Marc Wright aka dean23price/railtard1 still scamming July 2012

Great thread Dewi.

Cheers Ralph, I thought so, got to thank Lewis though for his small part.

The more I think about it, the more I think you could just delete the whole thread and leave Acid's post.

The calling Kevmath a douche, Lewis is an "inferior player", "probably going to win this tournament" etc etc

Any or all deserve the same slap Acid got.


EDIT and most of all the relentless lying and bullshitting.

I dont think the "probably going to win this tournament" deserves a slap. When I read that post I just thought I wish I had that kind of confidence in my game. That sort of thinking at the table must make players play better.

The name calling and putting people down though I agree with.

dont agree with the clique thing at all

despite a fair number of posts i havent been here that long and have been welcomed by all but one member

the fact i dont no any members in real life adds to my thinking

Fwiw I think clique is possibly the wrong word although not sure how else it could be described. I love reading most of the stuff on here even though I know pretty much no one, to me the "clique" is users that know each other interacting/talking on the forum as they would in a card room or in any other social situation.

Thinking it and telling the world that you think it are two completely different things.

The feelings that there is a clique/s here certainly do not surprise me as its something that I felt as well when I first started lurking in these parts...

With so many of the active posters knowing eachother in a real life sense vs just on the forum, there is a sense of familiarity between them which can easily be misconstrued to be more than it is. The fact that some of the people play in the same games on at least a semi regular basis and can often be found travelling together to different events only adds to that.

Most newer members/poster actually expect there to be cliques because of the reputation of the forum as being a force in English poker. This being the case, the close knit family feel that most of the active posters enjoy can easily be misconstrued as cliques because that is what the newer member/poster expects to see.

Also, the fact that compared to alot/most forums there is an above average distribution of winning players also adds to the feel of cliques because this alone can give a very different feeling to the new/er member who doesn't want to look stupid (yeah I fail obv) to the more well known players who post here.

To me, joining and starting to feel my way around this forum is a bit like moving from a secondary school to a upmarket private school as a kid (no I didnt do that)... Firstly your a bit unsure of yourself and everyone there knows eathother and go back many years, then you start making a few conversations here and there and while your still not sure of the lay of the land you start realising that you may be able to find your own little niche and then finally you join the rugby team, get stuck into the scrum and realise that thats been your place the entire time...

Maybe a little rambly etc but just my ...

I know I said the thread was a bad idea (still think it is/was) however it seems to have worked so the proof is in the pudding and providing lewis gets those £'s in his bank then everyone is a winner and we can all be happy that an acceptable resolution has been reached, without it even getting that messy

[mouth]

So its in the interest of poker and Marc Wright we need someone to slap Marc Wright

 so we need a slapper ?

does anyone know any slappers?

Hey der..

 




Acidmouse: excellent post.

Think is really good point...  I'm not a frequent poster but there have been times I've wanted to post but been unsure of myself due the 'regs' that are having the conversation, I think I probably do sub conciously have a 'well they know what they're talking about' attitude.  Its no different to other walks of life where you have groups of people that have strong personalities and are confident in the subject  they discussing though - until you pipe up and add something of value then you never going to be involved really

I've never thought of blonde being cliquey tbh... The times I have chirped in, I dont remember being slammed or ignored even if 've been 'corrected'

There are two camps.. People who don't stake him and those that do/have.

For obvious reasons one camp can see future potential for a big score at whatever costs to others/him.

The others with no monetary interest can freely express what everyone thinks.

Shame on some people though, really tarnished themselves for the sake of $$.

I know this is a shit example but its about as good as I can put it being a thicko. When I was 16 I left school and went to work for British Gas, in those days it was still old school. First port of call for the morning was go to the pub, play darts, go see a few 'women', do a job in the morning (fit a gas fire etc) have dinner, do a job in the afternoon then go home early. It was a real cool job, an apprenticeship of life. Most of the men were sound as a pound but down to earth, they would tell you a spades a spade (it was in York so its expected).

I was unbelievably naive but very cocky, I would run down people I thought were not as clever or as cool as me, taking the piss out of anything, generally being a little above my station (or position as apprentice). I continued to act this way for a good 6 months, it must have rattled some of the older guys around the place but I was by now close with the cool chaps so I didn't realise I was doing anything wrong. On a normal dinner time we went to play snooker at the BG depot, most of the blokes were there eating, smoking, just chilling. I was playing doubles against someone and I said a snide comment about him missing and being shit.  Before I knew it the geezer dropped me, in front of about 20 others, the pain of being slapped didn't matter to me but the fact it happened and a few said I had had it coming. No one helped me out so I just bogged off home and sulked.

The next day I didn't want to go in and face the music but I did. My friend who I sometimes worked with (he was in his mid 30's) came over and chatted to me, he told me that he knew this might happen some day, but it was an important part of growing up, learning a life lesson. He told me a was un liked by a fair few old guard workers, I was stunned and deeply upset I thought I was literally walking on water and nothing could bring me down. He went over things I could work on and learning to treat everyone differently and with the respect they deserved.  I have to say those few weeks after this were some of the hardest in my life, realising I knew absolutely nothing, just because I was billy big bollocks at a few things it literally meant nothing to your average Jo Bloggs unless I acted in a manner of an apprentice and a young pleasent adult. I am so glad I got told what type of person I was before it festered on in my life past my teens.

I have seen so many young poker players who have a disillusioned prospective on life due to the fact they have never had the 'eureka' moment I was lucky to have at 16. I lol so hard when they perceive they have 'the lot' when in reality they have nothing I would want. Sure money is great but without respect for it and the game it is literally worthless. (I am not saying Marc is all of this, I can only judge him on his posts on blonde) But he really really needs a guardian imo, someone to check fold his attitude, that even after everyone has said hes wrong he posts saying he was right.

(ducks for flames) 

 

This is possibly my favourite ever blonde post.
