Right i think there are several questions we need to go through, as those who play in the above events it seems to be getting less and less runners each month so i thought i would start this thread so we can all discuss it and maybe propose ways to move it forward.
How Often do you want to play the above games? Weekly/Monthly etc
What Type of game would you prefer? NLH/Omaha whatever
What is your preferred buy ins? Both for the Main monthly games also whether you will play lower?
Would you play a freeplay tourney to maybe get more people playing after a practice game?
What day is best for you to play and time?
My main question: Those that used to play regular at the beginning(i wont name names), for what reasons if any do you not play anymore? eg. too expensive, bad day etc and whether you would in the future be looking to join the odd tournament etc

$5 to $10 is okWould you play a freeplay tourney to maybe get more people playing after a practice game?
I don't mind playing free-rolls for leaderboard points tbh. We don't have to play for real money when there are leaderboard points to win!What day is best for you to play and time?
Sunday 8pm is good but happy to move to any day to accomodate more players.
Definitely NLH ( and not heads up thanks)
Sundays and Tuesday's are good 8pm ( cant make them all due to shift work)
I would like bigger buy ins - $20 ex - but I'm not sure everyone will be up for that.
Perhaps start a new summer points table also?
i don't think the price is the issue but am happy to play any stakes if you can get numbers up.
tourney freeplay can be crap as players sit out a lot (forgotten registration or whatever) as they dont lose anything and you are left stuck and bored waiting for the table to close so that you can get on with playing again (a bit like heads up)
midweek is miles better for me as i can at least pretend that i am working rather that sitting in with the family.
How Often do you want to play the above games? Fortnight or monthly
What Type of game would you prefer? Holdem
What is your preferred buy ins? 11 is fine - will play any buyin 5 to 20
What day is best for you to play and time? Quite late at night. 8-10 PM. Any day is good.

Monthly for main tourney others can be arranged as and when amongst members if contact details are exchanged
What Type of game would you prefer? NLH/Omaha whateverNLH and I would like an occassional haeds up if well supported
What is your preferred buy ins? Both for the Main monthly games also whether you will play lower?
Any amount but up to about $16.00
Would you play a free-play tourney to maybe get more people playing after a practice game?Yes I think that is imperative as a turnout of 13 out of 53 something must be wrong
What day is best for you to play and time?I am available most days and times
Finally someone like Sadie should hold a database of contacts for future tourneys so as not to rely just on announcements in discussions
I think thats a very good idea ellis, thank you all for your feedback. also if you have any questions do feel free to ask eg. if your new or you want more detailson the CL poker club
Lets see if we get any more posts
What is your preferred buy ins? Both for the Main monthly games also whether you will play lower?I have a low income so would prefer it not to go higher that the $11 however may play the odd higher game if it wasn't too high. would play any stake lower.
Would you play a freeplay tourney to maybe get more people playing after a practice game?Yes. For leaderboard points, so people still play seriously and not sit out for ages, Think it may get some newbies interested also some not so good players that can't afford to lose stake money.
What day is best for you to play and time?any day, as late as possible prefer 8.30 starts to 8.00, wouldn't mind 9pm kids real hassle for me if too early.
I would happily do this if everyone wants to inbox me their personal emails, facebook, twitter or moblie numbers, I will then inform everyone when tournaments are set up and also remind them.
How Often do you want to play the above games? Weekly/Monthly etc - Weekly
What Type of game would you prefer? NLH/Omaha whatever - I like /play all the games so would like to see a HORSE tourney also 5 card draw but I still dont mind NLH
What is your preferred buy ins? Both for the Main monthly games also whether you will play lower? I dont want to play lower than $10 but i will do if that is what's decided.
Would you play a freeplay tourney to maybe get more people playing after a practice game? Not sure poker is not the same when there is no money involved but i would play in an attempt to get more people to join in.
What day is best for you to play and time? Any after 8pm
aka neil - addick
Would play weekly
NLHE is my favourite format
Prefer Mon - Thu (generally been on the lash by 20.30 Sun)
Would much prefer lower stakes - think would get more participants
Would play a one off freeroll if deemed it would help - why not make it 0.10 buy in though to try and replicate real life a bit better
I'd play regularly (I play at pokerstars most nights anyway) but the earliest I can start is 9 p.m.
Happy with any stakes between $5 and $30
Maybe more would participate if it was say a $5 buy-in - definitely agree with Neil that Mon - Thur is more likely to get people in as well. Needs to be NLHE as well as that is the most commonly played.
there are 2 separate leaderboards, real money and play money, so if it were just play money we could play for leaderboard points rather than as low as 0.10 with nothing to play for (can't really make that a leaderboard game upset to many real money players who want real stakes)
this is interesting we're sort of stuck between 2 price bands, maybe a trial run for both 1 at $5 another at $15 what does everyone think? we could do them on the same night, some people will play both and some maybe just the lower, it could add a bit
in regards to freeplay usually i would agree and i dont like them but as its CL it will be quite clear people should play these properly also a new leaderboard aswell so bragging rights get in it
going along nicely so far everyone, i thank you for your input keep up the good work. We all just want a better tourney with more players so hopefully we can get there
Another thought - I am in the low stake corner, I rarely stake more than 10% (except for CL) of what I have in 'the bank' . Dont have $100 slushing about that often tbh - what % of the 53 ? members do you reckon have ?
Also, it is pretty obvious from the leaderboard that the vast majority are going to struggle to get in the dough plus peoples stake preferences as mentioned on here - some are nose bleed country for me - means the likes of me are slinging away $11 each month to keep the CL poker club going.
Would love to play with 25/ 35 having a pop at $4-6 (can we make it sterling on home games ?)
Cheers, Neil
A nice point there mate, i dont really play on PS so my role on there has always been between $10- $90, i generally only play these games and the odd Sit n go, in theory you should only be playing 5% but it depends on how comfortable you are playing in higher stake games, i dont mind and can always reload and also feel i am confident of cashing/winning aswell. I currently have $70 on PS so it could easily be gone in no time :P
On another site i was between £100-£600 but withdrew £400 + in last month or so which is good, but now i have bust that account from £150 left in there so i have to wait till i can redeposit it sucks
Again i re-iterate i think maybe if we get 2 seperate tourneys maybe if we can do 2 leaderboards?? then there should be a $3.30 one for lower stakes and maybe $11-$16.50 for a higher one then hopefully we wont be missing out on much peoples price range
I did state thats cool having a league which accomadates regardless of the stakes, perhaps i wasnt clear but innitally i thought maybe we can have seperate ones
Sundays good for me so happy with that if it falls on a bankholiday do people want to play it on the Tuesday? or the week after
I am happy to play the mid games maybe if we mix and see what is more popular eg. start with $6 standard then maybe $3 and see what has more runners. I think the majority on here are playing for fun and to mix with fellow charlton supporters so i hope we would get more in the lower one
dont think wer need to clog the board with poker threads though if we do weeklys as i'm sure that they are somewhat tedious for everyone
