No mention of http://www.specialdays.ie then ?

Remember? The fellah that put up the prize and sponsorship in the first place?

PPP-Pit Boss · 13-07-2005 3:52pm

Yeh I didnt add our prize either.. We dont link to external sites from PPP

ah OK , pity the original sponsor couldn't be recognised though, never mind, his hard luck then I guess

:rolleyes:

Waylander · 13-07-2005 4:03pm

I am inclined to agree with Culchie. That web page makes it look like you sponsored the whole event and this is not the case. It is the table provided by Special Days that people wanted, perhaps you could mention that Special Days donated the first prize without adding in a link toi their website.

PPP-Pit Boss · 13-07-2005 4:05pm

Hmmmm... making me feel guilty now... I have no desire to not to give credit where its due.. just trying to .. sniff.. I will do something about it..... hold the phone

Fathead · 13-07-2005 4:08pm

don't suppose you'd open a little book on result.......

PPP-Pit Boss · 13-07-2005 4:08pm

Guys... that is a little unfair if you dont mind me saying.. As it happens this is not a PPP cashes in job. this is a PPP does something for boards thing. You know sometimes... I have to say I am really quite suprised.. Karl asked me.. I said yes..
Im sulkin I really am!

Culchie · 13-07-2005 4:17pm

PPP Pitboss, I know we are having what is termed sometimes as 'a frank exchange of views' on a couple of subjects.

However, I do admire PPP and their overall business philosophy on alot of things, and indeed admire your availability to such forums such as this.
Your customer service throughout the whole Paddy Power network is excellent.

We're also the punters though, it's a two way process.

Credit is given where it is due, and any shortcomings also will be pointed out.

I think the page completely ignores Special Days original sponsorship, and I don't think that 's fair..... it definitely comes accross as a PPP competition.

It ain't fair, so I'm saying it.

karlh · 13-07-2005 4:18pm

both sponsors are being equally recognised on boards, the fact PPP were nice enough to stick up a site is a separate issue IMO.

a mention for special days would be nice but no biggy.

thanks Nikki

No surprise, but I disagree.

If I were specialdays (and I don't know the man from adam), I'd be pretty peeved.

PPP-Pit Boss · 13-07-2005 4:24pm

You ask I give.. what can I say..

Files changed but may take a little time to go live.
Now what odds shall we put on them?

well there were no petitions for a special dya banner for the poker forum before this but yeah, lookin at the site without a mention of them i have to agree with ya.

with the mention it'll be even better for them tho.....a lot of poker player traffic through the PPP site as you can imagine

happy ending!?

5-1 to win each

Is that a maybe i hear?

Hyzepher · 13-07-2005 4:43pm

I'm not even going to start to get into the use of "BSOP" - registered trademark, that is!!!

mewso · 13-07-2005 4:51pm

Can I just ask if the prizes were announced before the first round games were played. Maybe I was asleep at the time.

PPP-Pit Boss · 13-07-2005 4:52pm

Well now.. I can hardly be blamed for that! Or can I.... culchie? What do you think? :0)
Specialdays now have a special place in the "history" paragraph and I is goin home.
Ta ta ;0)

DapperGent · 13-07-2005 10:41pm

A mention of the person whose idea it was and who went to the effort of organising it wouldn't go astray.

Culchie · 13-07-2005 10:50pm

Hear Hear

DeVore · 14-07-2005 3:16am

Guys, I agree with you but you have to remember we (Boardsies) probably have a different expectation and culture then PP are used to. I mean, you hardly see them detailing the history of Cheltenham and thanking the organisers and prize sponsors when they take bets on the horse races, lol... In this case we are a self-built community so we feel more emotional attachment to the whole thing. Just pointing out the clash of cultures!

Good luck to the lads in question.... Doesn't Karl H look like Shane McGowan in that pic?! mmmmm attractive....

Lafortezza · 14-07-2005 6:01pm

Thanks to PPP for stepping in to let us know about prizes for the final few, v nice website too.

I would have contacted PPP when I first organised this but it never crossed my mind. mcaul from special days had given boardsies a good deal on poker stuff over the previous months, so I pmed him about sponsorship.
He said that with the amount of business boards had generated for him he would be delighted to give us a table for the winner.

He has given us (for free!) a 7 foot professional folding table as the main prize. It's valued at €239 (current special offer price €199). It will be delivered free of charge to anywhere in Ireland to the winners door.
You can see the table on the Special Days website

I think that's a pretty savage prize to go along with PPP's kind donations.

mewso · 14-07-2005 10:28pm

And again I'm asking was I asleep when this was announced before the first round began?

CoD · 15-07-2005 1:25am

the table was from beginning i think, the PPP donation only came there after final 3, i think....

DeVore · 15-07-2005 6:06am

Thats a bit ungrateful CoD, Special Days get a lot of business from Boards too so its a commercial business decision. If we want to get prissy about this, where's Boards cut from all this? We pay the costs for hardware and bandwidth and hours every day for admin time. Who pays for that? Oh yeah, our advertisers. Now... who has supported this forum, and who has bypassed that approach?

Like I said, don't turn this into a prissy pissing contest cos I don't want to go there and trust me neither does anyone else. I'm trying to be nice about this...

Sorry, I'm kranky from lack of sleep and stress from the WSOP. I wish the three contenders the best of luck and may the best poker player win. Except Karl.

Yup. I didnt even know you were holding it until Karl told me about it. I think at the time you guys were not playing any of the 1x1 on PPP coz of our STT 1x1 round structure, so when I fixed it and Karl approached me about it.. I said sure, rooted around for an appropriate donation and then came up with the "genious" :0) Idea of sticking up a page to profile the tournament...
I am a little sad that it has caused such consternation. It was meant to be a "nice suprise" for you guys... ah well. Maybe next time I will wait till all of you agree this is the way you want to go with it. Cant please everyone all of the time I guess. not meant to.

blaugranabhoy · 15-07-2005 10:58am

Hi there,

I've recently started playing hold'em on paddypower. I have started at the play money tables and v. low limit cash games. I was just wondering how one goes about showing your hand to the table when you have won the pot without a showdown.

Players I'm playing against are able to do this but I can't seem to find an on-screen option to do this. Would really appreciate some help with this.

One other question while I'm here. Are the average pot sizes quoted on paddypower for each table based on that week's play / day's play / hour's play etc? Just out of interest.

Waylander · 15-07-2005 11:01am

Pitboss, sorry I was not having a go in my earlier post, and I know your intentions were always to be helpful to the boards community, I just did not think that Mcaul would have thought it fair that after he provides the first prize, as well as other goods he has provided in the past (I think everyone at the final table of the last month of the BSOP got something). I felt he should be mentioned for his donation, otherwise I like the page, and I am glad that Paddy Power are happy to have an official regular contributer to the forum.

select options/select show winning hands

when you have done this and you are playing you will see an option at the end 'dont show' and 'show' and the choice is yours. if you dont select either it will just default to 'dont show'.

with questions like these just ping a manager(live text chat). They are just waiting there to answer these queries!

Where was i being ungrateful?? I was simply answering musician's question about when the prizes were announced.
It can sometimes be hard to show emotion over the internet but i didnt mean to be ungratefu, just answering someones question.

I'm very glad of specialdays and PPP for what they have done for us.

karlh · 15-07-2005 1:10pm

don't mind DeV, he's just on the blob and his training panties are chafing.

i will win this, not for the table, not for the fame and hookers.....just to annoy Tom!!!!!! :mad:

DeVore · 16-07-2005 11:54am

You go gurl!

Sorry CoD I didn't want to just delete my post because I wrote it and its how I felt at the time but I posted after some reflection to note that I was being kranky and irritable from lack of sleep and stress. I think everything is sorted now and I am looking forward to the next one because , like Muso, I missed this one being announced (how!? I'm only here every 5 minutes!).
