The Dean's thread
«

I've pulled it
Why?
Well frankly I'm embarrassed that people have seen fit to tear the guy apart, even after some posts were deleted earlier. I don't like it, I don't think it reflects well on blonde as a forum and I don't think the fella (or almost anyone for that matter) deserves it. You may well think the articles stink, you may well rather blonde didn't carry them - fine - but in my opinion some of the stuff on the thread was unwarranted.
Feel free to have a pop, goes with the territory, and after all the current decision to carry the articles resides with me so do so rather than pop at The Dean, but people went too far.

When someone makes unsubstantiated claims about his abilities in an attempt to take roles as a writer or a coach I think it is his fault if some people see through his whole charade and ridicule it.
His whole modus operandi is shady imo.

Thanks for the comments Tightend........I can understand why people have a pop and it does come with the territory as you say. But I think it happens on all forums to be honest not just this one. Some of my stuff on limit sometimes gets a good kicking on 2+2 by the highstakes pro's on there and David and Mason are behind that magazine. I normally swallow most of the remarks but purely to balance my strategy......I sometimes need to defend my big blind
I know that I dont post much on the forum but that is purely down to time so that may be a reason as well I dont know. It is plain as day that some people carry issues and then use the articles as a vehicle to attack, but there are alot of people both on this forum and who read this forum who perhaps dont have the skill level that some of the guys on here have and writing something that appeals to everyone isnt easy....I think I may have said that before. It is different with the 2+2 magazine because I basically know the skill level of those readers and was asked to produce something at a specfic level.
But it wont put me off.....you should see some of the attacks I get from my missus

making statements like that whilst knowing about 1% of the facts at best leads to only one possible conclusion. Do you want me to come down to your local cardroom so I can earn £5 an hour like you just so that I can "substantiate" it. Most working online pro's incomes cannot be substantiated and there are numerous valid reasons for playing incognito. But I dont play anywhere near as much as I used to but thats hardly any big secret is it judging by how much I write........but well spotted Einstein.

Hi Carl,
Please can you substantiate the following claims from your site:
"“The Dean” is the nickname for one of Europe’s most prolific poker theorists and writers.". According to who?
“The Dean’s” landmark book, “Princes of Darkness:”. Who called it a "landmark book"?
“The Dean’s” reputation has grown so significantly within the industry . According to who? Noone I know has ever heard of you, except as a poster on various forums. You're growth seem to be based on self publicity.
You can't just make these claims without sources. It makes you appear shady. Add some references and then noone will doubt you.
Kind Regards,
Keith

Not to be rude, but these magazines will print any old tosh. (I should know, I wrote for Cardplayer for about 3 years)
The content of these magazines are irrelevant. They only survive on advertising.

I wish you all the best with The System, but I found the original article more of an advert to a product you are selling more than the challenge thread I was hoping to see. Sure I'm interested in your system and following any challenge you set yourself, but I'm not interested in purchasing it. I don't recall it being mentioned originally on here that it was a sales thing (although I may have missed it) and I was disapointed to read it was rather than a potential great thread to follow.
Just my two cents
