A profile, with a difference

[taximan007]

Now that's what you call A PROFILE. well done that man.

Who are your poker heroes?

Big names wise: Tony G, Luke Schwartz, Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Phil Galfond, Doyle Brunson, Ray Zee, David Sklansky, and Sammy Farha
Other names: Definitely Joey Knish in Rounders. Bart Hanson. Tony Tikay Kendall. Kara Scott. Joe Tall. Mark Gregorich. Pretty much anyone from the old Poker Night Live show, including Simon Trumper. I don't think he knows I admire him but I find him very serious, probably because we keep it strictly business, and him being my boss and his elevation in status makes it difficult for me to talk to him socially at staff parties, it makes me uncomfortable and I don't like that. That latter detail is true for anyone of a higher status than me though. I just don't ask any questions of people like that and I assume they have little interest in me.

I understand what you are saying here,I don't know Simon personally but I would bet he isn't that type of guy but I can see why you might think that way,  imo if people feel too important(and there are plenty) to listen to you and their juniors then they aren't worth talking to in the 1st place. The day will come when YOU are the senior person and I would think from what you say you will be the type of person to remember how you feel now and be able to make younger/junior people feel at ease in your company.

Back in 2006, a year or so into the forum's life, we started the Profiles "child"board for people to answer some questions about themselves

318 have done so since. All of them have some interesting things n them, but essentially its a quiet part of the forum that I doubt many people visit any more

Today a new member signed up. "Permanent Quandary"

"Who?" I pondered earlier as I checked his sign up details, IP etc. Just in case he was about to sell us a number plate, you understand

My question was soon answered

He created a profile, on which we learn he is Adam, a dealer at DTD. I probably know Adam by sight, but can't put a face to a name until I am next there


Anyway, his profile. Have a read of this. Including the later questions

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=57160.0

  all apply


It's reminded me, the questions haven't altered for 5 years, so that's another job for the list


If you haven't done a profile, fill one in. Always good to know more about the posters on here....

Completely shocked by this - Neil Channing has got a girlfriend?

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm glad to inspire a revitalisation!

Hi Tikay! I'm the dealer who recently told you I used to watch poker night live and I'm a huge fan of yours!

you started off well, but then you go and let yourself down

I hope the second part is true. I didn't mean to make it sound like I think he is aloof, rather I create that social gap myself. It's more of a mental block on my part, I am probably preventing myself from being social with him than the other way around which has had a knock on effect of him thinking I don't wanna be social with him.
