Bluemoon online private poker game

Re: Bluemoon online poker tourney

You have to look at the other side of things. Some of you are really good poker plays, i am quite average at best and simply wouldnt play with a $50 buy in. I play online as i enjoy playing poker, winning large sums of money would be a bonus, but i really doubt i would win. I think you should keep it low, $5 in, $1 bounty or what ever we used to do for the game on Wednesday. Maybe do a big game with a $25 in and a $10 bounty once a month of something? If you want large numbers to play then keep it low, if you want to win big money, then play in the bigger games on the poker site against other players from around the world, not other blues who are joining in and not taking it to seriously. This isnt a rant just how i feel on the situation. Looking forward to Wednesday. How many do we have in up to now?

Anyone can win at Poker if they put the time aside to learn the game, diff strategies, pot odds/equity etc.

But then again, nothing beats the rungood, haha

i'd be happy to have a bigger buy in but i reckon its more likely to scare a few off than get more in. You'd be surprised how many people have pm'd and then backed off when told we actually play for real money.

A lad i used to work with said he was interested in playing in my home game and that he'd played some pretty big games with his uni mates, when i asked him how much for, he said a fiver!

We could just do one for $20/30 to start with?

We've struggled to get this off the ground with just a $6-75 buy-in, sometimes having only 5-6 playing. I think people are a little scared that they may be walking into shark pool, they want to play but are reluctant to play with people they don't know. I reckon the more people that play the more people will come along and join. I think we should keep the buy-in low and see how we go for a while, get more people playing and then ask the question on here if everyone are happy with upping the stakes afterall its not about winning loads but just a few blues getting together for a game. A lot of the people that play treat it a bit more of a social/something to do thing.
We can always have bigger buy-ins on a different night if enough are interested. I'll happily make anyone an administrator of our "home games" club if they want to set up games on any given night for any amount and then people can choose whether they want to play at that buy-in. We could also go onto other clubs forums and ask if they want to join in to get the numbers/prize money up without actually putting the stakes up. I am willing to go with the flow but I'm concious of it not turning into any sort of hustling fellow blues of their hard-earned.

I'll play whatever gets the most people in, but wouldnt mind giving a bigger buyin a go, and then maybe turning it into a monthly thing if we get enough players?

I think anyone who's reading this and thinking about playing needs to realise it is only a laugh between blues, and no "hustling" takes place. Plus you only get better by playing with better players! :)
