PokerNews project blog

So yet another week had passed and a number of attempts to get free cash in our PartyPoker $50 Free promo by sending some extraordinary pictures had taken place. The number in this blog post's title suggests that we already had such extraordinary attempts in the past. Here are some of the best ones from this month's last week.

1. Some people prefer to use their self-made IDs. Interesting, do they get their deliveries with such IDs in their local post offices?

2. Some people think that they should be paid $25 every time they show us their wonderful tattoos. Unfortunately, we need your faces and IDs.

3. Flowers, little cars and lollipops? What da heck?.. This is way ahead of our imagination, however, no money for the amazing bouquet.

4. The Swarovski lipstick did not impress our Support Angel and she refused to transfer the money. Maybe red is just not her color or maybe she has better friends than diamonds?..

5. Unfortunately, poker is not a sport in most of the counties, not to mention the fact that it's not an Olympic sport either. We can only dream about the Olympic Poker Championship.

See you next Friday! Unless all of you will send only your face + ID pictures and we won't have a chance to have a good laugh.

P.S. You can see more poker fun pictures in my blog.

Neturiu labai daug laiko, kad kas dieną užeičiau į tuos kelis lietuviškus pokerio tinklaraščius (blogus) ir tikrinčiau, ar kas naujo ten yra, ar ne. Naudojuosi RSS skaitytuvu (Google Reader ir Feedly per Chrome naršyklę) ir taip sužinau naujienas iš pokerio pasaulio. Kažkada jau esu rašęs apie geriausius profesionalų, bendrinius ir pokerio kambarių tinklaraščius anglų kalba. Norėčiau pasidalinti savo RSS srautais apie pokerį lietuviškai.

The Reader - Andriaus Tapino tinklaraštis apie pokerį šiuo metu Lietuvoje yra labai populiarus, tad nuodėmė būtų jo neskaityti, juo labiau, kai Andrius rašo taip dažnai, organizuoja savo „proto vinių“ konkursus.

Tony G tinklaraštis lietuviškai – pats Antanas lietuviškai nerašo (o jei rašo, tai daro labai daug klaidų, nes jis vidurinę baigė Australijoje, tad natūralu, kad angliškai rašo geriau). Jo tinklaraščius verčia LT.PokerNews redaktoriai. Ir gerai daro, nes dabar Tony G rašo per 2 vietas – PartyPoker tinklaraštyje ir savo TonyGPoker bloge.

Pokeris24.com tinklaraščiai – šios bendruomenės narių rašomi blogai kartais būta tikrai įdomūs ir intriguojantys. Įdomu pasiskaityti.

MY.pokernews lietuviški tinklaraščiai – dar viena vieta, kur bendruomenė rašo tinklaraščius. Prenumeruoju juos visus, nes kol kas jų daug nėra. Kai atsiras daugiau, galėsiu parekomenduoti kuriuos autorius mėgstu. Kol kas skaitau KACKIS ir Ninja666mdk tinklaraščius.

Gero Gobbito Blogas apie pokerį rašo tik iš dalies, bet juk nemaišys jį užsiprenumeruoti.

Prenumeruok RSS

PokerPassanger blogas – naujas vieno žaidėjo tinklaraštis apie pokerį.

Prenumeruok RSS

Kad tikrai nieko nepraleisčiau, sukūriau Google BlogSearch RSS srautą su raktiniu žodžiu „pokeris“. Jis pateikia visus tinklaraščius, kuriuose šis žodis minimas. Aišku, čia įtraukti ne visi lietuviški tinklaraščiai, todėl sakyti, kad čia eina absoliučiai viskas – negalėčiau. Bandžiau su kitomis blogų paieškos sistemomis – ten rezultatų dar mažiau, be to jie dažnai maišomi su latviškais.

Jeigu žinote gerų pokerio tinklaraščių lietuviškai, parašykite, įtrauksiu į šį sąrašą – pravers.

PartyPoker $50 Free promo Support Angel had once again sent me some new Photoshop masterpieces and photos which were supposed to be a firm identity proof. Well, we were not convinced. Please take a look at this week’s TOP 5 validation photo bloopers:

1. Trying to scare us again? We are aware of Freddie's upcoming return to cinemas, but would rather spend money on the tickets and not on your bonus, pal!

2. Ok, sexy eyes, you got our attention, but that's not enough if you want to receive free $25

3. This photo (Alfred Eisenstaedt’s V–J day in Times Square) is very famous and had won numerous awards, but don’t expect it to get you free money.

4. So you need another ring or bracelet? Hmm, sorry, you'll have to show your face first. Then we will transfer you the money, then you will become a really good poker player, then you will earn enough money to go to WSOP and only then you can get a new bracelet. It’s a hard way, mate so better start with sending us an appropriate picture.

5. Not funny at all

Hopefully, next week will be as fun as this one. Send us more acceptable pictures! I am already bored with writing this blog

This Friday the collection of our PartyPoker promo validation bloopers is no fun. It is simply pathetic, when people try to get money by sending pictures of their pets and other animals, who are pleading for free $50 with their sad eyes. Here is the collection of pets whose owners did not receive free money.

1. The rarest kitty in the World – dollar green with purple eyes and loves lipstick. Folks, that’s just insane, so no money for this cat's owner!

2. The master of the ugliest dog in the world must probably have the ugliest face as well. Sorry Pal, no face, no ID – no money!

3. We are scared neither of Kung-Fu cats nor their owners.

4. How romantic! The butterfly is on your nose! Pity that butterfly does not have your photo, name, surname or your birth date on its wings, so it cannot be considered your ID.

5. Skippy was told to fetch some dollars for his friend, but we have some age and species restrictions. We give money to adults 18 + who are human and show us their face and ID.

Thank you for your precious time. However, we would take much less of it if you managed to take a picture of you holding your IDs instead of sending us your pet photos.

Internet is full of Demotivational pictures – a new kind of digital art. In fact their real name is Motivational Posters, but some of them actually appear to be demotivating instead.

I just spent half an hour of my free lunch time and found some brilliant pieces of demotivational poker posters. Most of them are about Strip poker and Poker Faces. Some are really interesting, especially those with real poker players.

However, these are just a few examples. The others are in my photo gallery on an album called “Poker Demotivation Posters”. Not suitable for kids, so please leave this page if you are under 18 and still need to be motivated, instead of DEmotivated

Let’s start a new Partypoker promo year (in one form or another it runs from 2007). December was a busy month, so we were able to collect some validation picture masterpieces for your consideration.

1. Beer is dangerous for your teeth. Poker is not! So play poker instead of trying to open a bottle of beer with your mouth

2. We do not give money to mysterious creatures. This bear is not an exception Someone tried to show some Russian love.

3. This Polish person will definitely NOT receive the bonus, as we cannot even determine their sex, not to mention the face or ID.

4. The middle finger does not qualify for an ID, so no bonus

5. Did I mention that we do not give money to all kinds of mysterious creatures like elves, bears, aliens, devils etc. Angels in winter belong to the same kind, so no money!

Next week we will collect some more. Here are the previous 5 lists of funny validation photos.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5 (sexy).

We are starting the year 2010 with some new features for our poker blog. As many people had trouble adding videos and images to their blogs we have updated the text editor and fixed the issues.

Here is what you are now able to do:

Align pictures easily. When you want to add an image to your blog you need to choose its alignment – right, left or center. You may also save the image to your photo gallery by marking the checkbox so that you could edit the name and description later in your Poker photo section.

Insert links easily. It is now much easier to add a link to your blog as you no longer have to write the BB code for URLs. Now you just need to add a link along with its title and it will be added automatically onto the text that you have marked with your cursor.

Insert embedded videos easily. Under the text field there is now a special attachment bar. We have prepared 3 types of attachments – pictures (as mentioned before), videos and HTML. When you want to add a video to your blog post, just click the video button and paste your embed code. After saving it a link with a unique code will appear: “Insert {id:xxxxx}”. Mark the place in the text where you want to insert it and click the link.

Insert HTML codes. This feature has not changed very much, except it may now be accessed by making one click less. You may add a hand replayer code there or any other HTML code. Just remember that JAVAscript is not allowed due to security reasons.

Everything else remains the same – card images, smiles, quotes, subscript, superscript, basic text formats etc. Please let us know if you believe that some of the features are missing. But please keep in mind that we only add the basic ones in order to keep the blog editor simple and easy to use.

We would once again like to share some funny pictures that PartyPoker promotion applicants have uploaded. Of course, we do not lack funny moments before Christmas, but we are always glad to have an extra laugh.

You should also have some fun These pictures illustrate, how sexy our participants are. Thank God this poker blog is not accessible for children.

1. And where is your ID, mate? If you provide some services for ladies, just ask them for more money instead of registering for free $25 at PartyPoker.

2. How is this supposed to be called? It's not a Tattoo, not a scar, tanning oil? Oh yes, nice work with Photoshop! Sorry, no face, no money!

3. We love kids these days, because they are so inquisitive. They know a lot about mobile computing, play poker on behalf of their parents and try to do everything that adults do. That’s great, but what’s her mother’s occupation (we got it already, that her father plays poker)?

4. That’s a standard looking Eastern European girl. If our Support angel was from the Western part of Europe, such young ladies would receive their money even without an ID by her face

5. Well, we did not transfer money to her either, as she did not have an ID next to her face

However, I still do not get one thing. Girls use their beauty to get what they want, but we are getting so many half naked men pictures. The majority of them are not muscle-bags, so they're not attractive at all. What do they seek? Maybe it was very hot while they were taking their pictures (the photos contain IDs as required)? I really do not understand this.

Did you like these pictures? We have more! Just check out the previous parts of the series:

Norintys pradėti rašyti tinklaraštį bet kuria tema, susiduria su problema – KUR tai daryti geriausia. Gal pirkti savo domeną, samdyti pažįstamą programuotoją, kad jį sutvarkytų? Gal viską daryti pačiam kur nemokamoje blogofermoje? Gal rašyti forume, kaip tai daro kai kurie pokerio žaidėjai? Labai daug klausimų iškyla.

Norėčiau duoti keletą patarimų dėl pokerio blogo vietos, nes kol kas ji Lietuvoje labai svarbi.
Svarbiausias patarimas – venkite savo blogą rašyti po .lt domenu, kuris dar ir talpinamas Lietuvoje. Jei VLPK nuspręs, kad jūsų pokerio blogas reklamuoja azartinius lošimus, pasieks per hostingo kompaniją arba blogofermos (pavyzdžiui Blogas.lt) administratorius. Kaip žinote, Lietuvos teritorijoje draudžiama reklamuoti azartinius lošimus, tarp jų ir pokerį, kuris vis dar priskiriamas prie azartinių užsiėmimų. Lietuviškas serveris ir domenas su .lt galūne rodo, kad jūsų blogas operuoja Lietuvos teritorijoje. Tai nelegalu, todėl prieš pradėdami pamąstykite ar verta veltis į nelegalius reikalus.

Pasirinkite nemokamą užsieninę blogofermą. Viena populiariausių yra Blogger.com. Jei turite Gmail paskyrą, galite labai greitai susikurti savo tinklaraštį su pavadinimas.blogspot.com galūne. Visą valdymo puslapį galite nustatyti lietuvių kalba, tad nereikės sukti galvą dėl nustatymų. Vėliau naudodamiesi Google Webmaster Tools įrankiu galėsite nesunkiai nustatyti puslapio kalbą, tad jūsų rašomi tekstai bus lengviau priimami lietuviškų paieškos sistemų – Google.lt.

Kita labai populiari blogoferma yra Wordpress.com, kuri leidžia susikurti nemokamą tinklaraštį. Valdymas čia dar paprastesnis. Šios blogofermos tinklaraščiai greitai būna surandami per paieškos sistemas, todėl drąsiai galite atsidaryti paskyrą. Tinklaraščiai bus su pavadinimas.wordpress.com galūne.

Rusams priklausanti blogoferma Livejournal.com irgi yra puiki vieta vesti savo pokerio tinklaraštį. Jame irgi galima nusistatyti lietuvių kalbą (arba rusų, jei patogiau), tad vargo neturėtų būti. Blogui suteikiama vartotojo_vardas.livejournal.c om galūnė.

Dar viena nemokama bet ne tokia populiari Blogoferma yra my.Opera.com. Tie, kas naudoja Opera naršyklę ši kompanija jau yra žinoma. Čia nustatymų šiek tiek mažiau, bet tinklaraštį vesti tikrai lengva.

Vienas iš didžiausių mini-tinklaraščių blogofermų yra Tumblr.com, bet čia vesti blogą apie pokerį NEREKOMENDUOJAMA, kadangi administratoriai tikrina vartotojų turinį, o pokerio tematika rašomus tinklaraščių autorius banina. To nedaro pagrindinis Tumblr konkurentas Posterous.com kuriame tinklaraštį galima publikuoti tiesiog parašius visą tekstą el. paštu. Tiesa, šiose blogofermose labai nedaug papildomų funkcijų.

Egzistuoja tik pokeriui skirtos blogofermos, tačiau jos turi vieną minusą – ten galima rašyti tik nustatytomis kalbomis, dažniausiai anglų. Tik viena blogoferma turi lietuvių kalbą – my.pokernews.com. Deja, kitos lietuvių kalba rašomų tinklaraščių netoleruotų.

Yra ir vien tik lietuviams skirta blogoferma Pokeris24.com, kurioje blogus galima rašyti tik lietuvių kalba. Čia funkcijų nedaug, užtat kiekvienas parašytas tinklaraščio įrašas susilaukia nemažai skaitytojų dėmesio be jokios pašalinės reklamos forumuose ar socialiniuose tinkluose.

Manau pasirinkti yra iš ko. Aišku, jei trūksta daugiau nemokamų pasaulinių blogofermų, galima pasiieškoti ir kitų. Asmeniškai rekomenduočiau aukščiau išvardintuosius, nes jų visiškai pakanka rašant pokerio tinklaraštį lietuviškai.

Apsispręskite ir pirmyn! Tinklaraščio sukūrimui sugaišite mažiau nei pusvalandį savo brangaus laiko.
