The promotion started now. We have selected the first threads, and the voting is going on in the PTOTW #1 thread on this same Community Awards forum.

Threads written during this week will be considered for nomination next week.

We will contact the winner to find out the best option. Direct transfer to a poker account should work fine.

Even though the jokes were great and I even added some of my own to a separate thread, the rules of the post of the week states the nominee thread must be poker related.

Default how do you determine good threads?

are you looking for something specific that enhances the threads you pick each week for the $100, or is this strictly random?

Its not random; we look at all threads from past week and try to select interesting poker related threads, especially ones that have got other users talking.

Try writing something thought provoking.
