Realized that since I used a clickbait title for this thread that a lot of people are reading it. Going to make sure that every post of mine is gold from now on since I did that.
Here is an idea for the TDA that can be used for live tournaments all over the world. I think I originally heard it or some form of it from one of Daniel Negreanu’s podcasts (best new poker podcast).
I believe tournaments would run more smoothly if they went to a three-strike policy. In multi-day tournaments, strikes can simply reset at the end of the day. It would be easy to implement:
Strike 1- 1 hand penalty
Strike 2- 1 round penalty
Strike 3- eliminated from the tournament
What would constitute a strike? I believe that behaviors that are definitely not good for the game should be punished with strikes.
- being abusive to a dealer or staff member in any way
- excessively berating or insulting another player
- excessively disrupting the pace of play
- influencing action when you are not in the hand
There should also be a warning system in order to protect recreational players for the mistakes that they make that don’t significantly disrupt the game. It would be better for the game if they received warnings for a lot of the infractions that they make. I believe that they should be allotted more leeway with regards to some of the rules just as long as they do not get an unfair advantage.
It is a dream of mine that legal online poker will come back to the USA. I bought a couple of domains today that will help that movement. I believe that if we (the people that love poker) organize ourselves properly that regulation for online poker is inevitable.

I need help. I have no idea how to build a website or how to organize a movement. I am willing to work with anyone that wants to have a positive effect on this cause. If you would like to help and be a part of this please feel free to send me a message or you can send an e-mail to:

I am still working on getting my million before 30. I realize that I can no longer post about how I am doing it because my games are tough enough. If you are a serious poker player and do not have huge goals you are definitely missing out on value. Since creating this goal my game has grown every single day. Before creating it my game had stagnated and so did my results.
