Titan League Series Event 1 - Freeroll

Desperation

Last night, the first event of the Titan league series began – the freeroll.
The event was password protected, with only forumites being given the password. In the hours leading up to the tournament, there was a spate of new members suddenly appearing on the forum – many of them asking for the password.
The moderators on the Poker forum rightly didn’t give these out – as only active members of the forum should receive them. This decision was met by derision by one or two of the new members.

Personally, I joined the poker forum in July of last year, and was immediately made to feel very, very welcome (unlike some other poker forums – where being a newbie is almost a crime), and being part of PL poker is a win win situation. I get some very good advice, and also get to play in some real amiable tournaments - and the only “price” I pay is to be an active member of the forum.

The Titan freeroll yesterday included a number of people who had received the password under false pretences. The freeroll had a total prize pool of $100 – a pretty desperate situation if you have to enter this kind of freeroll in this manner – and a real lack of intelligence. If these people had a hint of brainpower, they would join the forum, become involved – and then there would be many more windows of opportunity for them - but that kind of social interaction may be beyond them and it looks like their braincells left town a long, long time ago.

The freeroll was won by Jaded, with a superb front-running performance. Philossify and The Quiet Man took the podium positions.
