Olympic fever on the PKR forum

It seems that everyone wants to get in a piece of the Olympic spirit at the moment, and PKR are no different.

However, their approach is a bit different to other poker or bingo rooms you might have seen on the net, as they’re offering their own special pentathlon which will be played out live on the PKR forum.

5 events are being planned, one of which will take place every day this week:

Event #1: Joke-athon: (Monday 18th August)
A nice and easy event to get things underway. Simply post your favourite joke. It doesn’t need to be poker related – it just needs to be funny!

&nbsp

Event #2: Poker Wisdom: (Tuesday 19th August)
Your chance to show how far you’ve come. PKR are encouraging their members to post a piece of invaluable poker knowledge. Don’t worry, this doesn’t have to be a huge essay – in fact it has to be under 50 words – and you may be able to help someone else out in the process!

Event #3: Best Bluff-athon: (Wednesday 20th August)
Ok, so poker’s not all about bluffing, but it’s a great feeling when you’re able to make an opponent lay down a winning when you’ve got nothing but scraps. The Bluff-athon will allow you to relieve that feeling as you tell the rest of the forum exactly how the whole thing went down.

There are a couple of rules to this: firstly, the bluff must have been succesful and secondly it must have happened on PKR, as you will need to post the details from your Hand History folder.

Event #4: Poker Poem: (Thursday 21st August)
I’m really not sure how this one is going to go down! However, if you fancy writing a few lines of verse (anything from a Haiku to a Limerick to a sonnet!) about the great game then you could be in with a chance of winning a prize.

Event #5: Look-alike-athon: (Friday 22nd August)
This final event will need a bit more work and dedication…

As you know, PKR are famous for their 3d poker rooms and easily editable avatars. Well PKR want you to play around with your avatar until he/she looks like someone famous. It doesn’t matter who, they just need to be well known.

Once you’re happy with your work, you’ll simply need to save your changes and post the final picture in the forum along with the person you were trying to imitate.

&nbsp

So how do you take part?
You’ll be pleased to know it’s very easy to get involved. Every day a post will be created in the PKR Forum containing details of the day’s events. Simply post your best entry into that thread and the board’s Administrators will pick a winner!

&nbsp

That’s great, so what do I win?
In true Olympic style, each competition will have three winners:

Gold medal – $55 TV Showdown Ticket and a 300 Piece PKR Chipset
Silver medal – $55 TV Showdown Ticket
Bronze medal – $30 PKR Open Ticket

&nbsp

Best of luck to all. Obviously new members will need to register with PKR in order to post in their forum. So if you’re going to sign up, be sure to have a look at our PKR Bonus page to make sure that you get some free cash while you’re doing so!
