and no.... I dont play the piano !
Some would say i barely play poker. I`ve been with this since the beginning
and must say that with the new owners, it already looks much better.
I only play for fun, I like the game. And aim to play playrleague. Who knows, I
might win something.

Iam looking forward to theplayr league, cant even remember when I played my last donkament:D

10-17-2008, 07:44 PM

Im looking forward to joining in on the fun again.

By restart you mean that all points from before is reset ? Is that because you cant find a fair way of adjusting the points for the danish PL and the international one?

Exactly thats my favourite on how to proceed. We will have a thread about it up soon, it just needs some editing. In that thread we will have some discussion and soon there will be a poll where u guys can choose wich way you want to go.

Shouldnt take long until all the threads are up, stay tuned.

LOL Mustard, don't get to comfortable and bring too much stuff to your pc, when the League starts.
We will hunt you like a dog, or maybe a cat.
Btw, your should feed your cat something less spicy ;-)

10-20-2008, 01:35 PM

Hi im Maestroelite

I have been a participant of ThePlayr since the beginning, also i used to be pretty active on the forum.

I have had some good streaks in both Playrleagues with a row of final tables, i havent succeded in winning one yet though, my best place was 2nd after Parabolic SAR and comming 2nd after him was no shame as he has showed really good form!

I have a hard time keeping up in the leagues though as i work in a 6 week rotation at work and i have several of those weeks where i cant play at all, and that along with the decrease in overall activity on ThePlayr was what caused me to play less and less in the final 6 months of the old site... (Good excuse right hehe).

To be honest im not yet sure how active i will become again on the new site, but time will tell.

What i have enjoyed very much was the extremely good tone in which people talk to each other in here and in the Leagues, the best i have ever seen.

Final, im Danish and 30 years old :D

Hi al playrs.

I have just been here for nearly a year. Have played the league a couple of times, and havn't figured out if I will make a new account on Titan just to play the league. Any who have some comments to this pokersite? Maybe i'm joining you when the league begin with a fresh start in the new year.

May your card be high and the pots be monsters as Mike Sexton says.
See you at the table.

LeBigMec

10-20-2008, 11:00 PM

Hello everyone

I am a longtime member of the site, and have been periodically active in the PL and occasionally posting on the forum.

I dont really play poker nowadays, mostly because I dont have time, but also because I got a bit bored with it. When I do play I play on Pokerstars, and try to build on my "freerolled" bankroll.
If I am to start playing on Titanpoker I will have to figure out how to withdraw some first, as I intend to never actually pay to play poker.

Even if I dont play much I still try to follow the scene, and I look forward to the future development of ThePlayr and particually the PL.

Brunen

10-23-2008, 10:29 AM

Hi everyone.

I´m Brunen.

I joined theplayr.com almost from the beginning because I admired Gus Hansen´s play and, i guess, because he is a Dane as I am:)

For me the Playr-league was the biggest asset for this site and i have played the league lots of times.
I like to play against playrs because of the great chat and good tone between playrs.

I have met about 20 playrs at live poker, and I am pleased to say that they are rock solid playrs and nice people:cool:
we now meet on a regular basis for live poker in Copenhagen.

I play poker for entertainment, and accept the game for being fun, hard, evil, vicious, exiting, easy, and much more.
Poker is not a way for me to get rich - yet, but i´m not spending my savings on the game either.

I like Dan Harrington´s books, and i mean to get a copy of Gus Hansen´s book as well.

See you all at the Playr-league i hope.

Best regards Brunen

Greetings!!

I'm Beaver, (or Mark if you prefer).

I started playing Poker professionally on January 22nd 2009, unfortunately I was forced to retire in the early hours of January 23rd 2009. This was due to an unplanned lack of skill, talent, knowledge, and of course, cash.

After my whirlwind career peaked at £54 dollars profit I decided to just play for fun and grind away at the 0.5/10c CAP NL Hold 'em. I'm on a massive winning streak and pulled in a whopping $5.35 over lunchtime (I'm in the UK, it's Lunchtime over here).

Nice to meet you all, I just hope I never have to play you or else my bankroll will start haemorrhaging cash like a faulty ATM...

Hi all, I am an old member of theplayr joined because of Gus and was hoping to learn some skills from him, was really disapointed when the old site had problems and I had payed for the subscription.

Been playing poker since 2004 mostly on training sites, trying to get half decent before I risked any money, started to play on some cash sites recently at micro stakes and have qualified for the Double Deuce on FTP twice having only played two sats.

Looking forward to watching the videos and becoming an active member of theplayr.
