Suggestion - A couple of extras for the weekly freeroll

As we are meant to be a poker site focussed on poker skills and improving our game I have a couple of suggestions to help achieve this.


One to recognise that skilful players can pretty much lose their tournament life to a donkey, the all-in bad beat award. A cash prize to the person that suffered the most extreme bad beat when called or calling an all-in.


Second and possibly more controversial given the you can't name and shame people rulings; Donkey of the week award, given to the person making the most stupid play. The dude/dudette that called a pre flop raise, the flop, the turn and river, went to showdown against bottom pair and had nothing. The player that shipped a tier 3 pair into a tier 1 pair. The player that bled every single chip calling every single hand and raise because they are clueless. The dude that actually won the tournament by shipping their chips with any ace and multiple weak offerings and running extreme variance over a 60%VPIP and surviving due to dozens of bad beats.


It might seem a bit mean and personal but honestly if you just keep letting it slide these idiots will actually think that what they are doing is long term profitable and will go on to ruin themselves financially because nobody had the decency to tell them they were a fool.


If the sites goal is to give people a false sense of confidence so they can bankrupt themselves then I'll shut up.  If you want to actually improve peoples game and experience though start acting that way.
