Hey BC. I don't know of a site that will host a tournament without it costing you. May have a better chance to just try to get one table of people together at the same site. I play some at UltimateBet but I'm sure there are people here that know more than me. Either way I'm up for it.

Dear Keith,

Just send us the specifications of the tournament you wish to organize such as:

-Type of game (No limit, limit, Hold'Em, Omaha, etc)
-Buy-in amount (minimum must be of $5.00)
-Name of the event
-List of players who are going to participate
-Any other relevant details you'd like to add

Once we receive your message we will forward it to our Tournament Monitoring Department for their review. They will contact you as soon as possible confirming the status of this tournament.

Please contact us if you have any other comments, questions or concerns in the future.

i imagine at the very least there will be a rake. If you get a low buy in more people will probably play.

i would also suggest no limit hold'em because the action is fast and it wont take days.

Yahoo games has hold'em poker. You can create your own table and set it to private so it's not open to the public.
seats about 10... I think

http://games.yahoo.com/
it's under the card game category as Hold'em poker
You have to be or become a yahoo user (email account, etc...)
might be worth looking into!?

I went to yahoo but couldnt figure out how to set up the tournament..any volunteers??lets call it...pumpkin poker..or something like that..any body got any seeds to donate?? i dont have a single seed anyone would want to grow...not even myself...lol

Pumpkin Poker...I like it. Deal me in. This is just a thought, but wouldn't it be a good idea to charge maybe $5 to enter and use the proceeds to buy a good seed or two from an auction or one of the growers associations? In other words, if 20 people enter, that's $100; donate the money to a growers association in exchange for a couple of seeds.
Like I said, just thought...

i would be in, but i would hate to get in the game and then lose my aol connection in the middle of the game.
if there is anyway if this happens and i can still keep
my chips after rebooting i would be in for sure.
at worst in the down time i would be willing to lose
an automatic blind in my rotation for the 1 minute reboot
time.
