Hello to all the newcomers who have entered this thread to get the event's password (Post #2) shortly.

We generally aim to award our Qualified Members (those who contribute routinely to the FlopTurnRiver boards) with as much added value as possible in our password-protected Exclusive Events.

However, we also have a dual goal of inviting new members into our community through these tournaments. Our new member and guest numbers dramatically spike before popular exclusive events -- see the Currently Active Users section at the bottom of our Poker Forums page to verify this.

I am not sure whether we will continue to open these tournaments up to our general member list given the all-around low contribution level from most of our new members who sign up just to have access to these tournaments once the passwords are released. Therefore, I welcome all new and low post-count members to browse through our forums, and participate in some meaningful way to justify making the passwords available here in the public forum.

It doesn't require a lot to get to know some of our longtime members. One of the best ways is to post and discuss hand histories or spend a modest amount of time communicating your opinions with our regulars.

We hope you all have the best of luck at the tables and we are also hopeful that we can continue to release these passwords an hour or so before each event here in the forum.
