great choice .... lol

"not impossible" and "nothing to stop that from happening" ?

These are hardly positive statements by BUP marketing...... Not impossible to hit a one-outer, nothing to stop that from happening 1 out of X times .....

In an advertising model, bots hurt the site by reducing the value of a given number of eyes on the ads.

Bots are not known for patronizing advertisers

Maybe they will pose periodic questions to players ?

Or just at the beginning of ads, or once every half hour. Multiple failures by a player should be banhammer.

Generally...when deciding on a company name, words like ugly are to be avoided unless there is a clear strategy. Good luck with this, and your success will ofc be decided by many factors but from the get the name you have chosen seems a massive blunder

I agree with all of this fairly strongly, but what do I know?

Hi Everyone:

In this month’s Publisher’s Note in our 2+2 Online Magazine, I wrote about Big Ugly Poker from a little different perspective:

This is perhaps the worst name of anything in sports and entertainment, ever.

lol, the name choice could have been even worse ....

From that site nobody has ever heard of comes the following gem of a supposed nickname:

"Flying Nazis
Probably because an A looks like a plane, and the Nazis had the most successful flying "aces" in their air force"

http://www.gottatalkpoker.com/gallim...andnicks.shtml

Apparently, could have been named "FlyingNazisPoker" ?

I still nominate "Stinky Fish Poker", a real life name, and

"You Have Absolutely No Chance to Win", a casino game from Jane Austen's Mafia!

Regardless of the odd sounding name, get as much advertising as you can afford on facebook, youtube, google.

I assume this is the plan for the full-release debut.

How do they expect people to enjoy themselves there with Ads running every 5 minutes? Played for about an hour and it seemed every 5 minutes I had to watch a video Ad? Really?

Hi Bageled:

In our initial meeting with the BGP people this exact question was asked. And the answer was that in time you’ll learn how to work around the ads, such as a bathroom break, so that they’ll become a minor inconvenience.

Best wishes,
