The 10/20 OE players have basically been stealing the bbjp money from the Taj HE players all year because they do not contribute to the bbjp fund but have benefited the most by the distribution of those funds on most Fridays of the month. The 2-4-6 LHE and the no-limit Hold 'em players are aware of this theft of promotional funds question, even if you are not, and should start immediately placing the WWW feet to the fire to ensure the promotional funds are not stolen by a group not contributing to the funds. that way better deal you are talking about should not include a theft of the promotional funds the 10/20 OE do not contribute to...
I agree that those players who aren't paying into the promotional pool shouldn't be getting money out of it. However, I take strong issue with your characterizing them as thieves for doing so. Nobody is stealing anything.
As players, of course it makes sense for them to be taking advantage of whatever promotions are being offered to them.
That you and I and a lot of others feel that these promotions shouldn't be given to them in the first place, because they aren't paying into the pool, is a legitimate, issue. I think that it is clear that players who aren't paying into the BBJ fund (and this includes tournament players) shouldn't be getting money out of it. That this has happened is a definite turn off for me.
Not putting money into the pool should mean getting no money out of the pool.
I say this as someone who has played the 10/20 OE game in the past and hopes to in the future. Quite happily and with no BBJ drop, thank you.
And no expectation of getting promotional money out of the fund. But better believe that if I qualify for it, I'll take it!
Let's just please look at the issue, and dispense with the name calling. Thank you.
