Hi

I'm working with PP on the show and he is happy to have the bet if JD wants to have one, obv doesn't need to be for 10k, 1k perhaps? Loser donates to charity?

Flushy will you be a guest on the show next week?

Also i don't believe PP is the slightest bit offended by what has been posted here, please don't kill the debate! lol

Is that the real Pat Spillane?

My guess would be that he's Paul Spillane and not Pat.  But that's just a guess, mind.

Ya i highly doubted that the legendary Pat Spillane would be posting on Blonde Poker!...No offence to Blonde Poker of course

We even have people post on here who are famous outside of their own country!

P.S Paul, I love you more. Grey hair does it for me. Rates bumped up accordingly.

That offer was only for you Tikay due to your bulk order. Don't go offering it to everyone!

how about JD and PP both do an hour long training vid sitting at the same table. anything else will have loads of variance but with this you can tell a lot from a persons thoughts, about how good a player he is.

would need to be 6 max cash for many reasons imo, and I would suggest full stack play at say 2/4

you can record it on trial versions of camtasia and Eddie would maybe put them up on his site?

Playing poker optimally or close to optimally is incredibly rare in poker. I would have thought no more than 1% of all players ever play anywhere near optimally for any period of time. Anytime most players feel that they are playing close optimally they are almost certainly just running good. Almost all of the players that do play close to optimally will be top internet professionals. Blonde has some of these players for example Flushy, Moorman and Pab, none of them would claim to play optimally all of the time. I am sure that they play optimally for a higher percentage of the time than for practical purposes every pre internet live circuit professional.

Discussion of the topic of optimal play wasn't my intention when I posted on this thread; knowing Alex well as I do was just joining in the banter that I felt had been incorrectly labelled as 'ill mannered vitriol'. Accurately conveying the intended mood when posting in a forum isn't always easy and I got it wrong again. Being respectful and polite to people within a poker context and outside of the poker environment is something that is hugely important to me.

I see no reason why the old pro vs internet whizz should ever be anything other a good natured debate. Like all good subjects for debate both sides are sure there is plenty of merit in their side of the discussion.
