$100 or more possible buy-in

Wow ... what a scorcher it's going to be this week. Thankfully we'll be inside playing poker in air-conditioned comfort!

Wanted to bounce around an idea for a tournament. It would be a (preferably) 8-10 person tournament with a substantial buy-in ($100 or more). The game would be NL Hold-em. I'm resisting the urge to lobby for a H.O.R.S.E. event, as that tournament started today in Vegas at the WSOP.

The blind rounds would be 30-60 minutes or so, with plenty of starting chips, and would be an all day tournament.

Just wondering who would possibly interested in this? If we have interest to 16 people (doubtful), we could open it up to a 2-table format.

To tell you the truth, I would be willing to go up to $200 for a good game like this. Would like $20K in starting chips, blinds starting at 100/200, and blinds increasing enough to complete in about 9 hours max. Honestly I think that play would be a bit more aggressive and would finish up sooner, much sooner, than expected ...

It definitely wouldn't be until this fall, and probably winter, even after the first of the year ...

So you would prefer it to be a H.O.R.S.E. event as well then?

It might be difficult to find a lot of players who want to shell out $100 or more to play a lot of games they've never played before, especially all in one tournament.

Maybe have a $40 HORSE sometime so people can get a cheaper taste. For now, keep the big tournament NLHE, in my opinion.

I would for sure play in a NL Hold em tournament for $100 or even $200.

I would also play HORSE but would probably not be as willing to play for quite as much as I am not as Knowledable at some of the other games.......Yet lol
