Nice, I knew there had to be some big games around.

I live in Melbourne, Tim, your future fellow Pom, lives in Brisbane.

Thanks for the reply. $AU to pounds isn't so much of an issue as we don't have any sites here. All our play is on the usual suspects which are all $US.

Hi.  A friend of mine is considering moving to the UK, probably London for about 6 months. He currently plays for a living, mixed game and PLO, PLO8 tourneys online and several juicy live cash games to keep him alive. He is concerned about trying to do the same in the UK re converting $US winnings online to pounds and also finding soft games to consistently win at in London. Can anyone who plays for a living give us a run down on casinos and the large home game scene in the area? Also, anyone know how much you need to cash out online to have a decent living BR in the UK? Especially from a foreigners pov if you guys are out there!

Cheers.

Banjo Lady, you are skating upon ice which is exceedingly thin......

But I think she'd be able to outrun a yak on ice, no matter how thin...

I think He took pictures of himself holding up a sign saying Hi Tori (a mod at PTP). Hence he used his identity as a WSOP bracelet winner to steal money from people

By the way I am not here to flame the site, I intend to use this site properly - mainly for info etc on live tourney play in the uk

ROOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!

That you ducky?

anyone want to stake me on stars?

BEGGAR!! Ban imo.

Heh. I thought I detected a modicum of grumpiness in my PM's with ironside...

yeah i was grumpy

getting home from casino early without a visit to the "karaoke" to find myself the only mod online (apart from those updating the EPT) to see the forum being spammed at 4am, having to find out where the claims were coming from (thank u google) and unable to post blondes side of the story as 1) no blonde mod admin can act alone and 2) PTP wouldnt activate my account 3) i dont know the full story of brian and elblondies fall out apart from what was freely available on blonde


i do hope that allthough i was grumpy i was still civil dispite my lack of speeeeling and tryping skills

Yah you were fine once you realised I hadn't started a thread...

Misguided Americans... I am an Australian my funny speaking friend...

O'rly

I like Austrailians most people from there are nice and even the people who live near you such as the Hungarians and the Germans

You should see me do a black diamond run on a kangaroo!

Good to see other Americans joining the forum

Welcome to you CXF us Tommy Tanks have to stick together against the Listerines.

Heh. I thought I detected a modicum of grumpiness in my PM's with ironside...

think you might find he is an ex convict from the colonies

polite so might have been decended from a guard

Lifeguard?

:snaps the speedos into place, adjusts the sunnies: SWIM BETWEEN THE BLOODY FLAGS!!!!!

If it seems to good to be true it normally is. It's a shame people invested in something that was risky, but risk is as it says - a risk. Poker has never been a sure thing and those thaty think it are are welcome to come and play at my table...

The US guys are a bit peeved, and I can understand why, but I'm still unsure as to what they hope to achieve by posting here. I'm certainly not going to contribute to a whip round. Is it getting an opportunity to be heard that makes people feel better perhaps, in the hope that the 'guilty party' doesn't get away with it scott free?

I can understand that if it's the case, but making our lives difficult by causing our forum lots of work when it's got nout to do with us is a bit rich imho.

Anyway - hope it's all been said now.   We are aware of the situation.

The point of posting here was to get a message to him. We were under the impression he was/is an active and respected member here. It has been the experience of the past that when things like this follows rollers to areas of their life/play away from PTP they will often make good.





But a whip round would be nice....

And for the benefit of cxf (see I got it right), his name is NOT "mug", it's mfi. OK?

Now, I'm worried about that yak. Tell us more, Sir. And did they smoke a kipper?

tikay = yak it

You are a yak???

So I could come on this forum you mention and claim to be "Phil Helmuth" or some named player and people would invest in me? Or am I missing something? surely you check these people out!

Not quite. You could come on and say you were whoever you are and get small stakes and build up your rep. ThePersonInQuestion said he was who he was, ran a couple of small stakes first, posted rails from the Pstars screen name "flopit20" which is his on every profile out there. It was him.
