blonde poker forum

Hi,

I've seen a few posts about Kallakis on the forums and I'm looking to speak to someone who played with him regularly. I want to get an insight into the type of player he was? How aggressive was he? Did he have a reputation?

He is often portrayed as a pretty decent player - is this true?

I work for a TV production company and this information would be very helpful for a documentary series we are currently producing.

Cheers,

Leo

I played with him two or three times in biggish buyin tournaments.

In short he was a terrible player.

Weak passive and a complete tell box.

The only success he had was in the made for tv tournaments where he had a couple of accomplices chip dumping or soft playing him.

Think tikay knew him quite well

Barbara Dickson and Elaine Paige knew him so well!

I knew him very well indeed, but not as well as I thought.......

Most of my time spent with him was not on the poker table though, except in private games where we played £1k SNG's on hs yacht in Monte Carlo and while cruising round the Greek islands. He took me to Annabels, too, which was a dreadful place, posh peeps and loud music.

Quite a story awaits the telling.

I've been to annabels! Was sat adjacent to Paul McKenna and tamara beckwith. It just struck me as an expensive members club where wealthy people to go not get pestered! But a very bad night out!

Still there are always ways to improve bad nights out in posh places  ;D

I played with him a couple of times, never found him or heard anyone describe him as good or aggressive. Other stories not for broadcast!

Seven years in jail for that lifestyle mmm maybe lol ;carlocitrone;

they are both only 46 ?????    :o

what happenend his travel partner robert

I thought this as well.  Given they looked the same 10 years ago they have run fucking bad looks wise no matter how much cash they have made illegally. 

Robert played the Sky Poker UKPC 6 Max.

Being unattractive is a significant advantage in prison I would say. Every cloud and all that.

I know someone very well who played quite a lot with him in big games.

He was a very very poor poker payer by accounts, but then if I'd pinched 750milly from the bank I'd be a terrible player too.

Pot kettle black

wtf is this supposed to mean?  There is only one person on this forum who knew me ten years ago so if you think i am just an ugly fecker just say it!  i feel honoured to have been involved in your 10th post in 2 years! Feel free to reveal yourself and your own super model looks! Someone just said to me 'it must be your gf's dad he is from close to Catford'

He was pretty generous, played pretty bad but had some good one liners. Told us that he was good friends with Prince Albert, but most people that played with him knew he was on a dodge....

I'm assuming OP Leo1234 was more likely making a legal document on him rather than a documentary, looking at the date of original thread.
