HERO POKER CEO’s JULY 2011 PLAYER’S UPDATE

Posted Jul 02, 2011 at 1:55 AM
HERO POKER CEO’s JULY 2011 PLAYER’S UPDATE

-300 Max Players



2. NEW PROMOTIONS

At an effort to put in a micro limit MTT tournament, I've opted for a 1 month trial with 2 micro tournaments at the same time, one for NL and one for PLO;
the only difference is the NL has a starting stack of 2500, and PLO 3000.

2.1 Micro hero NL $30 Guarantee
&
2.2 Micro hero PLO $30 Guarantee
EDIT ADDED Micro Hero Horse limit $30 Guarantee at the same time

Client Location: Tournaments: Scheduled: Special
Buy in: 0.33 (0.30 cents plus .03 admin fee)
-10 handed, 12 min levels, Top 10 payout
-5pm PST, 8pm EST (19:00 Game Server Time)

2.3 PLO hero ARENA $5 US CANADA ONLY
"PLO isn't a game, it's a blood bath: 6 max, 18 start, 3 simultaneous games"
Location: Sit N Go: All : All (priority listing)

This is a freeroll sitngo for PLO, it's more of a mini tournament with 5000 chips and 10min blinds, but it's for exposing players to PLO without risking their own rolls. It is a very different game than NL and if you've never tried PLO, this is your chance. Right now it is set for 3 sitngos to run simultaneous of 18 seated.

This will run as trial basis, as long as this doesn't bust the budget for this on a daily basis, it will be set at 3 simultaneous games with a $5 prize pool with the top 3 being paid out.

It is location restricted to just US CANADIAN players only for the moment, as to prevent abuse. If it is abused, then it will be adjusted to something reasonable.


3. NETWORK PROMOTIONS:
The following are network promotions that hero has joined in for July. The reasons why I did not just opt into everything previously was that I wanted to wait until I knew more about the general upcoming network changes, but due to player requests we have opted into the following:

The full details of these promotions will be uploaded to our website by the end of this week:

3.1 SNG Leaderboard: 10k prizepool for top 25 network players & 2k for top 5 SNG streaks * please note the leaderboard charts on HeroPoker now are just for HeroPoker only and not for the network. This will be adjusted.

3.2 Tourney King: Combined 20k prizepool for top 250 high stakes ($20 + buy-in) tourney players and top 250 low stakes (less than $19.99 buy-in) players. Basically a coupon will be automatically issued for special freeroll tournament with your chip stack based on your points: the tournament will be the second Sunday of the next month.

3.3 100 Seats to the 100k Promotion: Earn 250 VIP points from Sunday morning to Saturday at 15:00 each week to qualify for a tournament on Saturday 15:00 (server time). The top 100 will win a $109 coupon for the Sunday $100k Guarantee at 15:00.




4. GENERAL CEO THOUGHTS
Well, WSOP is now in full swing, and I'd like to take a moment to apologize to everyone as my response time has decreased. While I'm still keeping up with emails etc, I've been a bit distracted with travel between Macau and Korea (which I had held off for the birth of my second son) as well as getting caught in a typhoon for a day or so. I have 2 new hires this week that I'm starting with their training this week in Macau, so they will start to take off the administrative load. So major developments are:

4.1 Very super cool merchandise like you wouldn't believe...now they won't come in all at once, but I'm hand picking each item, design etc, so it should be uber amazing and basically the policy is: if you reach a certain level and you want it, it's fee. You'll just need to pay for the delivery charge and that's it!

4.2 So you'll note the freeroll PLO sitngo, this is a SnG freeroll. So I think its a bit of unique approach, but I really believe that while Europe loves Omaha, this will start to gain a lot more popularity in North American in the next couple of years. The issue with PLO is that you're basically starting from scratch again and anyone who says, PLO is like NLH but with 2 extra cards, is either really ignorant or wants you to sit down so they can take all your cash. Now the the thing with a SnG freeroll is that I have no idea how this is going to work out in practice; so this may get tweeked immediately, but again, I wanted to put something out there that would even be appealing to a high limit NL player who just hasn't made a move towards PLO.

4.3 The micro limit guarantee tournaments, well lets just take it as a trial first, but I've noted about the 'freeze out' format, but I think without guarantees it just wouldn't work at all. So two $30 guarantees with a 0.33 buy in; they are both at the same time, so you can multi-table the micros or just take on one, but I was hesitant to simply add more at the moment.

4.4 It is 4:30 am June 30th here and I was actually listening to QuadJacks for the last few hours as the industry reels again from the news regarding suspension of the ftp license. Now I'm feeling like hero is being pushed into this position of Noah's Ark, but it is such a wrong way of thinking. I've been pushed into an apologetic position for issues arising from things out of my direct control. Every moment of new instability creates a rush of anxiety, and the effect of the network's rapid growth is still being resolved.

It is something I've been struggling with for the last couple of week, whereby I've realized that I simply can't wait for things to become stable or smooth. Rather I need to press ahead and define hero poker now because I have players who are use to so much more and have been forced to settle for much less. And I've been focused structural issues and felt, a bit powerless at times, sharing in my own player's frustrations. I've written a very personal blog entry to that end yesterday, which I'll post up later.

But my point is that, I know hero needs to do heaps better and for a while I got caught up in just acting like every other site. But what happens when Merge does get a full handle on the growth, is hero then suddenly going to be providing a service at the level of stars or ftp, even if we have a great client and the the rest of that jazz? And it was a wake up call, when I realized that, no, still hero isn't providing a service that is truly a boutique stand alone service.

We can only define that with the support of our players, at the end, are we just just flash in the pan and the best option of whats left? Or, will hero be forged out of this instability and define a truly great service. Transparency, access, its just not enough when players are forced to settle for less without a true value exchange. hero may never be as great as stars, or ftp at its best day, but that ain't to say that hero can't stand among the giants and fight the good fight.

Bottom line is, we are thankful for each of our players and we know, you guys deserve better than this.

So here, I'm throwing down the gauntlet, and I'm going to say it, 'Hero isn't afraid to run with the greats' and let's take it from there.

Best Regards,
David Jung
Hero Poker CEO


Cliffs:
-freeroll hand history should be fixed
-Triumvirate $100- blinds reduced from 8 to 7 mins.
-Added $30 Micro stakes full tourney structures
-Added $5 continuous Omaha SnG freerolls for US/CAN only
-Add full existing Network promotions (SnG Leaderboard, Tourney King, 100 Seats for 100k Guarantee)

-CEO General Thoughts: A bit disappointed that I got caught up and was waiting on things that I had little wisdom to realize that I could not change; was waiting for further stability but I was wrong. It's the time to press forward and really define what real value hero gives to players who have been forced to settle for less. It's time to run with the giants and fight the good fight.




HERO POKER CEO’s JUNE 2011 PLAYER’S UPDATE

3. GENERAL CEO THOUGHTS
Moving forward, I’ve decided to write these monthly updates as the CEO. While I have no need to do monthly revenue calls or issue public investor updates and take calls with analysts, I do feel that as a young company that each and everyone of our players is like a shareholder for the future of this company. In many respects I think that analogy does hold true simply because the way poker is set up as a communal game as well as the direct issues of player balances and liquidity. That being said, the main focus of these monthly updates will be to give clarification on promotions and market activity as well as my own rational for doing so. Of course I welcome all feedback from our players, but the object of this Player’s Update is more for reporting purposes than an open discussion as there will be areas where due to the competitive nature of the industry I will not be able to comment or invite further analysis on.

Tournament FreeRoll Promotions:
Apologies for the late update and due to feed back, these tournaments are now all synchronized at 55min past the hour. There are a few criteria that I have when making these promotions:
For Freeroll type promotions I want to engage players who enjoy player poker more than anything else. Also, I want the prize to also be worth something. Now for the most part, these types of promotions will make freeroll scavengers quite annoyed, but I feel for the poker enthusiast, it gives them an additional option to practice and enjoy during their regular game play.
So, what I’d like to do is, every couple of months, introduce a new daily promotion and tweak the existing ones. Why I like daily regular promotions is that I want our players to know that any day they feel like it, these online events will be there for them.
To that end you’ll find that in order to achieve this I’ve:
1. capped max player numbers, limited registration period
2. increased normal starting chip size, and
3. created unique payout structures

Engaging Canada:
We will gently being promoting to Canada throughout the summer. In some ways with Stars and FTP focusing internationally and specifically on Europe, our tournament schedule becomes the biggest advantage we have. That being said, bringing value to Canadian players is very difficult because it is very much a pre-Black Friday situation where Hero compared to Stars/FTP is quite mismatched on a client side. But Hero does benefit from all the payment solution options in Canada and as the Sunday 100k continues to overlay each week, we feel that that is obvious EV. Also the two daily promotions are now open to Canadian players.

VIP System:
I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that the VIP system structure is fine, but I will be more exact in the ranges of return. Meaning that I’m going to tweak the rake back equivalent percentages and be as transparent as I can about why and where. There are basically 3 aspects that create the total value of the system: a. each tournament ticket per level, b. divisional class instant cash and c. divisional class play through bonus. Essentially I have guidelines from the new Merge standard VIP system to work with and I think it is very generous at the top level, so I will adjust accordingly over the week. Keep in mind that many of these things could be instantly done, if, I wasn’t also constrained by internal network policies, of course, Merge has been more than reasonable and flexible etc, and I in turn wish to respect the policies in place; so some further creative thinking needs to be put in place. But this has been long overdue, my hesitation was in considering to re do the entire system, but I feel the initial founding principles are still valid, except that they need to be scaled up for more of a mature market.

Concluding Thoughts:
The players on Hero probably represent the highest degree of diversity of player types as we were not focused on attracting grinders. While we do have some high volume players, these players are more attracted to the fact they can email the CEO for mental reassurance that things are fine rather than being in a situation where they are locked out from support with no communication. I think at any time we could run a rake race, but at this point, I’d rather allocate that monthly capital to looking at new markets. Again, players may fundamentally question, why should Hero do this, of course it is good for the network, but why Hero. And I say, for us our value/equity is in the long term and what name we make for ourselves now. As with any network effect business model, once a certain level of growth or development is established, it creates its own ongoing value (virtuous circle: basically good will, will in turn, breed good will). June-August are traditionally the slower months of our industry, but it is also a good chance for Hero to really set the framework for the last quarter of 2011 and for the entirety of 2012. Unfortunately, there are no plans in place to re-enter into the American market, that being said, our focus will always be on increasing service to our existing members while growing in that context.

On behalf of Hero Poker and our Pros: Gavin, Terrence, James, Daniel, David & Julian. We wish you the best of luck at WSOP and an enjoyable start to the summer.

Best Regards,
David Jung
Hero Poker CEO


Cliffs:
-daily promotion breaks synchronized
-new one added: MTT Hero, top 9 get $11 each
-Open to now Canadian players
-CEO general thoughts: just approaching things as if players were shareholders and will do monthly reporting on that end to keep players in the loop from a promotional stand point




15 days of Hero Poker

Posted May 17, 2011 at 12:22 PM
Day 1 & 2
It’s been a whirlwind of 15 days of Hero Poker which all started on May 1, the day my second son was born. Before we decided to start our real marketing, as a company we decided to do a something for US poker players who just wanted some cash. So we put up 15k in a kind of private freeroll with no withdraw restrictions and tried to get out there to ‘regs’ who simply stopped enjoying or wanted to play poker. So, a player could use the cash for rent or get a ticket to Canada or whatever, we just wanted to get that money out there. Basically the prize payout was just to top 30 and had a good structure and we gave it out via PMs in LP and P5s, the two communities that Hero was active with, but we were finding that we weren’t getting any sign ups for it as players weren’t passing on the details (surprise). So we ended up making 2 threads about in and sent some volunteers to let 2p2ers know about it (which ended up being considered spam and one of our volunteers got banned- totally our fault and stupidity). But the password had to be gained via email me directly, which was totally fine. The issue was that at 3am on May 1st in Korea, my wife went into labour.

Now Korea is about 11 hours difference from the US, so 3am on May 1st was like 4pm in the US, so here I was on my iphone emailing back players with the password and then my iphone died. By about 7 am I had my iphone back and was emailing between my wife’s contractions and finally put down my phone when the contractions got to about 10 minutes apart. At 9:33 am my second son was born healthy and I ended up doing all the registration and stayed with my wife until 10 pm and then drove home and started with the emails and work (btw I have never had a formal office in the last 5 years because of travel and the nature of the 24 hour work day) and by 5am had started the tournament to about 340 runners. By 11am the tournament was over and it was good. We set up that tournament to set the direction of what kind of company we wanted to have, and we wanted to do something that helped in whatever small way. By 12pm I had taken a shower and drove back to the hospital to look after things and host visitors (it’s a Korean thing) as she had a room in the hospital and by about 4pm after 36 hours up I passed out for about 6 hours.

Days 3, 4, 5
This gave me a moment to think of what kind of promotion did we want to kick off and immediately I thought of the 300 Spartans, that I wanted to have our own 300 promotion where we’d pay out the top 300. Now, the reason why it was $100 plus $100 cash bonus was because anything less than $100 was, in my experience, pretty meaningless, in that we wanted players to just try out the site and also if players wanted to just withdraw it, they could. Now for players how wanted to keep playing there was this additional $100 cash bonus that had a play through on it. Now in retrospect, I should have maybe done something other than cash bonus because on Hero, it’s going to take players a long time to clear it, even if they have 3 months (but I had to set the bonus at what the network guideline are due to the pending June 1st deadline for falling in line with network policy). So it was the 30k plus 30k freeroll. I actually discussed with my country marketing managers and they said, it was good this way. I didn’t want to make it 60k cause that would have just been marketing bullshit and that was the thing we were most trying to avoid.

Thing is, when I looked at the competitive space, I realized that promoting via PR or bonuses was useless, simply that player had lost so much confidence that this wasn’t the time to come in with some type of marketing message, rather, just being as up front as possible. So in many respects, yes, we branded this promotion, but most of all, we just wanted to say, ‘hey we don’t need your deposit or aren’t going to promise you the world here, but if you’re free on a Sunday, why not give us a shot.’ And with the top 300 getting paid out the $100 plus $100, it was a pretty no risk thing for players to look into. But it really helped that Stars had started to give out the payout to US players and had announced it late April. It gave us confidence to proceed as it was just a really difficult situation to be in to really promote a relatively new site (having launched at the Aussie Millions in Feb 2011)..

When I was doing my Masters in business, my strategy professor, who had his Phd from Harvard Business School was this really nice pudgy harmless looking guy, but when he spoke about business, it was always, ‘you have to corner the competition, crush em into the grown, cut their legs, make a beach head here or destroy them…’ and I’ve always approach the competition that way as well, I see the imagery, but when I looked at the market, all I saw was darkness. There weren’t actually any competitors, but there was really nothing, and I was like, ‘gee, I was not trained for this’ and the only thing that I could think of was to just be as out there as possible. No senior executive would ever post on these forums for their life of their career or jobs, it’s just plain suicide cause if you just tow the party line, they you’re a dead duck and will be ridiculed to no end, but if you show who is behind the curtains, you might be shooting yourself in the foot. But in this case, anything less than me as the CEO going out simply just being as forthright as possible was just a waste of time for everyone. And there were two places I knew that if I was going to get people to take Hero as a real option, it would be there: TwoplusTwo and DonkDown. But in no circumstance would I have ever thought to engage these two communities after only a few months after launching, but I was committed at that point.

Day 6 & 7 Twoplustwo
I had actually gotten the go head to post by twoplustwo and donkdown a couple of days earlier, but honestly I was nervous and so I ended up posting the promotion up on LP and P5s first because I was already known there. But on day 6, I took about three hours to compose my first post and went for it, just being a forthright as possible. But within just 4 posts, I had been called out on the fact that we had spammed week before (and again it wasn’t right, so I had apologized and it was graciously accepted) and I got hit with the questions that no senior executive in this industry would ever answer or could…and it was the moment of truth.

Sure I had answer these types of questions previously at P5s or LP, but the difference is that we were active on those sites before Black Friday, so the questions came as the situation developed, but here I was facing some brutally tough questions that were easily answered among private industry people, but out on a public forum of poker players..?... So I remember, looking up at the ceiling and thinking, ‘ok Dave, this is time to man up and get at it, you knew this was what you were getting in to,’ and then I continued to stare at the ceiling a bit longer and then went at it and took the plunge. But I’ve been lucky. Thing is, most players, and I don’t care if you’re team pro whatever, they just don’t have the same level of understanding of what is really going on because they view it from a players point of view. But the thing is with twoplustwo, there is just so much knowledge amassed here that members actually have a really good outline of how things really work, even if they don’t know the exact details. So while it has been very difficult, it has been also very productive because I’ve gotten some really focused business questions (which I do enjoy) and they have allowed me to also have this dialogue and further articulate what was on my mind. It’s as though I’m back at PwC in a really hardcore strategy meeting and we’re bouncing comments off of each other and I’ve become better for it on many different levels and for two days I buried myself in twoplustwo….but in the meantime on at DonkDown…

Days, 8, 9, 10 Donkdown
The management at DD, Todd (Dandruff) & Bryan (Micon), had announced their new sponsor as Hero Poker to mixed reviews. They had done this on the 6th, but it wasn’t until the 8th did I actually have a chance to post there and it was a pretty big fail. It was a fail because I was trying to be a bit humorous, but the fact is I’m not one of those humorous guys. Also I don’t completely understand American humour, even though I love America because they liberated my country twice, once from Imperial Japan and as part of the UN force during the Korean War against those North Korean fucking commie bastards, and that in my home at least, General MacArthur is consider the perfect man created by God, but I just don’t’ get the American humour all the time. But I wanted to fit in with what DonkDown represented.

I had been listening to DonkDown for about a month previously and I thought Dandruff and Micon were spot on with their logic and conclusions and had their ear to the ground. They really were listening and were objective and simply quite sophisticated in their understanding even though they masked with a great deal of profanity, random sexual comments and general eccentricities. They were extremely raw, but no one could deny them of being direct and truthful. The first things they mentioned to me was that even though I was a sponsor and they’d take my money, that they would tell it like it is and not to expect differently. And I was, ‘great, exactly what I am looking for’, and I think they thought, ‘this guy has no idea who he just sponsored does he?’

So by the time I had started my sticky thread on Donkdown, it was already the late on the 8th (nearly a day had gone by) and there were many unanswered posts from the original introduction thread. But at that point I was taking care of 3 forums and had purposely left donkdown to the end. The way I work is pretty systematic, if I touch something I will finished it, so if I start on a particular project or task, I’ll take it as far as it can go, then move on to the next task. I’m not a multi-tasker, I prefer to simply get them all done then move on instead of juggling things where I can’t focus. But the more complex the task, I’ll leave to the end so I can just work uninterrupted on it. I call it my ‘machine mode’ where I don’t’ eat, drink or blink, but just focus and do it and for this donkdown forum I wanted to have the space to reply properly because it was very unfamiliar territory. But I left it for nearly a day as things start to build up on the other sites, and it was uber frustrating to watch as the thread went quite negative due to my lack of response, but again, I’m not the kind of guy that can jump around, so by the time I got the thread, I had a good on page of full on ‘who the fuck is this guy and what the fuck is he doing in our forum? Gtf outta here..’ And it was just as difficult as twoplustwo, but on a different level.

Donkdown’s community is very tight and very protective of one another and I still couldn’t understand the humour or nuances of the community. But they came at things with logic, but also with a lot of passion and we very direct. But of course material wise I knew what I wanted to say, but I have to tell you my professional image is very different on donkdown than anywhere else, but I tell you, I don’t feel like I’m the sponsor there lol.

Day 11 Radio
So I’m up waiting for the radio show and I won’t comment on what was on the show other than I had waited like one and half hours past my appointed time and took the call when I was driving to see my wife at hospital (she was in a post partum recovery clinic with our newborn-normal thing in Korea). But I hadn’t slept for about 24 hours and was wired on 8 cups of coffee because I wanted to be clear headed when I took the call. But I ended up missing about 20 minutes of the show before I went on, so I missed a lot of their inside jokes when then reference it to me during the call and I was like thinking, ‘damn it, I don’t get what they are saying, this American humour is killing me‘, but it was good and I did end off with why I did like DonkDown…’I know you guys have no problem biting the hand that feeds you, but if you guys bite me, I probably deserved it, so for that, I’m happy to be a sponsor with DD’. But we had this freeroll for DD members, and you know what, they were really are just a great community of ‘degenerates’ (I mean that in the best possible way) and I won’t even go into how they used the password to the freeroll for evil purposes lol.

Day 12-15
I basically became a single dad during this period with my mother-in-law helping, I basically fed my 2 year old son, steak, potato chips, candy and TV for the entire 15 days with my mother-in-law feeding him one proper meal a day. During the day, I’d take him out and make him run around for 2 hours until he was so tired I’d have to carry him in, give him a banana and water and he’d pass out. Then in order to make my son sleep I put the baby seat in the front and pulled the front seat as far back as it would go (so not to be close to the air bag-I know still not safe) and I would put down all the windows and we’d cruise in the nighttime and eat MacDonald’s take out (it isn’t that easy to find in Korea) until he would pass out after about 45mins, then I’d take him to bed and get back on the comp. Ok, I’m a pretty traditional Korean guy, and while modernity has caught up with Korea, it’s not like I know what I’m really doing, but some nights, I’d just sleep with him for about 5 hours straight just because he missed his mom so much that he’d wake up crying and missing her so much. So, I’d be sleeping beside him and then he’d cry a bit, go back to sleep and I’d check my iphone for emails, reply as much as I could then pass out again.

So finally the day of the tournament comes, and guess what, it is also the day my wife comes home from the clinic with the newborn, so I’m cleaning up the house, throwing out all the junk food and doing emails in between the time. Now why did I plan it on the same day, well I didn’t but my wife was discharged one day earlier than she expected. Wonderful; so in the last day, we get the majority of sign ups and I’m so paranoid like nuts that someone is going to get the password that shouldn’t and so I’m checking as many IPs as I can etc. And by mistake a player emails me for the password and I recognize the name, and send him the pw, but then I have this bad feeling so I double check and he is one of my non US players. So I politely tell him he can’t play in the freeroll cause it’s for US players, but he doesn’t respond, so I msg him in client, then bribe him with some tournament tickets not to tell anyone or post it anywhere. And for the next hour, look to see if the numbers spike, which thankfully they don’t. I manage to finish the tournament at 300, and then tournament keeps on going! Lol! And so everyone starts going all-in and its crazy just nuts and then what is even nuttier, some players want to play it through! So the tournament lasts another 30 mins or so. And I wish everyone well, answer as many emails/pms as I can, then go pick up my wife and newborn. I have now spend the last 2 days protecting my 2nd son from my 1st son and still giving my 1st son as much love as daddy can, so we went driving today to a late night run on Macdonalds….’

15 days & 40 hours of sleep, totally not sustainable, but I'm on the other side...

Cheers,
Dave
