Poker Awards

mewso

O.k. the debate about Mr. Hellmouth on a certain thread got me thinking. Alot of other forums have annual awards so why don't we. Basically you suggest an award category in this thread. Us moderators will decide on a final list of categories and start looking for nominations. Finally nominees are put up for the vote in each category. Categories like International Player of the Year, Irish player of the year and boards player of the year etc. Just suggestions. You post here with yours.

You can only be Freeroller of the year if you won it with no re-buys/topups

rebuying 26 times for a 250 ticket does not count!!

roryc

Ive never rebought more than 3 times, and most of the times I won tickets they were for free. I was a student ffs! Anyway nobody would ever rebuy 26 times.... except nic....

We should also have one big end of year Boards Poker forum online freezeout, with the prizes going to charity. Say $20 buy-in, maybe we get 30+ runners and Santas Strike Force gets $600 or something.

Yeah count me in too. And if you have it on paddy Power they might double the prize money so that the charity wins and the last 3 or 4 get a few quid too.
great idea man.

NickyOD

Oh yeah that reminds me. Best drunken post of the year.

Lafortezza

I was more thinking of PS, something like the BCOOP set up with passwords and so on. Although it PPP feel like tripling the prize pool then that's all good too.

It wouldn't necessarily be incorrect to rebuy 26 times...

It would when you can buy a 270 ticket from 200-240 on the night.

The Best Cracked monster award. HJ's Sooooted Hammer hitting a backdoor flush comes to mind.

Online Poker Software of the Year
General Poker Website of the Year

Bad Beat of the Year (from official thread)
Boards Poster of the Year

Best Contribution to Irish Poker

I think thats good enough for the first try. It may end up a damp squib but lets give it a try. Each category will first be opened to nominations for 2 or 3 days then that thread will be closed. Then a poll thread will be opened for 2 or 3 days and the result by then will be the winner. Then we move on to the next category. So to get through these categories between now and Christmas I am proceeding to create a thread requesting nominations for Independent Tournament Organiser of the Year. This thread is now closed.
