Title: Richard Gryko Post by: tikay on August 22, 2015, 12:19:01 PM Richard, who has been on & off the scene for over 12 years now, won the Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC High Roller for £30,000. I was looking to write a little report about his victory elsewhere, partly because I've always been a great admirer of him, even though he does not tolerate fools like me gladly. So, I went to google, & found a remarkable blondepoker interview with Richard, which, spookily, was published 9 years - to the day - before the High Roller. It's worth reading, not only because Richard is one of a kind, but it also reminds us what an amazing interviewer Jen Mason is. Read & enjoy. http://blondepoker.com/?q=node/3656 (http://pnimg.net/w/articles/4/55d/70c5e1543a.jpg) Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: redsimon on August 22, 2015, 01:03:56 PM Richard is a top guy, remember him winning the WSOC (World Series Of Cheeseypoker) at Ali Cheesmans home game donkeys years ago.

I have many ideas about tournaments that are unconventional and that many people would consider simply wrong. Those people are welcome to continue reading Harrington on Hold'em, calculating their "M" to eight significant figures and exhibiting the same amount of independent thought as the number of tournaments they've won. If you want to read and follow instructions to the letter, go assemble some furniture.

When he gets chips, he's a nightmare. His THM shows 9 wins & runner up spots. http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=3594 Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: Simon Galloway on August 22, 2015, 05:24:30 PM I remember (sort of) his exit hand that year. First glance it looked like massive spew in a situation where you couldn't have got me to put my chips in with a shotgun pointed at me. It was last hand before dinner (or some other break) and something like AK for Jamie Gold and J3 for Richard. Or I might be thinking about a completely different hand in a different tourny in a different year. Cliffs were he was sure Gold was at it on the last hand before a break, so stuck it up him and got the bad news. I knew I'd have been out of the cardroom quicker than he was... not because I'd made the same play, but b/c I'd snap-folded pre and beat the rush for the bathroom Q.
Made me realise that even if I was sure Gold was at it, with $164K locked up and a decent stack, I din't have the stones to make the same play. Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: strak33 on October 13, 2015, 12:40:01 PM On PLO final table of WSOPE.
Hole cards up. Benjamin Pollak there aswell he is good/high stakes player. Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: tikay on October 13, 2015, 12:56:20 PM On PLO final table of WSOPE. Hole cards up. Benjamin Pollak there aswell he is good/high stakes player. Yup, watching it now. David Tuchman, who has done well for himself on TV across a range of Sports, is commentating. Not sure poker is his strongest suit, but he works very hard. http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=66172.0 Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: typhoon13 on October 13, 2015, 08:51:36 PM Well done Richard Nice One Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: Marky147 on October 13, 2015, 09:05:45 PM Very impressive performance.
Congrats! Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: kp24 on October 13, 2015, 11:33:20 PM Was surprised to see his name in the chip counts for final table as he hardly seems to play the circuit but a fantastic player when puts himself about congratulations
Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: tikay on October 14, 2015, 12:00:29 AM Congrats to Richard, he controlled that final from start to finish.

I understand trying to get post count up and I have been trying to post more rather than just read but if we had new members being brought in (or old members back posting) by something like this surely that would be loads better rather than relying on a few people's post counts going through the roof. Would it be possible to get tighty if he had the time to do it or failing that encourage someone like Jen Mason (who has the experience etc to do a good interview) to help blonde out by doing this maybe with a live MTT buy in or 2 sent her way by DTD. Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: TightEnd on October 14, 2015, 12:46:24 PM every 2-3 days is not feasible
organising poker players (to be on time for an interview or even turn up on skype etc, answering questions by email etc) is like herding cats. its far easier to do when you are at an event, see them face to face and sit down with them. unfortunately im not at many events. i'll see what i can do though, once my current issues pass. Title: Re: Richard Gryko Post by: tikay on October 14, 2015, 02:08:48 PM I'll get this debate - from Patrick's post onwards - moved across to the "blonde Stats" thread in The Lounge, & try to respond to a few of the posts & suggestions tomorrow or Friday, as I don't have the time today. In the interim, if Patrick (or anyone else) who knows many of the online Big Boys (most of us don't) wants to do a few Interviews, we'll certainly promote them.
