oh, one other thing:

to minimize the number of sitouts, password sellers and the like, id suggest you post the password no more than 30mins before gametime...

(excepting of course PMing of the regulars on this forum in advance)

just my two cents.

Already decided this. Most people here will be able to get it as soon as they want it, but the noobs are going to have to wait.

I hate when people sit out. You nvr see people doing that in real tournaments. You should lose if u sit out for more than 10 minutes. Anyone agree?

I dunno, live I wouldnt mind so much because your hand can be immediately mucked and chips taken. Its not that big of an issue. If someone like drama queen hellmuth wants to be late...whatever, hopefully ill have 1 or 2 of his blinds.

Yeah. What he said. I'll "reward" Quality over Quantity any day. See Exhibit A: Kurn vs. BrianSwa.

some of the poker sites are starting to boot people after 10min if u havent played a hand in the freeroll. i like that idea but i have been 11min late 1 time and didnt get to play and was kinda upset but all well, i knew the rules and shoulda been on time. it makes for a better freeroll when u are playing at a table where every1 is playing instead of 3 or 4 people out of 9 or 10 are playing. i hope more sites change the rules on the sitters in freerolls in the future. now as for buy-in tourneys, if u want to pay and sit out thats fine by me. more money in the prize pool for me!!

hi, i am new to the forum and just want to introduce myself. i have been playing on PS for almost a year now and saw the freeroll in the private section and thought i'd check out the forum. 50 posts does seem like a lot but it definitely will weed out a lot of people that dont contribute to the forum. i will give it a shot and maybe see u guys at the tables at the end of the month. i go by drkneenie on PS also.

well, one thing that happens when a PW is released and ppl sign up way in advance is-they simply forget to come play!

or another engagement (poker- or non-poker-related) comes up in the interim..etc etc

which is why a PW should always be released as close to gametime as possible, IMHO.

one more suggestion:

instead of having a single one monthly, say $100/$200, freeroll on stars, why not have *weekly* $25/$50 ones?

this should get ppl excited, which should in turn lead to increased activity/traffic on the forum (like it or not, ppl, noobs or regulars, will have to get/remain actively engaged in it) which should in turn lead to more linked signups/deposits thru the forum, and so on, and so forth...

hosting a pvt tourney on stars is IMHO as good of an advertisement for a forum/site as one can possibly get short of buying TV time...

i see the forum now has somewhat fewer than 500 members. with a few regular tourneys on stars, it should break the 1K barrier easy and move steadily up. this should also in turn naturally give more weight to the forum when negotiating deals with the poker sites, etc etc...

and yes of course this all should attract its share of password sellers, multiple acct cheats and the usual riff-raff, but thats the unfortunate side effect of things, alas. so be it...on the flip side, it will also attract a good number of honest poker sharks/enthusiasts too.

so, TP, whaddya say?

I say it's worth consideration, for sure... just playing it by ear right now.

Dear Thelaterdays,

If you think there is any chance in hell I'm going to let you play in this freeroll if you make 50 random, useless, worthless, in the wrong threads, etc posts, you are clearly mistaken. In fact, I'll lay 2:1 that you get banned from the forum long before that would happen.

I'm going to be nice and give you a fresh shot at this (I'll be nice and credit with with "1" as of right now), but please don't insult me and the rest of this forum with those "quality" posts.

For the record, everyone else's "normal" posting has been fine. But this type of crap is not:

im in

now i just have to remember to be available at the time of the tourney.

by the way, to the newbies that are trying to make the 50 posts: there are easily enough threads here that getting 50 posts by then shouldnt be that hard. no reason whatsoever to fill up threads with a bunch of shit. just pathetic.

add to the forum, and i would assume that we will see more of these freerolls in the future, because they have obvious value to TP if the freerolls increase forum traffic significantly.

Personally I would like to see a semi-regular 'league' setup, but we've been over that before.

There needs to be a bi-monthly $10 buyin tourney with a fucking leaderboard.

Maybe top 10 after X weeks get entered in a "TOC" freeroll.

That's a good idea, we seem to be a fairly stable group here, why restrict ourselves to short-term?

Ouch, i feel you. That really stinks that you got there 1 minute late!!!! But it kind of is ur fault u were late in the first place. But, I still hate people sitting out because u don't rack up nearly as many chips as regularly. Talk to you later everyone!

I just bolded a few things in the first post in this thread that some people seem to be missing.

I'm not kidding. I'm not expecting long essays, but I'm not an idiot either and I can tell who is posting worthless crap just for the sake of inflating their post count.

Once again, I will be more likely to allow someone who makes 40 quality posts into the freeroll than someone who makes 100 crappy ones.

Don't let this happen to you:
