Monthly TPT Tournament - Off Topic - Poker Forum

I would play $10+$1 or maybe greater in a TPT tournament depending upon tournament structure and how big the field gets. 

In regards to structure, I like the idea of 15 minute levels and double stack (3k) or deep stack (5k) with the FTP blind structure.  Even 12 minute levels with the blind structure similar to that of the Fifty-Fifty is better.

I am curious to see how many people are actually interested in playing in a $10+$1 or greater buy in a TPT tournament and more interested in seeing how many truly turn out to play it.  There is already the regular TPT in rotation on Thursday, the AltGame on Friday, the Late Night on Friday and the KO on Sunday.  My observation in the short time I have played TPT has been that the majority of TPT players are not playing larger buy ins or putting in a high amount of volume, and that was before adding the additional tournaments.  To play a higher buy in with little to no field seems silly.  I guess I am just concerned it is going to be a short handed single table sit n go.

Just my opinion…

well as u all probaly know, im young, and not the best player in the world but id much rather sit down and take the chances of losin my money to ppl in the tpt then at random other tables/ tourny's,mainly becasue you guys/gals are really cool and most of the time are willing to help me out, or give me helpfull advice to imporve my game, i like the idea od the monthly tourny at 10+1$ starting with 5k chips, but im not sure how most ppl would reactto the high buy in amount, but its worth atleast a try to see the turnout, i normally wouldnt play this but i just got a job in the past week so i will have money to blow soon, but if it happens im in for sure theres no chance i will miss the chance of takin 4get24betme's money :D those are my opiniona on the situation,

I would prefer a $10+ in place of the $3 Sunday KO.  I played it for the first time today.  I don't know how often I will be available on Sundays to play at 11am PST.  Please, take that into consideration. 

I think my biggest concern, personally, is that the KO had 8-9 players today with one player that was registered but sat out the whole time and even with the added sitter, the tournament had a very small prize pool.  How many people will play the $10?  Will there be less players than a $3 KO?  Will it be a short handed single table tournament or does it have the possibility of growing to a larger field?

Sorry if I am repeating myself…

What the fuck ever, over? I play freerolls with as much intensity as I do larger buys. Too many get wrapped up in the size of the prize, and not the real reason most play…its the Juice man, the competition, the thrill of victory, or the agony of your feet, I think thats how it goes. I say KISS (keep it simple stupid) and keep the TPT a social site for people who enjoy the company of players from all "levels". The small buys are fine, just enough to keep it fun for beginners as well as regular players…it shouldn't be about how much you suck, but how much we can engender each other in our exploits in the cold cruel world of online poker.

For those who think its about the money, you won't have any for very long. Enjoy what you do, do what you enjoy, and everything will fall into place…THAT IS ALL

I'm ambivalent about a higher buy for TPT. I don't know if it will improve attendance, couldn't hurt to try. I think the best way to reach new players is to DM the entire #poker hashtag community, unfortunately. I don't know if there is an app that could facilitate something of that nature, but a personal invite is usually an attention grabber.
