We're Famous!

This is a discussion on We're Famous! within the LP Card Room forums, part of the Poker! Poker! Poker! category; I'm amused! So, for all you grinders out there, you have probably heard of Two Plus Two. If you haven't, ...

    We're Famous!

    I'm amused! So, for all you grinders out there, you have probably heard of Two Plus Two. If you haven't, well.... it can be a bit intimidating. Hard core players at 2p2. When I first started playing poker I joined and thought it would be a great place to enhance my game. It scared the crap outta me! I have the utmost respect for 2p2. It is without a doubt the first place I go for the inside scoop on gaming, but it is the last place to go if you want a hug.

    Anyway, someone stumbled upon us and made a post there today. No doubt it will be spammed because we don't pay to advertise on 2p2, so I don't think they will allow the forum to be linked. There is an Everleaf gaming thread which I am allowed to post in if Luvin Poker is specifically mentioned, otherwise I mostly observe. Here is a link to the thread, but otherwise I will copy the original post below. Luvin Poker, WTF? - Internet Poker - Online Poker Forum

    Luvin Poker, WTF?
    Alright, can someone please explain to me what the deal is with this place? I'm 99% sure it's a skin on Everleaf. I'd be interested to hear about it's past, and also why the **** it has a huge forum and weather that forum is a sham with just the admin posting all day.

    Some posters have 25k+ posts. Everleaf is super small. Who is Luvin Poker, where did they come from, and what is their niche? I've seen that a couple 2+2'ers claim to play there and I wonder how the **** they found out about it and why, when there are other skins like Minted who has a support thread here on 2+2, do they play there. Plus, they don't offer rakeback on their webpage and I can't imagine these 2+2 grinders I've seen would sign up to a site without it.

    Basically, I feel like I've either completely missed something and everyone knows about this site or it's a bizarre underworld that may or may not be full of real people, or could just be some sort of marketing trick.

    Here's a link to their forum. Thanks for any help understanding this. http://luvinpokerplayers.com/forum/index.php


    For the old timers here, this is very reminiscent of the Social Lounge on Poker Room calling us a cult about 6 years ago.

    I'm sticking to the story that we are a bizarre underworld.

    Its so hard for me to keep quiet in there. Someone just posted our support is awful which is sooooo funny because that is the one area I am constantly told is great.


    I'm sure this thread will be gone by morning. Grrr.

    Its nice to get recognized, but trust me - when we modeled LP it was to be the opposite of forums like 2p2. Although they are tops as far as info and have the largest following of players in any forum I have ever seen, they make our Poli Pit look like going to Disneyland.

    Bizarre underworld.......I like it!


    BTW I have to agree with you about 2+2, Some great poker knowledge, but some real a$$holes. Oh and for the poster, wake up and pull your head out of your....... (sorry I was about to sink to his level) I'll just go with this instead... Glad you found us come stay awhile, it may just improve your attitude.
