Re: Fox News: Bluefirepoker challenges Obama to $1,000,000 poker

I was a little disappointed in the negative responses at 2+2. At least it got them talking and I'm sure visiting the site. They see it as negative EV. They just don't see the business side of it. No politician would dream of taking the challenge, but in one small challenge, the bluefire just became a common and known name on 2+2. Snowball effect.

If a politician did take them up on it, it would make front page news. Seems like a win/win to me.

Re: Fox News: Bluefirepoker challenges Obama to $1,000,000 poker

Congrats!
I'm curious though, how did you go about publicizing the challenge so that the news could/would pick up on it as they have? Was it purely through Digg, or did you send them something, or what? Still an amazingly brilliant idea! Great execution!!!
Oh, and Dugg for ya =)
