All you need to do is join the channel and play a game. You'll figure it out. :)

Stacks start at 5000 chips, blinds are 100/200. Blinds go up by 50 every 10 or 5 minutes depending on server. --- What doesn't manage to kill you... has made a tactical error.

How do you plan on doing the final table - One winner from each for a five person table, or an extra four that can "buy back" when they're eliminated, or perhaps even the people in second place at the tables, while the last table to finish doesn't let the second place person play to encourage fast gameplay?

If anyone is allowed to buy back in, it will be the second place on any given table allowed to buy back into the final table.

I just want to let all the people know that used the Axe servers that Curzon Dax has done what he refers to as a hostile takeover. I really have no issue with Curzon and the rest starting up their own servers and runnin their own thing. I do have issue with them shutting down Axe Hold'em without any communication to me and while the owner of the channel is deployed in the military. Axe Hold'em will continue to have servers by request, for now until we can regain control of the channel.
This post is just a clarification that Axe Hold'em is in no way affiliated with Eve Online Hold'em, this tournament or the servers they are using.
Good luck to everyone in the tournament.

Steel Rat:
You created a great thing with the Hold'Em servers. I hope that you profited immensely from the rakes that we've paid you, and you've done a landmark thing for the poker community that won't be forgetten.
I've been your man since you opened the Axe servers to the community. Any of the players will testify that I was the only banker around 90% of the time. I ran everything. I recruited other channel ops and bankers to try getting us 24 hour coverage for games. Basically, I did all the work, you got all the pay.
Half the time, one of the servers was lagged out. The other half of the time, one of the servers was broken. I'd send you an EVEmail asking for you to bring it back online, and days or weeks would go by without a response.
A month ago, I announced the Eve Series of Poker - I had your word that you would be there to support it. Registration was open for a month, and in that entire time, I never heard a peep from you.
Two days ago, I made a decision. Table #1 was in a virtual state of lag, table #3 was broken, I was supposed to be hosting a huge poker tournament on the weekend. I contacted a couple of the regular players and after some serious work, ended up with stable servers on stable internet connections. We even have server support. We can check for duplicate IPs. We can shift the blinds. We haven't had any lag on any of the servers yet. But if it happened, we have admin support to fix it.
It was necessary. I'm sorry that you had to hear about it like you did, but I was taking steps against your stopping this from being a peaceful transition. Like I said - you invented a great thing for the community, but ran it abysmally.
Now, we have stable servers. The bankers get to keep part of the rake now, and don't shy away from banking because of how hassling it is. The players were revolting over the blind schedules and how slow games get at the end, and we got that fixed. Just things like that. They kept cropping up.
I'm really sorry - I am. I don't run the new servers. My intent wasn't to cut you out and take over, because I haven't. Instead, I asked someone else to take your place. We can't do these kind of activities without infrastructure support. Without stable servers. That's why I took over - I needed to find someone capable of providing better service.
I hope you join us for a game sometime.

And Steel Rat - I'll return control of the channel to you in a day or so. I just wanted to make sure that the regulars - the people who I've been serving, who don't know you - to get shuffled into the Eve Online channel.

Have to say that whilst curzon does a good job, in this instance i feel rather let down.
Just returned home after 9 hours in the hospital due to falling down 2 flights of stairs and screwing my knee up, and recieve a message from curzon via skype to let me know that I had missed my game (didnt realise games were being played today, and talk to curzon just about every day and he never mentioned it, but i guess its my own fault for not checking the thread every 5 minutes.. mainly as im not a forum troll)
Informed curzon what happened.. he asks if im ok, then says i can buy into another game if someone doesnt show... for another entry fee...
So needless to say im pretty fracked off right now.. and well.. guess its a perfect ending to a REALLY ****ty day.

WC, you're a good guy and a corp mate, even if you're a whiney wench sometimes.
The schedule was released last night, 24 hours prior to the start of the first game. You weren't online last night, nor online anytime between when I released the schedule and today so even if I had sent you an EVEmail you wouldn't have gotten into your game.
The announcement said when the schedule would be released - its been there for a month. You've known for an ENTIRE month when the schedule would be released. All you had to do was check the thread and you would have seen when your game was. Its not my job to babysit you or anyone else. Everyone else seems to have no issues getting to their games. I had one "Sleep was more important." <shrugs> Not my fault.
If you can't muster up the responsibility to take note of times and dates that you've committed ISK to, that's not my fault either. I'm not your mummy.

Perhaps you missed the bit about the hospital?
For some reason, I've been trying to fight the realization that you're kind of a turd. You're making it increasingly difficult.

Yes, I can understand being in the hospital. However, his Skype to me was "Well, you didn't send me an EVEmail" as if its my responsibility to see that he gets to his game on time.
*EDIT* Yes, this is about the Skype conversation. He didn't say "Hey man, I was in the hospital, can I have a refund? Sorry that I missed it." I would have refunded him.
He said, "Well, you didn't send me an EVEmail about my game."
That's what my post is about. Kitex.....eh, meh.

Actually curzon... do tell the whole story..
Coversation started with dodiez and me telling her what happened. You then messaged me asking if i was ok.
I said i was fine (ish) and that dodiez had told me i missed my game, so i said that i assumed i was out.
You then went onto what you had sent to the mods regarding whinescream calling you a scammer etc etc etc
then you went on, and i quote
[06/10/2007 21:52:20]Curzon Dax says:"If you want to buy into a different game, you can. Basically - if people don't show up, I let their slots open to anyone else who wants to buy in [06/10/2007 21:52:58] Curzon Dax says: Game #7 starts in an hour [06/10/2007 21:53:04] Curzon Dax says: If all nine don't show up, you can buy one of their spots.
I didnt ask about a refund, becuase, quite honestly, I know what you are like regarding money.. but you didnt offer one either... instead, knowing the circumstances, and knowing i was half-stoned on painkillers, you said that i could buy in (with another 54mil) into a game that started an hour later...
No offence curzon, but dont try to make me out to be the bad guy...
You could so easily have turned round and said "****.. you gonna be able to play, or want your money back?" but you chose not to.
The evemail thing?? i did not accuse you of not sending one.. I asked "Did you send me an evemail letting me know when my game was" as when i entered i had not stipulated a time or date... I asked this in case you had sent me one, and i had missed it.. so dont try and twist my words, or make them sound out of context...
As for not knowing the game was happening in the first place... thats a non issue.. I already said it was my own fault for not reading the forum and being a forum *****. However... we both know that if my fall hadnt occured, I would of been online, and thus it would have been negated, as the usual "your game is starting.. are you playing" message would have happened.
But heh.. Ces't La Vie... we learn from what happens, and I have certainly learnt from this.
</rant>
If you want me to post the WHOLE skype convo, i will do...

*sigh* Didn't really want to go here, but if you insist. =p
[10/6/2007 4:55:35 PM] DJ Pugg says: did u send me an evemail lettnig me know when my game was? [10/6/2007 4:57:40 PM] Curzon Dax says: No, I released the schedule - it was up for 24 hours prior to the start of the first game, and the announcement that the schedule would be up yesterday has been up for a month. [10/6/2007 4:58:02 PM] Curzon Dax says: So anyone who bought in knew 30 days in advance when the schedule would be posted.
This was me forestalling your whining. At the time, I didn't know the circumstances of what happened to you, but I clearly recognize the bait.
1. Remember the time when I didn't include you on an op? Then you sent out a corp mail that you were leaving because you didn't have a place in the Ninjas?
2. Remember the time when I went and got mercenaries for you, and when you slipped through the *****s with them, you sent out the corp mail that you were leaving because the ninjas stabbed you in the back? It was a bit of miscommunication?
WC, you have a terrible habit of jumping the gun and presuming people are out to get you. You take personal offense at things not even directed at you, at mistakes that involve you, at negligence....you seem to take great joy in having the opportunity to be personally offended by something. Is it any great surprise that my chat with you immediately aims to cut off that line of "Well, you didn't EVEmail me, wtf?" Because we both know it would have gone there.
Act injured about it, emo up a bit more - there's a REASON we use that little emo sign on Skype every time you open your mouth. Your hospital visit? Sorry man. If its true. But you got the same line that everyone did who didn't show up. 3/4 of the way through my day, after dealing with 3 games of a tournament, 10-15 side games, people left and right, Dodiez mentions that you get online, and something about you being hurt. I Skype you with "You ok? You break anything?" Then I offered you a chance to buy back in, ahead of anyone else. You didn't mention anything about the hospital, or being gone, just that you hurt yourself.
Dude, I can only mummy you so much. Sorry that this is getting aired out on the forums, but look at the sequence of postings.
Congratulations; you've managed to get on my small list of "People I could give a crap less about."
