Poker Plex will now get all of my play

[Tenacious A]

Great news...Just in case you haven't seen the email yet...Whoever plays the most hands this Friday and Saturday at Poker Plex receives a free.....pen????? I wasn't sure that I wanted to play thousands of hands at Plex this weekend, but they cleared that up by saying "The fountain-pen is simply a must have".

How great would it be if poker rooms began offering better and better incentives to encourage play at their site...think what could be next...perhaps some scotch tape.

I think I'll play at Party and swipe a pen from the supply cabinet at work.

I wasn't sure if that e-mail was a joke or serious.

That's very generous of them. If you generate $2000 in rake for us this weekend, we'll hook you up with a pen.

Man, that would be a bummer to finish second in that race; to put in all that time and hard work and come up just short of the golden prize.

I think it blinks on the end......well, that's what it looked like. If that's the case, then I'm in!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Isn't second prize a pencil?

Not just any pencil: A really, really nice pencil.

3rd place gets an eraser

The world is divided into two groups: those who understand and love fountain pens and those who think anyone who spends more than $1.98 on a pen is crazy. Those in the former group will appreciate that the Montblanc Star Walker fountain pen being given away by Poker Plex retails for over $350. (The only specific quote I could find was from a UK dealer at £205, which is $367 at current exchange rates.)

Those are the two groups you're going with, eh? Personally, I'd leave a little more room for shades of grey -- I'll spend up to four dollars on a pen, y'know?

Kidding (mostly) aside, how big do you think the overlap is on a Venn diagram with two circles: "People who like ridiculously overpriced pens" and "People willing to multitable online poker for 48 hours straight"?

nh. I don't usually laugh out loud at posts.

Just wish I could have been in the meeting at Plex headquarters..."Dammit, Johnson...you sent that email to the poker players? That pen was supposed to go be the door prize at the Ben Franklin convention". Meanwhile, at the B. Franklin meeting...man in powdered wig says, "What the blank am I going to do with this 2001FP. I haven't even invented electricity yet."
