As was widely reported, there was a private fcp tourney in vegas last month, where the winners gained entry to a WSOP event and the losers retained a small stake in those winners. This was a great idea not only because of the opportunity to play against such a soft field, but also because it was fun to have someone to root for in the WSOP event -- naturally this energy is what helped Zach to his temporary position as 11th best limit hold'em player in the world.
Anyway, I was thinking -- why not do an online version of this? Like $10 buyin, with at least 20 entrants, winner take all and plays in the sunday million with losers getting a percentage of the spoils? 2% maybe so when this person wins we all get 3K? Maybe it's too difficult to implement, but just thought I'd throw the idea out there to see if there is any interest. If there was enough interest, I could do the organizing.

Negreanu commented when the hands were shown, "Booth is a retard."
Booth then said, "It was an advanced play."
Laughing, Negreanu replied, "Whatever, you're a retard."

I hear you ted, but I think $10 may be better since it gives us a chance to pick up more people who aren't sat'ing in in other ways. Seems like there is already a good amount of interest, so everyone who wants to play please make your opinions known on the details - e.g. buyin size, percentage stake in the winner(s).
Also -- anyone know will PS let us set up a tourney this way or will we have to deal with the prize pool ourselves?

I think so. Although it would suck if somebody had a huge cash and then vanished.

Fudge cookies this would be sweet. I'd say make the buy-in $10 and give a weeks notice so I can get some money somehow and play in this. Brilliant idea though.

LOL, Jonas is such an organizer.
Ummmm.....I am guessing they will let you set up a private tourney as a sat if you email them. I don't see why not.

If it is at a time when I can play (i.e. weekends and not too late) I'm definitely playing. $10 or $20 are both fine with me.
