----------------------------------- PokerGuru 07.04.2009, 12:08 April Why I'm Here CONTEST - WINNER ANNOUNCED ----------------------------------- Hello to my loyal followers, the mighty PCers! Here is your first "thinking hard" contest for April. Thanks to Bower for the idea, as his entry in last month's contest. Simply post below why you are a member of Poker Crush. Since new ideas may come to you during the month as you think about it, you may add on to your entry by adding more posts about it. I will put all of each individual's posts together as one at the end of the month. Everyone who enters is eligible for the $30 prize. My hope is that you will learn more about yourself as you think about everything that makes you remain a loyal PCer. Don't be afraid to open up at THIS place! Best wishes to each of you! RULES: You must have 3000 earned PC points to redeem for a $30 cash prize. If you come up short, you will receive 3000 PC points instead of cash, so you will have them next time! You must have informed us of how you wish to be paid, by filling out the form titled "My Payment Method", found at the top of every page. Winner(s) will be determined by the use of a blind drawing box, into which names of participants will be placed. The box has a built-in stirrer which mixes the names and a built-in propellant which shoots out the name(s) of the winner(s). Yes. I, Guru, am the architect of this super-fair contraption, which I call The Winners Box. You must post your entry or entries below. Deadline is the last day of the month at midnight. Your Guru ----------------------------------- crzynana2001 07.04.2009, 13:50 ----------------------------------- Why am I here? I started out as a casino-crush member. When poker-crush opened I was at first a bit skeptical of being taught how to play better poker online but after reading just 1 of Guru's lessons ( which showed me something I did not know) I immediately put PC in my list of favorites to visit many times a day. When chat started, I knew this was a good idea. Especially, being able to get answers to questions in real-time. Now, chat answers are about many things, from the havoc being done by mother nature to (you guessed it) poker questions. When I was asked to be secretary, at first I was afraid I wasn't up to the challenge. But as time has went on, I have found the challenge to be enjoyable, but no less challenging every week, as chat is different every week. When something prevents me from being at chat Tuuesday evenings, I feel as if there is something important missing from my day. Well, I had no intention of writing a book, but there just is no simple way to answer the question "Why am I here?" ----------------------------------- ojisplayin 07.04.2009, 16:03 ----------------------------------- To Meet NEW Friends.

Poker Crush was able to create the same type of forum successfully by following that model along with the outstanding teaching and guidance of our Guru. Thanks Poker Crush and Poker Guru!!! ----------------------------------- valeria 10.04.2009, 18:01 ----------------------------------- No thinking hard here Guru. I came here because I was interested in learning to play poker the right way. 2. I LOVE the people who, at the time this opened, were mostly Casino Crushers and since we were famlily I already KNEW how great they were! 3. The fact we had our own Guru to teach us how to play poker properly and still teaches us. We learn something new all the time! 4. Now that I am here - well I can't leave if I wanted to! LOL I am addicted! ----------------------------------- slotmom 11.04.2009, 13:17 ----------------------------------- I am here to say hi to all my friends at pc and tell them how much I miss them first . And to let you all know I will be here if it is OK with all of you . I don't seem to play poker but Darn I just miss all of you so much and how nice of a forum this is . I do learn here about poker just can't seem to get into playing it though . I love your chats ,arcade games ,and meeting all the new poker players . I know I don't quit fit in . But it comes down to I just need to say Damn I miss you all Guru and friends . ----------------------------------- sunspun 15.04.2009, 11:16 ----------------------------------- I'm here because this is the sister site to Casino-crush, which is my favorite website ever, so I knew this had to be good too. Mostly, I like the chance to win money at the games and other contests! ----------------------------------- afulk8 16.04.2009, 06:00 ----------------------------------- I came from CC and just hung around like the last annoying guest to leave the party....the members & our wonderful guru make this the best poker forum around! ----------------------------------- crzynana2001 20.04.2009, 09:09 ----------------------------------- bump ----------------------------------- paulajardine 27.04.2009, 21:40 ----------------------------------- I was and still am a member of casino crush and kept seeing posts and banners for poker crush so I decided to join since I like that site so much. I am still reading and browsing this site but so far so good :) ----------------------------------- PokerGuru 02.05.2009, 21:20 ----------------------------------- Thank you, my loyal Poker Crushers, for such honest entries! I am so glad we have all learned here at PC that as long as it is honest, any statement will be accepted without prejudice by all Poker Crushers -- and respected, whether agreed with or not! WHAT A GREAT and HUGE Life Lesson! To be truthful, I had hoped for more entries. But I LOVED all we DID get! Besides, you can make a post about this at anytime. It doesn't have to be in a contest. In fact, any time you start thinking about ANYTHING, you should start typing your thoughts. Then you can either delete them or (I promise) be delighted to post them here for others who also think, to read ..... and to respond to with their own thoughts, which should help you see more clearly! Our Winner's Box says the winner of this contest is: -->-->-->--> For $30 cash ---------- Valeria <--<--<--<-- Congratulations, Valeria! I cannot imagine PC without you being here. I can now say the same to every other person who entered. It just would not be Poker Crush without YOU!
