Calling out all pokerplayers

edited July 2009 in Community Suggestions

Hi guys,
its me again. I hope very much that you are all fine and dandy and that you are getting the max out of your poker playing experience.
`
you may have seen my other post `Star Skypoker player` and some of you have given some great comments and suggestions which have been very interesting and thought-provoking-thankyou all.

however, i have created this new post (although it is linked to the above) as i would like to now hear your suggestions for tourneys that you think would be fair (or as fair as what can be reasonably expected) to determine this year`s Star Skypoker player 2009.

Many Thanks

In the meantime, may i wish you all lots of luck and some laughs at the tables!

lots of love

Candi xxxx

    Well it would HAVE to be a deepstack tournament to remove as much luck/variance as possible.. How players would get into the trny i dont know... possibly a kind of "knockout" all players willing to play in it get put into say 5 different trnys (entry dependant) and then top 3/4/5 again entry dependant, go into the main final

    I dont think there can ever be such a thing as "Best Poker Player" determined by one event - even just keeping it simple there is cash and tournaments. Within tournaments you have STT and MTT and then within each of those there are variants - someone could be a brilliant STT player and someone else a brilliant MTT player but it doesnt make one the best player just because they play more games or higher stakes or whatever.

    The only way to do it would be to have lots of different categories for each variant of poker and it would become quite laborious then.

    Hi hunni and thankyou for your thoughts.

    I know what your saying, there are many different types of players, tourneys, etc i know. But what i have in mind is a very relaxed and fun type of poker that is fun as well as challenging. Maybe we could have an award for the differnt types of tourneys?

    In the meantime take care and i wish you all the best on the tables

    lots of love

    Hi Candi,
    It would be great to be involved in this type of tourneys.

    Due to the diversity of play perhaps you could set up a monthly or weekly medal league with the first month being deepstack, second month speed, third month bounty, fourth month sit an go then cash etc etc and then all winners go into a final perhaps heads up.

    What do you all think?

    A possible way of doing it wolud be something like a decathlon where each player entered has to take part in each different event (cash, stt, dym, mtt, deep etc etc) and then gets awarded points based on their finish - that way the best all round player should come out on top.

    This idea is coming up time and time again on the forum... i think it will be very succesful.. i started a thread called WSOSP (world series of sky poker) with the same idea... this has also just been brought up in the £500 deepstack league thread, where we shud have a mixture of events... this is definatly something for sky to look at as its been mentioned so many time in different threads..!!! .. Please mr Sky_Rich could you look at this and forward it on to Bernie etc etc.. :-) ..

    Hi all,

     

    Rich has given me a new moniker, Mr Poker….but I think I’ll stay with Bernie!

     

    Anyway thanks for all your posts and idea’s which are always welcomed. We are currently looking at different types of tournament formats we can run over the next few months and we  will be trying to build on the great fun you all had in the SCOOP festival run last year. I promise I will keep an eye this and other threads to ensure all your suggestions are put into the poker pot.

     

    So please keep the ideas / suggestions coming and I promise I will update you all once any decisions are made.

     

    All the best,

     

    Bernie
