So I just wanna do a cheap, fun tournament at my house...but with a decent structure. This is my plan for now.$10 buy in, $5 optional rebuy/add on.Starting chips: T1000.Rebuy/add on chips: T500.20 minute levels.5/1010/2025/50------50/10075/150100/200------150/300200/400250/500------300/600400/800500/1000Obviously I'm new to the tournament thing (creating my own, that is), and of course the tourney won't go up to the 500/1000 level with 1500 at max in starting chips (it's likely going to just be a 1 or 2 table tourney)...but how can I improve on this?

Hopefully that same amateur goes to the bathroom after moving all in."Wheres he going man?"

Its the type of thing ESPN would salivate over.

It would be amazing for him to win it. He's 17th out of 18 though...not looking good. Take it down, baby!

Poker has always suffered from the wrong guy winning tournaments.

Ya'll are straight STUPID with these Kobe comments. Did you see the Pau Gasol move he put on Kobe yesterday? Was that an "unnatural basketball move"? How about a million moves Bruce Bowen has made in his career? Are those suspension worthy?Anyway, I don't mean to muddy up JC's post...GREAT accomplishment man. 2nd place at a WPT event against the hottest player on the tour? Goddamn GREAT. Congrats.

Congrats on making the TV final table...good luck man, you're gonna need it vs. David Pham, Mark Seif, and JC Tran.

Damn that is a stacked final table. Good luck JC.

There've only been 4.Doyle BrunsonCarlos MortensenScotty Nguyenand now...Joe HachemWell done, sir. That's some good company to be in.

Damn, what a call.

LOL at THIS being the thing that turned you off to Republicans. And what will the non Vegas/AC/LA people do?

Did you hear that sound?That was the poker bubble bursting.

He's playing at Party 5/10 6 max.That's Party 5/10 6 max.Party...5/10...6 max.Good luck.

The only thing I agree with Andy on is DN did stoop kinda low with the "nutcase rants" comment.

He said it was in 2004, not 2005 - so it couldn't have been Hachem. General consensus around here is Annie Duke in the 2004 TOC.

Never stayed there...played there for awhile though. It's San Remo with a facelift and SR was always a dive, so it's kinda ehhh. It's certainly not far from the strip (basically shares a parking lot with Tropicana) and right within close walking distance to MGM, Trop, Excalibur, etc. Poker room is very small (2 or 3 tables) with a $1/$2 NL game with $50 min, $200 max buy in. It was pretty rocky when I was there.

This is probably a really dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway.If someone made a deal, say Annie Duke - who won $2 mil...and said deal does not show in her records..well, why would that matter? If she claimed she made $2 million but only made $1 million, isn't that just dumb on her end?

So uh, why don't you all take your AIM info off your profile?

2nd place, nice cash...but definitely work on your short stack game. Good job overall.

Keeds gut aleegator blood.

My thoughts exactly.I mean no offense, but with an M of less than 2, you push no matter what. You were playing fine with a bigger stack though.Alright heads up - take it down...this other dude's kind of a donk.New chipleader.Ouch awful beat.
