Now is the time for us to act!
 

Some on this board might object to this post and it could get deleted. Hopefully, the mods will see it differently.

The way I see it Party and perhaps with the assistance of some of their high powered affiliates are trying to come out with a program to lure the high volume player back to their site. (The 10 tabling option was just the start)

It would seem to me that we as high volume players would be much better off if we could represent ourselves directly in all this chaos.

The same affiliates that have taken us from Party to Empire to Euorbet, etc, are hoping now they can take us back to Party? Whose best interest is that? Not the poker sites for sure.

Don't get me wrong, I think affiliates serve a very important role in the online poker industry and I am very thankful for mine who has given me the ability to reduce the cost of my play dramatically. He works hard and provides good service.

I have contacted all the above mentioned sites again to see if they think at THIS TIME it would be a very opportune time for them to talk to us directly for our business.

That is all.

I suspect you are too late to act most of your potential group are busy asking for pm's in the affiliate forum.

At least his larger-than-average cranium wasn't featured on national television.

I can tell you something else that is big...The estimated number of hands our group will play over the next 12 months:

Over 30,000,000 hands!

Does anyone know what the hand count was for Party and skins last year?

How about some of the smaller sites?

This could perhaps put the play of a little over 100 high volume players into perspective.

I really have to compliment the ESPN camera crew. They are simply amazing! To film an unobstructed view of Marco Traniello past my head was just unbelievable!

O Dolye's Army Rules!

Re: Now is the time for us to act!
 

if you want to compare professional poker players to unions, affiliate managers are our representatives. if they cant get the job done then we wont.

Re: Now is the time for us to act!
 

I don't think the sites mind affiliates handling it. It cuts down on the administration the sites have to deal with. It cuts down the potential trouble the sites will have to deal with.

I had a high school baseball teammate that wore a size 8 hat. Now that's a cranium...

BOB...are you saying u look like Michael Dukakis????? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Now is the time for us to act!
 

Unionize, brothers!

Re: Now is the time for us to act!
 

Thankfully I don't look like Dukakis.
Did he have a big head? For some reason I don't remember.

I think I look like an over-blown midget.
7 3/4 hat-size, 5'6" height, 29" pants-length (meaning I have really short legs even for someone my height).

But I'm better off than I could be.
When I was a kid I was EXTREMELY small (0-percentile on the growth-charts, etc) and various doctors projected that I would only be about 4'7" as an adult.

Re: Now is the time for us to act!
 

Now, please clarify: Is this a union of players or of big heads?

Re: Now is the time for us to act!
 

If it is the big heads union I am in. That is the name of all my fantasy teams, I have the old 7 3/4 hat size. Could be worse my older brother had to get a special helmet from the local university when he played highschool ball due to his 8 1/4 melon. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I am currently not active in it, so no. If I was, I think world domination is not out of the question

Do Jay Leno and Conon O'Brian play internet-poker?

Those guys have some big freaking heads.
