Monte Carlo highlights on DTDPoker.com

I'd bet against too dave if there's some way of proving it.

there isnt, I wish I hadnt said anything because Im a bit out of line being jake's finances into a silly comment like I made above

the point I was making to Jason is there is a huge portion of the poker world, making a lot more money than the hendon mob will ever see.

Yes definitely and Hendon mob as a measurement tool of skill/success is obviously ridiculous.

Strange that they showed every bustout interview from the FT except mine. Really enjoyed the footage and commentary

Maybe it was my accent.

Thought the commentary towards u was a bit harsh in some ways at points. I mean, u prob would have had the chiplead if u could learn to win a whole pot vs Elwood when way in front

Hendon mob is obv only a measure of live tourneys and all we really have to go off. I accept it ain't 100% accurate but it's a yardstick. Just as the on line table rankings are not accurate. The thing the makes me lAugh is all the self proclaimed clique who can't even go to Dtd and play in comps and crush the standard of player there. Live poker is all about winning money not about making fancy excuses a out why you went out early on day 1agAin. You ain't doing guys any favours telling em to stick at the game if it is pretty obv they ain't got a chance of surviving while they have a hole in their arses. How many people are still around from only a short while back when the likes of action jack jaffacake and dare I say it red dog were playing their on line Poker. Only 5% last the long term on poker alone.  Everyone wants to be the next trickett Cody etc but the hard facts are for each of these guys there are far more losers. Just as pha is a usefull tool on forums then so is honest life advice and giving people a reality check.Gl to all those blondes playing the monte Carlo.

There are still qiute a few of the old-uns around... both live and online , we have just learn`t to save our breath and not waste time and effort. Some still fight it out in tourneys, some grind out the cash, everyone can  find a niche IF they really want to... and are prepared to put the effort in.

i dont mind wasting my breath. i see most of these guys at dtd or ukipts and there is never any animosity.  sad fact is without getting a job most of these young guys wont still be playing the game in 5 years time. and without that element of luck/timing the game is becoming harder and harder to make a living from. the softest games i personally see now are the online sats to events like ukipts, deepstacks and dtd events. noone ever bothers to mention these as easy ways to get into live comps and then build a roll when you win multi entries. steve holden prob wont thank me but i have 3 mates for whom this is there bread and butter. as you say find a niche that suits you and your game. splashing around in everything like low stakes live to on line heads up aint gonna put food on the table for your families

But the online table ratings are faaaaaarrrrr more accurate tha HMDB. Surely u can figure out that theres a difference between a record of having played 100 tournaments in your life and 10000. U have 18 cashes on your hendon mob, just picked a random person off pocket who has 1090 cashes. this mean theyve most likely played 60 tournaments for every single tournament you have ever played (and thats even without factoring in your exceptional cash ratio). Surely you can understand why their records might be seen as a truer reflection of their ability than yours.

You cant seem to accept it because you're one of them, but the ones who win the money live are the luckiest ones im afraid. If you think you can reliably and consistently make a living from live mtts, you're just plain wrong. Before you bring up some veteran who was been playing for years and years, even they will have played nowhere near enough tournaments to determine if they are a player with positive expectation in the long run, they have just run better than everyone else.

+1. redic commentary on your general experience. You have obv put in millions of hands online and would have been in those exact spots tonnes of times, yet they are singling you out as being the one to get involved with, saying you are the least experienced.  the chops were abso horrendous!! Gutted we didn't get to see your interview. I had subtitles at the ready!

[outragous76]

I laughed when they kept calling him young Raymond norton! He is older than jack!

The commentary was poor, especially as it would have taken 30 seconds to find out who ray was!

LOL, I'm hoping that sort of indecisiveness will disappear when I get a bit more experience.
