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 think...
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

Ok, I think it's time to wrap up this contest and pick a winner, so effective right now, no more entries will be accepted.
The (valid) contestants are........................................... JTown15 WizeGuy himbob12 Shadowknife GutzLord And that's it. So, how am I going to pick a winner? Well, that's pretty easy, actually. First, let's cross off the people who ONLY posted in this thread (clearly they are more interested in the $20 than becoming contributing members of this site - as much as I like those psycho eyeballs and the pic of bunny, this is the best way to pick a winner). So, that leaves us with: JTown15 himbob12 Wow, that certainly narrowed it down! We are left with exactly 2 candidates. Both made their first post in this thread on the 5th, with JTown being first. JTown has made a total of 9 posts, while himbob has made 17. JTown's most recent post was on the 18th, while himbob's was on the 22nd. They both logged on to the site as recently as yesterday. Going by that alone, I lean towards himbob. BUT.... the most important factor for me is the QUALITY of the posts being made, and especially the quality of each of their first posts in this thread, since that's what this entire contest was about. And based on that, I'm leaning towards JTown. I wouldn't want to runner up to feel completely shafted though, so here's what we're going to do. Neither of them is logged on right now (neither has been on yet today, in fact), so as best I can tell, this is fair. The first person (JTown or himbob only) to reply to this thread with their Stars name will receive $15 and the other will receive $5. If the other guy doesn't ALSO reply to this thread with his Stars name within 24 hours of when the first person replied, the first guy gets the whole $20. Sounds fair to me. Let the games continue! To all the other former lurkers (and especially Shadowknife, who has lurked here since 2004!), thanks for finally popping your posting cherry and I hope to see you posting more in the future. |

Hello TalkingPoker,
I am eighteen years old, a senior in high school, and poker is my dearest love. I used to play only weekly live games with my friends, but i had begun to grow tired of playing with the same people and for such a limited amount of time (i also felt bad taking their money on a regular basis :-D) So, i began supplementing my desire to play cards 24/7 by getting my friend (KMB4, member of this blog) to lend me a few dollars to play Pokerstars. I always seemed to build my bank up to $50 then blow it all in .10/.25 cash or $10+1 sngs. Recently i hit my big break winning $450 for my friend in a $10+1 deepstacks tourny on his sn and getting 50% of the profit i earned for him ($170). From there i had about $220 in my account and i was smart putting only 5% of my money into any sit and go, tournament, or cash game. Everything was going fine - i was hovering around $400-$500 - when my interim came and i had a D-, a C+, and some other not so good grades. My parents promptly uninstalled pokerstars from my computer and made me withdraw all of my winnings ($349). My current pokerstars account balance: $0.00. Now my only way to stay connected to the online poker world without any Pokerstars is by visiting . I enjoy reading about the bad beats people take, the situations TalkingPoker is put under in those difficult 90 man sngs, and all the other random poker talk on this site. Reading people's accounts is the closest thing to actually playing. Since i am not playing i have nothing to post, but i still visit this blog frequently. My parents are going to let me play Pokerstars again in May when AP exams are finally over, but the problem is i have no way to deposit, and all of my friends are out of Pokerstars money. I know I am probably not the most deserving blogger for this $20, but i feel that if i get the $20 i will be smart with it (play .01/.02 NL and $1.20 sngs) and hopefully build-up a bankroll big enough to safely play those 90 man $50+5 sngs with Talking Poker himself! :-D |

Two things:
1. Welcome to the forum. Well, welcome to posting in the forum, anyway. 2. If you are unable to deposit, how did you cash out? |

LOL. Not quite. You must have used a translator. His french isn't all that bad. You have to remember, Quebecers are used to slang words, so we'd understand "poste" in the context it is written and not in the meaning of the word itself. If a Quebecer, such as myself, translates this; you'd get: I speak (write) a very very very little French. And thankyou for the photo sexy of bunny. Hawh-hawh-hawh-HUH! (My laugh francais) Wow...my french is shit, eh? Goodbye. (Salut = bye) First off, we don't have a stupid French laugh, we're not honky tonk people. We say, "eh" or "ay" a lot. I mean "a lot". We end it at every (verbal) sentence whether it needs to be there or not. Form of habit. LOL = RTF (rire tres fort) |

I was going for the France french, but bunny's Quyebec translation is closer to what I intended. I think eejit just did a sucky job of translating. That's what I think.
And I remembered the word for "write" - Sweet! As for the laugh, you know that old stereotype... from about 1000 movies and tv shows. It's not a literal sound - it's the "I am so much better than you" kind of laugh. It's a bitch to spell though. |
