BBC programme on poker / money

[AdamM]

fire in the hole

Ironsides views overlap, but don't exactly match mine. I feel BBC news (if not the organisation as a whole) has a right of centre bias and their reporting of the war, far from being neutral as it should be was a danger to not only the morall of troups in action, troups and reservists waiting to go and the family and friends of those serving, but also added to the growing tension at home between various political, social and ethnic groups.

I get very wound up when the media claims it is simply presenting the facts without accepting any responsibilty for how their presentation of those facts effect the subject being covered.

It's truly fascinating. Good buds like Adam & Ironsuide & me, with huge respct for each other, but with diametrically opposed views.

But I don't think THIS thread in particular sits comfortably in blonde, & I hope it now peters out.

Peace to all is my dream.

"...the tikay 12th..." Niow that I DO take offence to. It's usually 11th.....

[Ironside]

so anyone else blown a huge stack in a super sat like that?

[tikay]

You mean apart from Ariston?

[Colchester Kev]

I must just add that Ironsides post on page 1 of this thread is the most passionate, well written post he has ever made ... and for the record.. one that i agree 100% with  TOP MAN

I actually find some people's views on this thread incredibly frightening.

I won't say anymore because I'll get angry.

Back on topic I have had an email from the guy as well. If anyone is interested it's copied below -


Dear Steve,
I'm a researcher with the Money Programme at the BBC and we're looking at the phenomenon of online poker for a programme at the moment. I'm contacting you in the hope that you might be able to put me in touch with any players you know with interesting stories to tell about playing poker online.
We're specifically looking to find anyone who's either considering playing online poker for the first time, or who has only recently taken it up. Do you know anyone who has done particularly well online or perhaps someone who used to play regularly but doesn't anymore? We're keen to speak to anyone who plays both live and online poker who can talk about the different disciplines they demand.
If you can think of anyone who might be interested, please could you forward me a contact telephone number for them, or alternatively, would you ask them to call me in the office on 0208 752 5412 as soon as possible before we start filming shortly. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions. I hope you can help.
Kind regards,
Phil Kemp

I've had to today, the poker gods have been cruel:

Flopped Nut Flush, Out to Full House on the river
Flopped Nut Straight, Out runner, runner flush on the river.
AQ on Qxx flop, 9 on the river gives Matey Boy's Q9 two pair and knocks me out.

We have signed Mickey Owen today though!

And thats good news?

[tikay]

I accept the responsibilitry for "lighting this fire", & get double points deducted for then saying lets not discuss it here". I'm sorry.

[Ironside]

so lets see this is the tv poker, politic and football thread all we need is lap dancers and we have a complete set

personally i think the tabloids give lap dancers a bad name

[TightEnd]

do they? hadn't noticed.....


One of the players at Luton owns a lapdancing club in Milton Keynes.

If you ever make it down to Luton Iron, we'll sort you out some complimentaries.

Complimentary tickets, that is

[Ironside]

just bring the dancers to the casino saves alot of hassle
