Like everyone who reads 2p2 magically turns into a winning player...

There is still plenty of fish out there who are either too lazy to use 2p2, or too egotistical to acknowledge that they are losing players.

BBV paints a different picture.
Word. Some of them just want to gamble, I doubt someone that plays 90/0 and is losing at +20BB/100 over thousands of hands will start reading 2+2 and improve.

You guys are also assuming that everybody that posts/read on 2+2 is a winning player.

hey guys,
i think if you really want to make an impact with all this you need the regs in the higher stakes 200-1000nl to support this. id suppose to get into these pokerstars regs chats in the different NL holdem sections. people there wont be thrilled to lose 3-4h grinding time every sunday, so forget about that.
i´d try to get ONE big strike in 4-5 weeks time.
take one or two weeks to get in talk with the regs in this chats (not just post a link; talk to them; convince them).
take two weeks to get everyone to know about. higher stakes regs in general have good working networks which theyd use to spread the word if you happen to convince them its necessary to.
just my 2 cents

They are not sending 90/0's that played thousands, they are sending random fish.

Remember when you started reading 2+2???

An article from EGamingreview.com about possible trouble for poker in France:

http://www.egrmagazine.com/blog/5755...daily-snapshot

2 interesting articles.

I personally deceided now to make a deposit at every french pokersite. Then I will every time open the max number of allowed tables and just sit out, all day long.
Cost me nothing, just a bit of time. I'm running a small company, so I can do that in my office as well as in my house.

If there is only a small number of players doing it the same way we can disrupt the traffic of a site at least at a certain limit quite well.

Under current conditions I'm not playing a single cashgame hand thats for sure.

Do you honestly think that telling people about 2p2 is going to have a significant impact on the dead money cash pool?

There are plenty of recreational players who have no interest in spending their time reading an internet forum.

There are also plenty of players who want to be winners but bauk at the type of information that is available on 2p2.

I know plenty of players who love poker, some think they are winners, most know they are not. They do not relate well to the type of information available on this site.

Most of them have jobs and they just do it for the gamble.

Reading books and websites or crunching numbers just isn't poker to them.

What about sending them to cardrunners, that would be great too!

LOL

so... if every fish started lurking 2+2 their winrates would stay the same because they are too stupid to understand some pretty basic concepts that may help them to gain an edge because they just love to loose over and over.

When I started playing poker I would watch Phill Hellmuth infomercials and be amazed about how much money you could make against those magalomaniacs slowplaying pocket queens, six months later I was a break even player until I discovered 2+2 and started to learn a lot of stuff that phill hellmuth and gus hansen were not saying on those vids.

Where in my post does it say 'every fish' will start using twoplustwo?

I specifically said that loads of people are aware of this website and don't use it.

Not every player will mirror your poker experience.

Do you really believe that people finding out about or using twoplustwo is going to dramatically affect the poker economy?

I will reply only once more to what you have to say because we are derailing a positive thread.

RiverPlay, post less nonesense, or at very least GTFO of this thread, you are derailing it with your moronic "points".
Thanks.

They re gonna do it in belgium also

http://www.lameuse.be/culture/medias...e-768679.shtml

to summarize, they say that only the 9 belgian casino will be able to provide internet poker and that Belgium will work to have an european law during their presidency of the ue this year....

TIME TO FIGHT!!!!!!!!

the fact that Belgium will fight for a EU law may be good, because then at least maybe all europeans will be able to play at common rooms and not be segregated by country

but France will easily snub and veto any Belgian proposals if they want to

If this continues, more and more European players will have to move to the UK.

Business idea for someone out there:

Buy some land near a small town in southern England. Build some small condo units and rent them out to poker refugees from the continent.

Ask Mason to donate a banner ad to encourage people not to tell other poker players about 2p2. If we try hard enough, we can stop anyone from ever joining 2p2 again, and I think this thread is the place we can finally accomplish this dream.

To build on this momentum, some suggested a blog :
- To consolidate new regulations that would compromise our passion for poker
- To Prepare and communicate collectively the next Global SOS if needed

What do you think of a facebook group ? Would you be inclined to join such a group with your real ID ?
