The 2003 Profile Contest Winners!
About the Contest:
For those of you who are unfamiliar, if you click on the nickname of a player
on either of the "Play" pages, you will be presented with a "profile",
a text description that player has created about themselves. These profiles
are a great way for players to get to know one another. At the suggestion of
several community members who would love to see more players write up profiles
for themselves, we decided to hold a special All inPlay Profile
Contest! There were several categories that people entered their profiles in,
the categories were:
1. #Funny (which is to say a profile of YOU that is funny as opposed to just
a bunch of jokes)
2. #Helpful (offers a tip)
3. #Community Building (tells folks about you and encourages them to talk with
you and or make friends on the site)
4. #Singles (AKA the best "personal ad" <smile>).
If you want, you can Edit your profile

- Nickname: Jill
- Profile:
- I'm Jill, have 4 kids. I just wanted to take a moment to tell you
about them. I have three boys and one girl. The boys are getting to
the age where they like to smell good; so I decided to purchase them
some cologne to make them feel good. Anyway, one night while playing
poker the boys decided to test the product. Suddenly this God awful
smell hit me; my eyes started watering, I started coughing and choking
and instantly had a headache. I informed my fellow poker players of
this; they were all so helpful; offering gas masks, aspirin, rubber
mallets to beat the children, etc. It was all so funny. My daughter
has her moments too; one day while cleaning the house I informed her
that I had a headache; her response was so kind; she said, "fascinating!"
What love, comfort and support! Such loving children!

- It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as Bill in California.
The first thing I do is make sure the player locates and understands
the usefulness of the tilda key. The tilda key is the key that will
tell you what kind of hand ranking you have. It is my feeling a player
should learn excellent poker skills before they try bluffing. One
of the biggest mistakes I see players make is maxing a bet right off
the bat. This discourages players to make a bet. Instead of maxing
lure your opponents in to a smaller bet which will result in more
chips for you. When the bet comes back to you then you may decide
to make a larger bet or even max at that time. I would love to discuss
strategy and build our poker skills together. MSN kb6hrb@yahoo.com

- Profile:
- The nickname's Pedigree, I'm a computer consultant and software
tech. Let''s face it, computers pay my bills, almost run my life,
and keep me sane! I'm also in training for the Microsoft office certification
because I also like and spent 5 years teaching computers to visually
impaired clients. I love music and play synthesizers in an R&B
and jazz band.
I also would like to invite yall to the hippest and hottest joint
in cyberspace the Finishing Touch Bar and Grill. The motto says
it all, "when ya leave here, you're finished!" We serve
up food drink fun and friendship; and we do it virtually all night
long. Like any house ya come to visit, there are rules though and
they will be enforced by myself and other players in the joint.
No abuse of any player at any time is tolerated here. No intimidating
players out of the joint just to win their points is allowed in
here either. Only bots and dealers are allowed to take insults,
punches kicks, beatdowns or any other varieties of fisticuffs ya
want to deliver. If you've got an issue with somebody who's in the
joint, check your negativity at the freakin door, come on in, pppull
up a chair, and mix it up, ya here!
