$100 of free money in April...

[Talking Poker]

Ok, here's what I've come up with:

1. A $25 bounty on my head in (tomorrow night).

2. $25 for the "TP Poster of the Month" - We'll take nominations on May 1st and then have a poll after that.

3. $20 for some .

4. $20 for the person who starts the longest POKER RELATED thread in the month of April (threads started between 4/1 and right now DO count). Length will be determined by the number of replies in the thread MINUS the thread starter's posts in said thread. The thread must be in one of the "All Things Poker" sections (Railbird threads excluded), and I reserve the right to disqualify any thread that gets off topic or turns into a non-productive argue-fest.

Edit: League threads, contest threads, and that sort of thing also do not count.

5. $10 for the first person to get their Aces cracked after RIGHT NOW (no old HHs) in a real money game (Edit: cash game OR tourney). The game can be any limit (Hold'Em only), but it must be from a site where any of us can request the HH to verify it's legit. Just be the first person to post it in this thread, and once it's verified, you win.

Edit: There must be a SHOWDOWN for the hand to qualify. You can't just fold AA after the flop and claim victory.

Tada.

#5 is a nice touch.

[eejit101]

i love 5 too

[bunny]

Would be more fun if #5 was KK.

I've had a miserable time with them, every since I stumbled upon this forum and the Rogue23 "Kiss of Death" theory.

[Talking Poker]

I also like #5. Actually thought of it at the very last minute. We've never had a contest quite like that before.

And yeah, I could have made it KK, but I wanted to contest to last more than 5 minutes.

[SirFWALGMan]

Well this is not great but I got my AA cracked by 44 in the WWDN last night. Not a bad beat by any means. 3xBB (60) raise pre-flop and all the money in on the flop. If it qualifies I can dig up the HH.

** Oops I guess I was 12hrs too early. Oh well, wait until tonight!

How is that for a badish beat?

[eejit101]

yeah, that sucks

[SirFWALGMan]

If I didnt have a real job I could have won the 20$ too.. lol.

[Talking Poker]

That was awesome. You were just a little bit ahead of your time...

This was definitely my favorite part of it, btw:
mookie99 said, "hear that giant sucking sound ?"

LOL.

[SirFWALGMan]

I have the worse. luck. ever. (sometimes).

[eejit101]

Do we have $10 for quote of the year?

Theres the winner

[Talking Poker]

Nah.... He spelled worsT wrong. That ruins the whole thing!

[eejit101]

good point, damn bad typists spoil it for eveyrone

[Talking Poker]

I see no reason to drag these contests out any longer. The winners are all clear:

1. Lucky ass eejit. PAID.
2. pshabi. I was going to put this up to a vote and he very likely would have won anyway, but after that he posted earlier today, it's a done deal. We're lucky to have pshabi here. He literally makes this forum a better place.
3. Jtown and hiimbob split this 15/5. PAID.
4. Aeq - I think it was pretty clear he had this locked up as soon as he started . Hopefully this $20 will give your bankroll a little boost.
5. nflchad - Scroll up. PAID.

So, everyone has been paid except for pshabi and Aeq. pshabi said he'd like to donate his $25 to the TPF League II, which is very generous of him, but if he'd like to change his mind, I'll let him. Aeq - send me your new Stars name and I'll transfer you some dough.

Congrats to the winners!
