I would like another treasure trap style table: at certain times of the day - you need more luck to click onto the TT table than you need to get decent cards once you get on.

One with a buy-in of $12,500 would be great - that way, for a full table, you would clear $50k profit, if you win it.

Given that you have to fight hard, over roughly an hour to get it ... it seems a fair pay out ... you can make than on the turbos in a lot less time. But at least you feel you have earned it.

One concept to spice up this fantasy tourney table is to start the blinds at level 2 or 3 ... this will bypass level 1 (big blind $15 and small blind $5 ... euhh); this will shorten the length of time a tourney will take - which no doubt is a factor that keeps some players away from playing tourneys?!

Level 1 shouldn't really be worth anyone's while getting involved ... but they still do:

It fascinates me how what I call FIRST HAND FEVER descends onto the tourney tables ... it rarely happens on hand #2 or hand #3 etc ... but hand #1 ALLIN-central !!!!!!!!!!

It is entertaining, and I've done it myself when I have AA, knowing players are just itching to pull the trigger on the first hand. It's hilarious. It does create a big stacked Ogre at the table, however, which brings its own dynamic.

First-hand-fever is a strange mini-bingo phenomenon, indeed.

.......but hey - sometimes its worth the risk:



You can tell this guy went all-in first-hand.

Yes, we need a new Treasure Trap table!! :D

nice one, Seph - I'm guessing there are a lot more out there that feel the same?

how about 25k buy in :)

Yes... 25... awesome... lol

25k buy-in... the winner gets 125k

yeah i agree 25k buy in sounds good :)

nice
i agree

they best one they even don't hav to buy another table, the one 3k buy in leave it like tht, 6k buy in change it to 25k so tht small stack can play as well

Wow? A $25k buy-in would get you $125k for a win - you win at that table 8 times only and you have a million.

Then, when somebody says "hey, I've got 4 million in my chip bank" ... everyone will say "So? Big deal !! What do you want a medal?". lol.

So, if you have a wildly huge buy-in - it'll just cheapen everything.

But, I reckon a little bit more than a 10k buy-in would still be cool.

more more more..what a greedy bunch we are...

yup, me too...another higher stakes one would be great...or a system of advanced registration (as in..you get in the room and register in a queue for the next game rather than the mad scury at the start)...I realize that this is unlikely since it would mean re-programming the leased software...

Here goes my whine again: I have a medium speed (satellite) internet connection because that's the best I can do in my remote rural setting. I only get into TT games when there is an empty seat after the registration blitz. I also can't stand as quickly and usually must wait a round before getting cards again on all the other tables. I offer this as the only possible explanation as to why I am not at the top of the leader board.

but bro - the bank of bento is still bulgeoning I bet?

Requests here, uh?

I´d like to ask if it´s possible to lose the chairs.

We really need beds near the table.oh, And a new fridge, pls.

Ty. :-)

Good job yall

I told you so not to sit on the old fridge...

the BofB may soon be in line for a bailout...i think manny has decent rates...

25K buy-in please, and name it the gold mine trap.

PandaFlesh great idea.
Bento great idea.

more more more..what a greedy bunch we are...very true bento.
why do we want the buy-ins to be big? its not real money lol.
is it for the sake of the leaderboard ?????
i can only imagine that it is!!
cmon guys, we all know the leaderboard doesn't credit you skill or reputation on this site, the people and their personalities do that here along with their reputation at the tables as a capable player.i know we all want to win and the amount of chips we have kinda shows how well we are all doing but i also know that the leaderboard is far from accurate at showing how good we actually are!!!!

anyway...
i played on a site couple weeks ago that was recommended to me, a site where you start with 10k, at first i thought it was cool.it was the same setup as this site more or less, same tables and graphics except 10x bigger buy-ins and starting chips.
i will admit i did enjoy slamming 10k down 2 mins after sitting at a table but that was it.enjoyment over!!!! the leaderboard was 400 million for top player wtf ??? tourny buy-ins were 100k.
( less and less real, don't you see? ) we dont want to be like that do we ?

my point......bigger is not better!!!!!!
if we had bigger buy-in for a new TT table then what would happen is players would flock to that table causing one of the biggest problems that we already have at the FPR....... no room at the table for the amount of players wanting to play. we would just be amplifying the problems we already have. also the 3k table would eventually be obsolete, the TT would then become the 6k table and the new 25k or whatever table would become the TT we have just now.
all that changes is just the numbers. the problems still arise.

if the TT is as popular as i know it to be then we need two of them......not a bigger one, not one with 2 and a half times the buy-in.
that's just for you fame seekers lol
you just wanna see your name on the leaderboad or higher up on it :P
this site is so different from others because of the atmosphere and the people ....not the amount of chips we have next to our names.

or are you just looking for a change? if so i recommend a new type of poker not a bigger stake!!! ok stud kind of didnt work at this site but there are others out there.

a drunken man tonight...lol ....peace

I would like a wheelbarrow to take chips away, I got an hernia on turbo 5 other night.

I would also like a lower chip table to help those less fortunate, in fact I think we should play for rhubarb, carrots and other delightful rewards.

chocolate chips?

one of the most insightful posts ive ever seen chronic

Hovis, I'm ROFL bro!!!!!

hovis - are you sure the wheelbarrow is for chips and not yer nads - after all they get a regular kicking when you come up against the timelords lol




Pic is of hovis and a full bag of chips
