In early 2012 The Camel began a thread entitled "Tips for tikay".
Under a year later it has been a runaway success. The second most posted on thread on blonde ever,with the fourth highest views, over 300,000.
Of course the thread principal has worked hard to make that happen. Its helped that the thread has made some money. It has also been fantastic to see so many experienced punters impart wisdom, experience and views from which people reading cannot fail to learn.
However behind the thread is a man who makes it tick, without whom the thread could not operate.
He has recorded over 900 individual bets, constructed and maintained the spreadsheets and, amusingly at times, run the front end of the thread during tikay's Vegas mid year sojourn.
That man is the elusive Mere Novice
Mere, who lives in Nottingham (I am reliably informed he lives exactly 2.03 miles from DTD), orgininally came to us from the Sky Poker forums and a more selfless altruistic man you could not find.
Very much an unsung hero, who does his work behind the scenes. I'd like to let him know, on behalf of everyone who uses that thread (which has taken off in ways no one imagined) how much his efforts are appreciated.
Cheers Mr Vice.
