Congrats to sauce123, FTR 2007 Poster of the Year!!!

[Warpe]

It was a close race. Thanks for all your excellent input and especially for reviving the high stakes forum.

Congrats to taipan168 and IowaSkinsFan as well. All your hard work is greatly appreciated by all.

Hip hip hooray!!! Now let's get drunk!!!

[IowaSkinsFan]

Best Poster: flomo
I'm going to think about best post more.

[jyms]

POTY nominee
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...=607761#607761


ThizzSantCruz with i think the best in posts lately. Nothing like an "I'm Stupid" post, where you are actually stupid.

Poster of the year.

ISF. He's just doing so much. He's brought more content to the forums than most, and without him and Massimo, there would be no Sauce.

[Frink]

Best Poster: givememyleg

Best Post: gmml's initial 2 girls/1 cup posting.

I still need to think of a Poster of the year.

my vote is here

[Pelion]

Best Poster: givememyleg

Best Post: gmml's initial 2 girls/1 cup posting.

my veto is here

[Pelion]

Best poster is probably sauce or ISF for posting a hell of alot of useful stuff that makes me think in new ways.

sauce probably edges it though.

I dunno about poster of the year.

[givememyleg]

i cant remember back that far, but this is prolly my nomination - http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...oker-61751.htm

best poster, idk yet

i you

[Galapogos]

I think best poster would be ISF. Obviously Gabe and Sauce are more "right" when they post, but ISF is doing a real good job of putting applicable game theory into words. Kinda like Lukie before he disappeared from the strategy community.

[Deanglow]

I'm going with Renton. His comments on all hand history posts are extremely helpful and insightful.

POTY has to been one of the pics in the cooking thread but I can't decide which.

[Miffed22001]

Mines pretty simple but underestimated

ummm I got 3rd in the FTOPS Main Event for a lot of money

Renton for poster, i still look at his posts and give myself a faceplam for overlooking the obvious

[Hawk]

I'm still pretty new here, but post the best post I've seen is Jishu's:
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=53454

I'm not sure who my poster of the year is, but I think i get the most from ISF, Renton, and taipan.

[PapalRage]

I'm still pretty new here, but post the best post I've seen is Jishu's:

seconded, poster of the year is definitely Sauce for me

Lol wow. I missed this one. Poor fella really wears his heart on his sleave.

I second this one. Or third ir or fourth it whatever...

[givememyleg]

haha isop rules

[chardrian]

wheeeeeeeeeeeeee

[biondino]

Taipan poster of the year, and it's not even close. Well, the Steinberg twins deserve a lot of kudos for their willingness to learn and discuss, Sauce and Renton too, but Tai's combination of near-flawless strategy, helpfulness and friendliness makes him probably the single most valuable poster FTR has.

[bigred]

my new year's resolution is to post a lot in poker forums so i can get nominated! that would be a dream come true!

I'm down with this. Plus the man has the patience of a saint.

I've got some thinking to do on best post though.

[will641]

is this for actual poker or the community or overall?

Poker poster - i would have to go ISF because of the time he puts into his explanations and also clarity. (btw i pretty much only read SHNL).

Community Poster - thats a little tougher, but i will go with flomo here, but gmml is a close second. some funny shit guys, keep it up.

[zook]

mrhappy needs some love. here you go mrhappy

[thizzSantaCruz]

i vote for myself for POTY (selfish i know)...can i do this...not sure if OPs comment only applies to nominations.


for best poster i have to go with ISF. a lot of his material has helped my game and whenver i see a post started by him i know its going to be good quality.

[ChrisTheFish]

I'm gonna say taipan, for the reasons stated above.

ISF + Sauce are close 2nd's

[mrhappy333]

mrhappy needs some love. here you go mrhappy

just being nominated is good for me!!
woot woot

[Warpe]

Lots of agreement on who's in the running for poster of the year here.

Tai, ISF, Sauce, Renton...RESPEK!!!

I'll compile the noms into a poll (I'll keep it open for new nominees). As for best post, keep digging guys. It looks like sentiment is leaning to funny...

[mrhappy333]

mrhappy needs some love. here you go mrhappy

WARPE, I didnt see my name in the poll?

[Warpe]

happy now mrhappy?

[Silly String]

Poster of the year.

ISF. He's just doing so much. He's brought more content to the forums than most, and without him and Massimo, there would be no Sauce.

That quoted: He(and Mass) stimulate meaningful discussion more than anyone else on the forums. ISF's got my vote.
POTY requires deeper thought, but Jishu's ball shaving thread ranks up there for pure unadulterated laughs.

[mrhappy333]

warpe, ty ty

[bigspenda73]

I absolutely refuse to vote for anyone who plays SNGs, sorry, but I do not promote masochistic behavior.

SantaCruz's one single post is the funniest thing I've read all year, I'd vote for him if he was on the list. As is, you gots to add Jishuu for both ball-shaving and ass-whiping.

Why gmml is on there I have no idea

[mrhappy333]

link for Santacruz single post?

[bigspenda73]

trainers 1st post in this thread

[Warpe]

spenda, are you nominating someone or just bellyaching?

there is a distinction between "post" of the year and "poster"

gmml was nominated for "poster"

we'll do another poll for "post"

[mrhappy333]

Make your nomination for Post (and Poster) of the Year.

I thought this thread was for both.

[Warpe]

I'd say you can have two nominations, one for best post and one for best poster.

[gabe]

santacruz and mrhappy both seem like guys i would have a good time getting drunk with

maybe this summer somehow....

[thizzSantaCruz]

Always down to grab a beer or play poker with my FTR folks. If your ever in california Gabe PM me. Hopefully I will be able to make the next Vegas trip.

[Halv]

Maybe we should separate strat and commune poster of the year? I wanna nominate spoonitnow for commune poster.

I suck at remembering old posts so I'm not gonna nominate one.

[taipan168]

Thanks very much for the kind words, but I definitely don't think my strategy is flawless, just ask drmcboy...

[thizzSantaCruz]

what happens wtih post of the year?

[gabe]

how about a thread of the year? not counting commune though

[Warpe]

Okay, I'll start the other poll...

[flomo]

how about a thread of the year? not counting commune though

i like this idea
it is easier to remember threads over indivdual posts
and i think splitting out the commune is also a good idea
i do like spoonit's "am i gay?" thread, for a commune thread


thank you for the nomination and the vote

and yes i'm a dick, vote #2 for me from me

[wufwugy]

The fact that I haven't won by a landslide is irrefutable proof that you all are very much in love with penis.

[Warpe]

how about a thread of the year? not counting commune though

mebbe go the other way and start a "Strat thread of the year" thread, gabe, cause most posts so far are commune or could-be-in-the-commune type posts. Seems everyone like funny...

[flomo]

the best stuff is not in the commune
sadly i'm in the commune

[Warpe]

tight race...

[jyms]

There are no rules to POTY. Pic your favorite, move on. This ain't the fucken Grammys. although it would be funny to hear Bigred sing.

[Da GOAT]

obv its ISF with sauce coming in second

[givememyleg]

i cant believe i got 2 votes, i voted for isf

[bigred]

i do birthdays and weddings

[spoonitnow]

I vote for myself

[phantom_lord]

Best poster is probably sauce or ISF for posting a hell of alot of useful stuff that makes me think in new ways.

sauce probably edges it though.

. <---- yes it's a dot

Ditto

[bigspenda73]

I voted for leg cuz I fucking wanted to.

[Halv]

I'll sell my vote to the highest bidder.

Also,

I wanna nominate spoonitnow

[Kits]

For me it's pretty close between Sauce and ISF but I think Sauce gets it..................just.

[givememyleg]

I voted for leg cuz I fucking wanted to.

holla

[Warpe]

I wanna nominate spoonitnow

added

[IowaSkinsFan]

wow this is an awesome race, it was me, than taipan, and now Sauce pulls ahead!

[Jimmy Mac]

It's close, but I had to vote for Tai. Every time I open a thread in that forum, there's a genuinely helpful from him in it.

[flomo]

i h;ad to do it.
i voted for spoonit, i feel alot of shame for myself

[spoonitnow]

I'm obviously commune poster of the year

[Halv]

I'm still waiting for the 50$ spoon.

[Galapogos]

I said I'd vote for ISF but I ended up voting for Sauce.

I mean, the guy brought the High Stakes forum back to life after Lukie's negligent foster parenting of it. And when he actually sits down and writes out a strategy post for us it's always gold. Plus he's extremely good at making you understand what and why in a hand.

[sauce123]

for those of u on the fence: i hear from a reliable source that ISF and Taipan eat puppies...

[spoonitnow]

Early in the morning this made me lol

[kettleofish]

I went for Taipan above Saucey and ISF, for the saintly patience already mentioned by a few people. Also, he seems much less obsessed with keeping his WPP count as low as possible

Sauce, you would have got my vote if you'd said they drowned kittens. Kittens are waaaaaaay cuter than babies.

[bigred]

He said puppies, not babies. Kittens are for chicks, you a chick?

[DetroitHusling101]

Voted 4 Tai.
SNG Forum is the only one i post in on a regular basis , and he has been very helpful ever since i started posting. Although he never reviews my full trimmed hand histories anymore , guess i can't blame him though since he's reviewed 15+ when i first started out , which really helped mold my game!
Thanks for all the advice Tai and hope you win this!

[UG]

can I vote for ISF and Sauce, like split my vote?

gabe is up there too, but he poops gold so it's justified that he's not even on the ballot (because if you poop gold why would you need this award anyway?)

seriously, though, split my vote because both of those guys are great. the other candidates are pretty kickass too in their own right, but my half votes are for ISF and sauce123.
