Hi,



I have an exciting idea that could make your site more astrictive to new comers…it’s a new game as follows:



“Buddy” tournaments – SNG as well as multi table…I belong to a forum and it is one big happy family also most poker players have at least one friend that also plays online…so why not make it exciting!



Players would pick their buddy before entering a tournament or while at the table…the tables would be 10 player tables…in a multi-table game the players would have to be moved together. Now in the beginning the player would push the buddy button and point to his or her buddy and the buddy would have to approve. Now the game begins and you would see your own cards as well as your “buddy’s” cards…you could have a private chat box to discuss strategy or not…but it would be exciting such as one might continue on with the better hand and the other folds or you both have a drawing hand so you both stay in etc…scenarios would be countless and exciting and the prize money would be split between the “buddies”.



Let me know if you like it and would like to continue on….Team Poker…the new excitement

I don't like the word "buddy". It makes me feel awqward for some reason.

LOL...yes but we will have to use MSN messenger to see each others cards, until they start these games...LOL

Until then, it's illegal collusion (as opposed to the legal kind )
