First Tagpoker shootout on PokerStars

ok, so its now officialy created, The first tagpoker HU Shootout !

Date: May 2nd

Time:  19:00 UK

Buyin fee: $5 + 0,50

Tournement ID:  266524690


You can only register when you have the password. I can not publish the password here (according to PokerStars rules) because this is a public forum. Just send me a private message or post a message here in this thread and I will then send you the password so you can register.

If anyone is such a low stakes player that the buyin fee is to much for your bankroll, let us know in here and some people allready offered to help out so they can then help out.

Hope to all see you there !
Step DAAD

IS it normal pokerstars blind structure?
nachtwacht

Yes, it should be a normal slow blind structure.

Since you can change the Pokerstars clock into your own timezone I choose to use the UK time.

I have no idea if most people change the clock into their own timezone... I did, wich is why I quoted UK time expecting others to do the same...

Next time I will quote both for those that can't figure it out Smile
TheHUSNGDude

I prefer it in your time nachtwacht as its the same time as mine.....i was going to say as tagpoker ends with .co.uk it is a uk run site and is run by a uk dude we should have tournaments advertised in uk because tagpoker world is after all in  uk time zone...

But now that i look in the broswer i see that tagpoker.myfastforum ends in org......what time zone is org in?

And can this ever by classed as "real time"? Confused
nachtwacht

This week someone talked to me about "poker time"

Never heard of that before but apperantly that is the time FT and Stars put in ther servers. Maybe in a few years this will become an official time Smile

Step DAAD

Yes this Forum is a seperate entity from Tag Poker. Its an .org....so since the US invented the internet ..It's safe to say the US time is the official time.
nachtwacht

The problem is just... there are something like 5 different US times Smile

No worrys dude....im sorry for being so naive ... Embarassed ...im sure all the rest of the world members on this forum now accept "US time is the official time"..

Just one question though ...that i dont understand...

Why is that its  official that England  invented "Football"...but you guys keep calling it "Soccer"?

The rest of the world dont have a problem with this Laughing
TheHUSNGDude

Yeh ..whats your answer to that clever clogs Laughing
Step DAAD

Actually, it was invented in approx 1004 B.C. There is actual text of this game being played around 50 B.C. And the first recorded match (ball filled with hair) was played around 600A.D. in Japan, Kyoto to be exact! So, since being officially sanctioned in England by 1681..after some King Edward's reign of England banned it,  you didnt invent it! You guys are just crazy nuts over it!!

And for calling it soccer....many other countries also call it soccer..due to the fact that we along with those countries already have the term 'football' being used.
nachtwacht

yeh .. whats your answer to that clever clogs Smile
Step DAAD

Actually there are Nine (9) time zones.



 Will there be any more learning you wish to do.  Razz
nachtwacht

I wish you would have been my teacher in kindergarten. By the time I would have been 10 years old I would have been a professor Smile
BetMagicMoney

so how can US time be officail if all the +hours and -hours are judged from Greenwich in england - the time zone the british are in is GMT(+0) <-- no hours add or removed!! whats your answer to that!!!!

Razz i like this thread, lol!
nachtwacht

Hmm... correct me if I am wrong... but isn't that half true ?

The UK is ONLY on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
from: 01:00 GMT Sunday 25 October 2009
until: 01:00 GMT Sunday 28 March 2010

So currently it is +1 Smile

What one of these 9 different times zones do we have to use for you to allow us to  host a shootout tournament? Confused
Step DAAD

So you decided to give up, change subjects? Perhaps, due to the lack of knowledge of your "invention"??

I for sure have given up.

Guys.. I just have been reconnected with hte forums... I need to trade someone a buyin with an FTP account, or UB account,

TY
nachtwacht

send me a pm (or anyone seeking a buyin) of you have not yet solved the problem.
Step DAAD

Come on guys .. only 6 people have signed up... almost not worth it...if there isnt more...  probably drop out too!!
nachtwacht

All members from the forum have received an announcement so we will just have to see... can imagine some people signing up at the latest moment but I don't expect that we will have 50+ people playing.

Hopefully some will show up and we can have some discussion about it in the forum and then next edition more poeple will show up.

Welcome to the site!! You will get the information either from PM...or if that takes too long contact any memeber myself included via skype for the info. GL

Welcome to the site. Password send through pm.

gl !

thanks I got your PM, but i couldnt get the password to work. I tried typing it and copying and pasting it from the message you sent me. I def had the right tourney and did all the usual checks (no capslock on etc), but it kept telling the password was wrong LOL!

Cheers
nachtwacht

Maybe I have typed it wrong in the message. I can't find my send messages to confirm unfortunatly.

Sending you a new pm. Please let me know if it is the same password. Then something else is wrong....
KeepRunning

I'm registered now

Thanks, the second one worked fine (words were transposed) so I'm in now. See you there on Sunday   Cool
nachtwacht

Not sure what transposed means but I am sure it means something in the line of "stupidly mixed around like only a donkey can do" Smile

See you on sunday !

If it had been on FT I would have played. I don't have PS account, and I don't wanna sign up just yet, because I want to take advantage of the sign up bonus at a later date.

Sorry, Good luck to all that take part though!
BetMagicMoney

Yer nachtwacht im thinking which woould be the best site to host this event on next time? coz alot of people don't have accounts on stars! hmm in fact im going to open up a poll in the poker lounge Razz
nachtwacht

Good idea.

FT I tried but they did not realy were helpfull. They are very slow if they do it for you at all. That is because you have to send an email to their support and then support has to create the tournament.

I heard bwin also has an option to create tournaments through your personal lobby. Not sure about that though.

So you are better off looking first wich sites actualy do have the ability to host your private tournaments. Makes a poll easier Smile
BetMagicMoney

opps didn't think about checking if it could be done :p ow well we'll just wait and see what the results are like! you can find the poll here Smile

You can open a Stars account and have someone do a player to player transfer ....this is not classed as a first deposit...so will not effect any sign up bonus.
nachtwacht

I actualy tried doing a transfer to someone that did just that but it failed. Have emailed support about it but so far no answer yet.
U Cook Socks

FT do do private tournaments because I have played in them on other forums. However I have no idea how easy/hard it is to sort out.
Step DAAD

Unregistered, due to lack of participation/interested members (6 people), kinda sad turn out.  Thanks anyway for organizing...perhaps in the future more will play??

p.s. may check back as see, hopefully over 20 would about rght!!
nachtwacht

Yes, I also expected a little more people. All members have received 2 emails now so that is not the problem.

It's not just playing the even though that should be interesting, I also hope that after the event there will be some discussion and HH reviews between members that played eachother.

Therefore hope that enough people will have registered to make you deside to come back and play.

I doubt though if it will be over 20. That would be roughly 15% of all subscribers... I can imagine a lot of people subscribed to the forum but are not active anymore. If half of the currently active people would show up, that would allready be a succes I would say. I have no clue how many active members there currently are but I don't have the feeling it's over 40....
Suspira

I'll play but i need to deposit so i'll check tomorrow if we have the numbers or not  Cool
TheHUSNGDude

Ive just checked to see how many have registered so far...8 at the moment and ive just seen i got notes on one of the guys:lol: ...what a small world hey..

The only problem is i remember the name  Shocked ...that means one of very few things...ive had a argument with the guy.....i just hope he hasnt got a pic of his children on his avatar as theres a high chance i would have asked him why his kid looks like a space alien...

I better not  mention who it is in case he unregisters  Laughing

Hello guys

Unfortunately I can not play the tournament today.

If you like football you will understand me. Today Benfica plays with Porto, deciding the championship, so I can't miss it.  Smile

The poker "career" is not going very well...stars and FT unplugged my run well stretch and I'm experiencing my lifetime downswing...tried to switch game mode and seems that nothing is running good any more.

Hope to see you guys later, best of luck for today and run good!!!  

Bye Very Happy

Ok.. Im good to go!

If people want to exchange HH, there is a nice tool that can merge them:

It would be cool to do some reviews with both players cards exposed.

1st game was by far the easiest vs Dom
2nd was pretty cool because i ran decent
3rd was cool until my AA got cracked haha

Really enjoyed it.

Thanks to Nachtwacht for organising it.

I recorded all my games so I'll see where I can host them.

Do I win a trophy or at least a special forum title? Smile
