Sorry Chumley, the Comedy Forum is over -----> there.

will do, i would really like the oppurtunity of a freeroll. But I understand your stress of quality posts, I've seen quit a bit of junk around here the past couple of days by people trying to get to the minumum number of posts.

Yeah, This freeroll should be pretty cool....i hope i can do well and hopefully place..i placed in another one..but first hand i got out with AA..to 10-6..yeah kinda bad..but w.e..im back and ready for more

After reading this I think of a portions of one of my favorite movies...Full Metal Jacket...if you've seen it then you can understand it's meaning and associate it to these last few posts.


"Holy Jezus, Private Pyle...What is that? What the fuck is that?"

Aww, it sucks to be new. :p No tourney for me. :mad:

Look at it this way, you can get a head start on the next one (yeah right, like TP will ever try THIS again) :D

Actually, we definitely WILL have more freerolls in the future.... we just won't have the post requirements that leads to useless posts all over the place. I like the invite only idea for people I think are worthy contributors...

So yes, stick around and start contributing QUALITY posts and you'll be in the next one for sure.

1) invite only always

2) pass by PM only and only to invitees, never in forum

3) TP, forget individual freerolls...how about a nice little forum league, maybe with buyin events too? :)

i was just going to bring that point up also. I think that would be a great idea. Maybe a 10 or 20 dollar buy in would be great. what do you guys think?

Yeah, that's a much better idea, don't even throw out a number just say 'I will invite any and all reasonable contributors'. Your money, your ball.

password and posts
 

so i need 50 posts to get into the freeroll of pokerstars? how do i know if i have 50 posts and where do i get the password then?

They're getting more forum members just because of that freeroll. Imagine how many people been doing a search on google to find that site. :D

Why don't we just move to have the Freeroll thread removed completely so the whores who happen by don't have anything to get all hot and bothered about? If I'm not mistaken you can restrict the freeroll tournies you do want to have and just invite those deserving by PM. Just a thought. :cool:

I've unstickied this thread. Maybe that will draw a little less attention to it :)

BTW - for anyone who believes they have qualified and deserve the password, please PM me tomorrow afternoon. If I feel that you deserve to be in the freeroll, I will reply with the password just before the tourney starts (5-10 minutes, most likely). I don't want to risk the password leaking out and getting a bunch of strangers in.

DO NOT SHARE THE PASSWORD WITH ANYONE.

crap - i ended up not being able to get off work tomorrow - do u want me to unregister from the tourny or wut ? I might be able to make it home an hour after it stars- but im sure i'll be blinded out by then.

Your call. You qualified, so what you do is up to you...

hey
 

well can I play in it for 1 hour? It starts at 9pm and I can play until about 10:15pm and I only needed 5 posts so think i got it.

JD do you really want Brian playing your hands for you until you get back :D

just joking Brian

no
 

I wanted to sign up my own not play for JD.

Unfortunately I won't be able to play tomorrow. A friend flew into town today and I'm going to take him to the casino for the first time.

I'm going to unregister. Feel free to give my seat to Rookette. :eek:

Well nuts, I'm closing tomorrow night, so no dice (or cards). :(

man with all these ppl not bein able to play i think everyone is going to make the $

Speak for yourself!

What time tomorrow would u want those of us who think we are qualified to send you a PM, and about what time would u send the PW....or did u literally mean like 5-10 min before the tourney...i am really lookng forward to seeing everyone there

Good Idea, Great forum
 

I just wanted to say that I am new to this forum and have browsed around and a bit and think this is great for people who like to <talk poker. And your thing with the free-rolls is a great idea, Great opportunity for the great people that keep this going, I do agree with one i read earlier that it isn't fair to those to have been around a great while to have people just register in hopes of being able to participate in the tours. Just thought to boast a sec, thanks for such a wonderful site and i look forward to chatting with you all and getting to know more about the great game of poker as I have just taken it up recently. :p

i know you're trying to be funny Dogg but....like i said ....don't want to take part in the freeroll anymore.... woulda been fun but w/e ....there'll probably be others and i'll take part in future freerolls if i'm allowed to do so....

least i won't be tagged as a " freeroll chasin loser noobette...." lol

PM me anytime after 4 or 5:00, let's say.... and I will literally PM you back with the password just before the tourney starts.

I don't want to risk it getting out and having all sort of strangers from another board show up, etc. If anyone even hears talk along those lines, please let me know.

Oops, I think that I already pm'd you once already for the password like 2 days ago before I knew this. Sorry about that. I'll just pm you again after 4:00 tomorrow. Thanks for the freeroll. Looking forward to it.

gOT TO LOVE THEM FREEROLLS!

FYI: If I win this:


The prize pool for the freeroll is going up, one way or another. Bounties, added prized, I don't know what. But if I win (top 3), I'm kicking in more cash for this.

Go me! :)

TP,

ive got a better idea. if you win that, it should go towards a league.
forget this, or any other, individual pvt events/freerolls.

thats right, im going to keep bothering you about this, because i have the best of intentions and i know im right in this one instance. :D

Well, I've got money to give to this forum one way or another. If you guys want it in this freeroll (added prizes and/or bounties), great. If you'd rather me run a contest or something, we can do that too. If you'd rather I hold it for another event, that's fine too. Speak up.

something different...please...save yourself......

i vote for a league. lets say 10 games in 10 successive weeks (make them on a weekday, pls, as we all know sat/sun are big event/sat/qualifier days on all the major sites)

lets say make them half freeroll and half buyin, all equally counting towards the league standings. that, in itself, should effectively shoo away any potential remaining freeroll chasers.

keep the individual tourney prizes as small as possible, give the rest/bulk of the total prize pool to the final league winner(s) up/down to, say, 10th place or so.

thats it from me...what do the rest of you think?

oh and TP i think this whole topic merits a whole separate thread in itself, possibly stickied too. :)

hi guys i need help with this site :cool:

it is really confusing

also to let you know im good at poker

also i want to get in the pker tournement

so i getting the hang of this site

also this so far my favorite site

Do NOT multiple post like that. I merged your posts (this time). It WILL NOT get you into the freeroll so don't waste your time.

Well since i'm not going to be in this freeroll ....i'm routing for YOU ...TP ...to come out in top 3 so that .....YES.....maybe we can have another freeroll....and at least i'll have done my part to be included in that one.....

done
 

he did

It's your loot
 

Do whatever you want with it.

But I say spice up the freeroll.

League
 

A leaugue was mentoined, that would be something I would be interested in doing also for what it's worth. Seems like a great place to come and discuss things and the people here seem to be remarkable. Good Luck and may the cards fall.

hey
 

I think we should do private pay leauges, I know all the freeroll chasers hate this but for the actull real money players think it would be fun. Do like leaugue games every tuesday and friday giving points for top finishers and make top 4 placeing count. I could get you a leaugue calculator if you want it.

How about a pay league ($5 and $10 events) and the day before each event you have an open freeroll (with no prize pool-just set one up somewhere) and the winner of that gets a free entry (or the entry fee at Pokerstars or something). That way there really isn't any direct prize in the freeroll (to avoid the problems we have been having lately) and there is a CHANCE to get into the events for free for those that can't afford it or don't have money in the site, etc, etc...

Also, in general if you wanted to hold another freeroll some other time, you could set something up without a prize pool (how we have done the heads up matches). That way all the prizes are distributed by you directly and you can catch anyone who is trying to sneak in/buy passwords/etc.

A poker league sounds interesting and I'd consider joining. Although, I'm not familar with how the rules work with a poker league, but I'm guessing it's similar to other sports leagues.

I'm confused....hmmm....isn't the freeroll later on today?

k....got it ...reread TP's post over again....Congrats TP!

i hear ya mr.AA ...i feel the same way..but i will give it a shot !!!

so you need 50 post for the 100$ freeroll

what about new members

i really want to be in that 100$ freroll because pokerstar is the only site i play

thats my favorite poker site

;) because it has the best tourements
