Official “Non Smoking is +EV” Tournament (Collin…

Hi guys, since i grabbed some free money for supporting our new non-smoking-member raise2much (more info's here: Quit Smoking Challenge) i wish to share this success with you. And the best way to do so is to give away a $5 in a special Non-Smoking-Tournament!! Pokerroom: Pokerstars $5.50 NLH with additional *$5 Bounty on our epic Guest Star Collin Moshman &spades;_biggrin: - kicked by HollyMichelle $5 Bounty on VorpalF2F donated by RasTweet, who unfortunately can't play by himself - kicked by Collin Moshman $5 Bounty on HollyMichelle - Winner $5 Bounty on FFRRAANNKKIIEE - kicked by HollyMichelle $5 Bounty on NijeVaznoKoSam :f_biggrin: - kicked by Jery666 additional $5 payed by Lazza61 to the Winner of this Tournament, if he get weak and touches any cigarette until he is not busted out of this Tournament (incl. breaks) - i guess he could resist!! Grats!! &diams; additional $5 donated by JCSeerup to the best suckout &diams; - we wait for official review &diams; additional $5 donated by tonypmm to the sickest herocaller &diams; - we wait for our official jurymember who have enough skills to check this out &diams; ...open here for his crazy rules please... &spades;_cool: SpoilerOriginally posted by tonypmm So I want the $5 to be given to the author of the sickest herocall! More precisely, 1. Eligible hands will be those that win the showdown after calling the last river bet/raise* and use at least one hole card, except for heads-up (with 2 players dealt into the hand) and blind-vs-blind (when everyone folds to the SB) spots. 2. The one with the worst [5-card] eligible hand* (among all played in the tourney) will win the prize. 3. In case there are two or more identical worst eligible hands, their holders will split the prize equally. 4. If there are no eligible hands [i.e. no one calls on the river AND wins the showdown], then I'll send the prize to no one :f_tongue: (so call me maybe :f_grin: ) So informally, the objective is to catch a bluff holding some rag hand like jack high, though a bluffcatcher like a pair of deuces will be also good if no one busts a bluff with even an ace high. 5. To compete for the prize, a player must opt in by posting a herocall HH - and the starting time of the hand - in this thread within 24 hours after the tourney finish. So informally, the objective is to catch a bluff holding some rag hand like jack high, though a bluffcatcher like a pair of deuces will be also good if no one busts a bluff with even an ace high. * To clarify, the hand that will take part in the comparison is the one that's picked on showdown by Hold'em rules, i.e. the best 5-card hand out of the 2 hole and 5 board cards. This will apply even if there's a worse 5-card hand made out of those 7 cards that still beats all opponents' best hands. Hands that don't involve a hole cards (i.e. 'playing the board') will be ineligible, i.e. cases when everyone seeing the showdown splits the pot playing the board won't count, as we can't speak of a bluff being caught in such a case. HU (and BvB) hands are excluded because ranges are too wide there and it would give an advantage to the last two people standing. Pots that are checked through on the river or are all-in before the river won't count either. Start: Saturday, 29.03.2014, 15:00 ET Tournament: 884127419 Tournament Name: Non Smoking is +EV Password: only on request I hope we will have an epic and funny Tournament with many participants - what should not be so hard, because i am a huge fish and to grabb this free money is quite easy :f_cry: Eligible for the Bounties are only PS-Member, who requested the password and have provided their Pokerstars - Nick personally via PM. *Sidenote: differently to the Announcement in the Pokerstarslobby there will be not only 1 Bounty!! So be prepared for a crazy Haunt!! &diams; To have it a bit easier for all who will earn a Bounty: please announce it here in this Thread (with Pokerstar Nick and Country/or explain how your Avatar look like - that we can identify you easier) , so if you kicked one of our Bountyholder he/she will send you per player transfer your $5. gl NVKS

Sure! Probably the best will be to say smth brief in the OP, like '$5 to the sickest herocaller, donated by HollyMichelle but handled by tonypmm, see <insert the link to my post> for rules', especially because I might update and clarify the rules several more times (but the last edit will be before the tourney starts, of course).

Sorry for the detailed T&C, I'm a nerd in that respect after reading T&C's of tons of promos of all the plethora of poker sites I've played at for the last 20 months :f_ugly:

In a nutshell, the worst of those hands that win the showdown after calling the river will win the prize. I.e. the objective is to catch a bluff with as raggy a hand as possible, smth like jack high :f_grin:

Go to Requests -> Find a Tournament in the Stars client and type in the tourney ID that's given in the OP, i.e. 884127419.

Oh, I must have misunderstood it, I thought he wouldn't be able to attend and wanted someone else to take the mark. It's a good news that he's still in. Then I'll of course put the prize up myself... but the 'donated by HollyMichelle' phrase will of course have to be left out then, and also I've updated your favourite rule 4 so that I keep the prize to myself if no one calls and wins the river

Handling will be indeed a bit difficult... I'll try to observe other tables and track bluffcatchers, but to ensure that no epic herocalls are missed, I think players should 'opt in' itt within 24 hours of the tourney finish by bragging their herocall (posting the HH). I'll record all the tables of the tourney and verify the HH using the video.

Lol, you'd better also throw a link to my post because I've been updating the rules like crazy :f_biggrin: E.g. an opt-in procedure (clause #5) has just been added to them (to make my life easier).

I'm behaving like at utter eurosite here :f_rolleyes: (Recall how partypoker changed the Points Hunt terms halfway through... at least I swear to finalise the rules asap before the start, I just need players' feedback in case they find some unwanted exploits of the rules.)

Hopefully the recent update of that crazy post of mine is the last. So you can safely add clause #5 (opt-in) into the quote for reference in the OP and stop caring about it for good. Sorry for messing with you.
