You could always get a proper email address and domain name.

I bought www.wildaboutpoker.co.uk and use richie@wildaboutpoker.co.uk

I used letsgetpersonal.co.uk and they have been very good. I get no spam what so ever.

Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo etc are notoriously bad for spam.

 

Tank, no worries, I actually do  your opinion and appreciate your honesty.

Can I ask for some hints? What sort of different perspectives do you think I should be aiming at?

 

I'll get my coat.

Someone once told Chris Moyles he had a face for radio.

  and I'd tell him to his face. 

Someone once told me I didn't have a face for poker that's why I'm so scared to play a live game and have stuck to the Internet.

Hey, there might be some cross over here.......

TV = Live
Radio = Internet.

So I wonder what Radio poker would be like??

 

There are ways to say things and I already have apologised and said that I will try to more diplomatic.

Andrew, Yes I would tell Lynsery's that she is an awful presenter. As I said IMHO I thought she was and I would tell her, but in a more diplomatic way. How will anyone know they need to improve if no one ever tells them?

She might in return tell me I'm crap at poker and she would be right!!

 

Red, yes I looked in the mirror just now and said "Hi mate, You're ugly!" I nodded my head in resignation and agreed. I aslo said, there are plenty more guys on the bolnde poker forum that would be softer on the eye.

But to compare apples with apples, I didn't say she was ugly. So I would go up to some big bloke and say "Hi mate, see that guy over there? He's softer on the eye than you."

Rookie, well spotted!!!!!!

  Tikay how could you??!!

 

Hi Tikay,

I appreciate your comments and your sentiment.

As I have said in previous posts the welcome has been great and there are some amazingly varied and really interesting and very, very amusing posts and the people all seem really nice.

Apart from that newbie Richie Wild guy! What a schmuck. I like to be on the same table when that guy sits down. I'd clean up! Who does he think he is? Anyone would think he was Wild about Poker!

Red, I didn't consider your feelings before I posted this:  http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=10054.0

 

Is there a difference?

Oh yes, of course. We can only give honest opinions as long as we are being nice to people.

 

Totalise, it's not about a presenter's experience in Poker is about their ability to present and make for better TV. (Tikay's contribution excepted) 

But perhaps as I said before I'm missing something. Maybe I'm too excitable and prefer more razzamatazz than plain old boring:

"OK so here we have flapjackcharlie making a huge raise with pocket aces. This is going to be interesting. He's up against yellowperil33 with 4 5 off suit and acefred with 7, 8 of clubs. Lets see how this develops...."
ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The other 2 folded and flapjackcharlie took the blinds!!!!

It will certainly never be more than a dip in and then straight out if PNL is on!

But then I have admitted to being a  and perhaps without PNL in my life I'll remain that way. 

Apologies to Lynsey if she has read this string and is offended. My intention was never to offend; I feel a forum is a place to give humble opinions and in future I will try to be a bit more diplomtic.

  for me.

Wow, I seem to make a habit of stirring things up, I didn't mean to at all.

It's kind of interesting that TightEnd picked up on just one of my comments.

I stated that she was awful I then qualified that by explaining that I thought Tikay was excellent and gave good advice. I then said I was was surprised that the TV company would have selected her rather than someone who wasn't as dull, who knew more and was a better presenter and softer on the eye. The softer on the eye comment was just a final note, not my main point.

I respect Tikay's comments and I'm pleased you were looked after, but she was very, very dull. Mind you I find PNL very dull and I think perhaps Tikay's right. It must be hard trying to make 4 hours of talk interesting and on most nights IMHO; they fail!

I much prefer watching the televised tournaments. I feel it's better to watch and learn from the pros rather than watching who knows who play on a STT, or cash etc.

I'm watching a great final table Full Tilt championship game with Daniel Negraneu, Ted Forrest, Connie Gowen and Kristy Gazes on 844. It 's just great to watch! I've just switched over to PNL and it's a STT and the play is just awful and the commentary little more than boring. ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

But, as I say maybe I'm on a different planet with so many of you thinking PNL is good and that the people do it well.  I must be watching something else!

    Hey, what do I know? I'm just Wild about Poker!

Richie

 

Hi Bundle,

I appreciate your message, thanks.

 

I'm watching 843 on Sky, Poker Night Replay on right now until 8pm.

Tikay is sat with a blonde lady. Who on earth is she?

IMHO she is awful. Tikay is excellent and has offered some very good advice and given his views in a very nice, straight forward manner, but she is awful!!

I cannot believe Poker Night Live would have interviewed that woman and seriously thought she would be good for the show!!!

Who is she? If it's anyone you know then I sincerely apologise but I am just giving my opinion. Why have dull presenters on like her?? There must be a whole hat load of women who would know more, be much better presenters and far softer to the eye.

Out the 2 blondes I'm watching, Tikay you win the prize!

Richie

Thanks for the warm welcome Claw!

And Tank, no worries on the corrections and thanks for your welcome too.

But, just for the record I'm am probably the biggest  here!

Richie

Hi have to say that RedDog's blog is nothing short of superb!! I really enjoyed reading the one about Siddy hiding in the hole!

And I loved the one about RedDog waiting for his train watching the old porter on the platform. Arthur Isaacs MBE. That was such a nice story and that has set me up for the day day.

Thanks RedDog.

Richie
