TalkingPoker.com Invitational II - 2/27 3:00 ET
 

The first ever TalkingPoker.com Invitational was a huge success, and I know a lot of people (myself included) want another crack at Mr. ChipFish, so we're gonna do it again.

The details:
The tournament will take place on at 3:00 ET on Sunday, February 27th. All registered users of this forum are invited to play, but you must make at least 10 quality posts (TBD by me) throughout the entire month of February in order to play. And this time, there will be no New Guy exceptions (punk knocked me out!).

Once you have made the 10 quality posts, PM me for the tourney password. If you have made over 300 posts on this board, you're already qualified - you can go ahead and PM me now.

To register, log in to . Click on Tourney/Private and scroll down to Tournament #5166592 - 2/27, 15:00.

Once again there will be added prizes and bounties (last time, I gave away two copies of ), but what they are is still TBD. I'll announce them closer to tourney time.

If this is half as fun at the last one was, I know it's going to be a huge success!

I believe there should be a bounty on ChipFish' head. :D

Yeah it would be a cool idea to have a bounty on the champs head.

Knock out ChipFish, get your buy-in back. (like any of you hacks have a chance at knocking me out... :p :eek: :D

TP, could you send me the password?

Bounty should be on new guy
 

Hey I think the bounty needs to be on the guy that won the bounty last time however I'd love to win it again so do what you need to do but TP wouldnt it be nice to knock me out(wont happen) and get something.Anyways this for sure counts as 1.....

If you are offering a bounty on your own head (as ChipFish did), I'm sure I speak for the forum when I gladly accept.

New here, guess I will have to get my 10 posts by the end of Febuary.

what if I get 10 posts tonight will that qualify me :)

Hello Admin!

Does Pokerstars offer reload bonuses?

I don't have an account there yet, it seems "silly" to play a bunch of deadbeat :D hacks :p like yourselves if I don't see an incentive besides whipping your asses :) .

Oh, and by the way, let the trash talking begin. ;)

Not too often... Usually 20% reloads when they do happen...
No initial deposit bonus.

I thought you were doing well recently?
Move $55 over and stop being cheap.
That gives you entry to 5 Talkingpoker Tourneys ($10+1)
You may even win a few bucks here and there.
Plus it's alot of fun... Trashtalk, Lou cheering against me every step of the way, looking at new guys pivture of his girl etc.

Count Mr. 2nd place as in like Flynn.

Maybe..
 

Well.. Sunday is a bad time, but I have been practicing my NL skills, but I have no bankroll.. but Knocking Bad Blood out would be fun, but getting knocked out by bad Blood again would suck, but cheering on Bad Blood would be cool, but watching him sqwander is aewsome chance to take first to Chip Fish would suck, so.. I will have to see..

I have, just a frustrating weekend :mad: .

Cheap :( ?

No, due to that line, I'll be in. Will the pWo be doing any type of colluding, you know chip-dumping and that kind of stuff :p ?

Count me in this time.

I have stopped my poker playing virtually to nothing these days. But for sure I will be at every TP event planned.

Keep up the good work TP.

I prefer to think of it as all who enter are merely holding MY chips for me.... It will just be a matter of time before I withdraw them from you and add them to my stack. :p

Well, if by some freak chance I end up heads up for the title, I will say now that I have had countless connection problems due to my "boonieville" location, so I may have to chop-chop depending on my situation. Just hope I don't hold up the table I'm on though.

Pokerstars inter account transfer?
 

Hey, I'm living in Korea now and have no way of getting money on Pokerstars(most of the methods that would work for me require an impossible phone call) Does pokerstars have interaccount transfer like party? If not, any other suggestions? Thanks.

And just how would you get money out?
If you can't get it in, you can't get it out.

I believe you can send a money order by mail.

Yes, they do. And unlike Party, there is no minimum, you don't need to know anything but the person's screen name, and it takes about 5 minutes to process, on average.

$50 isn't really a big deal to me.
 

I'm not living here indefinately, I'm planning on coming home sometime. I really just want to play in the tournament/try out the site. If I happen to make some money and want to withdrawal, I would eventually return home and set something up. Thanks, TP.

TP, did you decide what the added prizes are going to be?

Nope... any suggestions?

I'm thinking the Harrington book might be a nice bounty on my head....

That's a VERY good bounty for anyone who doesn't own this book. But for me........ I'm sure we can work something out when I bust you out. :D

that sounds like a awesome prize... should give one to the winner as well. (Guess Chipfish will be adding to his library lol)

I guess so. Once I'm done with him he's gonna need a few more poker books to read up on LOL.

I love trash talk :p .

I'll help you with the big words Geoff. :p

I dont have that book
 

That would be great.I will add it to my collection when I take you down AGAIN TP.. Better hope your not at my table again.

I want in!!!! Who's palm do I need to grease to get in? :D

taz, just PM TP for the password.

Good.
I kind of want to smack the pro around a bit. :eek:

Come get some pony boy!

Oh you didn't know?????
You're Ass better calllllllllllllllll sooooommeebooddddyyyyy!

if u really want to stir things up the bounty should go to the first person knocked out.

Always looking for an advantage, aren't you? :p :D ;)

Hmm, I'm currently busted at PS, but I'm interested if I can get in.

Sounds like someone needs to make a deposit :D

As for the bounty going to whoever gets knocked out first.... I'm certainly not going to spend my money on something like that, but if anyone else wants to put one up, feel free. Anyone may post bounties for this tourney. Just pay up afterwards...

Right now, the list of bounties is as follows:
Knock me out - Get the Harrington book
Knock ChipFish out - Get your 11 bucks back

Well, I'm working on doing the bonuswhore thing somewhat, so I'm mostly in Absolute at the moment. Though what I've read about the Cryptos seems a bit conflicting, I'm certainly not gonna dump a bunch of money into a site with relatively tough games, unless the bonus is insane. :D

I will take both of you on.

But shouldn't it be the other way around. Recieve the Harrington book if you knock out ChipFish. I mean come on.........ChipFish is a much easier target then you are :p

No one is saying you need to play there exclusively or even regularly. Just saying you need to put in a little bit of cash to play in our tourney. It's by far the best place for us to do this sort of thing. Deposit $50, play in the tourney, and then cach out immediately afterwards if you want - $39 if you lose, or much more if you win. Seems easy enough to me.

And Stars doesn't offer first time sign up bonuses, so no need to worry about wasting one of those on a minimum deposit. when they offer a bonus, it's for everyone.

I like this guy already...
If you need to target me, I'll be chipleader or thereabouts... Should be easy enough for you to find.
:cool:

Let's make it tough.............starting chip count is 1,000 and not the usual 2,000. Start the blinds at 25/50 and ante up starting at level 3.

Then we will see who the big fish is and not just a little guppy ;)

Ahhh I see now.
You like crapshoots, and don't particularly enjoy playing poker....
I'm out of Absolute Poker right now, (Won a $20 multi, and placed 5th in a $20 multi here out of 3 trys....)
but will be back on Party when they offer the reload.
How's about we up the starting stacks to 10,000 and play 2 hour levels
starting at 25/50?
Don't you find the better players do a little better when there is room to maneuver (sp)?


Where are you from Taz?
Toronto Canada here.

I believe the minimum amount to withdrawal is $50.

if thats the case deposit $61 on pokerstars then withdraw 50.

And we have a rocket scientist gentlemen! :cool:
I knew my man Omahilo could figure it out for you all.

10,000 stacks!?!?!?! I want a challange, not a cake walk. :)

I'm not afraid to play against anyone. I like to gamble and love the challange. 1,000 chip stacks with starting blinds at 25/50 does just that. Make you play on the top of your game ;)

BTW, I am from Long Island, NY :)

We'll have to meet in Niagara at some point then.

You and Chip keep going back and forth ... this silly banter is getting old. Smells like a heads up match might be in order.

lol chip!

anyways... online tourneys are already crapshoots as it is and 1K stacks will just make it more of a crapshoot. Thats fine you like to 'gamble' but also its taking the skill out of the game when you have to play allin poker with any hand you get dealt lol.

Absolutely...
The more chips to start and the more time to play with them...
Equals more time for ChipFish to gobble your chips...
The more I shop around the more I like UB and Absolute for their Tourney blind structures..... The Stars 350k is good too. Also The PPM on party was excellent if you had the full 3k to start...(which you should if you were going to play)

On the other side of the coin though, I have been stockpiling T$ at Stars with the $10+1 rebuy turbos....
Does anyone think there may be a run for the WSOP in Chip's Future??? ;)

I've done all right in the couple Absolute tourneys I've managed to get in. Unfortunately, for some wierd reason my older box (this one) won't load tournament tables, though the ring games work fine. Finally had to download the software to my gaming rig, works fine there. :confused:
