Title: The essence of blonde
Post by: tikay on December 23, 2005, 12:35:06 PM
In the "Player of the Year" thread, all sorts of names are suggested, it's actually a great thread. In between the Brian Wilsons, Julian Thews & Micky Wernicks, someone - Matt the Monkey I believe - mentioned Silo, an internet poker newbie, who won his first comp last week asfter playing for just a few weeks. The blonde railbird team had turned up cheered him to the rafters, & that helped to push him across the winning line.

Here - with the authors permission - is a PM I got from Silo today.

My goodness, me and the words player of the year in the same thread!

It really did mean a lot to me and I'm still thinking about it even now   The railbird thread when I made the money really helped and encouraged me along   It was nice to know the support is there for you should you ever need it.

I wont post in the thread to say thanks because it could look a bit big headed, but needless to say I really am grateful for all the support and help the guys here have given me in my short career

Thanks again and have a merry Christmas

Graham


How nice is that?

 :goodpost:

took me a while that post on the "player of the year" thread - spent about 45 minutes looking at the screen knowing what i wanted to say but not being able to put it into words (us monkeys aren't very good like that, the saying about putting monkeys at typewriters will eventually give you the works of Shakespeare is rubbish, trust me!!).

Then in a moment of inspiration it came to me so hurridly it was typed and posted before the monkey memory forgot it. It wasnt until about a few hours later that i then thought "i hope Silo didnt mind me mentioning his name in the thread". I sent him a little PM with a copy of the thread and a little apology saying i hoped he didnt mind.

I'm glad you didnt mind Silo, have a good holiday period as well :)

(p.s. i hope that was the first of many tournament wins, i've had a little wager of £1 at odds of 1,000,000 to 1 that you'll win the WSOP main event by 2010!! ;))
