making of t33h. Some new posters have been curious to PFO's best inside joke so I will let them in on it
At the beginning of the year a new poster showed up on our forum, a new player to the game both young and inexperienced. He used the online handle of Poker Player 100 which as any family or friends would do we conveniently shortened to PP100.
Now as I have said PP100 was new to the game and his biggest problem was the betting amounts, "if someone raises to 100 and another player raises 300 is that a total of 400 or is it just 300?", "If I call the 300 raise do I also have to call an additional 100?" These paraphrased qoutes started appearing in numerous threads throughout our forum.
As you can guess this created a problem for the moderators, PP100 was not being rude, was not asking questions he did not truely seek the answer to, and was not spamming, how could you ban someone for trying to learn?
Well as the weeks wore on and this poor soul could still not understand the betting structure despite the best attempts by our group someone in jest referred to him as PP99, demoted from PP100. Well like any joke it continued with PP99 being demoted even lower for each additional post he made where he just could not get it.
At this point I should mention that PP97 (as he was now down to) in addition to his betting structure issues also had quite a spelling and Caps Lock problem.
A post that should read
How much can I raise if the blinds are 200 and 400? would often appear like this,
hOW much i CaN Rase BLIndS 200//400?
or who would win? would appear as wHo wuld WIne?
As you can guess this led to further demotion and PP94 could not understand why (nor did he ever fully comprehend the joke behind it).
I'm going to fast forward to the weeks leading up to his banishment when an odd thread appeared, it was a poll thread begun by PP73 and here is the original
Quote:
IN A heads up match blinds ar
e reasonably go up in 15min
Everyone starts out with 300.000 chips
Ante 100 blinds 1000.2000
Who wuld win

now for a PP71 (he was demoted 2 more points while writing his thread) post this was pretty good stuff but what struck us odd was the possible choices in the poll
Quote:
Mike Sexton
Vince Van Patten

Now as you can guess this t33h buisness became tabloid headlines, and with all the discussion about t33h PFO became the #1 google hit for t33h. t33h was selling like hotcakes and noone knew what it was!
It wasn't long after this post that PP.0000000003456 was banned from PFO until he matured a little bit.
Well that is the story of PP100 and t33h hope you enjoyed it
