Challenge of the Poker Forums !

[HEwong]

i saw rookette advertising talkingpoker.com lol

[rookette22]

Shhhh you'll get me in trouble lol

Hmm...k imma going to my room now for punishment

[HEwong]

lol

[PShabi]

It started here:


Chip got a little spunky:



Then here, when we dominated:




Then, the carnage that followed:





Edit: This was multiforum by the way. It did lead to a head to head and maybe another tourney with a forum or two. Honestly, we sucked at having people show up.

[dmopiela]

Yea, I saw rookette advertising Talking Poker also. Great job. Honestly, I did have a flush with a straight flush draw. Good laydown of those pocket kings.

[PShabi]

Alright, so what's the other forum then, since you all know?

[rookette22]

Sorry Pshabi, but would rather wait till I get ok from TP.

BTW...I read the links you posted and that was way kewl...but this wouldn't be a league. This is a one time event. One tourney; that's it that's all. Unless TP decides otherwise. But as it stands, the other administrator is game to this.

[Talking Poker]

Well, I still don't have any details to base a decision on, but as I said, if people want to play, sure, we'll play. I'd hate to set it up and have 3 of us show up to face 60 of them though. No thanks...

[rookette22]

It's YOU ...you're a member here too lol

Grrr ...I hated to fold those PPK's but had no choice. Heard bad things about the KK curse. lol

Nice seeing you again....and psst ...you gotta admit this forum is much better than the other one right?

[Robbie Robb]

Wait...I thought you had to go to TP's room for punishment... TP, can you clarify this please???

But yeah, I'm game as well. Lemme know when and where (preferably PS)

[Talking Poker]

Yes, to TP's room for punishment. (I like Rob).

We tried this once before, and it sort of worked out, but mostly didn't. A few of our members decided to mouth off a bit (in good nature, but it was taken wrong), and then things snowballed out of control and, well, it made us look bad, IMO. We actually ended up losing some members to the other forums (they were nice enough to PM me and explain why they were leaving), and as best I could tell, gained 0. So.................. all in all, that didn't work out so great.

And yes, we tried being in a league for a while, but our attendance sucked ass, so we basically quit doing it.

If you guys are interested in doing this, I'm ok with it. Here's hoping we can all act like grownups this time, and maybe get some new members out of it, instead of just losing people to the other "friendlier" forum.

Either PM me the details, or, since most everyone seems to know what you are talking about anyway, just go ahead and post them here.

P.S. My room - 5 minutes.

[rookette22]

LMAO (@ ur P.S.)

ok well the forum in question is......Pokerflea

They had a freeroll tonight and I...again...happened to be in it. (me runs for fear TP will bring out the handcuffs ) lol

Well, had a nice chat with the administrator there and he invited me to his forum. But since I'm devoted to you TP.... *cough* meant to say, devoted to this forum I declined his invitation to join. Told him your Forum was the best.

Then I brought up the challenge and he accepted it. So now I'm asking you if you're willing to go for it. It's a one time deal TP. And we can't make it too pricey. We want to get as much members in it as possible and most don't have a huge bankroll. So as soon as your ready and you agree to this I'll Im him and give him your ok.

I did however try to go in to have a look around at his forum but wasn't able to. They don't allow guests. You either register or nothing. The reason for this was to apologize to him for advertising your forum on his freeroll tonight. Wasn't right but he forgave me so all is kewl.

[Talking Poker]

Sounds good. Go for it... Just so you know, the lowest buy in I can set up at Poker Stars is $10. If he'd like to set this up, that's fine with me. We'll be there.

FYI - I'm out of the country from the 4th through the 11th, so let's shoot for sometime AFTER that, if you want me to play.

Now... where did I put those handcuffs?

[rookette22]

lol


ok sounds good

Wouldn't be a challenge without you in it TP. Will be fun to watch the poker combat between the 2 administrators; moderators and members

So I'm gonna set this up with him and let you know the details a.s.a.p. I'll see what date is available after the 11th; and will check dates from your league so that we don't pick same dates.

This is gonna be so kewl if it all goes through. Thx for the thumbs up TP!

[rookette22]

Hmm...I have this idea but don't know if it's possible or if you'd go for it, so I'm gonna mention it to you before contacting the other forum admin.

Was thinking.... how about we make it a $5 buy-in; payable to you in advance & then you use that to make it a freeroll type tourney using the $5/member? No need to call it a freeroll, just name it whatever you want; just asking to see if that's even possible to do.

See, this way you'll get more members from the forums involved, instead of just the ones with a big bankroll. More members, more fun...more of a challenge. (Maybe even more prizes)

Also we'd know for sure how many players would be in it once they pay their buyin. If you just make it the $10 buy-in, most members say they'll be there but might not even show up. This guarantees you that the players will show up; being they don't want to lose their buy-in.

We can also advertise on the outside too. Get new members to come in here to join our team in order to challenge the other team forum.

Did I tell you I'm a damn good PR person lol weeeeee....I'm lovin' this idea.

Just a few suggestions. Let me know what you think.

P.S: I don't have any real New Year's resolutions; so I'm gonna help you make one of yours happen.
