blonde & Poker Trillion

[thetank]

Wonder if we're allowed to talk about Trillion on Punter's Lounge now - or is the guy that runs it still holding out for his money.

Best not risk it. The last time someone tried, they got insta-banned.

Which was fair enough I thought.

RobertHM was out of order posting that on punter's lounge.

Tikay and Tighty spend ~3 months agonizing over whether to go public to the blonde members. The $5k freeroll was a factor in the considerations iirc. I'm sure RobertHM was privvy to these discussions on some level, and aware of the pros and cons.

While the blonde members respected that you had a tough desicion, nobody seemed to bat an eyelid at RobertHMs behaviour on punter's lounge. Taking the desicion away from the owner like that when I believe he had the info for less than 3 months + he had his forum members $5k freeroll to consider. How would Tikay and Tighty feel if someone did some similar crap here a month into their deliberations and possibly screwing their members out of $5k + signifacantly reducing their chances of getting the £7k trade debt paid.

I just read the thread yesterday, was shocked no-one thought RobertHM was out of order, and nobody had any sympathy for the Punter's lounge man. Instead, we all nit picked the wording and mocked the explanatory post that was made.

Nobody questioned blonde's motives for keeping schtum about the situation for 3 months (fair enough, nor am I) but I do object to those who got sanctimonious at the Punter's Lounge man for supposedly neglecting a duty of care towards his members by hushing up Robert.

I honestly don't know how Robert feels he was justified in doing that. Or at least, I don't understand how he could possibly feel a ban was unwarranted for the behaviour.

Wasn't going to say anything because it all happened in the past, but if you guys are still joking about Punter's Lounge banning Robert then I feel justified in saying my little piece.

PL are only trying to protect their interest. They are taking the course of action that they think is most likely to get them their money. Their way of dealing with this is different from Blonde, but no less valid.

I made the same point in a less verbose manner some months ago.

I stand corrected. Was reductive in my use of the words no-one and everyone in the above rant.

What did Robert exactly post on PL?

What did Robert exactly post on PL?

a link to Tony's initial post on this thread "please have a look at this" etc etc

Yes, the context was that they, as a forum, had won a $5k freeroll having beaten blonde in a league format.

FWIW tank, I knew nothing other than trillion were messing about with money, I am not privy to financial issues, I am a mod for this forum. You assume far too much in your analysis.

My problem with the PL guy was that when long-standing PL members asked questions about Trillion, along the lines of 'this poker site you encouraged us to deposit on, what's the deal here - other people seem to have been screwed, is our money safe etc' he deleted their posts and declared all discussion about Trillion as forbidden.

That wasn't on.

Well - it's his forum and if he wants to throw his toys out of the pram and not play thats his option.
The forum seemed to say that, as in we are happy to talk about it but he won't let us.

On Blonde it's more of a democracy imo - or seems to be - we all muddle along as nicely as we can most of the time and every now and again we fall out, the tighty police turn up, send us on our way and off we all go again.....

Nice post Tikay

FWIW I believe Paul Ross (punters lounge owner, who people seem to be referring) as a decent, all round nice bloke as well as a businessman. I had informed the mods on PL already, before the RobertHM incident, but believe that Paul didn't get the message until after the post went up and action taken.

I have stayed out of this thread, but Tank has basically said exactly what was going around in my mind, especially as Trillion was their main sponsor at the time.

I cannot answer about the deleting of threads associated with questions about Trillion,  but for Paul to delete ANY threads there must have been a good reason at the time, and believe he made a post asking for members to bare with him, and stated on that thread that any posts regarding Trillion would be deleted, until further notice etc.

Does ayone have any more news about the Phoney UN Ambassador?

I've been scouring news sites and have seen nothing since the original story..

Has he been arrested or is he missing?

I half expected to see him at the EPT Monte Carlo.
