$100 Freeroll for TalkingPoker.com Posters!

[captain_festival]

i hear ya mr.AA ...i feel the same way..but i will give it a shot !!!

[bigbrandon33]

so you need 50 post for the 100$ freeroll

[BDMK]

one more suggestion:

instead of having a single one monthly, say $100/$200, freeroll on stars, why not have *weekly* $25/$50 ones?

this should get ppl excited, which should in turn lead to increased activity/traffic on the forum (like it or not, ppl, noobs or regulars, will have to get/remain actively engaged in it) which should in turn lead to more linked signups/deposits thru the forum, and so on, and so forth...

hosting a pvt tourney on stars is IMHO as good of an advertisement for a forum/site as one can possibly get short of buying TV time...

i see the forum now has somewhat fewer than 500 members. with a few regular tourneys on stars, it should break the 1K barrier easy and move steadily up. this should also in turn naturally give more weight to the forum when negotiating deals with the poker sites, etc etc...

and yes of course this all should attract its share of password sellers, multiple acct cheats and the usual riff-raff, but thats the unfortunate side effect of things, alas. so be it...on the flip side, it will also attract a good number of honest poker sharks/enthusiasts too.

so, TP, whaddya say?

I say it's worth consideration, for sure... just playing it by ear right now.

Dear Thelaterdays,

If you think there is any chance in hell I'm going to let you play in this freeroll if you make 50 random, useless, worthless, in the wrong threads, etc posts, you are clearly mistaken. In fact, I'll lay 2:1 that you get banned from the forum long before that would happen.

I'm going to be nice and give you a fresh shot at this (I'll be nice and credit with with "1" as of right now), but please don't insult me and the rest of this forum with those "quality" posts.

For the record, everyone else's "normal" posting has been fine. But this type of crap is not:

im in

now i just have to remember to be available at the time of the tourney.

by the way, to the newbies that are trying to make the 50 posts: there are easily enough threads here that getting 50 posts by then shouldnt be that hard. no reason whatsoever to fill up threads with a bunch of shit. just pathetic.

add to the forum, and i would assume that we will see more of these freerolls in the future, because they have obvious value to TP if the freerolls increase forum traffic significantly.

Whats Up Yall Im New

[Tony Cheval]

Personally I would like to see a semi-regular 'league' setup, but we've been over that before.

[PShabi]

There needs to be a bi-monthly $10 buyin tourney with a fucking leaderboard.

Maybe top 10 after X weeks get entered in a "TOC" freeroll.

[Tony Cheval]

That's a good idea, we seem to be a fairly stable group here, why restrict ourselves to short-term?

[BDMK]

i absolutely agree. and tho im still a newbie here, id most definitely remain a regular and frequent contributor here (as well as suffer thru non-stars sites for all those forum challenge thingies) if a *stars-based* league/pvt tourney series of any sort is formed up here. again, could be freerolls, buyins or combo thereof.

almost all forums/sites are scared off from hosting pvt stuff on stars because:

a) stars is not desperate for business unlike all the new, micro poker joker sites popping up all over the place and giving away freerolls galore

b) theyre too small so they dont have enough 'signup/deposit pull'

c) forum owner(s) cant afford/dont want to spare a few bux to set up a league/series of pvt tourneys, as it 'doesnt pay off' (see a-b above)...i understand. business is business

to each their own. i still think that hosting pvt events on stars is probly the best way to advertise one's forum/site short of buying tv/radio time. but of course it cannot put the forum owner at risk of losing all/most of his overall forum profits

[bigpaduls1]

I would love to play in this tourney

[charline73]

Thanks for letting me know how to join this tourney.....hopefully i can put out 50 quality posts by then...lol

[studiopet]

I was just interested in playing with some of the folks from this forum and shooting the sh*t while we play. Freeroll or no freeroll, doesn't really matter to me. But if anyone is interested, I can be found on PS under my name used on this forum darn near nightly (EST).

[Ando05]

i still didnt get my answer of how many people are gonna show up at this tourney. how many u guys think will show up cuz there is only 11 right now.

[wdson01]

if you want to join the freeroll, im sure you know how but i dont know if there is a way to determine that...it depends on how many people PM TP and how many peope he lets play by making quality posts...

BTW someone wouldve told you but you didn't have to make that post again

EDIT; there will NOT be more than or even cloes to 500 people in the tourney

[Ando05]

also if all goes well do you guys think you will raise the price or will it be the same

[wdson01]

please don't make worthless posts like these...if you want to ask questions put a bajillion of them on one post, not vic-versa remember....you need quality, not quanity in your posts if you want to play in the freeroll

[Talking Poker]

I'm not psychic, so I have no idea. Your guess is as good as mine. Well, maybe not, but I still don't know. I'll guess between 20 and 40.

And at this rate, you will not be one of them.

As for "raising the price," I'm pretty sure FREErolls are usually, you know, FREE. So no, I don't think the price will be raised.

[Ando05]

i think that doing it on the 30th will be great, its my day off!
