea too and have been thinking of something similar. But i think that most would object to that, maybe saying they dont have enough money on too many different sites. and i guess the majority are freeroll players and they might think those playing the buy in leagues gets an unfair advatage in to the bonanza well that was my interpretation of your posts foor.. harry_lime fooraces wrote: Have you ever thought of a points systems? Im grasping but it could work?? yes, but i think this one ends up as the most flexible and keeps the leagues seperate at the same time. the bonanza should always be seen as a bonus event and not integral to the leagues themselves. i'd like to think we would all be playing these games bonanza or not ! I understand the way it is now, so dont explain, TY excellent ! fooraces muratore wrote: fooraces, you thinking of a total leaderboard with points scored from all 3 leagues? and then end of season top 20 from the total leaderboard goes in to the bonanza? kind of like that idea too and have been thinking of something similar.

GREAT! some one understands what I was trying to say! and your right Muratore! I guess it would kinda be unfair! But! if you and me could highjack this thing we would make it work Brian Wills Its great input guys & you know all ideas are welcome. But I think H has it spot on, plus we will probably end up with 3 times as many playing the freerolls, & that is our core concept 'Quality Freerolls' fooraces & muratore (plus a silent member, not sure who that is) fooraces Nuff is our silent Partner already in the organazation, he's our in and its to late to stop us!

and when it comes to pw theft cant you ask cake to have the payout returned to the forum? i know poker.com ban players playing forum tourneys without being elligeble to play them. not sure about cake, but might be worth a try! harry_lime muratore wrote: isnt this a kind of password theft? and when it comes to pw theft cant you ask cake to have the payout returned to the forum? i know poker.com ban players playing forum tourneys without being elligeble to play them. not sure about cake, but might be worth a try! if it was a restricted freeroll possibly yes but for a buy-in, i'm not so sure. we'll check this backstage and see if it's worth persuing. in the end it's free to join MLP, so very easy to get a password for the buy-ins. the freerolls are different because they are restricted to the Freeroll Members which is why we try to be strict with this. what concerns me more is who gave out the password as it must be one of our members. just a shame really ! muratore placing high in the OFC freeroll gives you points for the freeroll league. i dont think a lot of us are playing the OFC buy in. but maybe we should have something like that in the buy-in league as well. i have no idea really how many will play it and not what levels would be ok for points. there are 225 regged for it now but still lot of time left to reg for it. so maybe 4-500 playing? just a suggestion.. 150-200: 1 point 100-150: 2 points 75-100: 3 points 50-75: 4 points 30-50: 5 points 10-30: 6 points 3: 7 points 2: 8 points 1: 10 points maybe too many levels but you get the idea... give something for the respective league even for those playing the buy-in. and perhaps promote more to play the future OFC buy-ins. harry_lime i'm going to say no to this as i want the buy-in league to stand alone. also our numbers are excellent for the buy-ins and the main reason we made the OFC rule was more to because at that time, we only had a freeroll league and it was a bit of fun to try to add to the team spirit. i am hoping that we may join other forum team competition soon but this will not have points included in the freeroll league (this is why i have also lowered the points for the OFC now) as if this becomes a president, things will be way too complicated for future events. muratore was just a thought in my head when i woke up this morning after not enough sleep and i thought id give it a try.. you never know if it had been overlooked or not but i should have known. harry dont overlook these things harry_lime muratore wrote: was just a thought in my head when i woke up this morning after not enough sleep and i thought id give it a try.. you never know if it had been overlooked or not but i should have known. harry dont overlook these things i do mate, i do. .........and it's always good to have someone keeping me on my toes ! bigjoo ive had a lot of thoughts over this thread and the only suggestion i have came up with is LET ME WIN THE NEXT LEAGUE thinking of starting a vote on this see wot you all think ? all those in favour of me winning plz stick your hand up addam00 buy in suggetion Well I think in the buy in league games everyone should leatst get a point.. cause there buying into the tourney... and then you can start like haveind the points goi up when they make it the final table.. just a thought. Know-nuffin Keep the idea's comming Adam, we are always keen to see what changes we can make to improve our site. However, I cannot see any benefit from this one because as everyone receives a point for buying in, it is no different score wise than now; just with the goal posts moved slightly. harry_lime Know-nuffin wrote: Keep the idea's comming Adam, we are always keen to see what changes we can make to improve our site. However, I cannot see any benefit from this one because as everyone receives a point for buying in, it is no different score wise than now; just with the goal posts moved slightly. that's right. also, almost all of our buy-ins are money added events so i would hope that makes each game better value than your average fare. the league is very much a bonus to make things more interesting for our members (and the backstage team of course   ), with MLP adding another $50 on top of all the money added. there's always pros and cons to scoring systems although i think for our leagues the top 10 works well, especially as we spread the prize pool a little further (normally top 5 pay). you might want to take a look at The MLP/Bugsy H.O.R.S.E. League as this offers a slightly different scoring system with all positions collecting. this is because the pay-out system is more standard with less players making the money (last game had 14 entrants - top 3 paid). although i am not a big fan of the all players score system, i think in this case it makes sense ! ......clear as mud !!!   addam00 Another Idea for a leagiue game.. how about having like a last man standing league.. where u start out with so many players and at the end of the tourney the person with the lowest amount chip may not play in the league and so forth keeps each week till there is 1 left and if you miss the next game you are elimnated or something in that matter.. just an idea...I have some more...just like thie league it is one of the easier forums to read and undertstand.. and u dont need to do 1 million things to qualify for stuff. harry_lime Re: Another Idea for a leagiue game.. addam00 wrote: how about having like a last man standing league.. where u start out with so many players and at the end of the tourney the person with the lowest amount chip may not play in the league and so forth keeps each week till there is 1 left and if you miss the next game you are elimnated or something in that matter.. just an idea...I have some more...just like thie league it is one of the easier forums to read and undertstand.. and u dont need to do 1 million things to qualify for stuff. hey addam thanks for the ideas - keep them coming. we won't be starting any new leagues for a little while until we have established what we have. the new bugsy's league has only just started it's 1st season and the buy-in league is into it's 2nd season with double the amount of games from the 1st. your idea could be something for the future though. thx h ! NateTrib Looks like we have a muratore jr. on our hands! muratore takes more to become a muratore than just constantly come with good suggestions addam00 another idea how about in one of your but games have a bounty tourney.. i know some of yo are not fans of bounty tournies.. but I think it would be intersting. how about a rebuy tourney but just use 1 rebuy or 1 add on tha way people cat comming in... but I guess if u do it on a but in tourney people are likely not to buy back in, and my other one is that i have not seen in awile is like a late night tourney or a midnight tourney something in that mattter... these are just ideas for future playing i guess. NateTrib We've actually had some bounties on people's head in past tournies and I'm sure there will be more in the future. Also there is always a bounty on the League Winners in the End Of The Season Bonanza. I knocked out the cunning Brian Wilis in the last End Of The Season Bonanza and received his bounty! But he deserved it for taking my trophy!   As for rebuys and add ons we've discussed this before HERE. As for late night touneys, this is difficult because of the differnt time zones a late night tourney for us would be a 3am tourney for other people.   addam00 someone proably suggest it here but ill try and ask how about a priavte table for just some cash game? where only our members can play. harry_lime Re: someone proably suggest it here but ill try and ask addam00 wrote: how about a priavte table for just some cash game? where only our members can play. addam, we already have that for SNG's. click the link "Propose a Bugsy's SNG" that's in my signature line below and it will direct you to the right place ! were you taking about a ring game ? we should probably do a poll for that but it could be possible. muratore i think a win in a bugsy league event should get a medal of its own instead of the green "special events" one. it is a league of its own and deserves a special medal for a win in it. harry_lime muratore wrote: i think a win in a bugsy league event should get a medal of its own instead of the green "special events" one. it is a league of its own and deserves a special medal for a win in it. yes, we did talk about this before the league started and decided there were enough medals but actually i think you are right. i'll figure something out ! muratore there can never be enough medals i am sure fooraces agree with me on this one looking forward to the new colour harry! harry_lime muratore wrote: i think a win in a bugsy league event should get a medal of its own instead of the green "special events" one. it is a league of its own and deserves a special medal for a win in it. done ! muratore nice purple! HOUSECATS how about having a heads up tourny for one of the extra by-in tournys. gives everyone a chance to play heads up with some different league members. i know i could use some practice at heads up. muratore HOUSECATS wrote: how about having a heads up tourny for one of the extra by-in tournys. gives everyone a chance to play heads up with some different league members. i know i could use some practice at heads up. we have been thinking about having some kind of HU tourney, but i think harry said it wont be until at least after this season harry_lime muratore wrote: HOUSECATS wrote: how about having a heads up tourny for one of the extra by-in tournys. gives everyone a chance to play heads up with some different league members. i know i could use some practice at heads up. we have been thinking about having some kind of HU tourney, but i think harry said it wont be until at least after this season yes that's right. we'll need to get things balanced if it's straight knockout (32, 16, 8, etc) and it may be a little early to try a small league but we will try this at some stage ! i think it will probably be a freeroll when it happens (probably ).

We could base if on skill , or improvment , participation, posting or ones who represent and are most helpful towards others in our league. This way when a special game comes up like OFC they not only get to play the freeroll they also get to participate in the OFC buyin. thank you gina addam00 Ill try anothet idea how about a team tourney of just mlp players but have teams or 2 and the combine points of both players will count..and the team winner is the team with the most points. harry_lime gina12230 wrote: Here is one, how about a sponsorship program that helps those having trouble getting funded (usa) (canada) or financially challenged and give as needed for like special tournements that represent our forum specifically.

I have done that with lots of sites..there is at least 50 private freerolls a day..and i usaullly choose the day before what private freeroll or event im gonna be in.... but since i made bankroll i dont usually go in those freerolls that much but i still do the private buy in tourneys...I really woulndt go for sponsring a person so they can play casue as longs they have internet service there is alot free play out there... but maybe towards a charitbale organzition what i would do is have a buy in tourney ON this site or at least have a league game with all the buy in going towards this site... with no prize and the only prize would be your rank i the standings... I would at least have one game like that.. that way it would help this site and future games. addam00 Another idea well u know u have the venus vs mars how something like USA vs the world or ENGLAND or EUROPE vs the world or how about the MLP members vs the MODERATORS of MLP or the bottom posters vs the top posters.. just an idea thats all Arsenal28 I like the USA vs. The World idea. We've seen it done at the NHL all-star game before so I think trying here would be a great idea. We seem to have a pretty equal number of members from the States and other countries. JR How about a challenge tourney against another forum? I know of another forum that challenged the poker.com forum. Sounded like fun and I'm sure it gave the challenging forum some name recognition. Amarillo4 JR wrote: How about a challenge tourney against another forum? I know of another forum that challenged the poker.com forum. Sounded like fun and I'm sure it gave the challenging forum some name recognition. A nice idea but who could we play? If you google poker forums you get over 7 million hits. There are 2 main types of forum, those run by poker sites and those run by affiliates. We play against other affiliate forums in the OFC games. I belong to a few poker site forums but most do not allow US players and I do not think we have enough non US players to challenge a UK site forum. The only site forum I belong to open to US players is poker.com. addam00 Hi You can challenge a small forum on Jungle poker there is a few of them well that USA vs world can be subbituted for east vs west something in that context. but I really dont know how the English would take it harry_lime sorry i didn't reply here earlier. i have read and taken note of these new suggestions. i can't promise anything but i'm sure at some point we will be trying some of these when the time is right. keep the ideas coming ! cheers h. addam00 How about an extra tourney How about and extra tourney for the US players or players in the westren hempshpere at night time PST and then u can have an xtra one o eurouple players, when u have your games it is 11am or 1pm us time usally i would like tio have a mlp game like 7 or 9 pm at night. pst. well at least have it for us.. who knows u might get new members for the other games u have... addam00 another Idea i was wondering if we could have a MLP private sattalite at jungle to of thier events that they have there... harry_lime we would love to do more satellite tuornaments but we're a little restricted by our budget at the moment. i'm sure you'll appreciate that for a forum our size, we have a pretty good amount of tournaments with great added value in the prize money. as the site grows, we hope to be able to put even more money into our tournaments and i am working hard backstage to get the best possible deals for our members (such as the Poker Nordica games kicking off next month) whilst not constantly asking you to download a million poor poker sites to play at each month (something i've seen on other forums). we really do look for quality over the quantity if at all possible - of course some work and some do not. so hopefully you'll see a lot of these ideas happen down the line and some maybe even sooner than you think ! addam00 Another so called Idea Umm.. well u know has 40 dollar added to league games and other games... why dont we put 10 dollar toward a bounty for the person who has won the previous tournament or the points leader.. just one bounty.. Know-nuffin We have the occasional bounty game. I am not a big fan of them because while luck is factor in any hand, it requires continued skill to win a tourney and so should have the largest reward possible. addam00 ummm How about having a MYSPACE for MLP? harry_lime Re: ummm addam00 wrote: How about having a MYSPACE for MLP? should this not have it's own thread or did you mean something to do with the leagues ? addam00 Hi I meant put the league and the forum on the site called my space and have it link to this site... its a way of getting more members harry_lime Re: Hi addam00 wrote: I meant put the league and the forum on the site called my space and have it link to this site... its a way of getting more members i seem to remember we chatted about this backstage awhile back but i can't remember the conclusion. i think NateTrib or Know-nuffin would know about this ? Know-nuffin Erm.... I know-nuffin about it. I've heard of my space but never visited. How does it work Adam........ NateTrib Hey adam are you good with myspace? If you wanted to make a myspace page for us it would be so awesome! Let me know if your up for it and I'd be happy to help. You could also put on the myspace page something like make sure to let em know you were referred by adam00 so you get the credit. addam00 Hi Not that great with mypsace.. but i am sure one of the girls on here are good with it.. Fusspilz Re: someone proably suggest it here but ill try and ask addam00 wrote: how about a priavte table for just some cash game? where only our members can play. Hmmmm, first of all why should I play cash-games against a lot of good players. I think it's harder to win some cash against MLP-players than against average-skilled players. And the only reason to play cash-games for me is to win some money. The MLP-tourneys are fun and I like to play them. The difference to cash-games is that in these tourneys nobody will lose lots of money, in the long run even the players with under-average skills will have some lucky days and break even because of the added cash. So everyone is happy. And because of the great number of tournaments MLP offers its members there are enough chances for competition. If we had MLP-cash-games the situation would be different I think and I don't feel happy with the idea that MLP-members could win or lose large amounts of money against each other. A forum like this should be a community of players having fun together and for me cash-games have not much to do with fun. So even if I would belive that I could beat other forum-members easyly at the cash-tables I wouldn't like to play against them. I still would prefer to play against some strangers and try to take their money. But that is just my point of view.

I agree with Fusspliz, if we introduce cash games it could also introduce resentment and bad feeling if a large amount of cash should change hands, and then we may loose the community spirit and the open helpful post that we all enjoy. There are plenty of cash games out there and its better to take from a stranger u will enjoy it much more. :druid: addam00 hi It was just an idea.. but i wasnt meaning like alot of money.... maybye like use like a 1 or 2 2 oe 4 cents game. the only reason i suggested because this forum has improve my tournament game so much. I just thought it would help me improve my ring games even more.. everybody on here is so friendly that if we had a low buy in cash game it would be good. so if using money is not good for a private cash game. why not have a private ring game with play money.. Know-nuffin The cash isn't important as you point out Adam. Recently before an mlp omaha hi/lo freeroll, harry suggested we met at a regular time on a play money table. That was fun and a good learning experience. I'm sure with the right mind set, we would benefit from 'play cash' time against each other. I am sure there are differences in between the cash table and tourney mind set, but as I tend to play tourneys mostly, haven't found any hard and fast rules I can pin down. Amarillo4 There is a novel offer in a poker magazine I buy on a new poker room. The challenge is to make as much money as possible on June 30th from midnight to midnight, players are not allowed to deposit but will be given 1 euro to play with, if you lose it you are out. The player with the most cash at midnight wins 1000 euros. Could we run something like this (not for 1000 euros as that is a bit much for us)? harry_lime Amarillo4 wrote: There is a novel offer in a poker magazine I buy on a new poker room.

Could we run something like this (not for 1000 euros as that is a bit much for us)? interesting idea. so you're suggesting that everyone sits down at a cash table with 1 euro and plays it win or lose until there is just one left. isn't that basically like a simplified tourney but with just one money winner or did you have something else in mind ? Amarillo4 The magazine does not go into too much detail, I understand it to mean that everyone who signs up for the competition (maximum 1000) is given 1 euro which they can do with as they wish, cash tables to start and if they win then sit and go or MTT. There are prizes for the top 10, the player with the most at midnight wins 1000, the 10th gets $50. Players would not be on the same table and as it is over 24hours it would be fair for both europe and US players. I see it as simply a way to get people to download the new site but I will probably give it a go, be interesting to see how much I can build it up to, (probably lose it all with AQ first hand ). harry_lime Amarillo4 wrote: I see it as simply a way to get people to download the new site but I will probably give it a go, be interesting to see how much I can build it up to, (probably lose it all with AQ first hand ). let us know how you get on and exactly what the format was like. ....good luck ! addam00 another idea? how about like a equalizer tourni or a tournament that gives the advantage to the non moderaters..less say a toranmnet were the non moderatores get a 2 to 1 chip advagte to the moderators... or we can say the people that are not in the top ten in any leagues gets a 2 to 1 chip advatge.. just and idea thats alls Know-nuffin erm.... Not sure about that one Adam...we don't become mods because of our poker playing skills, and don't have an advantage because we moderate the site, so why should we start with a disproportionate number of chips. I Know from experience, writing the game reports and editing the screenshots from mlp tourneys, compromises my attention during the games we play at the time. Indeed I have thrown a game because things were too hectic more than once. I think I should start with more chips than anyone else.

I agree with KN it must be a bit difficult to keep notes and play especially when there are several tables to keep an eye on, hopefully they help each other out, and then PM each other the info. Maybe i will ask for a job myself and see. :druid: gina12230 fooraces wrote: Well? Im not messing around Maybe I should have said yes im messing around? Or im having a brain fart?

You must achieve a very high poker standard in order to be granted the Mod status, & you need a LOT more help But dont give up.... keep trying hard as we all know you can get there. But while you are working on improving your skills (or lack of ), console yourself with the news that Mods are soon to be given 2000 starting chips in our tournaments instead of the 1500 everyone else receives , this will hopefully enable us Mods to continue our supreme domination of MLP events & the MLP Hall Of Fame KNOWHEN2 Brian Wills wrote: KNOWHEN2 wrote: Maybe i will ask for a job myself and see.

Wat cant some of ur ppl handle a difference of opinion. and il be careful not to ofend with my vastly Superior difference of opinion addam00 Hi i did not mean it for a league game.. i meant like a xtra buy in game for fun and i also said or give the top league leaders less chips... jutst would like to see what the outcome will be... for like an xtra game.. and has nothing do with skills of peoplle.. it would like a mod challnge... or juts how about a Mods. vs the regular user challege.. and have it as a extra buy in game. like u did with devils and angless... yes the mods will have a disadvatage because of less mods then people... then we could start out with even chips... IF you can combine something with that on a Xtra buy in game that way it doesnt interfare with league games.. but yet its an xtra buy in so your playing for the money and your team.

That would be fun! Or we could organize something like have MLP member make teams of 5 and see if any of them can dethrown the kings! addam00 Hi Thats a good idea nate... teams verus the mods.. but besides you nate i think most of the mods are scared to play against 5 teams. lol Know-nuffin muratore wrote: KN is the exception that confirms the rule I only became a mod because of the office coffee machine dispenses free beer. harry_lime Re: Hi addam00 wrote: Thats a good idea nate... teams verus the mods.. but besides you nate i think most of the mods are scared to play against 5 teams. lol logistics my friends, it's all logistics. something i have planned for the future will be a team competition. probably something like 4 members to a team with 3 playing each game. for this i would suggest that mods should be split up and not allowed on the same team. plus the captains should also not be mods to encourage more member participation. we need to get to about 25 - 30 players regularly entering our events before this will work but it's all in the pipeline. in terms of a mods vs. other teams. yes we can think about this at a later stage but we can't really afford to finance this right now and our priorities are the leagues and obviously we will have the 2nd "venus & mars cup" coming in the next period. as for any of the mods being scared to do this ...............................
