Arrow $100 Freeroll for TalkingPoker.com Posters!

We've had a lot of fun when we've all played together in the past, so let's do it again. But this time, how about if I pony up ALL the cash, and we have ourselves a good old fashioned freeroll???

I haven't set it up yet, but it will be on on either 11/30 or 12/1, probably after 9 PM ET. That's when you guys have said in the past is best for you. I'll update this post in a few days after I decide on an exact date and time.

In order to keep this amongst friends, there are going to be some easy to meet requirements for getting in: For the month of November (yesterday will be included), people need to make a certain number of ***** reasonable quality, poker related posts *****. The number of posts you need to make depends on how much you have contributed in the past. If you've made 5000 or more posts, you're already in - woohoo, that's me! Here are the requirements for everyone else (Pre-November Post Count, Number of quality posts you need to make in November):

Post Count ----- November Posts Required To Play
1000+............... 5
500-999............ 10
200-499............ 15
50-199.............. 20
<50.................. 50

So as you can see, for those that have been posting here regularly, this will be a piece of cake. Even for those who have only posted occasionally, making 20 posts isn't hard at all. But for any brand new people who see this and want to take part in the freeroll, they are going to have to make 50 posts. That might sound like a lot, but making 50 posts is actually quite easy.

BTW, regarding the "quality" part. I'm not expecting long essasy and that sort of thing. All I'm saying is I don't want to count the no-brainer posts, like making NFL picks, one line insults, Railbird updates, "Me too," "I always lose with AA!" and so on. The final judge of "quality" is me.

So, once you think you've made the required number of quality posts, PM me and I'll send you the touney password so you can register. Do NOT share the password with anyone else - that kills the point of this whole thing, which is to reward the contributors around here.

If all goes well, we'll do this again next month - with a bigger prizepool.

Probably not... when I polled everyone in the past, weeknights were a lot more popular than weekends. Sorry.

how about having recurring freerolls AND/OR buyin pvt tourneys on stars (say anywhere from a buck to 11 bucks)?

also, how about having a forum league (say, 10 games in 10 consecutive weeks or so-freeroll or buyin or combo)?

stars is IMHO THE best site there is and we should definitely have regular events there.

just my two cents.

We've tried both of these ideas in the past, with mixed results. When we manage to get everyone together, the forum tourneys are a blast.... the problem is getting everyone together.

We tried to league thing too, but the turnouts were so bad, we had to scratch them.

Thanks for the 2 cents though. And I know I haven't said it yet, so welcome to the forum!

I think because it's a freeroll, not just a normal Private tourney.

Please see post #1 in this thread. As a brand new user, you would fall into the <50 posts before November category, meaning you'll need 50 posts.

1 down, 49 to go! Then send me a PM and I'll send you the password.

You will send me a PM (Private Message) telling me that you got to 50 posts. I will reply to you via PM with the password. And then you will ahve the password.

2 posts down, 48 to go. But admittedly, the "quality" of #1 and #2 is questionable. Remember, it's supposed to be 50 quality posts.

Again, please just read the first post in this thread for all the details. I think it's spelled out pretty clearly.

Looks like I'm going to miss out on this one. I'll try to post 50 but I don't want mindless posts connecting with my name haha. Wish you all luck. I busted out on PS awhile ago so I'm always looking for ways to get a bankroll going again there. Glad TP has successfully arranged this with PS I don't see many private FREErolls so thanks in advance for the next one!
