and....

The thread you started appeared to be little more than an attempt at a slanging match, and, with this being a flame-free forum, one of the moderators decided to remove it to avoid any potential car-crashes. It was nothing personal.

your post was aggressively toned which is against the blonde ethos, your name is also annomous therefore vinni (barry neveile) was unaware of who you where and therefore had the right to be aggreived at your remarks and to save problems the post was removed

you are welcome to post on the forum but please do not post so aggresively against other members or future action would have to be taken

How about changing the subject title...

something like   "O/T - 222 word poker story"   sounds catchy  !





.

Yes, there are a lot of bad people in poker. that is fact. There are a lot of bad people in life - fact. There are a lot of bad people working in post offices - fact. etc etc. Poker is a form of gambling, yes, we know we can lose but, thanks for making my day brighter... glad i logged on now...

 >:(

Please turn your caps lock off or ask your nurse to do so..

TYVM :D

I remember a post I made somewhere around here about how none of the posts I've seen on blonde are so badly formatted as to be unreadable...

well... you can cancel that one.

You sound like you don't like poker very much, mate.  Why do you even read Blonde, if you feel that way?

What is wrong with looking at the positive areas of playing poker. It is a great game.  

In my experience of Blonde members, they are good people. It is good to have a online community which share ideas and give advice to new players in a friendly manner. In some respects, it is exactly the same as successful Pro's have done in the past. I know Howard Lederer, Dan Harrinton and Erick Siedel all discussed various aspects of poker after their games. Blonde provides the platform to be able to do this. For some of the members who only play online, this is very benificial to their game.

( When I was writing this, I had a message flash up on my screen.. something along the lines of  " There is a problem with your account, please phone Blonde.. Wayne at cashier" ). Who is Wayne?  What does that mean?  

One of two things.

1. You are experiencing hallucinations

2. Blondepokerleague want you to contact them about your account?

I contacted Blonde support.  It is a problem with the Blonde Cashier on the site.  It is a general problem .

I have to agree with you on some points ,to be fair there are some decent chaps,but there are a few pond life as well ,The problem is a lot of these guys play on the net which is a load of crap ,There does not seem to me to be a lot of skill in shoving it all in but heyo,It beats me how these guys can do all the festivals and not hit and not be skint,a festival week runs to 3to4k ,there must be alot of sore credit cards out there,I agree there can be problems at home if your off and about most weeks,I  noticed  some of the comments to your post are quite childish. The guy is entitled to his opinion

you've never removed one of my posts and i slate everyone!!!!!

i'll promise to make my first ever sober post if you promise to remove it :D

In fact at poker school yesterday Dave did indeed mention to all aspiring players to get a job and play if they don't want the financial burdens of trying to play the circuit.

Tony and Dave have never hidden, or even bent the truth as far as I am aware. However this is a poker site, not gamblers anonymous.

How is playing online a load of crap?    To be honest, I found his post abit hard to understand .   Why were the comments childish ?

Because the standard of play is dire

the only positoin play most know is none.i play live i can spot an internet player in the first 5 mins they are crap

that would be a great reason to play on-line, don't you think? Oh, unless you are one of these people that cant beat bad players but can beat good players

I have a wife and three wonderful weans. I play when they go to bed, and not every night. I don't think you are entitled to slag me off for playing poker online. It was my choice (which is a god-given right). I chose to start playing poker and I chose to join blonde.
How dare you suggest that I am somehow a bad husband and father for choosing that.

I also am now angry that I have had to explain myself to you. Please leave us alone.

Every year one wins the world series do you know why ,Because out of a field of 5000 4000 are internet players lol

blah blah blah give it a rest

Every year?

Was that to me??

4 or 5yrs

This is the funniest thread I've read in ages.

Is this the GA Room?

steeley why would i try to inflame you, i was only saying i do not rate some of  the internet players they talk the talk but can't walk the walk

Only asking, but that's fine. I know there are people who think they can play online and strut about, especially in my work. I know I am not great and I know that playing live is a TOTALLY different kettle of erm...fish

actually you seem to to saying you dont rate any of them. there are a lot of bad players online but there's plenty who can do both.

I don't think qualifying for WSOP online makes you prmarily an online player, super sats are super sats, whether you play them online or live

Maybe some people can actually win on the internet - i'm guessing you're not one of them judging by your scathing comments about internet players.


All the more reason for good players to play on there.......

EASY MONEY!!

On a serious note i must say it's good to have some  banter ,I have joined the poker league great site good graphics ,i think they will be after me lovely

I am dead money if you see me on there come get me .well done for getting your seat in the wsop. 4001 internet players lol

When you say that all people who play for a living are doomed to be piss-poor spouses and fall out with their friends etc.

Do you draw any distinction between internet and live poker?

Vandam, are you a winning Live player?     

If you look at most of the best online players. They are also good Live players.  Doesn't this make your comments about online players worthless? 

  Why do some of the most respected minds in poker ( Doyle Brunson ) say that you can gain a life times worth of poker experience in only a few months playing online, if it is so bad.   No offence, but I tend to listen to Doyle Brunson rather than you.

I said i was dead money

your my hero, can they make you a moderator.

 I did not say that every body who played for a living would be skint did i ,i suppose you have the answers by the look of you

Dead money, Live and Online?      Why make comments about online players being bad.  How can you slate people who are better than you?    Surely that is a rather odd thing to do.

sark have you any m8s if so go and bore the sh out of them

I don't think you really know what you are trying to say. Maybe you are trying to say that some people lose at poker? well, if thats the case, you are spot on sherlock!

You are one strange bloke.  Have you been drinking?   

now you'll never make hero member that way will you?  tut tut

Bitter presumably 8)

maybe he's trying to say we should all be scientologists..................................................

how much to join sir? i'll just get my check book!

please remember this is blonde dont make personal attacks remember we can debate and offer our views in a civil manner

Whats all this then? Calm down eh!
Have the past 3 (maybe 4, not sure about Varkonyi) winners of the WSOP Main-event not been internet qualifiers and players?

I think Varkonyi qualified via a live satellite rather than an online one - but perhaps someone can confirm this as I'm not sure (off the top of my head)

That russian geeser had one good week, his wife plays a better game than him, as for doyle brunson i rest my case 100yrs wins with 10/2

I think my late evening of Blonde SNGs has been hijacked by having to keep my eyes open on this board!!


Anyway back to the original post which I managed to decipher....


I realise from my travels around the circuit and recognise from meeting lots of people that poker is a compulsive activity...it attracts bad uns and good uns like most gambling related activities...horse racing is the same, so is greyhound racing.....cheats and scoundrels share events with some of the nicest people you could ever meet.

For those with a compulsive tendency the temptation is always to think "the big win may be just around the corner" and to continue with a lifestyle that may involve borrowing or neglecting things that in the long run may prove more important

However for many people this is not the case and it is therefore in my opinion dangerous to generalise and pigeonhole all poker players into the category of family neglecting skint chancers!

As for Blonde's role in the poker scene I personally do not think it glamourises poker at all...sure various blondeites have great results and the sense of community built up here is fantastic...lifelong friendships have been built up from nothing more than an online conversation that turned into thousands of conversations

But for every thread saying "well done" there is a countervailing thread where someone is going thorugh a bad run or needs support.....and there are potentially 2900 of us to help anyone in those circumstances out with support or advice

Playing on t' internet can help your live game. Winning seats in satellites instead of haemorraging away lots of large buy-ins, making money without having to spend time away from your family etc.

Playing live can help your internet game too. A greater emphasis is placed on thinking about desicions in B&M play, that and the fact that it's more fun will help nurture a passion for poker that may otherwise have run dry playing purely in front of your PC.

As with all things in life, it's about finding the correct balance.

There will be losers in poker, in fact there will be lots and lots of them. I agree with the initial poster, it does take something special to play on the circuit.

Any fool can make decent coin from the internet though, I manage ffs.

I totally agree that this is not true of every bugger.

Some buggers get back to playing at home when they can no longer afford big buy-ins without running the risk of blowing their wad. They quit with wad still intact.

I agree tightend , thats me done

excellent. Job done!  :D

jeeeezzz, tighty, your signature at the bottom of your posts. It's been annoying me since I started here. It's Wires, isn't it?

Yesssssssssssssssss sir


Wires by Athlete


fantastic song, lyrics that make me cry  :dontask:

Post of the week for me Red  rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

The only song that still makes me cry is Angels - Robbie Williams. The video was playing when my best mate of 22 yrs phoned me to tell me that his mother had lost her fight against cancer - just at the line 'I'm loving angels instead'.

Yeah but you dont play proper poker!!  ;goodvevil;

I agree ;goodvevil;

He is right, too many players play too many small-medium buyin tournaments these days where it means giving up 2 days to play a £200/£300 tournament. When its probably massively higher EV to sit indoors and play online.

just got back in ,

the original thread was aimed at me ,

anyone that didnt get to read it good

it was someone whom i know through poker who was playing a prank

it all went out of preportion .

after finding some previouse threads of his i found out who it was .

let me say this about the man in question hes a very good poker player

and i think within the next few years youll be saying how good he is

when he decides to go on the circuit youll all see

hes one of the best readers in the game ,better than lawrance in his own words

some one mentioned youve got to win plenty of tourneys to get you through

the year ,well you couldnt be more right .

last year with all tourny prize money from the circuit and sheff /notts mine was 250k

iv not played  much this year because of shortage of cash ,AND BAD BISSUNESS

im not afraid to tell people this we all have bad times ,BUT ILL BE BACK

as for playing on the net

you lot must be sad this isnt poker its a joke

when do you see  QQ VQ8  flop Q88 TURN 9 RIVER 8

and guesse what i had QQ,that pot cost me 3.5k sterling

this game on the net is a mugs game

LMAO

I think the reason you don't like the internet is because you dont have anyone to tell your bad-beat stories to. When you are playing live, you can walk up to anyone who doesn't turn away and regale them with the horrors of having a card that is certainly still in the deck coming on the river.

Although I might try this live-game lark, I am seduced by the fact that worst hands never win, and bad-beats never occur

listen weve all had bad beats , but this internet takes the biscuit

if youve never played live youve dont know a propper game

reading players ,watching for signs it keeps you on youre toes

this sends you to sleep its borring

still every one to there own

 rotflmfao

I agree with you Barry.

However, online for cash, live for a laugh. Its a winning combo

nemesis what do you find so funny

is it the fact you cant play live

flushy when you think last year no one in europe did what i did

won 6 ranking tournys ,and 2nd in another do these people think

im a mug or something ,im just saying what i think ,

nothing better than live poker

You said that playing online is a "mugs game".

That is what I found funny. Also, Totalise sarcastic post was very funny as well.

GL

I did play live in Vegas last year at the WSOP, and my experience was probably the worst poker one I have ever had.. my own thoughts are that there isn't a "proper" game, just two different beasts, and anyone that insults live or internet poker is just being unreasonable

As you say, each to their own.

As an aside, one thing you cant do (very well ) on the internet is make a read, and that certainly held my opponents in good stead when I was in a cash game in vegas, when I clearly said "fukk sake" whenever a card came on the river that I didn't enjoy. You can hide these things pretty well in cyber space ;)

Thats just Barry, evreyone is a mug!

Unless you can crush the net games on a regular basis then you are 1-10 to go skint as a UK Circuit Pro that wants to play £200 Freezeouts on a cold rainy Monday Night in Walsall. Unless you experience great short term variance then ur facing an uphill battle, where u put a lot of hours in for a shit pay packet.

i also played my first world series last year which i thought was brilliant

but then again i like playing live

i finished in the top 250

Congratulations :)up :cheers:

Barry, I dont think Nemesis post of congratulations was taking the p*ss mate.

The story about Vinny Vinh is still the funniest thing I've ever heard to this day.

What story is that? Do you have a link?

It wasn't. It was a genuine congratulations.

ok m8 sorry

Barry told me it in the queue at the airport.

I'm Barry from Sheffield, who the f**k are you?

Greatest line at a poker table ever?

Undoubtedly!

I agree, 6 events will be very hard for anyone to match.

no youve got no name you cant do that

im barry from sheffield who the f   k are you
 
i vinni ninn
