Title: My position
Post by: TonyG on October 17, 2005, 10:53:25 AM
At least I am in a much better mood today.

Thank you all for your support, I hope that you guys understand that I do not have that much time  since I am running Pokernews & Pokerchamps.com. I know many people in the business and wanted to be part of this community since I felt I could bring in value to all blondites, my job is to make this site much bigger and to create better products like better live updates which my development team is working on. I am not sure how much time I can spare here but I can see that in general I have over 2/3 support on this forum so I will have to dedicate more time to make sure that anything I do for you guys goes better next time.

A lot of questions have been raised  about my interest in certain things I do for blonde, like how much do I get per player that I bring to Titanpoker via blonde?

I would like everybody to understand that any revenue we get for promoting poker rooms will always go to blondepoker bank account and will be spent  on improving blondepoker. In the future there could be profits & they will be distributed amongst the shareholders. I hope that everyone can live with that and help make this the greatest community in the world, UK is just the start I want our site to be the biggest forum in the world. Some of you would like this so stay small & there can be a way to do this by allowing only certain memerbs to enter some sections based on how long they have been a member etc. In anything we should do I will consult everyone with each step that is taken.

As a newbie to blonde, I can only comment for myself - but i applaud you.

You are honest, upfront and seem to care.

Lets make this site huge.

tony im glad you are in a better mood today. i understand you may have been given a bit a stick (or it was pushed at you because you are in the know) about the titan event. i think you have more than 2/3 support from blondites, i do support you and have confidence in you to make blonde bigger and better. *g *g *g *g *g

i can only echo what's been said, i'm with ya!!
i think you misunderstood the feeling on here, we all feel that this is OUR forum due mainly to Tikay and the community spirit we've created between ourselves.
As such we are very protective of blonde and only meant well, nothing personally was meant against you, you just happened to be the only one who knew what was going on and as you were away none of the threads could be nipped in the bud.
Glad you are here, keep up the good work!
Ian

I won that one that was world speed poker, but I lost my heads up yesterday in the Pacificpoker UK open when I got it heads up I had 450k vs 150k against a weaker player ( at least I believed that). But had no chance to win, anyhow it will beon TV soon some amazing hands came up. How would u feel if you played heads up and 25 out of 26 hands your opponent made a betterhand?

Tony,

You stated you hoped to make this place bigger and better. After a day off I today I have spent my time (constructively) checking out the competition.  All I can say from what I have seen is you have a great advantage with the people you have visit this board (see down with the lingo and everything), I have seen posts on other sites that made my skin crawl, made me angry and some that just disgusted me, as well as some awful poker advice.  We seem to have the beginings of a great community here.  I applaud what you are trying to do and agree that this site needs to embrace its growth.

I wish you all the luck, keep it friendly, and keep the communication level high.
If you feel you can guide us to world wide success then I for one will hang around to be a part of it.

Wishing you all the best.

I have a problem with doing anything via poker champs as that would be promoting my own site.  Plus I am not sure how I can host a 5k free roll there.
