Title: Heads up tourney question
Post by: Hammerite on August 10, 2007, 11:02:05 AM
Hi,

I was wondering if the heads up tourney needs an exact amount of runners i.e. 64/128. For example if 135 runners will the last 7 players registered have their stakes returned as I have seen on some sites (Ladbrokes for 1) or will there be random byes to the next round. If anyone could tell me how it works on pokerstars I would be obliged.

Who is favourite for the HU title, who fancies their chances.

I play a lot of headsup, but I am definately not a contender for tonight. Max Ward is apparently good at HU. Anyone else we know of?

I"m actually rubbish at heads up but hoping to get kinboshi in the first round for an easy game. ::)

Yes one person plays against another.  You win, you play someone else who won.

No need to thank me.

Does anybody know?


straight knockout ala the FA cup

with the first round random byes so that no bye are needed in later rounds

everyone always starts with equal chips in each round

2nd round doesnt start untill 1st round is complete so if you win in 5 hands you could be waiting for over an hour for your next game

i always fancy my chances in any one off HU game but seeing as they will be a number of matches to get through i doubt i will get anywhere near the donger

What a cracker of a 1st round it would be to have JonMW and Kinboshi playing against each other....

Post by: George2Loose on August 11, 2007, 19:37:19 PM
Would settle for a bye.....

If your opponent failed to sit in at the start of the match would you sit out too and wait for him to show?

No.

Well, I might wait a minute or so - but the tournament needs to be played and everyone knows the start time.

I"m really looking forward to this tournament. Instead of having to beat loads of people, I only have to beat one at a time. Part of the fun is you don"t know who you"re going to be up against.

Anyone also playing the daily 50k at the same time?

Post by: APAT on August 11, 2007, 19:55:31 PM
I am genuinely surprised that there are over 100 players already registered for this.
Title: Re: Heads up tourney question

could take a while with the starting chips....

And ship the bye to the second round!!! Have I cashed???

I "m out, got far too excited on being dealt pocket kings, raise re-raise all in etc and of course he had aces.

I blame ericstoner - everything was going fine til he turns up in the chat box to wish me luck, next hand and bam - i"m out lol.

All the best to everyone left in, you can relax a little now in the knowledge that you wont meet me in round two  ;D ;D
