Title: Re: British Poker awards Post by: Woodsey on July 29, 2011, 03:18:13 PM You have to remember the organisers use these as a money making scheme, so its in their interests to get as many people there by however means.
In fact they are an ingenius way to make money, as the narcissistic side of humans means they will always get a good turn out. Title: Re: British Poker awards Post by: Longines on July 29, 2011, 03:18:19 PM I miss The Camel.

Best online player featuring 3/5 players who have played I would guess less than 30,000 hands between them this year (I mean JAKE CODY - really lol), best mixed game featuring 3 of the 5 players who prolly barely know the rules to Stud8 and Devilfish who spends his entire life drunk and sleazing on waitresses (not that I blame him) makes it into best PLO player yet Gavz wins $2million and does not. Or as I should have just said. I;m with Dubai. Very silly and completely farcical. Poker awards should be re-named "Run good/come up on google acknowledgements" Title: Re: British Poker awards Post by: Dale on July 29, 2011, 10:59:57 PM Please vote for me (Dale 'Daleroxxu' Philip) in the non-silly category of Best Social Media User :-) If there was ever a reason NOT to vote for someone this is surely it.

Wow, imagine if someone won a social media award by posting about it on social media, that would be ridiculous. Why the anti-poker award sentiments? Any opportunity for poker players to gain more exposure should be embraced. There is a lot of money in sponsorship deals etc. to be gained from actively promoting yourself. I'm sure 99% of poker players who do actively work to promote themselves, or even go so far as to get an agent, do it not for any kind of narcissistic reasons.

This award for social media stuff is just total bollocks. Title: Re: British Poker awards Post by: Dubai on July 29, 2011, 11:17:00 PM The social media stuff is beyond cringe.
