O Doyle's Army - WE WANT YOU!

"over a 3-4 month period on a site that had a large enough player base that the influx of 2+2ers would not destroy the quality of the games"

This is an issue, but one which is readily addressed by chumming the waters with new fish .... Like I have a simple solution for that chicken-egg equation. Basically, this sort of promo must tie into a general growth of a site attracting new players.

"I liked the idea someone floated of the 120K hands per event, with the players having control over the timing and which event"

That seems entirely reasonable.

Personally, I do not think this issue is a dealbreaker by any means.

We never REQUIRE our WSOP tournament seat winners to wear anything. We just give them all sorts of stuff with logos on it and let 115 degree temperatures persuade them to wear 100% cotton..... (Okay ODoyle did not take much more than our branded condoms, but the other stuff was available.)

We are studying the economics of this sort of promotion, with or without an "Army" element. (For the record, the rake from ODoyle's 120,000 hands did not cover the cost of the promotion, although it was certainly worth doing. If we want to launch a promo similar to this thread, it likely would be tied to raked hands played, not just hands played).

I was off 2+2 for a couple of days and will take the time to read the entire thread, but did want to express our thanks to ODoyle for bringing this up.

Thanks TruePoker CEO!

I appreciate the feedback and I understand that a lot of rough edges would have to be ironed out. I also would like to publicly thank you for giving me the opportunity you did in the original 120K hands challenge. Had you not agreed to my original proposal, we would not be talking about this today and so for that I applaud you.

The 120K figure naturally came about as a result of my challenge with TruePoker. I understand that there will have to be some tinkering with this proposal to make it viable for all parties.

I do believe this overall proposal (once the rough edges are ironed out) has the potential to turn a site into the next PokerStars.

I look forward in discussing this matter further with you.

Thanks again,

O Doyle

Me too. Can I get a deal for doing less hands if I agree to wear a fancy dress costume?

Count me as very interested in this intriguing idea.
