Because I am happy to be able to participate here being so close to but not quite american! Gotta love canada.

I of course actively use the sample hand forums to strengthen my game, and when I had a taste of that diamond level FL video I would love to be able to watch more of those just to understand the complex levels of this game and gain more of an appreciation for it.

The high stakes dynamic is also so exciting to observe, so it'd be awesome to see all of these professional players at their best.

I'll of course be making you many strategy points in the coming weeks with my free time. Poker has become more than obsession having only been playing a very short while!

I will even write a short poem off the top of my head for this

Oh the diamond status should be mine
If only for a month then that is fine!
Spurring me harder to re-attain it
Will be my fixed goal as I see fit
I can indulge a vast treasure trove
Even if my BR dove
For it's benefits will be greater than rakeback
All those weaker players I'll be able to crack
My skill will grow
And the +EV will not slow
Oh the diamond status should be mine
Be it first second or third in line!

My hopeful status upgrade depicted by me!

They Came Begging From Outer Space!
Original screenplay by Waiboy
Additional sundry dialog by Quentin Tarantino, Guy Ritchie and Mr Singh from the corner dairy.

Soundtrack stolen from You Tube.

Scene One
Setting: Dusk in a sleepy seaside colony somewhere off the Spanish Coast. Our camera pans across the water toward, up then over "The Rock" - reminiscent of an opening scene over extraordinary scenic mountain ranges in epic saga "LOTR : The Two Towers". Only much shorter because, well, there's only one hill and it's much smaller. {Editors note: perhaps CGI another "Rock" to improve impact?}.

The camera settles at the doorway of a building - home to a philanthropic, humanitarian poker strategy website / pizzeria. With startling speed the camera unexpectedly pans upward toward the sky. Loud rumbling sounds boom out, scaring peaceful peasant folk riding their humble late model Ducati's through cobbled streets. We see a myriad of flashing multicoloured lights appear shining through the darkened, cloud covered sky. Suddenly a space ship of immense beauty and self evident technological wonder bursts through the clouds. Cue ominous fear inducing incidental music:

What the f*** was that? I said ominous fear inducing incidental music you frickin...

The narrator, remembering where he is and that his remuneration has perfomance based component, recomposes himself. Cue ominous fear inducing incidental music:

Seriously?!?! Is this the BEST we could do? FFS.

The LAGTAG battle cruiser slowly descends landing with a heavy thud at the doors of the office building/alfresco dining area. A ramp appears as if from nowhere {Editors note: Due to budget constraints brought on from a huge downswing at high stakes badugi this may actually look more like a 3 step ladder from Bunnings Warehouse - may need additional crepe paper scrunchies for effect} and from a mass of steam and light {Editors note: Need foggy day and Maglite} the LAGTAG fleet High Commander De'lers But'n steps... erm.. ominously. A hush eminating from the assembled crowd {EN: tourist season?} provides the platform for Cmdr But'n to speak:

Cmdr But'n: Les gens de la communauté du poker en ligne de la Terre! Merde! Merde! Merde! Inutile IT département....

Cmdr But'n hits helmet several times, muttering in some weird alien language, then continues:

Cmdr But'n: Vi kommer med et budskap om håp i disse mørke tider!!!

Cmdr But'n unleashes an unholy alien exclamation unfit for any sort of translation given we're aiming for a GA rating.

Cmdr But'n: People of the online poker community of Earth - well thank fuck for that {EN: :f_mad:} - we come with a message of hope in these dark times!

The sound of mass apathy booms from the cinema speakers. Possibly sounds like a mumbled "meh". We see Cmdr But'n adjust his rhinestone encrusted maroon spandex battle shorts [Waiboy note: stolen with much love - Douglas Adams RIP] and prepares to continue:

Cmdr But'n: You have a member amoung you...

Security guard one: Who're you 'ere to see?

Cmdr But'n: I am High Commander D'lr But'n of the LAGTAG battle fleet come to Earth with a message of...

Security guard one: Look mate, I don't care who you are, you can't park that thing 'ere. Fine's death by spatula. Your choice mate.

Cmdr But'n (looking slightly confused): But I come with a message of hope for a member of your online community, the one they call Waiboy the well endowed, donator of thousands of your USD to needy computer geeks and borderline psychopathic raising machines all around your world!

Security guard one: Look mate, you need level three. This 'ere's Vhallee's Exotic Emporium, perveyour of, well, your more specialised type of marital aid. If you know what I mean! And I'm gonna go out on a limb 'ere and suggest you don't know what I mean.

Cmdr But'n: But.. but... Waiboy needs diamond status to complete his destiny.. he is the one who destroys Skylab in the battle that is to come... that and of course, he really, really, really, really, really, really... reallyreallyreally wants it!

Security guard one: Can't 'elp ya mate. Push off will ya, there's a freaky foot 'n 'alf weird arse space alien sort of chap.

Cmdr But'n: But.. but... where's the happy ending?

Well, where is it?

In short - because I really pay attention to learning and improving my poker play. Because I'm older than most of internet poker players, so there's less chance, that "I try, it won't get as I wanted, so I leave". And because I will use it, not only "have it" :)


Because my boyfriend doesn't believe I could ever become diamond.

Having higher status then him would be awsome!!! :)


I wouldn't say that I deserve the Diamond status more than others, but I will say that it now tops my Christmas Wishlist.

What isn't better than to please, give and make people happy near christmas?

My reason is simple, but honest. I would've been very glad, and I would've appreciate it alot. I'm taking poker very seriously, and this gift would be my greatest gift this year.

How about you beeing kindheartet, and give it to someone who will use it for the maximum and really appreciate it?:).

xoxo

Hello dear friends !
If you are reading my post you should be aware that you race for 2 left diamond statuses!"Why 2" ? -someone ( gifted player) will say !Because I will take the 3rd one for sure!smile I started playing poker a year and a half ago.My beginning i put in Facebook .I spent a lot of sleepless nights of reading and mastering my game and I succeed to reach 400 000 000 of chips there!One sunny day I received a message in my box -something like " You haven't updated your account soon and if you don't do that soon we will delete it -follow this link to upate"! This was a trap from hackers and they took my passoword and all my chips But instead of being broken and in a bad mood I decided to start a real money poker career!I invested some funds in poker rooms and started playing!One rainy day I was at home betting and check-raising on my PC smile Suddenly a player told me there is a site called "pokerstrategy.com" and If i pass a quiz there i can gain a free starting capital!The idea was amazing- free money!I read the articles connected with the quiz and on my 3rd try i did it!Until then I read any article and I keep to improve my game!
Best wishes to all!

I play tournaments and in the micro buy ins that i play it is hard to even become silver:(, i had to play SNGs to get enough points to become silver so i can read the articles and watch the videos and learn. By getting diamond i could concentrate on my tourneys and read and learn all the articles and videos more than making shure that i stay silver. I have bounced mack and forward between bronze and silver for almost a year now. please give me diamond membership so i can read and watch and learn more.


i love mathematics and psichology and that's why I became interested in poker. I am a professional Forex trader and I fell in love with poker because of some similarities between it and my job: they both involve probabilities, money management and psichology.
With or without recieving diamond status I will still get there. I have what it takes to become a proffessional poker player. It's just a matter of time until I get there.
Until then study study study, learn learn learn, read read read, practice practice practice, play play play

Cheers to pokerstrategy team for doing a great job!


whats up with all the people posting their first ever post here. i hope the reward doesnt go to someone who has just signed up, since they dont have much use for it anyway.

I want diamond status because:

:spade: I neeeeeeeeeed it. I really really really really really neeeed it.

:heart: Ok, lets be honest. I AM THE CHOSEN ONE! More than 1000 years, humanity have waited this moment... More than 1000 poker rooms have opened with one reason - to wait when THE CHOSEN ONE comes in their poker room... More than 1000 players have been banned because, they lied, that they are THE CHOSEN ONES... And here it is... The big true... I AM THE CHOSEN ONE! All of the Poker gods, have putted their minds together, to create me! And here I am. You just can't deny it.

:diamond: If you wont give me diamond status, I will tell it to my mother! _confused: And yes... She will hurt you! _mad:

:club: And there is even song, which explains why exactly I am that one, who need Diamond status:
(Song by Michael Jackson)

She always takes it with a flush or stright
'Cause all she does is throw all-in to me
I've spent a lifetime
Looking for some royal flush
Don't try to understand me

Give it when I want it
'Cause I'm on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me pokerstrategy
Give in to me
Give in to me

You always knew just how to make me fold
And never did I ask you questions why
It seems you get your chips from hurting me
Don't try to understand me
Because your bluff just isn't enough

Diamond is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin' me higher
Diamond is a power
I just wanna win it
Give in to me
Give in to me

She and her friends
Were laughing at me in tournament
But it's okay
And it's okay
You wont be laughing girl
When I will be Diamond
I'll be okay
And I'll, I'll win all
Gotta, the peace of chips yeah

Don't try to win me
Because your bluff
Just aren't enough

Diamond is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin' me higher
Talk to me pokerstrategy
Diamond is a feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

Diamond is a feeling

Quench my desire
Takin' me higher

Me? no real reason..
maybe.. just to make the poeple who made those long interesting posts pissed :evil:


I should get diamond status because you are not rewarded with strategy points for studying the game, reading articles, reveiwing sessions and watching videos!

If you did, i would be there already!

I sacrifice long hours of grinding a gazzillion tables to devote time to improving my game and improving myself. This means i dont earn as many strategy points as some players but im am always improving and maintain a passion for the game. Diamond status would accentuate this passion and also my ability to improve enableing me to glide up the levels and test my knowledge against some of the greatest players, taking my thinking to a new level.

Thanks anyway!


Meh, I'll get there soon enough. I'd rather work my way up there gradually. But I'll help with the judging for this thread

Here's #1

I think i deserve diamond status because i am crazy enough to grind 120 hours to make 1100$ from 100 at 3 dollar sng's at party poker (that shows i'm not a gambler) and then go to a live tourney with buy in of 1100 and tell everybody that i learned poker at pokerstrategy. Another reason is that i reffered to 35 people and 30 of them got their starting capital because i was on their back all day long to learn and do the test. The final reason is that i want to get to supernova that means lots of rakesharing for pokerstrategy and for that i need to play higher limit sng's and would like to see some videos of those.And a funny reason would be that at the live tourney i had to play for 12 hours with him on my left crazy guy


I want to become Diamond because then I'll be worth millions, lol . :P


I should get it because it would be a good cause from pokerstrategy...

or maybe because when i started using PS it helped me too turn the 50$ to 800$... :)

And because i'm a big big fan :f_biggrin:

But anyway, merry x-mas everyone!
