Send a pic in heels mate, I'll rate you v other female poker players  

I was referring to their reaction to the stance, and position she has taken over the situation.

I don't know her myself, but I'm pretty sure that Vicky has been pretty successful for a long time, and long before 'she got her wealthy husband'

I'd imagine the financial downside is pretty large, as EPTs aren't cheap!

You stick with the ladyboys

I like you don't know the real situation either, I was just deliberately offering another viewpoint as there was a lot of backslapping going on, but cba getting into a lengthy discussion about it.

Just sometimes, it's possible that the person deserves the plaudits

Yeah wp to her for binking a minted husband 














That's a joke before anyone gets their knickers in a twist lol. 

Well you basically made the same "point" earlier in the thread when you patently weren't joking.

How anyone can possibly question Victoria's motives for doing this is beyond me.

There was literally zero chance Pokerstars axed her.

And she is refusing (I guess) hundreds of thousands of pounds by terminating her contract.

BECAUSE SHE THINKS IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

People who question her are judging her by their own moral standards, which obviously are not too high.

I didn't think it possible for me to hold Victoria in higher esteem than I already did. But she just manged it.

Is it possible that the new direction that Stars are going in could have also been in conflict to her BBC work?  

For instance I don't know of any BBC football pundits that have deals with gambling firms, but I can name many from the other channels that do.

Huge respect still either way. Think we all saw the emotion she had in San Remo, and after many years with Stars it can't have been easy to come to this decision.

And unlike many well known players from the past few years, you can just tell that the lack of sponsorship won't stop her playing.  Will be interesting to see how Stars choose to cover things should she ever run deep in an EPT again!

Robbie Savage has a deal with William Hill (BBC football pundit point)

Anyway, I agree with Keith. Can't see how motives can be questioned here

Ah right, my mistake.  And yes I think that her own personal thoughts to table games are by far the prevailing factor here!

Well I was being deliberately controversial when I posted, simply because nobody else had been so why not lol? I think you are probably right, but maybe.......just maybe she doesn't need poker too much nowadays and as Scotty says maybe there is conflicts of interest in the direction of her life, I dunno.

Either way, great move for her, she has little to lose and it's great PR for her as shown by most of the comments supporting her here.

So can I assume that those that back Vicky will never play on stars again? Seems like the right thing to do morally?

She never said that of course.

And I doubt I'm betraying a confidence to reveal she loves to play blackjack and pai gow.

But she doesn't want to endorse or promote gambling on house games because she knows what harm it can do it if people become addicted to it.

If she was a skint member I doubt she'd terminate this contract. But if she was a skint member I also doubt she would be on Team Pokerstars in the first place!

It really isn't that difficult to understand.

Unlike you not to be cynical! Well done.

There are some real crazy posts ITT, but huge respect to her, never gets the recognition she deserves, and IMO, it is a very humble thing to do.

Without her, Fatimo, and Sammy G, the shark cage wouldn't have worked like it did. Stars have lost the plot in terms of driving there poker force forward... Yes we will all still play there but I don't think anyone should be slating the people that can't control themselves on the casino side games, it's a LONG WAY DOWN.

Wouldn't say there are that many crazy posts, Dreenie... In fact, I'd say there are very few, and it was only Woodsey, with his very best troll outfit on that was making them

Ok fair enough, but come on fella, would you rather we all agreed with each other on here and smuggly slapped each other's backs like sheep? or would it be more interesting It we heard an alternative view to have a chat about?

My view is Blonde is a bit boring sometimes, moreso recently, so someone lobbing the odd hand grenade into a discussion is a good thing on occasion imo. Yeah it was me this time but it could be anyone really.
