fleung22 1 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Okay...Daniel doesn't want us messing up his official thread for the Heads Up League so here's one where we can all be ourselves.Few things on my mind. Did only 50 some-odd people attempt to register for this?Was the $500 too much? What's your team? How many players you planning to have on the roster?...and why are YOU gonna win?!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Since I know that my country's in the minority here I am TEAM CANADA.My team consists of only myself and one friend 'cause I just don't trust anybody else. We're going to go with the hot hand system so if one guy wins then he gets to play again the next week. Lose and we switch....and we're gonna win 'cause Daniel's gonna brocolli FCP for a hometown boy!! Link to post Share on other sites

j2k99 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 personally, i found the $500 was a bit too high for my liking. i don't have the luxury of dishing out this amount. i think the only way was if i got a team of 10 so it would only equal to $50/person. as for trust, i agree with you fleung, i would only want to create a team with friends as oppose to random. good luck, take it home for canada!

Randy Reed 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm less Canandian than you. Umm well i'm not even Canadian but I do like Rush and they're Canadian, so there.Anyway, I have a team and since all the people I was going to ask to join also have teams, I went out on my own.My son and his friend, both afficionados have joined the Yangsters.

fleung22 1 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 Daniel Negreanu says: I'm actually up to 27 solid teams right now and will likely hold a vote for the remaining franchises that you guys can all vote on. The majority of the teams I chose to be a part of the league are guys that have been around FCP for a really long time.Here is what I'm thinking. Let me know guys if you see any that you disagree with or whether I've made some obvious omissions:1.Daniel Negreanu2.Darrel Derosie3.gilbertology Team Arenas4.Vatche The Degenerates5.Oziumrules Kings in The Hole6.Royal Tour "Oh you call I call?"7.custom36 Cheap Shot Artists8.dna4ever Beerains9.poguemahone68 Crazy 8810.seacucumber Boo ya11.kennyg1966 put up or shut up12.mcpickl HC Dukes13.JBradburn6 Bayside14.alf13 Alf's Room15.Zimmer4141 Zimmer16.HoosierAlum Hoosier's Heros17.RhinestoneCowboy Broccoli18.leftygolfer da Bears19.GWCGWC Lost Leader20.Naismith Unmentionables21.gobears Crunch Bunch22 chaosnhavoc 5150's23.Randy Reed Yangsters24.specbrad LOL'ers25.looshle Looshle's Losers26.copernicus Demented Avengers27.fleung22 Team Canada28.29.30.31.32.Remember, NONE of this is official, it's just what I'm throwing around in my head right now.I guess you ARE playing Royal...glad to see Canada with a few reps.

mr_english 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I would have liked to play but $500 was just to much for me.Also I would not want a team with a lot of players it kinda takes away from the HU feel.I would have prefered to just be me and/or one other, but even $250 is too much right now.

doublemeup 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 $500=too much. I'd like to have one for people that want to have a smaller buy in. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Reed 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Plenty of people are looking for partners in this and are selling shares if you still want in. Link to post Share on other sites
JBradburn6 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Unofficially, I have a team and I've gotten some PMS already so I have begun thinking about how I am going to run my team. I've come up with 2 options as far as adding team members.Option 1:Everyone basically buys a share of the $500 (i.e. you put up $100), and that person gets 1/5 of our prize money, would play roughly 1/5 of the matches, etc. I'm not sure how much I would keep, maybe allowing up to 4 others to put up $100 each and only keep $100 for myself.Option 2:1 or 2 people buy in as equal partners with myself. As team captain I would coordinate everything, but the amount paid and distributed would be equal, as well as number of matches played (as closely as possible). As far as choosing people, I would like it to be posters that I at least have heard of before but other than that I am not sure how the selection process will go. If someone is willing to put up $100+ of their own money I am assuming they pretty good poker players. PM me if you have any interest in joining my team, and let me know what you think about those options. Link to post Share on other sites
fleung22 1 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 $500=too much. I'd like to have one for people that want to have a smaller buy in. Any ideas?Yeah...I liked the original cost and proposed making each individual game worth $20 instead of $10 to make up for the low upfront cost.$200 seemed like the right price to me for a season... ...but seeing as I've had 4-figure swings in a day the $500 didn't seem so bad.I've got a plan for you guys who don't want to put up the whole amount...why don't you have a $50 SNG and the winner gets a franchise!

sixhands 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I am looking to join a team if anyone is interested.
