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]

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"?

I'm sensing lots of sarcasm (in the other post - not sure about yours) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I like a nice fountain pen (and I have a few - thanks to my mom) and all but playing 48+ hrs of poker to get one is not really what I had in mind. If you already had plans for this then it's win/win.

Hi Mike,
Feel free to do with this thread as I did with the email I received from Poker Plex---delete. I fear that this raging fountain pen vs. bic debate could get deadly and I want no blood on my hands.

I'm not sure if your query was a joke, but I must really suck at spamming if that's what this is. Unless you think it's reverse spam--trying to get people to avoid Plex. If my sarcasm missed its mark that badly, then by all means delete.

P.S. Patchmaster, I bet you use the two-ply toilet paper, don't you?

P.P.S. If you're paying $1.98 for a pen, you're gettting ripped off.

Clever.

I think I won't delete it; then no one will know if I think it's spam, reverse spam, or criticism.

(No one except Granny, that is, of course.)

PS - Is Poker Plex a poker site?
