this challenge is interesting but it is obvious that some players live on the net playing while most others have a life and can`t be online 24/7.  this gives an advantage to some   but I guess there is nothing that can be done to balance this out except some form of limited hands per day per player but the the site dont make as much money   LMAO

But you forgot that with only 5 fantasy cards (250 raked hands) you can be in better position then someone with 10000 raked hands :)

I'd like to see the team leader being able to kick people with 0 hands off the team!

How to kickoff a teamowner when he DONT play a single hand but just want the members to collect points for him?

Actually I was part of such team placed in the TOP10 (Danish Dynamite) but I left it 2 days ago because of that.

The best thing to do in this situation is to leave the team if you are unhappy. Team members cannot kick off the owner of the team. I think you did the correct thing when you decidedto leave your team.

It must necessarily be 10 in the team to reach the price or not?

No. But it helps when all of the members collecting points/raked hands.

I think some changes need to be made,about how the prizes are done ect.There is getting to less and less incentive to accumalate high totals of raked hands in order to get to a new fantasy hand.It takes the wind right out of your sails when a one player team with only one fantasy hand is suddenly beating you.We have 17,000 and the one person team 370 raked hands.Any changes in mind support??

Do it right the first time...

While I certainly see where you are coming from, the other side also has a point as well. Obviously, the more raked hands your team generates, the better your chances are for winning the challenge. Sure, someone can win a bunch of points with one hand, but the odds are very much in your favor. That should be your incentive.

That said, though, we would love to hear any ideas you have!

I think all members have the right to a chance to win something. Wink
So to borrow a saying french: Money goes to money
but certainly when less rich can win something then it is better.
And then as Simon said, you have money, you just play more and earn more "raked hand" and thus points.

The idea with the fantasy hands is actualy quite clever. The next hand could be a straight flush and let your team win.

It's an incentive for the weaker teams to keep playing even when the stronger teams are far ahead.

And the stronger teams are still favorites. This is like poker a mix of luck and skill.Cool

You make a very good point.When you see how far ahead in raked hands that the smokindonkeys have,if thats all that counted then most teams would quit trying to play catchup.BUT because the fantasy hands are the ONLY thing that counts for any monetary reward or tournament entry,then the teams that have very high raked hand counts but see nothing at months end for there commitments and dedication may not bother the next month.We will see at months end what feelings and ideas are out there.

Do it right the first time...
