Title: Welcome to Blonde
Post by: david3103 on May 14, 2010, 11:45:25 AM
Does Blonde actually want new members? Other than as a target for this sort of thing?


So last night I venture to play at my local casino in a private game. I'm getting run over a bit (it's an uncapped £0.50/1 game and I sat with around £4344.50 to begin proceedings).

So I'm now sat with £213.50 when I receive Aspades Ks after the £2 straddle and I just limp with to disguise my hand and trap someone. I've also limped the past 23 consecutuve hands. My plan goes a little wrong as there are 4 callers behind me to the flop. It comes a jackpot  Ts Js Qs and SB bets £12. I say to the table 'Fuck this stupid game, I hate poker, let's gamble so I can get out of here' and do a Phil Hellmuth (he's my hero) style shoveling of my chips into the pot trying to look like I have something like the bare ace of spades. Everyone passes quickly and one guy exposes his hand when he folds as  2s 4s. I'm like wow how can you fold that but also pleased because someone now fold top pair as the way I've played the hand combined with my beautiful speech looks like I have the nut flush draw so with two more spades already gone, I'm gonna be quids in! It gets to the original bettor and he snap calls and quickly tables  8s 9s. I keep my poker face on and don't table my hand until the turn and river are dealt as I'm supersticious. One guy calls me a 'puffoon' but I think he's just jealous as I'm the one stacking those chips.

Later on in the night I again limped UTG with pocket 8's and mr puffoon guy who was the table shortstack with £144 got his chips in on the 8 5 2. Why did he do this you might ask? Well when the flop came out and I saw I had the absolute nuts I slammed my fist on the table as though I can't hit a flop. I think that affected his decision to move all his chips in with just middle set.

With the coolers and sick beats I was getting, I should have probably gone home with nothing. However, my speech play and acting earnt me almost £1,000.

Just sayin'.

Hi David

It's just a light hearted joke-post after a long exchange on the update thread in which many many people including myself welcomed the new member and the hand disagreements were all posted in good heart

I understand your concern, and agree that sometimes people are over-ready to jump in rather than welcome, but in this instance there is a context to the post you quote.

Cheers

I read all the posts Rich and fully understood the context in which Greekstein posted and the motivation for him to spend the time on his attempt at humour at the new member's expense.

ok, as I say I take the point an entirely. I think - and I may be wrong - that it was funny and absurd enough to be classed as satire rather than anything worse

Welcome to the world of the mod.

lol GTFO.

You choose to highlight my post in a thread where others are genuinely digging at the guy? My post made a light hearted joke of it. If anyone is offended by it then they need to stop taking themselves so seriously.

Once again, GTFO and have a nice day.

Wasn't going to say anything, but seeing as it's still going on............I agree with David.  Not just giving Cos grief though.  The whole attack on the new guy - while I understand everyone's point - was really unnecessary in a live updates thread.  Had he posted it in the PHA board, well then...'live and learn' say I to him .  

Rich is at DTD busting his arse doing those updates and could really do with everyone's support.  Badgering on about what a new guy posted isn't helping anyone.  Just my own 2 cents, but feel free to flame away.  This chick wears teflon!   rotflmfao

I suspect the post David used to highlight his point was just because it was fresh in his mind.  there has been a lot of stuff like this on blonde recently (and not just from Cos I might add).  it seemed as though we were heading back away from that sort of stuff for a while there, but sadly (imo of course - some people seem to like this stuff), it looks like it might have been short lived.

Cos, I think that although that is an enviable way to be there are times when it's better not to say anything,  just because you can expect its going to make waves. For the mods sake and particularly when Tighty is stretched doing a great update and hasn't got time to mod the boards I personally just stay schtum.

You're an intelligent bloke and know whats what.  ;D

it is difficult sometimes.  What I tend to do if something really riles me is type out my reply then go away from the computer for a few minutes before hitting 'submit' (which I don't usually do :D)

FFS - this wasn't working out as I hoped - I was really looking for a fight - it is Friday after all! 

Nice comment Cos, I've offered Tikay incentives to come back but as I'm a 22 pinter and he doesn't drink they have fallen on deaf ears..... xxxx

And here's me thinking I DID bite my lip. I could be 10x worse if I posted what I really thought all the time. Maybe I need a short time away if everyone thinks I'm really that bad!

Hey Cos, I like you a lot..but sometimes please just show discretion. You know I am up against it, no other mods around either, and you want to do comments that you know will ruffle feathers...

think...use the blonde green cos code...stop, look, think! ta


p.s i thought your post was very funny


In general as I said above we want and need to welcome new members, they are a lifeblood of this place...sometimes recently the welcomes have been far from what I would want.

I thought Cos' post was funny and well constructed. Yeah, it was clearly targetting the new guy, but then again the new guy did post that he trapped someone with KK preflop.

Having read the posts following he will find quite a few constructive posts of why this was a silly thing to say. And then Cos' post makes light of it all with a nice piece of satire.

Hopefully the new guy realises there was no malicous intent from anyone, and that this is quite a fun place to post and talk about poker.
