Interview wtih london pro Michael Piper (Wazz)

[Dale]

After getting a lot of stick for only interviewing americans so far on my blog I've finally done one with a brit. His name is Michael Piper, a PLO pro. He plays a bunch live in london including at the international and empire and he final tabled EPT San Remo.

He also has the best moustache in poker (sorry RED-DOG)

Just read the thread and WOW, the dude is coming up with a lot of excuses that many of us on blonde have seen before....

camel is on the ball again as per norm

i played with this guy and his mates at dtd 2/2 plo cash during pstars week 2/3 months ago.

they all sat well deep stacked and never put a chip in the pot. they just sat and folded for 2 hours then went to nandos and left their stacks to the annoyance of the rest of the table.

i have played a lot of plo live and there is no way he can be a pro unless he was just having a beano with his mates after binking the ept $$.

when i saw the tv ept episode i said to my wife proudly" oh look love, i played with him a couple of weeks ago".
i read that thread on 2+2 and just feel sick. I just love playing live poker and have met so many good friends playing but this kind of stuff really tilts me.
wow
proper kush that i actually posted summint

Wow, just wow at that thread on 2+2.

I hadn't read it since the massage episode which was lol ridic.

But the latest turn events is just stomach wrenching. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the remaining investors got stiffed.

When I went deep in the wsop Harrahs fcked up my wire transfer and it took a couple of weeks to sort out.

Similarly if you pay foreign cheques into a uk bank acct it often takes up to a month for them to put cash in your acct.

But to take over 4 months to pay out investors is so shady and the excuses are getting out of hand.

Well done Tommo getting paid, did you have inside info there might be trouble?

Just as Greeky says, its all starting to look very familiar. I watched Dalleroxxus interview before I saw the thread and even then I saw a few warning signs, ie. he had a very cavalier attitude to bankroll management.

I don't know the guy, but the fact he was a respected 7000+ post mod on 2+2 reaffirms why I am never going to buy a % in someone again, you just cant trust people. In this instance it seems more a case of once he got the money and realised he had sold such a big % away he didnt want to part it, rather than a premeditated grim (still no excuse though). He probably had the best intentions in the world but money does that to people, the worse thing that can happen to some people is they get rich.

I was sat at a cash table at DTD a few months back (think it was the Pokerstars thing) when this clown walked by looking like something out of a Showaddywaddy tribute band with his girlfriend. He pauses as they pass the table and points to a couple of young lads sat next to me. His girlfriend then stops as he scurries away, she then proceeds to lay into these 2 guys about money they seem to owe her boyfriend. She threatens to call police, the management and at one point I am sure she mentioned Tony Soprano. the young lads answers ranged from the money was sent to it wasn't me a big lad did it and ran away. After she left as they spoke to each other I heard the immortal lines "Railtard told me he had sent the money!!"


LOL multi level grimmaments. Poker players eh? what a stinking bunch......
