Received a call from PP, should I feel special?
 
Ealier today for the first time ever PP called me out of the blue. Some guy who stating he worked for PP, inviting me to a all expenses payed trip to Vegas from 9/5-9/10, stating there was a tournament against 12 professional players which was going to be televised. 1st place wins $500,000. Tournament entry fee is covered by PP. He said they had selected "pre screened VIP players." After I told him I couldn't make it there that week, he gave me his personal contact information, stating if I had any problems w/ PP I should contact him directly. Anyone else get this call?

Ahahaha! Can't get enough of that guy. I remember there was some dude named "Dick Assman" that David Letterman just couldn't stop talking about.

I think Dikshit is just as good. Someone should inform Mr Letterman so that he can make jokes about Dikshit every night.

So if Tizerd was invited it makes me think Party is trying to get their twelve biggest online winners and then put them against twelve live name pros and see who comes on top, which sounds like an interesting format. Can any other 2000NL regular confirm they've been approached by Party with this sort of deal? Will we see the dragons battle it out on TV vs. Negreanu, Matusow, Ferguson and so on?

Re: Received a call from PP, should I feel special?
 
I cannot go because i am 19 and PP thinks i am 50 year old woman. Neo, i will see if i can defer my invite to you, so yeah, go win me 200k.

Why not send your mum to play? Im sure she would have significant EV.

She doesn't want to go lol. She is also the antithesis of a poker player.

WTF this is like a 1 mil Freeroll SNG? You should dress up like a 50 year old woman

It would make for the greatest TV. This 50 yr old woman who the commentators explain as being one of the best online players in the world but obviously is clueless. I'll chip in $50 for your mum to go Gabe.

LOLL.. holla at that!

Re: Received a call from PP, should I feel special?
 
The good news is that you can still party with hoes at college. Although $500,000 would certainly be a better ice breaker than your usual "i'm a well respected poster on an internet poker forum" lines.

ggbman 08-22-2006 12:49 AM

Re: Received a call from PP, should I feel special?
 
It would be pretty hialrious. I mean, i would explain to her the value of a suited connecter in a multiway pot with deep stacks and she would probably cold call a push with it. Some of it also has to do with her work schedule... I was/am very bummed that i will have to pass on this oppurtunity to make a name for myself, but i guess hopefully i am young enough that a few more oppurtunities will present themself....

Re: Received a call from PP, should I feel special?
 
Seriously her EV couldnt be less than 10K.

NLfool 08-22-2006 01:00 AM

Re: Received a call from PP, should I feel special?
 
dude it's a Sit N Gonkament, push preflop, 1 or 2 steals thrown in, then wait for the blinds to get huge, push and hope for the best. Sounds like a decent chance at 3rd or 4th which should be ~100k?

ggbman 08-22-2006 01:01 AM

Re: Received a call from PP, should I feel special?
 
Only first and second get paid as i understand.

For sure, a simple "if blinds = then fold or push these hands" would probably be atleast 25k equity. Cheat sheets!

KingNeo 08-22-2006 01:08 AM

Re: Received a call from PP, should I feel special?
 
gabe 500k is cool but i will hook you up with 200k when i win. just let me get that seat, put in the good word with pp. let them check out my account history and they will see i am a better player than you anyways. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ehrm, ... gigolos. Male prosthetics are called gigolos. You're an old woman, remember?

Re: Received a call from PP, should I feel special?
 
Tiz, ggB... care to share your stats? Do you think they are using stats as a basis?

I've logged 85K hands on Party 10/20 NL over the past year with a PT BB/100 of 3.5

Any ideas at all what the qualifications are they're using?

Thanks,
