Sweet. I'll set it up and post the details in a new thread. Any suggestions for when to have this?

Tuesdays have been good for us lately, so I was thinking next Tuesday, 12/13, at the usual 9:30 PM.

Oh, and for anyone that does not yet have a Royal Vegas account yet, you'll need one in order to play in this. Here's my link:

PShabi · #3 12-08-05, 03:42 PM

Thanks Phil! LOL.

This is good news.

Now, the points we accumulated were as a group right? Or am I the sole reason we got the freeroll?

Either way, I'm pretty sure my FT appearance got us over the hump.

Don't wanna be a dick, but I'd love to have the privilege (curse possibly?) of being the issuer of the password for the tourney.

It would take a load off of TP's plate and I'd be sure to keep it in the family this time.

Anybody object to that?

rookette22 · #4 12-08-05, 04:11 PM

pshabi4fr ? lol

WTG guys & weeeeee I think I a shot at this freeroll now; unless you decide that I need 500 posts to make it into the freeroll

Talking Poker · #5 12-08-05, 04:44 PM

You got it, champ! I HATE doing that anyway.

You're in charge. PM me what you want the password to be, and I'll use that to set it up. Also, confirm that at least YOU can play next Tuesday, and I'll get this set up.

BTW.... the way this worked was we got one point for each registration, and then we got points for how each person who actually played finished. So you single handedly accounted for 801 of our points (820ish, as I recall) - thatta guy!

rookette22 · #6 12-08-05, 04:47 PM

Congrats Pshabi!

hmm...I better go read up on some poker books soon, be4 the Freeroll

Nikita · #7 12-08-05, 05:20 PM

Thank-you Pshabi. This freeroll should definitely be dedicated to you seeing as you are 97% responsible for it happening.

jaeh00d · #8 12-09-05, 07:15 AM

so we would need to open a royal vegas account and make the minumum deposit in order to take participation in this freeroll?

Nikita · #9 12-09-05, 07:59 AM

You shouldn't have to make a deposit. You do get $10 free for signing up though (you can't withdraw that without a deposit), and you can do what Hawt, myself and what looks like Rook are doing and build up a bankroll with it.

FatRufus · #10 12-09-05, 12:57 PM

How do we get this passwrd? do we just pm pshabi? look forward to seeing you guys there. Im off tuesday so i'll be there for sure. congrats pshabi. Is there gonig to be another freeroll challenege on rvp anytime soon? If so just tell me i'd love to play

PShabi · #11 12-09-05, 01:18 PM

Don't PM.

Once TP confirms the date and start time, he'll sticky a new post. Anybody who wishes to be involved in the freeroll will need to post there. I'll PM the password just before gametime.

Tony Cheval · #12 12-09-05, 04:09 PM

Rockin, I can do Tuesday night.

PShabi · #13 12-10-05, 12:01 AM

Is this set up yet?

Talking Poker · #14 12-10-05, 12:20 AM

Haven't heard back yet, so I assume no.

I'll follow up.

thrash1294 · #15 12-10-05, 12:51 AM

Great job !!!!!!

I cant play that one

But Good Luck to ALL

Aequitas58 · #16 12-10-05, 06:14 AM

That night would probably work for me...

Talking Poker · #17 12-10-05, 11:09 AM

Who are you again?

Aequitas58 · #18 12-10-05, 03:45 PM

You know... the guy who had that great idea last week, and who you also decided to bust.

Talking Poker · #19 12-10-05, 06:26 PM

Oh, right! THAT guy!!! Sorry about that - I just lumped you in with all the rest.

It was a good idea though. We need to have more TP only private CASH tables.

helmuths henchman · #20 12-11-05, 07:36 AM

Perhaps maybe not this event, but can we occasionally have an event on a Wednesday. Besides the weekend Wednesday is the only night i'm off work. Whether yes or no thank you for the consideration!

Nikita · #21 12-11-05, 10:19 AM

Ok, the Royal Vegas software is really pissing me off now. I've been playing on the site for a bit to get used to it before the freeroll and I've been having nothing but problems. Almost once a session it freezes and crashes on me, one time, it happened three times in a row. I can't have any other programs open when running it, or it runs slow. The crappy part is it's usually in the middle of a hand I'm in or the middle of a tournament. I think once this freeroll is over, I'm uninstalling it, it's not worth the hassle (I'm not even wanting to win money at the freeroll, I don't want the trouble of trying to withdraw it). I'd uninstall it now, but I'd like the chance to play with everyone again.

Has anyone else been having these issues? Hawt, Rook, Pshabi, you all played on the site. And I can't see it being something on my end (althought I will consider that option) because I've never disconnected on any other poker site.

PShabi · #22 12-11-05, 10:46 AM

I've only played during the other freeroll. No problems.

Talking Poker · #23 12-12-05, 01:48 PM

pshabi - They FINALLY got back to me. Tuesday is now full, despite the plenty of notice I gave them. Can you do Thursday at 10 PM? That is what they are offering now.

PShabi · #24 12-12-05, 02:42 PM

Thursday is fine. Just get the sticky up to provide enough notice.

I'll be sure to accidentally not get the pw out so I can battle myself for first.

Tony Cheval · #25 12-12-05, 03:13 PM

Aw nuts, I'll probably be working Thursday night. Unless you mean 10pm Pacific?
