Will you be creating a Steemit account for this ? This community will have my full support.
Wow thanks!
The idea of creating a separate account for this has crossed my mind, but I've decided to wait and see if we can support a full season (and now with 2 leagues) with post payouts before jumping full steem into it.
It's a lot to do, more than I anticipated going in. We were hosting daily freerolls most of the day long in between the weekly League tourney, but that just became too much to deal with and ended up draining the funds, once anticipated post rewards started declining, and I was fronting the money so I had to let the post rewards catch up to expenditures to see where we're at for the coming week.
We're now caught up funds wise, and after the 7/1 tourney we'll have at least an extra $113 SBD sitting around to either save for the next League tourney or start doing some more daily freerolls.
Once I get an idea of how much posts payouts will avg I can better manage the daily freeroll amounts. So far posts payouts have swung from $800 down to $65 I believe, so it's been hard to gauge. They do however appear to be leveling off near $150-$200 now which, if it continues, will allow us to set a regular schedule for daily games and offer some worthwhile prize pools on those games vs the current 1 SBD SNG daily.
Note to anyone reading this :
I do understand that there are Steemians who think "poker is gambling" and they don't want to see the reward pool go towards "gambling". I disagree with that sentiment, and understand poker to be a game of skill and do not consider a Freeroll, where no one has money at risk, to be gambling.
This poker league, as I see it, is no different than any other legitimate giveaway contest run here on Steemit. No one is risking anything other than their time to compete for a portion of the prize pool.
