Win a package on Blonde !

[treefella]

Idea I have..... Start a weekly / monthly raffle for poker packages. Like hotel travel and entry. Split the profit with blonde/ charity ?
Buyers can pay  by stars or cash dependant on comp / package being up for grabs.
Each entry gets a unique two card poker hand drawn at random and posted up b4 the live result.
The winning hand is from a live comp such as the Sunday mill.
So it could be the first flop dealt at Nigdawgs table...for example 35 6ccc .
You can only win from your hand being the best after the flop is dealt . So if you had 47 cc you win .
Any ties would go head to head on the next flop with their same cards and so on until we have a winner.
You can purchase up to ten hands.
 So let's say we raffle a DTD £500 deep stack with £60 travel and one night in the plaza. Total costs £700. Hands sell at £10 each.  We need 70 to sell to cover costs. Any monies over each week by the finish time go to the forum / nominated charity. Previous weeks winner nominates the cause.
Eg. Joe has 2 entries .
Gets drawn & 2 s2 d
  Entries close at 725 pm Sunday.
Nigdawg sits at million table that starts at 730 pm
Being a big nit he folds but two callers see a flop on the very first hand dealt .
We all rail to see Ac2sKd flop dealt . Exact matches are counter fitted
so in this example Joes  best hand is 2 dAc  and not 2s2d2s

Flame Away  

Any tweaks ideas to add welcome

I actually really like this idea and think there could be some incred sweats come Vegas time. Obviously it's nice to give back to the forum/charity but any left others is a bit steep, would probs just roll it on to another package.

'sat lotto' or 'satellite lottery' are the names I would be trademarking.

Obv would need to be independently adjudicated so we don't see a spate of AA, can easy knock up a programme to pick 2 random cards and could maybe stream it over team viewer or something.

love the name ' satellite lotto '
could see this gathering momentum in the run up to vegas for sure. Maybe any overs each week to go into the vegas pot.
Would still like to some sort of charitable donation though, maybe at christmas or something.
Let's hope we can get another 100 or so punters involved !
I read somewhere that Blonde has twenty thousand odd members surely this is a great start !
Also this idea could end up on stars or similar . Click lobby ,satellite lotto , flip for a package ?
I remember how much fun it was when Simon used to do the ten handed flips for a seat just before the main event would start in DTD lol

Think it's a great way to get the whole blonde community to have a fun sweat each week for not a lot of outlay

[Killerkilsby]

Why not give a set % of winnings from the event to a nominated cause

[George2Loose]

Why do the flop only and not the first whole board? More rubs potential

[TL900]

this sounds awesome with some tweaking. defo in

[treefella]

Why not give a set % of winnings from the event to a nominated cause

sounds better i agree

[treefella]

Why do the flop only and not the first whole board? More rubs potential

Dont always see the whole board. Can guarantee to see  a flop though.Also inevitable to have a lot more counter fitted cards .
Agree though , if the whole board was played  would be a lot more exciting / tilting lol

[George2Loose]

That's why I'm saying first full BOARD. So if you just see a flop it doesn't count. So rubs factor would be if you had 74cc on 653 and the guy folds the turn it's a huge rub for the guy with 74

[Ant040689]

Would be in for something down the line

[dan]

Sounds like a good idea I would be interested in a weekly or monthly draw

[Junior Senior]

Sounds good. In.

Personally prefer first full board.

Maybe pick random table or always table 1 rather than a table with someone known to us on

[bobby1]

This looks a great idea.

[The Camel]

I like the idea in principle.

But what if your hand is  and the flop comes  ?

Have you got two pair or a void hand?

[titaniumbean]

each entrant can have a couple of hands 'drawn'.  if their first drawn is void then they play their 2nd etc if they void all 5 obv u lose
