Team LLBs

So there's been some discussion about team LLBs.

Is there any interest?

How do you want to handle it? Do you choose your teams from the start? Do I make them default points? Do you pick your team or does it do it randomly?

How many people per team?

Zab that is a good idea. i think you do 5vs5 and 10vs10. Also what about adding larger llbs of 10,20,30 winner take all with 4% going to promos.

well i havn't really played last longer bets maybe

interesting, never thought about it that way.

Would this be the last player standing wins the llb for his whole team, or would the team llb take into account how the entire team does vs the opposing team, similar to the speedway?

My only concern is that if it's the latter, the door could be opened for soft play/collusion within a team. That all depends on how many points are involved as well.

yea team llb sounds good wher it 2vs 2 and 3vs 3 and the last player standing gets the most winings

fak i dont want to encourage collusion...but you are so right... What do you guys think of larger llbs or only let "Premium* members participate in team llbs...just some thoughts...

Ya this could encourage collusion..

i like this idea

I still haven't heard how everyone wants it

TEAM LLBS 2 vs 2 3 vs 3 etc

team play woild naturallly encourage collusion for sure:)) not goooodd.

dont really see the point in this maybe instead an llb leaderboard...most llb's posted vs llb's won maybe?
EDIT points placed irrellivant JUST the fact u have partaken in an llb if that makes sense

I was at first open to the idea of team llbs and now that it has been brought up I def. think it would lead to collusion.
As it is I have seen ppl on a couple of occassions get mad because someone in their speedway car took them out.

i think it would encourage collusion unfortunately with some people where there is a will there is a way i dont think it will work

Ok so this is a no go?

I had some ideas on it but if the points go high enough, then yes it probably would encourage collusion

i think it be a grait i dear and if there is week play for ereyone in that team it still ok because they are working as a team and thats the point in haveing a team llb

its worth have a look to see how it goes

you can always take it of if it dont work

It sounds like the idea has potential, but too much risk for collusion for sure. Maybe we can discuss some more ideas and/or ways to prevent collusion in this thread?

definatly dont want any collusion going on....but i dont see how thats avoidable when people can win together...I personally think i would want to lose a hand to my team mate to make sure I won a 1k llb...and i dont cheat so not sure the system will work.

They had a special event wsop 2009, where the buy in included four player team with jerseys and ur own team name. You could call time outs and discuss hands. Don't think it worked out well, wasn't played the next year.

maybe we should only allow up to 500 points in teams....what about the larger groups zab?

Think the team game has its place, but this could really change lot of the dynamics here. Have to agree with soft play and collusion being a huge distraction from some pretty cool games already. My vote would be no to this. Granted I only play a few games now and then but really enjoy them as they are.

very bad ideea colusion and soft play will be unavoidable

Yea maybe the team llb wouldn't work....What about the COD promo zab? Might be better for that. What about allowing the larger llbs?

Larger LLBs are allowed, theres no limit to the points you can bet.

The COD promo, It needs some serious love. I just envision me putting a TON of work into it and no one really caring about it. I need to make it more fun and more addicting

cod promo??

If its absolutely random choosing, maybe shown after late reg ends, if ppl start to abuse, then we could take it off.

to the people that keep suggesting just taking it down if collusion shows....there is one major problem...if carbon sees collusion even in a "testing" stage then the people who are colluding will most likely be banned and zab and pokerowned will either be shut down or fined for encouraging it...really not worth the risk...i still say my leaderboard idea is the best BUT yes zab do work on cod it will be ossums
