Poker Mods getting free entry to €3,500 Irish Open

nicnicnic · 2009-04-01 01:51:47

I was of the impression that MODS on these forums were supposed to be unpaid and impartial.

I think it's more disturbing that the credibility of this thread was in no way impacted by the credibility of the moderators being called into question... :eek:

You needed to delete the thread to give it some extra cred imo.

The reaction to that would have been funny

I had to admit I wasnt sure if it was an April Fool's or not. It was only when after I posted a comment in the Mod forum asking if this thread was for real that I figured it was another joke! But up to then I didnt know what to think!

Kudos to all involved, especially Des!

Don't know about you lot but i actually got a ticket from PP as a result of the good performance yesterday

Hi Tony/Kevin/Ste,

I have to say, myself and the lads in PP HQ have never laughed so much in our lives. Cracking performance by everyone involved and a nice way to round off a busy March with some light hearted entertainment. We've been inundate with mails yesterday asking was it true, and we could barely keep a straight face. Anyways thanks for the chuckles and we've decided to pick 3people and offer then an Irish Open ticket at a reduced rate.

You may have the ticket for €500 if you also deposit a minimum of €500 into paddypower poker account. Give me a ring or a PM and we'll talk t+c's

Best of luck,

Noel BCB
