At the very beginning of the creation of this forum, the administrators had an idea to have private tournaments exclusively for our forum members. We preliminary contacted some poker rooms (for example PokerStars) regarding such tournaments. The answer was that there would be no problems with that.

Now, some of our members reminded this idea and we are willing to go forward. However, we need to decide some important things before the next step:

1. In what poker rooms do you play (which ones would be acceptable to you).
2. What kind of tournament should it be (heads up/ sit & go, or something else)?
3. What entrance fee would you be willing to pay?

Looking forward for your suggestions and ideas. Are input will be valuable!
:)

Thanks for a quick answer.
I'm playing at triobet right now. But it won't be a problem to open an account in other room.
Would like to play Sit-and-go tournament. Buy-in should be under $30.
I prefer Freezout tournament.

It would be great to try a private tournament with the members of this forum.

1. Right now I play only PokerStars.
2. S n G tournament would be best.
3. 5$ - 50$

Sounds like an option. I'll create an account at full tilt after my vacation and then we can discuss this option further...

Guys, how many forum members have HOLLYWOOD POKER account?
We could easily create a private tournament there if enough people would have an account at this poker room.

Very easy to create...
Easy to use...

You're not gonna believe this but Thrash is absolutely right!
What an ironic situation, but Hollywood Poker does not accept US players :o

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Welcome to Hollywood Poker's Customer Service. Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
You have been connected to Stephanie.
Stephanie: Hi Rimvis! How may I help you?
Rimvis: Hi! I was wondering if US players accepted at HP?
Rimvis: I think they should be, but just wanted to check :)
Stephanie: US players can play here, but I"m afraid that all real money play is suspended for USA
Stephanie: US players can play for free money only here
Rimvis: really?
Rimvis: So how do the "stars" play?
Stephanie: the stars are playing here by invitation
Rimvis: ok. thanks for your help
Stephanie: you're welcome<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

That's really funny, Hollywood Poker does not accept anyone from Hollywood, unless you have a special invitation :D
