I sure like the idea of a better place to talk poker than RGP. It has gotten so mean and so little poker. Of course, I have saved much time by not having to read it! Good luck with this new forum gang!

Hi, Jan --

We are greatly honored to see that you've made the first post. Actually, I didn't even know this forum was live yet. We'll be making posts shortly, but you're one of the few people who knows we're here so far.

In case newcomers don't know, Jan Fisher is one of poker's most respected friends. She is a tournament director, the author and mastermind of the Poker 101 series, a host and owner of Card Player Cruises, and more.

Straight Flushes,
Mike Caro

Hi Jan

Thank you for the kind words. I think this has a lot of potential...like you I quit posting on RGP because of the mean-spiritness of the chat. We will get some other good poker experts on this and it should have good poker information.

This is absolutely great...Perhaps the site for the serious low to middle limit player who sincerely wants a group that dedicates itself to the sole purpose of poker awareness...
As we all know as Jan said rgp is totally for disfunctionals and 2+2 you must be a part of the clique or your ignored..
I absolutely respect Mike and Roy for thier many talents and decency beyond poker...
Lets pray we can make this a better environment for all players to feel free to discuss issues concepts etc without repercussion...
Look forward to seeing you again Roy at some point...

Hi, Timmer --

Thanks for dropping by before our announced opening. Just so you know, although Planet Poker did contribute time, labor, and money to getting this started, this will NOT be a Planet Poker forum.

They will simply be one of many sponsors. You'll see other big names soon. Some have already committed. That's why it's the "UNITED" Poker Forum.

Straight Flushes,
Mike Caro

Thanks for putting things straight out on that point Mike . I was wondering about PP's affiliation with this sight.

Just wanted to add my name to the list of well-wishers. I'll be better known after I win the WCOOP final event tomorrow :-)

I have always considered the information gathered from Mike and Roy to be amongst the most valuable, applicable to real-life (as opposed to theoretical), information around.

Good Luck,
Bart

Congratulations on the new, well-designed site. I am very impressed by the many prestigious names among the posters.

Don't forget the idea of implementing a spell check. Any correctly spelled words in this post occur as pure coincidence.

I'm very impressed with both the content and the format that has been developed on the new forum. I look forward to good poker discussions with the experts here, hopefully without the huge amount of noise that has developed on other forums.
