I guess I'd like to nominate myself. Hard to turn down the chance of a free tournament buy in . This is an awesome idea tp.

Thank-you for the nomination.

There were a couple people I was thinking of too, but they were already nominated, so no need to mention them again.

And I just wanted to state a quick opinion. I love this idea and I think you're are amazing TP for offering all these rewards and freerolls. I doubt there are many other forums out there that offer so much (it makes me laugh thinking about the freeroll whores, had they behaved and stuck around, they would have had the opportunity to make more money than just participating in the original freeroll). Anyway, and I don't want this to sound negative or like I'm campaigning for votes, but I don't think any of us new guys deserve this reward (YET). None of us have been here long enough or contributed even half as many posts as the veterans have. I would actually rather see this money go to a veteran. They were the ones who had to tolerate the mess that the forum became because of the freeroll whores. This forum would not be the forum I want to come to everyday, if it wasn't for the veterans. Anyway, I'm not sure how I'm going to do it, but if I do win I want to give the money to one of the veterans. Either by have a vote like this, or maybe putting a bounty on my head (only veterans qualify to win), at the next tourney I'm in. Like I said, this isn't a campaign, I just wanted to get my thoughts out there and let you guys know what I think of this site.

I think this is really big of you (as is not nominating yourself, for those that didn't), but this award is for the newbies. Believe me when I say the vets are thrilled to have a few new quality posters after all that nonsense. Of course the vets deserve contest money and promo stuff too, and they get it now and then, but this one is newbie exclusive.

Because I said so.

BTW... contrary to popular belief (or at least what I think popular belief is), I didn't srart this forum nor do I contribute to it in hopes of getting rich. Sur e, it would be nice to make a few bucks off the site (and when all is said and done, I guess I do), but that's not my motivation. So as appreciation for you guys supporting this site by joining new poker sites through my links, I like to give back to the community too. It's win win win!

Okay, you changed my mind--a bit. I understand a little better now how us new guys do deserve this. But, I think I will still do the bounty thing. If I do win any of this money, at the next tourney I'm in whoever takes me out, new poster or old poster will win the money. It's free money after all and I'm just going to lose it at poker either way. And hey, it's incentive for me to win the tourney! I won't have to give the money away then and I will feel like I earned it.

Just a thought, instead of $15 and $10 for new members, you could give two entries into the tournament on Tuesday, that way we could sort of keep the TP money together. Unless of course someone couldn't make it to the tournament.

Edit: I guess this is sort of what Nak1ta(sp?) just said above

I like that idea. Especially since first and foremost we are here to play poker, second is to make money. (But then no bounty from me! )

Didn't know there was a tourney on Tuesday.

Love the idea btw; if I had a chance in winning it ( which I truly doubt will happen ) but if I did; I'd have put it either towards the league or saved it for another TP tourney.

Im glad the newbies are here, think you all are great, I wish Rook took advice a little better but other then that you all are great. Tp has given us enough in the past so I dont mind you guys getting money at all. Hell its his money he can do what he wants with it. TP has given alot in the past, pay to post, Titan free $50, 2x h2h tornies, bankroll building contests. The list goes on and on.

Maybe you should pay a little closer attention to the sticky threads we have around here:

I am going to close this thread now. The official poll can be found here:


We'll stick with $15 and $10 prizes (payable vai only), but hopefully the winners will use those to play in a TP tourney sometime. I'm going to run this poll for 4 days, which takes us beyond Tuesday's tourney anyway.

GL everyone.
