Well I have read it more than once and I am not sure what you want an opinion on because I think it describes us perfectly Smile

I think it was put quite nicely but if I opened and started reading to be honest if I was not a poker player I might close it up as this forum is a whole lot more then poker and how to play it .its friends,reinsurance when someone needs it and a whole lot of awesome people.I really hope I didnt offend you in any way as its so much more then poker.contest ,games and the list goes on.but those are the beginning lines you asked us to read. Very Happy

I like what the whole page says, but if I were just reading the 1st 12 lines, I might not check out the whole site. I think that it is important for people to know that they are getting sound advise from a professional poker player not some goof-ball.

Personally, I like what it says. It explains what we as members already know about the site. However, it's not us members that you are trying to entice into exploring the site, it is new visitors you are trying to reach.
With that in mind, I remind you of the old saying,"Money talks,B--s--t walks!" By that I'm not implying that you are a BS'er LMAO!!!! I am simply saying that in order to peak visitors interest in exploring the site extensively,"Free Real Money" has to mentioned very early. Perhaps you could even have a link directing the visitors to a "Testimonial Page" where we as long time members can post about our "Winnings" from both very improved play from our "Guru's" teachings....as well as winnings we've had using the money we've won in the monthly contests!!

Well I thought it sounded great. It should do well in getting most of the guests, who come in to look around, to actually become members. I am finding that those 12 lines ( and I read on ) tell the truth in the great people here and the vast knowledge that can be found.
