Shark Tour Announcement, Updates

After 4 years and about 800 tourneys I took a much needed break in January, 2007. I entertained a few nice offers to purchase our sites but decided to keep the business and continue onward with a few changes. The Shark Tour is back in February. Post in our forum if you have questions or ideas to improve our Tour!

This is my current plan. It may need tweaking but here goes.

Less Tourneys. I think we had too many going and its hard on me doing that many, plus blog, forum etc. I'll do a better job in other areas if I host less tourneys and don't have set dates where I have to set one up (ie, every thurs, every sunday, etc.). I can get better adds and prizes with less events also.

Keep the forum up. I'm not going to get disappointed anymore with the players that don't support us there. I'll continue to ask for support and if they come great. I would miss all the great contact (and jokes) from my many friends there if we closed up.

BLOG. The blog is a great way to communicate tourney problems and upcoming events. But I quickly got tired of talking about myself. It gets old and I really don't think i'm that exciting, i'm not a high limit player and have not traveled much in the last few years so it seems boring talking about my life. Maybe when we move to Vegas I will be able to report on more live tournys which is interesting. Where I live now the structures are horrible and they are mostly allin fests.

So i'm going to work hard to get my VETS to post guest blogs to keep the blog going. I have some nice SWAG stored up and will do poker site CASHISH transfers also for good guest blog posts. I wanna hear about anything interesting. Trips, Poker, Mustang Ranch reports, Norms endless supply of good jokes, your neighbor getting arrested, a BORN street brawl, a final table WIN, basically anything and everything.

Here is a great example of what I want to do with the blog. Death Donkey (fellow 2+2 poster and high limit player) has a blog and several of his friends post on it. So its not all about one guy. I think a blog with several interesting people posting would be much more fun for the readers. And that takes the pressure off me to find something to write about all the time. Maybe I can get a few of you to commit to 1 post a month or something like that. I bet I could get 2 a month outta the jippster. Guys with web sites (Gumbee, Headwaiter, etc) can promote their dealo's when they post also so maybe I can help you out a lil also. If you have a home biz or something to promote go for it on my blog when you make a good post. Lets all network and help fellow shark members.

Check out this bloggage for an example: http://deathdonkey.com/

I would love comments, ideas and requests in our forum! If you can help out with more forum posts, write a blog or would be willing to help out by encouraging more forum posters or buyin players you will help our TOUR survive and we will get stronger. If you are a sharkette (lady shark playa) we need you to tell your friends and help promote the ladies freeroll to make it work. Posting in the Ladies Threads in the forum also is a big help. If I can see improvement and interest in special events (ladies, Omaha, etc) then the sites will let us continue.

Okay, thats enough for now. I'll get a few good tourneys up next month. Short handed, Omaha, Ladies event and some freerolls.

Fire some questions at me or make suggestions NOW! There are NO bad ideas.....Whats on your mind donkey boy/girl?

Your once feared short handed, limit leader (in training now, NL donk),

Sharkee

NOTE: I'm looking into setting up a fundraiser Tournament for 2 of my good friends (Guy and Joanne, Sempaii Jo and PokerPadre). Jo has been very sick and they need our help. Ideas for this February event in the forum please. If we could raise a thousand or 2 it would be a huge help to a great couple.
