Why I Sponsor the Weekly Thursday Poker Tourney

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

Do the right thing and it will all work out. This has always been a life mantra of mine. This has be reinforced dramatically since I became apart of this amazing Steemit community. The amount of good being down on this platform is absolutely incredible and it defines the ideal platform of mutual obligations.

O someone just help me out, who can I help now?

I love this aspect of Steemit and it truly has the ability to be one of Steemit's defining differential attributes compared to other social media platforms.

The feeling of doing good is just that contagious. It absolutely an incredible pattern to see at scale.

Everyday I see Steemians giving positive feedback & energy, stimulating thoughtful, meaningful discussions, and working on ways to create real, positive change.

How blessed are we of @dan , @ned , and all the witnesses and other Steemians behind the scenes to make sure this amazing platform is alive and thrives.

This leads me to why I sponsor the Weekly Thursday Poker Tourney.

It's the right thing to do.

When I first joined Steemit, the Steemians apart of the @spl like @tuck-ftheman , @guyfawkes4-20 , and others helped me so much feel apart of something special. I think that's even where I had one of my first interactions with @acidyo , the leader of @ocd . He has only played in one poker tourney and if my memory is correct I sat at his table and we interacted. It really gave me that extra positive reinforcement us humans need sometimes. I can't say my transition into becoming a Steemian would have been so positive if it wasn't for these experiences.

I feel very blessed and appreciative to have found about Steemit when I did. The people, the content, and the experiences I have had on here has taken me to a whole new level.

So Steemit, Inc and fellow Steemians thank you for being you and doing all that you do. You have changed me to be the person I have always dreamed I would become.

I hope by sponsoring the Weekly Thursday Poker Tourney and all the other work I out into this platform I can give back to a community that has given me so much.

Thank you as always for your time and attention.

Awh shucks thank you so much for that positivity. You da bomb.com

And me too it truly is a blessing :)

Dude, I'm really happy that you're part of this community. :D

Ayyyyyyyyyy thank you my friend, really appreciate all that you do.

Heck yeah buddy :))))

The tourney today was a lot of fun. Thanks for putting it on. I've been on the site for about 4 days and I'm already a fan. Keep it up bro!

You're very welcome buddy, I really appreciate your kind words.

Glad to have you apart of the community :)

Awesome man. Hey quick question for ya...I have been hoping to start playing in some of these tournaments but the schedule doesn't really work for me, do you know if it's possible to play the tournaments on my phone? Cheers

Generally, I would say no. It's possible that luck-sacks works on a phone with Chrome, but I wouldn't bet on it. Poker Stars won't, afaik.

Could be wrong here.

I personally haven't played with it but I just asked @guyfawkes4-20 and he thinks it should work. Hope to see you on the tables soon :)

I have been able to. You can change the settings to Desktop mode or Mobile. It can be difficult on the phone though b/c it seems to log me out if my screen turns off. But it works if you have no other choice.

@chiefmappster @lexiconical @reko Thank you guys. I just created an account on lucksacks and registered for a sit&go on my phone, we'll see what the result it =) hope to see you guys on there.

good luck, seems like it's working then? Please share the result :)

heck yeah buddy can't wait :)

Way to go, @chiefmappster!

Thank you buddy :)

Thank you for your generosity @chiefmappster, you are doing a really great thing supporting this growing community. Together we'll bring back poker stronger than ever! You and the @spl got my full support going forward! :)

Would be nice with more starting chips next time around, with the blinds going up so fast it won't take much longer to finish anyway but will leave more space to play.

Yeah I like that I will make the changes next week to have at least 2500 starting chips. I just personally like the turbo blinds and wanted it to make it different than the other @spl events. Thank you buddy for speaking up you are already making this @spl a better place :)

I appreciate you buddy and heck yeah teamwork makes the dreamwork :)

Ahh I wish I could play, I gotta work :/

Ah danggg maybe next time buddy. Do you work the same time every Thursday?

Ah gotcha gotcha. Yeah I change the times to compensate for others so stay tuned hopefully one of the times will work for you buddy

Yes, however I may be moving back to Spain in a couple months.
