AAsnake88 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 For those who were around FCP general a year ago....you know I won a live touney in FL known as the "World Offshore Poker Championship" on the Suncruz casino boat.I won some nice cash, a bracelet, and a trophy.Some have seen the tv broadcast on various channels in the southeast USA.Fast forward to today...Suncruz has been very generous to me, and given me free entry into their 'World Offshore Poker Championship 2' weekend...this includes the prelim event entry of about $300, and entry to the main event of like $1100 the weekend of november 9-11.I'm grateful for the freeroll they have given me, and think it's a nice gesture.However, the tv company that is producing the show for them this year (it's supposed to be nationwide) has asked to do an interview with me at my home. This is cool too, but I'm not really into doing a cribs thing, as I don't have a cribs quality home, nor am i really comfortable with it. They have been asking for a while and I need to let them know if I will do it soon, but some have suggested that I make a deal to wear a logo for this as I will get a decent amount of tv time and could get a nice price for it. I think I'll get 2-3minutes of time in a one hour show...should I try to make a deal for it? Link to post Share on other sites
onlyme386 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 If you aren't comfortable with them coming to your house and doing it, don't. If you do decide to do it, don't let the logo be blatant or huge or anything. Maybe just have 18 bags of Golden Flakes on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites

Jrobb25 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 If you can swing a deal I would do it but, its gonna depend on whos doing the broadcast. If its not gonna air on a "major" network and by major I mean like Fox sports or something. I know last year it was on Comcast sports (who I use to work for). But, it will be hard to get money if its not on a bigger network. Plus if you dont feel comfrontable doing it at your house dont. A 2-3 min piece will actually take a few hrs to tape so they will be there a while. GL I hope u get some money you deserve it.PS: Ive been trying for a while to get u a copy of the coverage for you. But, all my former friends at comcast have quit. I'll see if I can get it done. Link to post Share on other sites

gfdsa146 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 As far as the house part goes, It'll depend on what the interview is going to be like. If its just gonna be them interviewing you on your couch with your white wall in the background then what do you have to worry about? I'd def do it if you could cut a deal wearing a logo, and if you could get them to do the interview with some guy asking you questions off camera as the camera was looking at you on your couch with one of your walls in the background.

hblask 1 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 If they are coming to your house, make sure you know ahead of time what they are looking for. If they just want you at home, find the most photogenic backdrop you have and tell them "this is where we will film".As for selling yourself, just drop a note to PS and FT and explain the situation to them, and ask if they'll do anything for you if your wear their clothes on TV.

mx957 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Tell em where they can shoot....Hire some scantily clad women to run around in the back ground. Nobody would even notice what the house looks like if you pay the right women to "Frolic" at your crib...That's how Heff Rolls!And let Tilt or Stars know you're a world champ...they'll pay you off with some swag I am sure.Oh and make sure you wear the braclet...it's a nice one!

Balloon guy 158 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Make sure everything is perfectly organized in your house, exactly in it's place etc. Then leave out a fake court order demanding a chemical castration. You can use Ryland's father's one if you need an example.Then make sure the film crew is super neat. Tell them to roll their cables in a clockwise pattern, and run them parallel to each other etc. Make sure they all remove their shoes, and wash their hands constantly.Then when the camera is turned on, just stare at the camera and talk about your 'pretend' court case. Plead for any lawyers that want to help an innocent man beat these trumped up charges.It will be a lot more fun for us then: "So how much poker do you play?" Link to post Share on other sites
Loismustdie 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Ummmm.. just clean your ghetto house. Hide the crack babies, go to Ross and Wal-Mart and doll it up a bit, go to a thrift store and get some used books to seem literate, and shower and shave. Seems like a pretty stupid "problem."I went to Scotts house for a poker thing and I know for suresies he doesn't read but there were plenty of books, and no crack babies in sight, which is key.

There was a hand where 2 players are all in Ah10x vs. AxKx and board was something like 8h3hJxQx and the announcer said that one of the players had a straight draw and the other guy had a flush draw...only 2 hearts on board and one heart in hand. lol Link to post Share on other sites
