I really think this kind of thinking is what has led our forum down the wrong path. It is like we fully EXPECT people to search every question and research every post before posting something. New forumers are not going to do this much work. They are simply going to post there questions or advice, and I think we as a community are just going to have to learn to live with that. |
that's the point. i fully expect that indeed. not from a real beginner who posts in beginners, but I do indeed expect ppl who post in strat to read the stickies before posting and I do indeed expect ppl to use the search function. I do that (and did it from the start) and everybody with a little comon sense does that also. I certainly don't think it is asked to much from anybody, to put a little time and effort (like maybe a min. to use the search function) instead of just clustering everything up and expecting others to do the work for him. that is rude.

"M" belongs in the MTT section afaik, |
that's what I said. it is already in there though.

i agree we should be helping and welcoming. i can't think of a single post where I haven't. I am sure I answered hundreds of 'why are the freerolls restricted', 'how can I show my hands', 'where are the realmoney tables' kinda threads in beginners.
I don't even care if the question there has been asked 100 times before, as long as it is in beginners.
I still like your penis though |

Pick Me
Pick Me
I never played poker in my life prior to 12/1/08. Never deposited and my BR is now 24.83 + 11T$ + 5.3 Million in play chips ( grinding the 500 K and all sorts of FRs ) , waiting for $50 before I start playing for cash. Also Mr Nice Guy on the forum.
Not truly amazing stats I know.
Oh yeah I'll cut and paste Rhys' post on "M" |

Hi Mikah.
Despite being a new poster here, I've lurked here for a while and am a reg at 2+2. I'm therefore familiar with your posts.
I think it's fair to say that you're an extremely bad tournament poker player, with amazingly poor results and little to no understanding of even the most basic strategy concepts. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge this has led to some amusing threads, and you've done pretty well out of it by getting staked on a regular basis. However, you should understand that people stake you not because they see you as a profitable investment, but because they see your terrible play and deluded commentaries as a form of entertainment.
If you're intelligent / honest enough to accept this fact (which I doubt, but still..), then you can embrace it. Don't try to sell this BAP as a profitable investment opportunity, because it clearly isn't. Sell it as a fun venture, and promise to make vids and post chat logs. Use the word "donk" as many times as possible during commentaries. You'll sell out in no time.
In before 3-page reply. |

LOL ty BigPairde 
However can I point out that I'm not interested in winning a stake. I don't play tournaments at all and am adequately rolled for my ring games so any stake / prize would be much better served going to someone who'd appreciate it.
The prestige associated with title "Best new poster" would be reward enough IMO |

Well I'm an idiot and busted a good chunk of my roll playing O8 (I will soon edit my sig to indicate my thought on cash games).
I will therefore be applying for this stake  and I'll start writing up something after dinner. |

These are the only 2 who have fulfilled the requirements, so if a mod could do an IP check on these guys we can get rolling
Also there is still one stake left for the first round so keep the applications coming- |

Tracy, as I said I don't want a stake. Just felt like having a pop at the prize. Thanks.  |
