king_tanner 84 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm not trying to be offensive or anything Raise Ha.But why do you always advertise these tourneys on FCP when you don't post here but on holdemfreaks.com? I know some FCP'ers play in these, sometimes I do also, just seems weird. Link to post Share on other sites

rcgs59 15 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Wow, holdemfreaks is an actual site?That's like really spam.Not that cool.both Raise Ha and Cali have been playing in the NegOpen for the entire year last year and they are FCP members they thought it would be nice to ask if anyone would like to join there tournaments. I don't get why it's such a pain for them to post here. What's the big deal. Poker is suppose to be fun too lol, some people seem to forget that aspect of the game. Link to post Share on other sites

Poker is suppose to be fun too lol, some people seem to forget that aspect of the game.When your only posts (actual posts, not sigs, avatars, etc.) are to talk about and advertise a website you have a direct affiliation with, you are posting spam and thus a spammer.There's not much difference between that and someone who registers just to say "VISIT WWW.MYWEBSITE.COM/ORGNET/HTML.PHP" or something along those lines.We get on those people for doing that, why not these people? I'm sure they're nice people and it is truly nothing personal, but it's a matter of not being hypocritical. Link to post Share on other sites

rcgs59 15 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 One other point, when I had the FCP get together in Niagara Falls in October Raise Ha did come to it. But I don't want to argue over this. I just think it is sad that they go to invite us to there tournaments and we make a big deal. So I will not mention another word on the subject.

SGFULTON83 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I don't think anyone would make such a big deal about it if they actually contributed more to this forum, instead of just announcing tournaments. Personally, I don't care but I can see where some might have a problem with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Raise, Ha! 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 I really do find the complaints rather humorous. A couple of us (affiliated with a large number of sites) post a game offering up a hundred dollars in bounties out of our own pockets and we here crying from people who wouldn't attend the tourney anyway. WTF am I suppose to do, find every one of you at the tables personally to invite you? I've supported this site and a few of it's activities. If I choose to be a lurker here most of the time, is that a crime?Lastly, when I posted a tourney a couple months back, the suggestion was that maybe there should be a "catagory" for "upcoming games" so the General Forum wasn't cluttered with this information. Where is it? I hardly consider announcing a poker game on a poker forum where cash prizes are part of the mix spam. But then again, you guys have all the answers. Link to post Share on other sites

He is offering us a cheap tourney with extra cash prizes, I dont see the harm.What he is doing is 100% different than most of the spam that just gets deleted right when Bob sees it, imo.Just cuz he doesnt post here daily doesnt mean he cant do what he did.

qyayqi 11 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 if the mods delete or lock it, it was spam.the mods have neither deleted nor locked it.join or don't join; no need to get your panties in a bunch, folks. the mods can handle their jobs. (i haven't played in any of their offerings, but i also haven't played in the neg-o. this parenthetical addendum probably has no real value in this argument. (disagreement? slap fight? whatever.))

Raise, Ha! 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 umm....While the reference was only intended to give recognition to the people contributing to the bounties, I'll gladly delete it so some here don't have a stroke. I'm just curious if any of the posting Nazi's plan on playing or if they just like to hear themselves make noise? Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'd just like to say that I wasn't complaing, crying, bitching, etc about you being here. I've had a good time playing with you (Raise Ha and Califnaughti) the few times that I have. I was just curious to why you just post on here to alert us of tournaments and not much else. I wasn't trying to be mean spirited at all. Link to post Share on other sites
CalifNaughti 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 You know.. . I think you all except for a few have made a mountain out of a mole hill. I dont see any harm in what Raise, Ha has done. Making me a private game to celebrate my birthday. A 5.50 game. With 100$ worth of bounties out of his own pocket. I thank him for that.Have you ever wondered why the mod hasnt deleted it? Because this isnt a big deal. Its an invite to my 50th birthday game. Play or dont play, its as simple as that.Thank you Mark for putting this game together for me. Im sorry everyone flamed you for this nice thing you did for meCali Link to post Share on other sites
