    Here is what I am looking at gentlemen, taking into account what I have heard
    Feel free to add comments

    $50 Buy In
    NL Texas Hold
    One winner, five players or less
    Two winners, five or more ; 70 - 30 split
    First ten that sign up when I announce play each week, until we can get two tables
    Tuesday Night at 7:30 CST; this appears to work for all
    Currently having difficulties contacting BT from Ecuador; should anyone wish to attempt to handle this, I would be so grateful
    This will work
    The $100 donated by the great one will go to winner of week #1
    Thanks Guys

    PS - GOATS can you help set up if possible, if no one else is able?
    Thanks to all

    "The great one" Never been used in a sentence describing me. Worth every penny. I can reach out to them if Goats does not, just keep me posted. Tuesday night sounds great!

    I thought the plan was for Bookmaker

    It is Bookmaker

    You will have to have a BM account

    Suggestions: One table 10 players pay 3 spots 1st $250 2nd $150 3rd $100 with 10 players. The idea is to keep the players playing and paying 3 spots like all 10 player tournaments usually do. I'll play with a min of 9 players any less I'll pass. Your taking two tables and we haven't started with one yet how about letting it build into something that will last. There just suggestions.

    Okay so I spoke with Hector in the Poker Customer Service area. I was transferred to him from general customer service. He was very friendly but explained to me that providing customers with a private table or two goes against their security protocol. He explained that from time to time they'll allow sponsors to do a private tournament but that we wouldn't be categorized as that. I asked what it would cost for me to sponsor one if I provided all the payouts and he explained that I would need to send an email address up the chain of command. He provided me with an email address and I'll be sending an inquiry email shortly. Let ya fellas know when I hear back


    For what it's worth, I also called Ignition Poker and I'm waiting on a call back.

    Sent the following email to both sites.

    Hi there,

    A group of loyal customers to the website Bettingtalk.com is wanting to put together a private sit n go type tournament for this Tuesday evening at 7:30pm central time.

    We are looking at a $350 prize pool until we start to gain some traction with this. I've taken the responsibility to help organize this tournament site and will be responsibile for paying those playing. Or we can use money my account if you'd like to go that route.

    My account is:
    My phone number is:

    Please let me know what the next step is so I can relay to the guys. We also have an inquiry in with Bookmaker so this is slightly time sensitive.

    Thanks fellas,

    Ignition is willing to do it, are you fellas opposed to do it there? Doesn't sound likely at BM. If so, who are the 10 Okie?

    I believe Nevada is banned there. Bovada sold there poker software to Ignition Casino. Try to join just to see and I keep getting "page not found" It doesn't matter anyway wasn't going to join a new place. So good luck have fun should be a good time.
