A proper introduction - Who is EvilGenius?

Welcome aboard.  Make sure to upload some hands using PowerTools.

Thank you!

I haven't had time to check PowerTools out just yet, but will do so tonight.

I would be interested in your feedback on how hard or easy it is to do given the instructions.  That is the one part we have difficulty getting people to complete and so it would be nice to get some feedback as to why this might be.

Hey it's great to have you here.  I am really liking the way our community is shaping up.  I think you'll find that people here actually care about each other and want to help others improve.  It's like the total opposite of every other poker forum I've visited.

Good luck at the tables, I'm looking forward to seeing some of your sessions and talking strategy with you.

Great to see you join the community, hope you enjoy your stay here.

welcome EvilGenius! good to have you here!

Thanks everyone!

Beanie>> I will apply for one of the bankrolls now, so I'll come back with feedback as soon as I am done.

So, I have applied for the Doyels Room bankroll now and here is my comments on the registration process.

1. I think that the amount of text might scare some people away. Maybe add a bold, red text on top saying "This process only takes about 10 minutes".

2. It is a little bit complicated. I assume many people are afraid of installing the software and are used to just typing a bonuscode and get the money instantly

Some things that you might change is:

- Adding the red text I talked about
- Changing the text You MUST come back to Bluff.com and fill out your user profile. The link goes to the actual user profile, while you need to click in navigation to the left to change it. It took me a few minutes to realize this.
-  Doyle's Room Screen Name? Is it the Screen name or the login name you want? Got a bit confused, maybe it's possible to clarify?

And thats about it. Waiting for my 10$ at the moment. I think that a big reason why people don't sign up is because they expect to get 100$ to gamble away right away. But if Im not wrong, your not looking for that kind of people anyway.

1.  Interesting feedback.

2.  We are going to a download page, I think that will help.  Right now it just goes straight to download and I think that feels a bit weird to some people.  I know it would feel weird to me if I had no history with a site.  Obviously as we become better known some of this will change.

3.  I don't understand your point about the user profile, as long as you are signed in that link should indeed bring you to your user profile page.  At the very least I changed the Absolute Poker page and will do something similar.  I will also sign up for a new account to see if I can understand your point there.

4.  The login name/username thing is annoying I agree.  Turns out it should be login name, though I can make both work.

5.  I actually don't think they are looking for $100 it seems the big hurdle for most people is the powertools thing.  I do however think you are dead on, most people want the money and not so much the training, so the minute things get difficult they just drop it.

Your insight was very valuable, I appreciate it very much.

welcome and it is good to have you here. Look foward to seeing your progress. All the best
