Default Attention Lurkers, Attention Lurkers: Free $$

This post is aimed at the many people who have accounts here but have never posted.

If you registered BEFORE April, 2006 (that means March 2006 or earlier) and have yet to make a single post, you're eligible to win.

What's the prize? $20 transferred to you at . Free money. Consider it a bankroll boost, or a bankroll start, as the case may be.

To win, all you need to do is make your first post in this thread and tell us why you should get the $20. Be sure to mention why you haven't posted yet too - and don't say because you were waiting for this contest!

I'll either decide on my own or maybe we'll take a vote, but someone will be getting $20. And I haven't decided how long we'll be running this little contest, so you had better get posting so you don't miss out!

Not necessarily. The winner could be someone who hasn't been here for a week or a month or a year. They just need to have 0 posts and have been registered BEFORE April 2006.

Very true, especially considering:


But remember, it's not the FIRST person to post who wins... it's the person with the best reason of why they should win who wins.

Of course, in order to even have a CHANCE, you need to post in this thread, so yeah, I'm with you.

Let's hear it, JTown.

Let me check the rules.

Well, there's no mention of that, so sure, I guess.

Default The Lurker

Well I guess I have been called out by the man himself TP, so for $20 I'll attempt to give it a shot, can't hurt I guess.

I spend a lot of my time playing poker on pokerstars as ID: Jonesy15. Instead of working on school work, I'm usually logged on playing, which is bad but at least I have been doing fairly well. I usually play 0.50-1 limit, or .25-.50 no limit cash games. My most success has been on the $5.50 and 11 SNGs.

I'm usually reading TP forums between games, or whenever I have the chance to play, just because I love listening to poker stories and different hands that people play and ask advice for. I am always looking to get better and advice from TP and other people that have played the game for a long time have helped me.

I have railed TP in some of the $50 180 SNG's just to see how he plays and watched him take down his win awhile ago, very impressive. I also saw the hand where the guy called you with ace high when u had 34, and could have guessed your hand when u posted that thread. Why I have never gotten around to posting is really because I felt I didn't have anything to offer, rather choosing to soak up what other people have to say. Not a great reason but that's all I got. The money isn't a big deal, but I'll try to contribute a little more to the forum since I think this posting will help me make future posts.

Thanks for the great forum, and look forward to making more posts.

Cheers,
JTown

We have a leader!

Welcome to the forum, thanks for posting, and I'm glad to hear you have been getting something out of this place, despite your lack of contributing!

Ok, who's next? Come on lurkers... let's go!

Did you really? That's funny. Glad you finally decided to step forward and make that first post!

While I think someone could get a lot from this forum just by reading, I think they could get a lot more by participating - posting some of their own HHs, commenting on others (right or wrong, this forces you to REALLY think through situations and this makes you a better player), and in general, just becoming a part of the community.

Bonjour Wizeguy. A aimé le poteau. Il est évident que vous avez une petite hantise avec le lapin Bon pour avoir finalement de vous signaler, et de la chance en cette concurrence.

BTW.... those with 0 posts who have visited the forum today include:
thecardmasta

And that's it. There are a few people with less than 5 posts.... I'm not saying that they are or are not eligible to win (leaning towards not), but it certainly wouldn't hurt if they decided to formally introduce themselves anyway!

Hey, I signed up a while ago when i saw someones location at PS as talkingpoker.com. I usually lurk here, but never have felt that I should post. I love reading everything here, whether its bad beats (sorry), or someone flopping quads. ITs also great to read about how much I should sit with at a cash game(ALWAYS the max lol) and someone going deep in a huge tourny. I might not deserve the 20$ ( I think i do!!), but I do love the site
