many of our number have never played live. a low buy in poker comp with a cash prize with fellow blondites would be very appealing. I thought you were being sarcastic when you suggested no buy in at all. I personally wouldn't mind that but I think a low affordable buy in would be a more rewarding experience for all.

Lol no, i am being serious. £30 will price people out aswell, so if the am is truely to get as many involved as possible then no buyin with a small pool put up by a sponsor or blonde would be the best option.

A trophy maybe enough.
Those with wallets can set up games after the "biggie"

Free would be fine for me. But I dunno how people would play if that was the case. From what I've read some people see recouping their expenses as quite a high priority, so if £100 STTs are available then I wouldn't be surpirsed to see people dump off their chips in order to get some "real action".
Maybe £30 would breed the same attitude, but it would at least give you a little incenstive to stay in.

Personally, I want a buy in...a £5 note would do! Not to recoup expenses or fund my retirement, just cos I'm competitive and it will concentrate the mind Apart from that.....  |

When I play poker with my friend at home tell him it's against my religion not to play for money. I keep all his pound coins wit my chip set.  |

I agree, a cash prize is necessary but it doesnt need to be huge. I would imaging a £30 buy ijn would easily produce a £1000+ 1st prize which would be a welcome cash injection to many of us and a cost coverer for ALL.

Adam £30 to some is less relevant to others. By having it as free we are all on an equal footing.

even if it's a tenner I think it has to be for money. I'm keen for it to match as many peoples pockets as possible but I think no stake is too far. I would still play it though and would rather it be £0 than £100

My point is, some people will be comfortable at £100 but a lot wont so thats fair, not £100.
Some will be at £30, a few wont be, and then some will not bother.
At £0 no-one has a diffrent perspective, we all know its purely about the honour of coming 2nd to me...i mean trying to win.

Just a thought
Low buy in with heavy action on the last longer bets?

but what I'm saying is that those that 'won't bother' for £30 are missing the point. Those that want to lock horns with the pros at an affordable buy in tourney will want paying if they win. It doesn't have to be much but as you know, poker is a game of skill where we use money to keep score.
When Brian Wilson gets his HU rematch against me I'm sure he's not expecting to play fo much money but I'm sure I'll get his A game, even if it's for £10.

Same as those who 'won't bother' for £0 |
