what about marrakesh?

[SuuPRlim]

I'm not sure what your point is? I was asked by the guys running DTD to support them and wrote that yes, why have u reprinted it? Unlike u, I think it's great to have a choice of where to play and the more good places to play poker the better, rather than hoping they kill each other off. Thereofre if I chose to go to DTD once a year I'd like to be able to do that, and that's why I supported their application. Are u saying I need to have gone there more than twice to write that three or four years ago? Or is it like the last thread where you're not sure what you're saying, just as long as you're saying something?

As you learned the other day with your rant that ended with you arguing against yourself, Grosvenor didn't object to their licence, so all the crap you'd written about that was redundant. As was the stuff you'd written saying the only reason me and Stu had replied was coz Grosvenor sponsor us. That was redundant as it wasn't Stu at all, it was Karl Mahrenholz replying. But that doesn't seem to stop u or cause u to take anything back you've ranted on about, why let the facts get in the way. I notice u didn't go back and readress any of the points you'd glossed over as Grosvenor had a vested interest which you'd since learned was wrong. Why would u.

Arguing that black is white for the sake of it doesn't make u clever or a wind up merchant, it just makes u an argumentative chap with too much time on his hands,  just gets boring after a while. So if you could keep all that on one thread and stop spoiling the other excellent diaries it would be much appreciated. For the record tho, we all now no how many satellite seats you've won and where, who the good players are in your opinion, what your wife thinks about u being on blonde all the time, where you got your indonesian boyish good looks from etc etc so no need to tell his all again, let alone on every thread in triplicate

The problem is Jason doesn't really understand poker post 2002

i just thought that as you wanted a place " run by poker players for poker players. I have no interest in slots or table games and don't understand why poker players are currently forced to put up with them" then you support for G was laughable.
 
you are correct that G did not object but they did provide their highly experienced legal team to help out gala in their efforts to keep dtd from opening. this also back fired on the G as it resulted in a legal bill that must have been close to £1million.

as soon i get any requests to not post on their diary i will continue to do this. as of yet i have not had one.
as i have to answer fan mail daily i dont see this as happening in the near future.

 this does not affect what i think of you as a poker player and what you have done for the benefit of british poker. i am just angry at myself for not saying something to you in galway and going off after Dena instead

this aint got owt to do with poker dave. there is no doubt that G casino see DTD as a thorn in their side. Every person that sets foot inside DTD to play poker will be seen as 1 more punter that could have been in a casino. when grosvenor were the big boys and the gala tour ended there was no big out cry of support saying we need both tours and competition. now that dtd are clicking up a gear and running more monte carlos and with massive gtd prize pools this is obv good for poker. i honestly dont want to see the GUKPT tour fail but when fuck ups are being made then i aint gonna kiss arse and say alls good.

My support for G is laughable? Because I the DTD guys asked me to support them before they opened, what three or four years back (long before I had any association with Grosvenor other than a player)? You're entitled to your opinion, although as ever it's ill-educated. I'm not sure where u get the new facts about millions here, and even how experienced these legal people are, but seeing as you've been wrong about everything else, safe to say it will be taken with a pinch of salt.

Is it as laughable as launching into a tirade against a whole tour when the reason was because many months ago a td made a jokey comment (the second time) rather than tell you again that as u bagged and tagged and opened your own chips you won't be getting any more? Possibley it wasn't 100% professional to make a throwaway comment, but then the way you behaved swearing at him and threatening physical violence and finding out his home address probably wasn't the right thing to do either. Perhaps you could forget it either way?

Even if you're right about Grosvenor, what's your point? Actually, pls don't answer, as you'll just be arguning the opposite later on (in triplicate). Not sure Blonde should be publishing them tho, unless they know it to be correct. I hear they have a million pound legal team who have so little to do they're working for their rivals.

If you're angry with yourself about something from two years ago that had nothing to do with you between two people who don't know you and a problem that didn't concern you, maybe you should deal with that anger personally and sort it out for yourself rather than continually drivelling on about it (although only in duplicate do far, one more to go I'm guessing) on a public forum, just a suggestion

[cambridgealex]

Great start to your diary Jason.

lol. dont you start. i aint doing a diary

yes you are

I think it'll be a great success and i have only ever been wrong once. that was when i thought i may have been wrong but in fact i was right all along.

[Acidmouse]

but then the way you behaved swearing at him and threatening physical violence and finding out his home address probably wasn't the right thing to do either.

lol nh wp..

[smashedagain]

Can't reply tonight as am out with the wife but am getting phone calls n texts saying get on blonde. Will sort it when I get in or the morning

[MANTIS01]

If I owned a casino I would object to another casino opening. Objecting to something that's going to be bad for your business is standard. Furthermore it would be natural for Grosvenor to see dtd as a thorn in their side because they are a successful rival business. You are free to choose your response to new competition in the marketplace and Grosvenor are free to choose theirs. What usually happens is the existing business tries even harder for it's custom, raising the bar with standards and getting creative with ideas. If sufficient demand exists both businesses succeed with competing high standards and it's only the customers who benefit. I don't see a problem with any of this.

My new favourite diary

i honestly dont want to see the GUKPT tour fail but when fuck ups are being made then i aint gonna kiss arse and say alls good.

soon as dtd have more regular monte carlos and get the gukpt killed off the better. would serve em right for holding up the opening of dtd through the courts.

Can't u just sit in a room and argue with yourself as your obviously strong beliefs seem to change on a daily basis, as do the (untrue) reasons u give for them

Ps If ever anyone phones me to say get on blonde, I'm changing my phone number
