On the live update thread

I should have researched the specific instances recently before I did it, but I didn't expect it to go as it did


 

Seems quite a fun loveable character.

Frost vs Nixon that was not by the way Rich, well, it was, Ade was Frost though.  ;D

yeah, I was the one being interrogated.....

lol, interesting interview :)

I've played Ade before, and yes of course he is a dick and full of himself, but he's also very entertaining. The game needs more players like him imo.

Interesting statement about poker etiquette

Seems like a very intelligent guy. I have no idea who this guy is, though did read a little about his exploits at the GUKPT.

Personally, I have a massive thing about etiquette. I think that derives from me as a person and my upbringings and the sports I partake in outside of poker. I come from a golfing family and as many will know, etiquette pretty much makes golf the game it is. This transfers to poker for myself, as I'm sure it will others.

However, it is interesting to hear someone elses view on the subject who obviously has very different backgrounds. Ade seems like an intelligent man that uses his intelligence to try and argue down people that disagree with his personal opinion. The main part of the interview i disagree'd with is here he tries to separate personal insults (insulting ones family etc), from rub downs and such. How do these differ? You call someone ugly, your insulting them personally. You insult someones play, your insulting their intelligence and skill. Surely these are pretty similar?

Just my take on things. Could type more but cba as I'm on my phone. It is very interesting to hear the opinion of the other side of the fence however. I do love playing with this style of player, as they create a good atmosphere, and it's always nice to catch them. (I'm the sort of person that will sit there and bide my time, not changing my game to cater for them. I'll take pleasure when I do occasionally catch them).

Footnotes:
TL;dr
Mainly rambling

Quite impressed that you managed to type all of that out from your phone.

Ty, read it back after posting and realised how awful it is :D. Ah well

emotional, neurotic beginners. chompy to a tee imo :)

Not awful really.  Granted, when I first read it I thought, "Ade's intelligent?!  The guy's a feckin eejit!"  But then I read your post again and thought about it some more.  I suppose in a way he's really quite intelligent because he knows how to change or twist topics to suit him.  Everyone uses their smarts in different ways.  He's just not using his for much good.

Can we have another please.

He comes across as a hypocritical prick.
I don't think he comes across as intelligent at all, just the sort who could start an argument with himself

I've played with him a few times, and don't mind his banter, but he's very intimidating for new players which is bad in my opinion.    I think he's successful outside of poker and comes across as intelligent when I have met him.

*pacific instants

I stopped when he started kissing himself

Despite having been on the receiving end of an Ade rant and witnessing him do it to many other players, I still like him.

"in the well with Adebayo Odetoyinbo" 1 mfkin time pls?

what a complete tosser kissing himself

Doesn't seem real.  Its like its a spoof interview and he's playing the ignorant, hypocritical tosser to perfection.

I don't think he's ever said or done anything to suggest intelligence or talent, he's just a thoroughly unpleasant person to be around and a reason not to play poker at any venue he's at.

That's the thing.  He's perfected the art of tilting people and he knows the effect he has on them.  He carries on just within the limits to avoid official trouble and that (in a warped way) is what makes him a certain type of intelligent.  He's the sly type.  Not the book smart type for sure and definitely an unpleasant person towards most.  He's the fool that's no fool.

selfish is the word that springs to mind to describe this guy.  he doesn't seem to give a hoot about how his actions spoil the atmosphere for other people who are trying to enjoy a game of poker, as long as he's winning their chips and those people aren't his friends.  Very ego-centric.  It's no crime, but it's quite sad to see someone being so proud of being that way. 

I feel sorry for him purely for the fact he must be an orphan; no Mother could be proud of the way he conducts himself imo.

fwiw I was on his table for about half an hour at the deepstack last weekend and he didn't say a word. I think buzzharvey was there for longer but he didn't seem to be playing up at all.

Having said that I played with him in luton and he was being a bit of a dick there so I dunno. Just let him get on with it I guess if he wants to make a fool of himself.

Perfect readz laxie. And if he can't tilt them, he'll angle shoot. And if neither is gonna work he'll sit there quietly. Or find an old bloke to argue with in the gents.

That'll be me, then.

he gave a pretty epic rubdown at one point, he check jammed the river and his oppo tank called on 99x22 board, when the guy made the call Ade said "nice call" before he flipped over k9 for pretty much the stone cold nuts.

obviously he was loud but he was actually quite funny at times. Although i did take great pleasure in beating him out of 5 pots thru'out the day :-)

p.s people havnt really mentioned this but hes reaaaaaally bad at poker

Ade makes grown men cry and that's really not fair

I like him, and it always makes me smile when I turn up to an event and he's there...always  hoping to get on same table so we can have some fun. Maybe it's because he was at the Gutshot when I was new to the game so it brings back good memories, maybe it's because we've always had a good rapport and I've not been on the end of any slowrolls etc but I can't help but like him

lol @You should be looking at naked women, not abusing me.

Or he'll tell a young innocent photographer for Blonde to fook off when she's over his shoulder
