The Poker Community on Steemit
When I was introduced to Steemit, it was through the idea that this was a place to find your community, something I was in desperate need of at the time. When I got on board, however, everything seemed so confusing and BIG I wasn't sure where to land. Until I found the @spl, created by @tuck-fheman.
It's been this community that has reignited my love of writing, of playing with friends and of supporting those projects I have found to be most beneficiary for the Steemit Community. I have heard from SPL community members who are able to help feed the poor in their neighborhoods, kindling hope in an area of the planet in dire need of hope, in part through success in poker tournaments and @spl member upvotes. I've known members loan SBD's to friends in need and many who donate their winnings back to SPL in order for the whole community to continue.
I made that word cloud above of my google translation of 'Long Live the Community' into as many languages as I know are being spoken by the members of the @SPL Poker Community. I'm certain I've missed quite a few.
As ruthless as the smack-talk on the table can get; as furiously tilted we each get when we've yet again gotten sucked out on the river, we are a community who cares about one another and about Steemit as a whole. Our founder, @Tuck-fheman has ensured it with the stringent screening process new members must go through in order to be accepted into the league and his willingness to listen to the community about desired changes to the poker game.
We will prevail, my friends. We have a multitude of members who are not willing to let this great community be destroyed. I hope you know that everything possible is being done to save our League. Stop by our discord channel for updates or to discuss and if you haven't already, register to play with us at Lucksacks.com and then head to discord and let us know you're ready!
Wonderful, looking forward to wagering steem in poker
New to the SPL today! Im excited to become a valued member of the good fight! And to playing some poker soon...
Welcome to the @spl. We won't let the asshole bring us down.
Sorry to hijack. @tuck-fheman, you should post a comment for us to vote on when you make these posts. That way, we can give two votes and you may have a better chance of positive rewards for your games.
I was excited to . but denied because im new to steemit..
Every online poker site is a scam anyways, save your SBD and steem you'll make more the giving it to Lucksacs. They are scamming ppl from there STEEM. and SBD.. BEWARE
I registered today also! Wanna play soon!
i believe you need 30 rep, and a good intro post.
Oh! Thanks for your explanation. Will work on that!
That should help with the rep :)
Nice message @bethalea. The @spl is way too strong to let anyone take us down. It represents what steemit is supposed to be about. The ability to connect with people from all over the world and share something together which we all love.
Of course a little trash talk is fun too.
Team Poker is coming again. DJC team is ready to defend the crown.
I've been offline since summer, ready to come back to the tables! Long live the community, looks like it has grown a lot! Well done @tuck-fheman
You have all our support Tuck! The spl will become stronger with this!
Haven't stopped by and played poker in a while. I just wanted to stop by and say Happy New Year to everyone.
Happy New Year!
I'm on-board and willing to do whatever it takes.
Keep me posted.
thanks!!
xo
I have been with this poker community right from the start. Its amazing to watch the prize pools and this community to grow.
Well done Tuck :)
😃😃😃😃
Wow !! Nice and cool pics about steemit,thanks for sharing this on here
As a new steemiter, I find your post very couraging, thank you!
I can't tell you how many people have been encouraged to become better steemians because of @Tuck-Fheman's rigorous screening process. People are interested in playing in the @spl, but myself and others inform them they must make an intro post, post regularly, etc. in order to be accepted and when it's said like that, people are more than willing to get on board. The result is ever more people adding quality to steemit and that benefits us all.
i will join it soon i am think about this
hey Tuck ... full repect on what you have done for this - our - poker community. I think you did an abolutely outstanding job having provided us an platform totally free where one can socialize and enjoy around of poker. Most of the time its really fun and it always should be this way.
I really feel bad about what happened as this is really taking away for some of the guys an essential part of life. It is not only that one can make a buck or two but more importantly the fact that you are being able to grow steemit in gerneral an make it a place where one loves to be.
I hope this community will overcome this situation and turn out ever stronger than before.
your @spirits4you
