$250 Freeroll for TP members - 11/30/06 9:30 PM
 
Feel free to not read this first section, as it's just background on where this freeroll is coming from, in case anyone cares: As some of you may have noticed, has been promoted fairly heavily in the SPAM section for the last few months. I know some members here got a little bit annoyed by this, myself included. I don't mind the spam so much (they were posting it in the right section, unlike 90% of the spammers who come here and get instabanned), but what I won't tolerate are people making multiple accounts, pretending to be different people, and having conversations with themselves. This happened a couple of times, resulting in numerous bannings and finally a PM to DreamPoker (the only account I didn't ban). Turns out Conrad is a decent guy, and felt badly for the excessive spamming. He says the only posts he made were under his account and the others must have been other people from his office. Whether this is true or not doesn't really matter. What matters is that he promised to put a stop to it and offered us a $250 freeroll as sort of an apology and a "Let's start over - come check out our site" type thing. Who am I to turn down a $250 freeroll???

OK, here are the details:

Name displayed in Tournament Lobby: Talking Poker Freeroll
Tournament ID : 656329
Tournament Type: Free Roll
Game: Hold'em

In the mean time, go ahead and get your accounts created on (if you don't have them already) and check out the site. BTW, they have a $10 free promotion just for creating a new account - no deposit required!

I think when I signed up a long time back you had to email them after sign-up then they would credit your account in 72 hours.

Aequitas58 11-15-06 04:30 PM

Nice gesture. Unless I have obligations on the 30th, I don't mind taking this down. :) Are we going to be able to withdrawal? LOL.

Talking Poker 11-15-06 04:53 PM

ha! I hope so. :thumbsup:

kmb13592 11-15-06 05:19 PM

Anyone know if there are account to account transfers on this site?

jimmym 11-15-06 06:22 PM

Thats a nice offer for us 250 freeroll and there may be only a few , I will register with them at a later date, never played at this site but a free 10 and freeroll I will have to give it a go.:thumbsup:

Nikita 11-15-06 07:57 PM

Well, with this gesture, I'm willing to try them out for a bit. And I will be there for the freeroll.

DreamPoker 11-16-06 12:10 AM

Hi Guys,

Please be sure to read our freeroll T&C before doing any withdrawals.

You can view them here.



Simply:

1. You need to be a real money player, having made at least a $20 purchase.
2. Play 25 raked hands which is easy to do, :) even for me. :)

Once those play through requirements have been met our cashins division
will let your request go through.

It's really not hard at all.:thumbsup:

GeoffM 11-16-06 09:41 AM

Sounds like fun, I don't mind getting my ass handed to me by you guys at hold-em.

Get ready for dozens of new underage members posting here closer to tourney time and wanting to play ;)

graidar 11-26-06 02:58 AM

MAYHEM45 11-27-06 06:00 PM

No, and No. Bye!

Talking Poker 11-28-06 04:41 PM

For those who haven't opened accounts yet, make sure you leave yourself enough time to do so. It takes a few minutes. Clicking on my link should be enough to tie you to me, but if it asks you for a referral, I'm Rogue23.

Thanks.

I'm planning on posting the tourney password sometime on Thursday... probably not long before the tourney begins. Anyone wil 1000+ posts or someone who is a trusted "regular" here (you know who you are), feel free to PM me in advance for the password.

The tourney can be found under Multi-Table Tournaments/Special/Talking Poker Freeroll.

graidar 11-29-06 12:38 PM

Here comes the wave of new first timers ;)

thrash1294 11-30-06 11:00 AM

It must be up on dream already
due to the new members or crashers:D

murkosk 11-30-06 11:11 AM

wow
 
so many new people, I wonder if they are going to stay for longer time on TP :)

Talking Poker 11-30-06 12:25 PM

For those who are having trouble reading the first post in this thread that explains everything, here is the important part:

-----
Tournament Password: Will be posted here sometime after registration opens, but most likely not until just before the tourney begins.
-----

And for those of you brand new people who have been PMing me asking for the password, no, you can not have it in advance.

I really don't see what is so difficult to understand.

Talking Poker 11-30-06 12:26 PM

They never do.

Sadly, this is usually a good thing for us, as you can probably tell from the quality of their posts.

Talking Poker 11-30-06 12:31 PM

OK, the amount of brand new people who keep PMing me and asking for the password is getting out of control. If this continues, I may start banning these people, and then they won't be able to view this thread to see the password tonight, right before the freeroll starts.

Just freaking relax and check here a a little while before the tourney starts. Damn.

Last warning.

vex86 11-30-06 12:57 PM

I will wait patiently for the password here, it is good not to see it upfront.
BTW nice design of the forum ;)

Tony Cheval 11-30-06 01:09 PM

Why would we be allowing new members to play anyway, wasn't this supposed to be an apology for inconveniencing those of us who WERE ALREADY HERE when he spammed the forum?

murkosk 11-30-06 02:17 PM

True!
 
Amen! :cheers:

He probably didnt red the whole story.

rayv 11-30-06 02:39 PM

rayv 11-30-06 02:42 PM

How do i up grade from being a fish:)

vex86 11-30-06 02:44 PM

Isn't these freerolls for reqruiting new members to the forums? What is the point
of them?

Robbie Robb 11-30-06 02:44 PM

Stick around after the freeroll, make some quality posts and world is your oyster! :cheers:

*sighs deeply*

thrash1294 11-30-06 05:34 PM

Anyway if want to know the password its on rpg:cool: right?

minor slam on chip

Plus I just got Apm for the password Guess what I dont have it and if I did Iwould not give it out

Spuddy 11-30-06 05:56 PM

I registered, now just looking to play


Tp sent you a PM


Looking forward to this guys! :)

Tony Cheval 11-30-06 06:59 PM

I like how all these chumps keep posting their DreamPoker IDs.

Yeah, have fun getting your accounts hacked by less scrupulous folks than us, morons.

Talking Poker 11-30-06 07:11 PM

Nothing against people from Russia, but based on the ridiculous amount of PMs I have gotten today, I can't help but wonder if Dream Poker's site is made up of 90% Russians or something.

Or maybe the language barrier simply prevents them from understanding the first post in this thread where I say that
THE PASSWORD WILL BE POSTED HERE SHORTLY BEFORE THE FREEROLL STARTS. STOP SENDING ME PMS ASKING FOR IT!!!

Mon Dieu! (That was for bunny)

Talking Poker 11-30-06 07:12 PM

I keep wondering that too. Where did it say to post their usernames, account numbers, email addresses, or ANYTHING like that???

I'd be so happy if we could get like 2 or 3 new useful posters out of this mess, but I know better than to get my hopes up. :(

luke214 11-30-06 07:16 PM

Your Doing it to yourself
 
They keep asking your for the password because you have 8 people sign up,And there still no password,That kind of fun dont you think.

Zybomb 11-30-06 07:20 PM

TP why would you post the password here?

This freeroll is for our members, not freeroll chasers with no contributions to the forum. I'd PM all real members the PW when you plan to release it (PMings all real user who are logged in at around that time) No one else deserves anything

jimmym 11-30-06 07:24 PM

Got to agree with this strongly TP. The freeroll is a gift to TP members because of Dreampokers agressive spamming in the beginning.

It should be members only who contribute, not a free for all, with ppl who wont come back, If any new members want to stay around after they will realise this is a good forum and contribute and enter any further freerolls.

Spuddy 11-30-06 07:24 PM

Thats not a bad idea

milheiro 11-30-06 07:30 PM

Im a new member..ide liker also to play...if its possible....


Best Regards,
Ricardo Milheiro

vex86 11-30-06 07:43 PM

How more greedy can you be? This freeroll is for members of the forum, new or old.

BrianSwa 11-30-06 07:46 PM

actully
 


its for memebers who had to deal with all the spam from dream poker, not for idiots that stop by to try to win 5 dollars then leave to donate it at some NL game never to be seen of again.....well maybe they might come back next year when we have another freeroll. I wont be in it because I'am too busy tonight and dream poker wont load for some reason GL all.

jimmym 11-30-06 07:46 PM

How to win friends and influence people:cheers:

Zybomb 11-30-06 07:49 PM

Greedy? LOL

First of all I may or may not play in the freeroll tonight, so what Im saying is not for me but for others.

Secondly the freeroll is for members of the forum, not people who came here SPECIFICALLY AND ONLY for the freeroll. It is not meant to attract new members, nor is made to attract "freeroll chasers" It's meant so the community here can play with each other -- that simple

We had a freeroll once before and it resulted in a bunch of annoying posts, begging etc and it was quite annoying, which is why we decided never to do one again -- this time someone hosted one for us.

If you'd like feel free to stick around. There are some very good and successful players around here who can fine tune your game. Once you are a member of the community next time a deal like this comes up you'd be welcome

luke214 11-30-06 07:56 PM

If you guys are good player then why do you care who you have to beat.And some of us would never have hear of your forum if you didnt come to dream poker.And just maybe you could learn something from some of the new guys

traca69 11-30-06 07:58 PM

Any idea when the password will be up?
