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

Talking Poker · #1 02-07-05, 04:22 PM

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.

omahilo · #3 02-07-05, 05:52 PM

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

ChipFish · #4 02-07-05, 08:02 PM

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

TP, could you send me the password?

New Guy · #5 02-07-05, 09:22 PM

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.....

Talking Poker · #6 02-07-05, 11:01 PM

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.

Platinum Dave · #7 02-07-05, 11:29 PM

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!

GeoffM · #8 02-08-05, 04:00 PM

Does Pokerstars offer reload bonuses?

I don't have an account there yet, it seems "silly" to play a bunch of deadbeat

hacks

like yourselves if I don't see an incentive besides whipping your asses

.

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

ChipFish · #9 02-08-05, 04:14 PM

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.

SirFWALGMan · #11 02-08-05, 05:58 PM

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..

GeoffM · #12 02-09-05, 09:17 AM

I have, just a frustrating weekend

.

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

?

Count me in this time.

TajaUk · #13 02-09-05, 12:20 PM

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.

ChipFish · #14 02-09-05, 04:48 PM

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.

GeoffM · #15 02-09-05, 05:40 PM

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.

nutbag · #16 02-10-05, 10:08 PM

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.

ChipFish · #17 02-10-05, 10:24 PM

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.

Talking Poker · #18 02-10-05, 10:27 PM

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.

nutbag · #19 02-11-05, 04:07 AM

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.

omahilo · #20 02-13-05, 06:41 PM

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

Talking Poker · #21 02-17-05, 01:12 AM

Nope... any suggestions?

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

Aequitas58 · #22 02-17-05, 01:48 AM

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.

omahilo · #23 02-17-05, 10:34 AM

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

GeoffM · #24 02-17-05, 10:44 AM

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

.

ChipFish · #25 02-17-05, 04:14 PM

I'll help you with the big words Geoff.
