No not colluding. I figured this is where we get the most traffic and what not.
Ok onto the idea.
So I was thinking about a little concept the other night. This is COMPLETLY hypothetical. I will use the names of BTP posters just to have this make sense and what not.
Feb 1st (not actual date), 2 teams are created hopefully evenly matched where they compete to out earn the other team. The requirments are no limit on # of hands played, no bonuses/rb are included. The losing team at the end of the month pays the other $xxxx. Would have to be a large sum for this to be worth while/split over x amount of ways so it isn't THAT bad.
Ex.
BTP Turds
12r
WTG
Xaston
UA
Allstar
kennyg
BTP AWESOMES
Godlikeroy
shamdonk
iceman
Trump34
shobute
h2t
The point is to increase 'friendly' competition, chatter, our WRs, advice, and I don't know about you but I need to play way more.
I think this will be fun/good for the community. I would like to hear about pros/cons for this idea because I have been thinking this through. I understand limits played will greatly influence teams and such. Also people may not be happy with their team either. I wonder if 4-5 people could = shobute, etc.
Anyways... what do you have to say and who would be interested in doing this?

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

I like this idea
there are some issues of course
are you saying win rate? or actual dollars? and do tournaments count?
will be some issues when someone cashes in a $200 tournament? also what if I take a month off and play 60 hours a week while everyone else plays 20?
Kenny could win my monthly total in a day with the limits he plays
I think it could work, it is a neat idea, but I think bankrolls, limits played, tournaments, and hours plays really would make this tough unless you set some guidelines.
and depending on those guidelines I would be interested

Then what's to stop someone from dropping to NL $5 and getting 25ptbb/100?
Perhaps have 2 leagues, one for small stakers, one for mid-high stakers?
TY for the red text sham

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
