kmb13592 12-08-05 02:59 PM

I only have 7 dollars in my account, I need this money bad.
So let me win TP.

rookette22 12-08-05 03:05 PM

TP? Is anyone even close to winning this contest? Will you end the contest as soon as you find your winner and say it or is there a contest end date ?

chrisash 12-08-05 03:18 PM

merry xmas tp.sorry i havent been on in a while,been real busy xmas shopping.good luck and congrats to who ever win contest

Talking Poker 12-08-05 03:33 PM

I'd have to consult the rules. Lessee here......

I'm not allowed to say if anyone is close to winning yet. But I am allowed to say that I will announce the winner as soon as there is one, so that's good. And I'm not allowed to say if there is a contest end date.

What I get out of all of that is this: The contest could end any time, but it might not end until a specific date. BUT, until a winner is announced, it's still anyone's contest to win. Well, I guess that might not be true, by the letter of the law, but it definitely means there are at the very least multiple (however many that is) people still eligible to win.

And off the record, I still think it's ANYONE'S game.

P.S. And no BDMK, as per your PM, posting in this thread definitely does NOT disqualify people.

MAYHEM45 12-08-05 03:38 PM

Looks like BDMK and me were on the same page then...

Guess I'm safe to post in here then. Great contest.

rookette22 12-08-05 03:39 PM

One more question plz.

Are there any posters in here already disqualified?

Poker Quotes

"Hold em is to stud what chess is to checkers." -- Johnny Moss

"The guy who invented poker was bright, but the guy who invented the chip was a genius." -- Big Julie

"Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died." -- Steven Wright

"Whether he likes it or not, a man's character is stripped bare at the poker table; if the other players read him better than he does, he has only himself to blame. Unless he is both able and prepared to see himself as others do, flaws and all, he will be a loser in cards, as in life." -- Anthony Holden (from "Big Deal")

"Cards are war, in disguise of a sport." -- Charles Lamb, "Essays of Elia" (1832)

"You call...gonna be all over, baby." -- Scotty Nguyen, during the 1998 World Series of Poker. Down to the final 2 players, he said this to his opponent while he held the best possible hand.

If, after the first twenty minutes, you don't know who the sucker at the table is, it's you. ~Author Unknown

I believe in poker the way I believe in the American Dream. Poker is good for you. It enriches the soul, sharpens the intellect, heals the spirit, and - when played well, nourishes the wallet. ~Lou Krieger

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead. ~Jackie Robinson

Most of the money you'll win at poker comes not from the brilliance of your own play, but from the ineptitude of your opponents. ~Lou Krieger

"This frickin' donkey stuck $15,000 with King Jack...I mean...the guy can't even spell poker. I re-raise to let him know what I had. (points to the board) He peeled (a King off), a Jack off for the sucker. Learn how to fold a hand. Some of the worst players in the world. I can't believe this is the World Series of Poker."

"Never bet on baseball." -- Pete Rose

"Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at math."

Talking Poker 12-08-05 05:32 PM

I don't think I should answer that.

Instead, I will tell you that everyone who has posted above me on THIS PAGE of this thread is definitely NOT disqualified.

That's right - even Brian still has a shot at winning.

Hawt 12-08-05 05:37 PM

what about below you on this page?

chrisash 12-08-05 05:38 PM

Is it your birthday?????
maybe

well wishing you happy birthday anyways!!!!

that might be the contest.The first person to wish you happy birthday. :)

chrisash 12-08-05 05:39 PM


funny

Favre[4] 12-08-05 06:06 PM

How didyou like my quotes?

Talking Poker 12-08-05 06:15 PM

Well, as of right now, there are no posts below this one. So I dunno.

Talking Poker 12-08-05 06:17 PM

I like them. They don't really belong in this thread though, and would probably be better off in a new thread.

One of my favorite quotes of all time is the one about the lottery being a tax on people who aren't good at math.

Hawt 12-08-05 06:20 PM

What about people who have posted below THE QUOTED post on this page.

Talking Poker 12-08-05 06:28 PM

I'm quoting your post right now. And once again, there are no posts below this one. Sorry about that.

Oh hey - at a glance, it looks like the people on Page 5 are all good to go too. All but one person on that page are definitely still in this thing, and I have no comment on if the other one is good or not.

Surely that gives you the info you are looking for, right Hawt?

Hawt 12-08-05 06:30 PM

I hate you.

Talking Poker 12-08-05 06:39 PM

I know you think I've been waiting for someone to admit to hating me to win the contest, but I have to tell you......................... Saying that does NOT make you the winner. In fact, all you have accomplished with your slander (or is it libel?) is hurting the TP feelings. :(

As for your specific contest eligibility, Mr. Hawt.... after that comment of yours, all I can say is that your status is exactly the same as it was before you made said comment. In fact, YOUR status in this contest has been the same all day.

Talking Poker 12-08-05 06:39 PM

Best.
Contest.
EVER.

Hawt 12-08-05 06:43 PM

I have been up writing for so long and I am so tired I just have to give up guessing. So to quote Mayhems profile (I think)

"Let the chips fall where they may."

Favre[4] 12-08-05 06:46 PM

I quit. This is the gayest game in my opionon.

Talking Poker 12-08-05 06:46 PM

I think that's a great plan.

Talking Poker 12-08-05 06:49 PM

I can not speak for the sexuality of this game (the Rules say nothing about it), but your objection has been noted.

Free tip: If this "game" is so "gay," don't open this thread. Ever again. Go read a bunch of posts in the Looking For a Backer section and maybe some Bad Beat stories when you're done. I'm sure that will be much more entertaining.

Zybomb 12-08-05 06:49 PM

So TP.... what page number / post number is the winner?

Edit: maybe its a time post... like I have to be post 150 at 1:50 :eek: I leeked the secret!
