Default Challenge of the Poker Forums !

Hey whatcha all think about 2 poker forums going up against each other?

Not going to mention the pkr forum just yet cus that would be spamming but already spoke to the other forum administrator and he's agreed to it if TP agrees to it too.

other pkr forum VS. TALKINGPOKER.COM should be fun and exciting as well as challenging.

I was thinking; how about making it a low buy in, maybe $5.00 if possible. Only their members and our members allowed; can't wait to see both administrators up against each other

Well... just an idea I had ; let me know whatcha all think about it. I love it btw

Default It got kinda crazy, but what do you expect?

It started here:


Chip got a little spunky:



Then here, when we dominated:




Then, the carnage that followed:





Edit: This was multiforum by the way. It did lead to a head to head and maybe another tourney with a forum or two. Honestly, we sucked at having people show up.

Yes, to TP's room for punishment. (I like Rob).

We tried this once before, and it sort of worked out, but mostly didn't. A few of our members decided to mouth off a bit (in good nature, but it was taken wrong), and then things snowballed out of control and, well, it made us look bad, IMO. We actually ended up losing some members to the other forums (they were nice enough to PM me and explain why they were leaving), and as best I could tell, gained 0. So.................. all in all, that didn't work out so great.

And yes, we tried being in a league for a while, but our attendance sucked ass, so we basically quit doing it.

If you guys are interested in doing this, I'm ok with it. Here's hoping we can all act like grownups this time, and maybe get some new members out of it, instead of just losing people to the other "friendlier" forum.

Either PM me the details, or, since most everyone seems to know what you are talking about anyway, just go ahead and post them here.

P.S. My room - 5 minutes.

Sorry Pshabi, but would rather wait till I get ok from TP.

BTW...I read the links you posted and that was way kewl...but this wouldn't be a league. This is a one time event. One tourney; that's it that's all. Unless TP decides otherwise. But as it stands, the other administrator is game to this.

Well, I still don't have any details to base a decision on, but as I said, if people want to play, sure, we'll play. I'd hate to set it up and have 3 of us show up to face 60 of them though. No thanks...

If it's the forum I think it is, then 3 vs 60 ought to be about even

LMAO (@ ur P.S.)

ok well the forum in question is......Pokerflea

They had a freeroll tonight and I...again...happened to be in it. (me runs for fear TP will bring out the handcuffs ) lol

Well, had a nice chat with the administrator there and he invited me to his forum. But since I'm devoted to you TP.... *cough* meant to say, devoted to this forum I declined his invitation to join. Told him your Forum was the best.

Then I brought up the challenge and he accepted it. So now I'm asking you if you're willing to go for it. It's a one time deal TP. And we can't make it too pricey. We want to get as much members in it as possible and most don't have a huge bankroll. So as soon as your ready and you agree to this I'll Im him and give him your ok.

I did however try to go in to have a look around at his forum but wasn't able to. They don't allow guests. You either register or nothing. The reason for this was to apologize to him for advertising your forum on his freeroll tonight. Wasn't right but he forgave me so all is kewl.

Sounds good. Go for it... Just so you know, the lowest buy in I can set up at Poker Stars is $10. If he'd like to set this up, that's fine with me. We'll be there.

FYI - I'm out of the country from the 4th through the 11th, so let's shoot for sometime AFTER that, if you want me to play.

Now... where did I put those handcuffs?

ok sounds good

Wouldn't be a challenge without you in it TP. Will be fun to watch the poker combat between the 2 administrators; moderators and members

So I'm gonna set this up with him and let you know the details a.s.a.p. I'll see what date is available after the 11th; and will check dates from your league so that we don't pick same dates.

This is gonna be so kewl if it all goes through. Thx for the thumbs up TP!

Hmm...I have this idea but don't know if it's possible or if you'd go for it, so I'm gonna mention it to you before contacting the other forum admin.

Was thinking.... how about we make it a $5 buy-in; payable to you in advance & then you use that to make it a freeroll type tourney using the $5/member? No need to call it a freeroll, just name it whatever you want; just asking to see if that's even possible to do.

See, this way you'll get more members from the forums involved, instead of just the ones with a big bankroll. More members, more fun...more of a challenge. (Maybe even more prizes)

Also we'd know for sure how many players would be in it once they pay their buyin. If you just make it the $10 buy-in, most members say they'll be there but might not even show up. This guarantees you that the players will show up; being they don't want to lose their buy-in.

We can also advertise on the outside too. Get new members to come in here to join our team in order to challenge the other team forum.

Did I tell you I'm a damn good PR person lol weeeeee....I'm lovin' this idea.

Just a few suggestions. Let me know what you think.

P.S: I don't have any real New Year's resolutions; so I'm gonna help you make one of yours happen.

It's a good idea in theory Rook, but even though we don't want to call it a freeroll, without an actual buy-in at PS, it's a freeroll. If we do that, I can see a ton of crashers trying to get in. Look what happened to shabi and the forum with the RVP one. I don't think TP wants to go through that again. And personally, I'd be afraid to put my $5 in and then have a tournament with a bunch of crashers.

I've also actually been at that site. When I wanted to learn more about poker, I started searching for poker sites and stumbled on that one first. All I found there was a bunch of freeroll chasers. People begging for passwords to freerolls they weren't invited to and actually getting them. I've seen people over there that were banned from here during the first freeroll where there was a post requirement. I'd be worried that some of their forum members won't want to pay and will get the password anyway. I didn't like the site and haven't been since I first found it.

I also doubt very many of them will be competition. From what I gathered, it seemed only the admin and mods played seriously for real money.

P.S. I'm soooo glad I found TP.com.

I'm in complete agreement with N1k... sorry rook, but it's actually a really bad idea. Not to mention how much extra hassle it would be for me. $10 should be fine. Unless, as I said, the other Admin wants to set something up wherever.

Yeah you make a good point. Never thought about the crashers.

Hmm...but $10 is still too pricey for some members.

Let's just stop and think for a minute; do you really think that the members that put in their $5 would want to give the pw away? I would think once they put their money into this tourney they wouldn't want to give their pw away to crashers. And we'd only give out the pw 15 mins before tourney. I'll take care of that myself by emailing or pm'ing everyone involved once i have the list. I'd never post the password, that too me is asking for trouble.
