almost the 10 year anniversary of blatch gate, wonder what hes up to. anyone still in contact?

My most profitable staking investment ever Cheesy

Think dubai summed it up best at the time when he said Blatch was the only person to ever make a substantial loss paper trading!

I’ve played very little since 2013 due to work and early mornings  but have returned once or twice to poker when I needed some funding ... been playing again since lockdown and having a great time of it.    Read this thread today and then spotted a DiscoDaveShallow chip lead in a 8k Gtd $10 rebuy on ipoker today - surely not is it ?   What’s Dave up to these days?

Nice one Doobs btw 👍🏻

Cheers Jim.  I had a big go at the million on Sunday too (23rd out of 16k doesn't pay as much as you'd expect). 

I have a feeling I saw Dave Shallow under his real name in a Party comp the other day, but my memory is bad and was likely multi-tabling (given I am unsure now, if he was at my table it can't have been for long).  I have seen quite a few old school names there when the real names have come on, though don't play there much.  I just checked his old crabmaki account and it has only got the odd tiny comp on it.  I would be interested in knowing what he is up to too, and if anybody has seen him on Party; he always said he didn't enjoy poker even when it was booming and he was crushing.

I know Dave Penly was mentioned a few weeks ago, and I bumped into him again in a comp a couple of days ago.  He is definitely playing quite a bit and I noticed he had a $40k score on Party a few months ago.  Also I noticed Bengt Sonnert got another big cash a few weeks ago.  Guess giving up completely is hard?  Has anyone seen Ben Grundy about?

Ahh it’s just like the good old days Smiley  ... yeah payouts are so flat these days you need those top 3 spots.      I’m playing 3 or 4 a night on ipoker  for the past two months... my sharkscope rating is highest it’s ever been  .... got a 2nd in the weekly 40k last week for 5.6k and scoring well in the nightly 12k / 8k gts on pretty much a daily basis.   Have to say I’m really enjoying it.    Just having a look at GG poker evening comps as well now.    I just need to keep it simple - I always played too much when I was playing well previously and suffered as a result ... older and wiser now 😁

no winner gives up then Wink  Last I saw was his house in Chiswick that he'd spent a small fortune on appearing somewhere.  Very nice it was too.  He must have taken some serious money out of the game for that place.

Edit.   Definitely serious money

I am back up for the year, but not doing as well.as you it seems. I defintely wouldn't overplay.  I played too much whilst SCOOP and UKOPS were on and the results just turn to shit.  It happens every time I do it, and I learn very slowly it seems.

I haven't played on GG but bounty hunters can have some pretty brutal variance on Sky.   It isn't rare that the first place gets more than double the prize money of second because 1st gets the last bounty.  Party Poker and Sky have fixed this now so first and second get about the same.   There is a $50 nlo8 bounty hunter on stars where I checked my results and I was first twice, second 5 times and third 15 times.   You weren't ever profitable doing that on the old prize distribution, but may well be ok now.

Ah, now I am not sure whether I have seen him or just read your post... My memory is going to be bloody awful in 20 years.
