Re: Collection starts for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I'd be willing to transfer via Stars or mail Granny a check for between $40 to $x, but don't want to open another random poker account.

If that's not acceptable, let someone else have my share(s), I more or less just wanted to help to make sure Granny got to play this year and that doesn't seem like it's going to be a problem with all the people willing to invest.

Random? Truepoker is paying for Granny's expenses, in return it wouldn't kill you to open an account there

...and you'll get a bonus too...

true is being wonderful by collecting the money and giving me a room.

expenses are not covered beyond the room, but the room is much appreciated. maybe if you all close your party accounts and give him your play, he would buy my plane ticket (less than $400) and then the general word "expenses" would be more accurate.

i think the only way to make that hint more obvious would have been to use the bold feature.

how many of you opened new accounts for this anyway? hmmmmm

can CEO even BE bullied into paying for my plane ticket in exchange for play?

Re: Collection starts for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I'm in

Re: Collection starts for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Ok, I emailed for my second share.

I also offer to buy Granny a hot dog while we are in Vegas. I'm sure I'll enjoy watching him bite the weiner.....with relish. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Collection starts for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Do we need to include our account info in the email, or will they be referencing the acct through our email addy?

Re: Collection starts for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I have paid $40 and will buy another if possible

Re: Collection Update #1
 

I sent the email and requested 2 shares to help make sure that we get enough to make this happen.

Re: Collection starts for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"

Re: Collection Update #1
 

Just requested a second share. I figure this will be good insurance for my own appearance at the WSOP! Granny, I hope we are battling over that bracelet at the final table.

Re: Collection Update #1
 

Alright, I'm really drunk after my friend's wedding. I got soul but I'm not a soldier! I think I signed up awhile ago for a share but I'm not sure. If I didn't I would really like to purchase a share. But if I did I wanna know how to pay for my damn share. Please PM and tell me what I need to do. I'm crazy irresponsible and I just made out with this lovely woman named Jacinda. Don't you know I'm a 2000 man, buy my kids they just don't understand me at all. I do have a girlfriend though which is bad concerning Jacinda. That really is such a lovely name. Anyway, I really need simple instructions sent to me on how I can buy as big of a granny share as possible via Private Message. Please, I am all about this. I thought this was a good idea several days ago when I was sober. Tomorrow when I will be sober I will do this so let me in Please!

Re: Collection starts for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Account created and funded and email requesting purchase of 2 shares sent.

Re: Collection Update #1

If they were paying my expenses I'd open an account with them.

It's not like they're doing me personally some kind of favor. I'd rather just pay an extra $20 or whatever and use cash I already have online, rather than fund an account I'm never going to use.

Update #2 : List of Granny-shareholders.
 

I set out below the list of current Granny-shareholders, as far as my personal notes are concerned, up to Adde's second share purchase.

This is not necessarily totally correct and must not be relied upon, in itself. In due course, you will receive confirmation from Truepoker and/or GrannyMae of your actual standing.

Rather than adding confusion to the thread, if your details are incorrect or missing from this list, please pm me as soon as possible and I will amend my personal notes and amend accordingly for posting in another update. Thank you.

Re: Update #2 : List of Granny-shareholders.
 

I haven't gone back to request another share, in order to allow as many participants as possible and to keep things simple for True.

I'd still be happy to buy more, though, so please keep us posted if looks like we won't meet any deadlines.

Martin

Re: Update #2 : List of Granny-shareholders.
 

Done.

I deposited $375 as a first time deposit. Where should I see the pending bonus?

Scott

Re: DOH!
 

I also ran into a glitch funding my account. Perhaps you could post TP's reply on here, and I will do the same. If I can't fund this account, there goes this idea and the Zoo Raffle.

-T

Deposit bonuses (1st or RELOAD) paid at $10 per 100 raked hands played
 

To answer your question, Truepoker pays first time deposit bonuses at a rate of $10 per 100 raked hands played.

We also are paying our current 50% RELOAD BONUS at the same rate.

Re: Collection starts for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I played 3 tables drunk last nite...was hard on the eyes, folded the nut flush on river and boat on the turn by somehow hitting wrong button, but am trying haha...btw ODoyle seems on every table...tried to ask how many more hands he needs but no response. All in all was fun.

thanks marty and everyone!

what will happen is this.

tonight or tomorrow i will get a total of where we are at. whatever we are short, i will come here and post that exact number and we can count it down.

i.e. i'll say we need 53 more please

then marty (or whomever) will get another and come back and say "1 down"

the day after, we will lather, rinse...

and hopefully that will be it and we are done.

thx all

Re: Update #2 : List of Granny-shareholders.
 

Mike and Granny,
I'm not gonna buy any more shares right now, but if we are running short you can count on me for more. I want to give everyone who wants a share a chance to get one. When the dust clears on this let me know if we are short and I will step up for some more.

GrannyMae gonna make me FILTHY STINKIN' IN YOUR FACE RICH !!!!

thx for kicking in. will post if/when we need more. good to see you!!!

Re: Collection starts for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Email for 1 "granny share" sent.


This is the coolest thing I've ever done with my money. Thanks for all the legwork Mike and Granny and Mike!!!

edit: TruePoker ID is "frequitude"

Re: Collection Update #1
 

Question:

Um...I sent the email and recieved a confirmation but the money hasn't been taken out of my account. Is this what's supposed to happen?

Also, I'll buy more shares but I'm going to wait until the lightning round rather than bombarding true marketing with emails and so that everyone else has a chance to be involved.
