Did you like our month of freerolls?

[nodepositneeded]

What I want to know is what you liked about besides the free money.I know many just registered but did not play because of time zone issues.Would you guys want to start a paid league with similar format? Did you think the times of games were fair to all?Did you like the rotation of 3pm ,6pm ,9pm?
We had to come up with 16 players to get the games going , we got two new players to join , 7 existing forum members took part in the deposit to play contest and I added 7 players on who did not deposit just to get the tournaments live.
I did this as a learning exercise for myself as we have over 5000 members but had no clue who liked poker.
Here is what i learned only 7 deposited to play a month of free rolls at Full Tilt Poker.Even when we sent out the pm to all members to send us their FT user names we have 38 members who replied.I have made a list of all these who have replied and in future when we do have a FT game only members on that list will get the invite.Will solve the password issue for sure.I have some of you who sent your user name three times now and others who have asked when we will host next poker game.
We don't have any plans for poker in January as I am traveling at month end and just have many other things to do.It don't mean we won't have a game just there are no plans.Nice thing about our list is you wont have to register anymore unless it is a paid game .
I also wanted to let you all know that Tracy is still working for me but not in the forum anymore.She discovered she is 'not a forum person 'LOL so elected to do more administrative stuff as she did in the past.She is going to take over the facebook page for the site so you guys can still see her there.
For day to day operations NDN and EEJIT will be the Mods here ,I will come shake my big stick from time to time .Tracy said not to use my whip because the boys like it lol

Hi.

The freerolls, while very generous, were not a huge success. I know I for one would much prefer money added buyin games, or even one larger freeroll instead of 30 small ones.

As for time issues, I know this might be selfish being in the UK, but 9pm ESt is way too late for Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu, but Fri and Sat nights are fine for this time.

The only issue is with making 2am European times for the games, is in the week noone sensible will play if they have a job. Its just impossible.

Earliest weekday times I can do is probably 6pm EST.

Aside from that, leagues are fun, and if you dont mind me getting some old players back who are now in other leagues, then it should be pretty good again!

Phil based on other money added games we had there is not enough interest out there unless we gave people a month notice.I remember one game Tracy and one player were only two who showed up.We did the 30 days to try to get extra traffic to the site ,I spent over $1000.00 on the games and that was a one time thing .Poker will never be a money maker here but I do understand lots of friends here like to play a game from time to time so I am willing to organise it ,Full Tilt is very good as we can get John to set up a game with just 3-4 hours notice during the day.

good deal. I figured that if we had a league we would have 3-4 months to get players!

Phil ,
NDN had 5 years to get a leaque which was profitable and it never happened so I am just going to have a fun approach to poker on this site in future but not going to spend much on the games.I know Tracy really enjoyed the first 10 or so games when she played ,I think as we got closer to 15th she may have missed some.

BTW = the leagues we had had freerolls in them. Which sucks! Buyins all the way!

I also like one large freeroll or/and money added games.

I did miss alot of the freerolls. I think I missed like 10 or so games.

Thanks for having them.

I made out like a bandit in the 30 days of freerolls averaging $5.86 a day in winnings. woof
Anywhere anytime I am ready for a poker game with my forum pals.

Thanks again for the games

I do not think I qualified for the FullTilt freerolls, as I believe I did not get my FullTilt account from you guys. I appreciate the $1 entry $40 added tourneys that you have out there on UB. Hoping they do not go away, not yet confident to play $5 games yet. How did the tourney name ever get the PSORG as a title, anyhow???
