Hi Tikay...
Private Tables
I was a bit shocked when I Posted "fancy some online acttion?" one night & we filled half a dozen SNG's in about 3 minutes! A bunch of us messed about in SNG's for an hour or two, & had a ball. I gather this has been happening through the week, too, though sadly, I've hardly been at home all week. I'll give it another try tonight & see what happens, but that's EXACTLY how I see it working.
But it DID highlight the problem of not having Private Tables. Clearly many of us want to have some fun with our blonde buddies, so by the time we have sussed what table we are "invading" half the seats hve been taken by non-blondes.
I discussed this with Dave last night, & he suggested I ask them to give us a bunch of Private Tables, "if you don't ask you don't get" was the thrust of his comments, & so I will ask. I shall also ask if we can have SNG tables, $5 & $10 to start with - say, every 15 minutes during the evening. If "yes", then we will monitor progress over the next few weeks, & then add more or take some off, change the buy-in, whatever.
Flushie said that he would be amazed if this were possible on Tribeca, and I agree with that... for ages we've wanted private tables and it just hasn't been in the software.
The closest I reckon you could come to it without the techies taking a hammer to the coding (yet again!) would be to institue some MTTs, BlondePoker skin only,
with maximum 9 players - and as you say, put them on at regular intervals during the evening.
That way, if anyone wants to play a 'STT', and they know when it starts, then people from here could register on a first come first served basis.
I assume that's what you meant, anyway!
blonde only Tourneys
At the mo, it's my job to send them a list of our proposed blonde Tourneys a few days in advance - say, every Thursday for all of the following week. I have not done that yet this week. We kinda feel that it's like a new toy, we need to see how it works, fiddle with it, find out what we can & can't do, & most importantly, see what YOU want. So let us know what you want, & we will see if it's possible. So, as things stand, I have not booked any blonde Tourneys for next week yet, but if time permits, & we make up our mind what we want, I will. But the longer term plan IS to have regualr, scheduled, blonde-only Tourneys. We are happy to have them weekly, every other night, every night, twice a night, we will just react to what you want. So let us know - when, how often, what buy-in, etc.
Would absolutely love a proper Omaha Hi Lo tournament.
Omaha Hi Lo
Freezeout
Limit (NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT Pot Limit)
decent blind levels i.e. 12 mins minimum.
Am flexible about the buy-in, I'm assuming (from what I read from everyone else's posts) that it will be in the $5 - $20 bracket, which is fine with me.
I have said before that Omaha is under-represented on Tribeca. Well, even Omaha Pot Limit (High) is catered for now to a certain degree with Blue Square's weekly $5 rebuy (12 min blinds) tourney.
Omaha Hi Lo is lagging behind.
The only Hi Lo tourneys in the main tribeca schedule are 8 min blinders and I just don't want to play 8 mins if I can help it...
So, my vote goes for an O/hi lo freezeout. If you build it, I'll play it.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
