I've said it before on one of these threads that publicly criticising someone's play serves only one purpose imho.

Self-aggrandizement.

Congrats to Frankie Knight for making the final, guy is a true legend, at 72 he still plays every night and some afternoons too.
I doubt anyone in the uk has played more live tournys than Frankie who is known to play upto 3 a day whilst in vegas lol
Living Legend

He's shit though
Dont be disrespectful

Ok I'll rephrase.

Frankie is a lovely old fellow, with a remarkable ability to put in such a huge live volume. One must thoroughly commend his ability to donate his hard earned in 3 tournaments a day.

Unfortunately however, his play is tez.

If you end up with half the respect Frankie has u'll be allright.

I won't be alright if I play that bad though.

I was sat on his table twice and once next to him. Not saying he's not a gent, just saying he plays horrible.

Is it really necessary to slag off a 72 year old without provocation, whom you believe to be a nice guy, following a post where someone is commending his zest for life?

Did you go into the Bobby Robson thread and pipe in with 'yeah but I bet he was wank at break dancing'?

Rubbish analogy. It was his zest for poker that was being applauded anyway.

My language was certainly not appropriate as I was reading following a horrible beat but if Bobby Robson was a bad manager I would have said 'I didn't rate the guy at all but RIP'.

FML, I just wrote out a really long, intelligent, tank-esque reply and somehow managed to lose the lot, so here is the short version:

Bollocks, Im right, leave the poor bloke alone etc

If I could retract the way I went about saying it, I would have as I was in a foul mood at the time. For that I apologise.

However, this is a thread about the £300 tournament of which I was on Frankie's table for quite a while. Calling raises 20bbs deep with J7 off is not my idea of good play and whilst he's a gentleman, he's a bad player. I'm perfectly entitled to say that.


Sigh.... Just sigh.
+1
Frankie = top bloke imo

I've always though Frankie was a nice fella. Don't know why anyone would think he wasn't.

Actually your post has taken me a little off tilt Mantis. Normally you write three hundred thousand words when five will do but the above post sufficed.

I think it's wrong to publicly state that someone is "Shit" (whether they are or not is beside the point)

Frankie is an old guy who won't be on here to defend himself. (What ever happened to respect?)

Saying "I was in a bad mood" or "I had a bad beat" is no excuse, and just makes it worse imho.

I don't want an argument Cos, I like you and I think you are a decent bloke. I just think you were out of order.

Fair enough Tom. I did agree and apologise for what I said before. Just irritating that people keep chiming in when it should have just been left alone now.

What about people who publicly state that someone's posts are too long? That's well out of order as well.

Cos isn't the first person to say someone is shit at poker on Blonde, and won't be the last.

Unfair how he has been singled out here imo.

Like wild lions chasing the poor little deer... Not very nice to see.

I've changed my opinion now though. Everyone is awesome at poker. The older they get the better they are in my opinion too.
