BonusPater Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Just ordered what I think will make for a very nice looking stream setup for home games. We'll have 11 cameras (1 * community cards 7-8 * hole cards and 2-3 * table and player overview cams) and proper lighting, which was kinda missing, when we did the test stream with @Hymn2Ninkasi a couple of weeks ago. I'm also trying to sort out a new Unibet branded table, as the Forsters one isn't too pretty. Expect to have the full setup ready in a couple of weeks. The first stream might be with hole card cams just standing on the table, but for next streams I'll try to make some holes in the table and add some plexi glass and camera boxes under it.Well, I'd love to hear, if you have any good ideas for these home game streams? How can we make it more interesting for you as a viewer? Last time we did some simple competitions where you were to predict the first to bust, and the winner. There also ended up being some chili eating and jumping in the pool from the roof, after a "few" beers. I personally think this worked okay, but want to add a lot more than this, so please share your thoughts! :)For the first stream I hope @JeppeL, @MarcoV, @ReCorpH, @Kris-Unibet, @Hymn2Ninkasi and David Lappin will join, and I expect it to be a late night stream like last time (think we stopped around 3).

MeX10K Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Last time was nice stream. Yes we need cams to this stream and maybe some freeroll with tickets as prize so we can watch and play too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonusPater Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 A freeroll is definitely an option. I have to say I prefer to do things on the stream though :) In case you're interested, here's the hardware: http://amzn.eu/fy11pXH. I'll post some pictures when I start working on the table (cutting the holes, adding the glass, adding the hole card boxes with light and camera etc.) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedoM Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 @testuser1You can set up a MTT in the near future, for people to qualify and play in this home game. Kinda like the league, but the winner gets a seat in the homegame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathrimC Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Nice setup, looking forward to seeing the next stream 😃For giveaways, a betting competition like at the UO would be awesome, but would take a lot of time to set up and keep track of all the results. Best thing would be to inform the mods of the possible giveaways beforehand so they can manage them.And/or get skype commentator(s) to manage and entertain the chat 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapInAChair Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Throw in some side action like forfeits for players when they lose to a shown down 72o for example. Could make for some fun action. Formerly known as StartlingGrope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonusPater Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 @MathrimC, a betting competition is doable, but probably not for the first tournament, as there's a lot of other important stuff (like trying to sort out a table in time :D ) I really like the idea of letting members do some commentary through e.g. Skype! I think we can already try this next weekend, if there're no issues with the tech. Just need some volunteers :) Right now it looks like the first proper stream will be Saturday next week from 21:00 (probably going to be delayed a bit as usual :D ) till late. I think we'll use Espens channel for the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonusPater Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 @MoreTBC, great! :) Ideally we'd have 2-3 commentators who'd also be in charge of giveaways and competitionsFor now the stream is scheduled for Saturday the 13th 21:00 CETEDIT: forgot there's an MMA event in Malta on the 13th, so it'll have to be Friday instead :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psrquack Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 It would be great watching when Stubbe is putting his admin rights to the pot against Davitschse's "I will play only Banzai for a year"- bond in a crazy and alcohol heated hand around 2-3 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonusPater Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Stream will start 21:00 on Friday at UhlenPokers Twitch. Who's up for doing some commentary and managing competitions and giveaways on the stream? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreiBN Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 @testuser1 I can help with the comeptitions and giveaways,but not so much with commentary...only funny ones if you want :D "When things are bad, it's the best time to reinvent yourself" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingsAF Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 @testuser1 Plain to malta included? :pNo but I would love to do that, but fridays are the worst here. I could do it everyday from sunday till thursday :pI could manage giveaways tough. I mean... It's just putting VikingsAF behind every prize? No?

BonusPater Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 @MathrimC, think you and @MoreTBC would make up a very strong team in the commentary box :) I'm sure @MoreTBC is up for doing some accent lessons during the stream - he's got a lovely accent :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonusPater Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Word on the street is that the table will be ready for Friday. Give it 75 % at the moment. Will know for sure by tomorrow afternoon :)@MoreTBC, @MathrimC still up for doing the commentary?We'll include some drinking game darts in the poker. Still trying to figure out exactly how it should work, but probably going to be something like: every time you win at showdown with a pair of T or worse, you can choose a player to throw three darts, and if you fold to a bluff, you have to throw the darts as well. If you don't get 40 points or more, you have to take a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope someone else will join because I don't want to do it alone :scared:Would it be an option to call one or more of the ambassadors, to have them on as a guest for a while?
