Why are live poker players so rude?
i think it's true that losing a pot in a live game is much more embarassing, especially if you run out of money, or get busted from a tourney. You have to get up from the table, have everyone from the other tables look at your while you take the walk of shame down the hall and online you just get to x out the table and say F it. That being said, i dont see examples too often of people blowing up on other people live if the person who won the hand wasn't reacting to and stirring the other guy up and making him more mad. I know I tend to be a quieter player at the table and I don't instigate ...

Bob2Bob Tilt / Bob2Bob2 Stars: Backing and repayment problems
read the whole dialogue and know the situation before you make idiotic comments with no information and butt your head in and pretend you know what the hell your talking about.

Bob2Bob Tilt / Bob2Bob2 Stars: Backing and repayment problems
As I sought out more information and had the following conversation with james on skype I have come to the conclusions following this conversation: [4:03:56 PM] Thomas Braband: explain to me about the new 20k makeup number and what was the situation when u left them [4:04:26 PM] james page: well as you knew, i wanted my 12k before i left because i was due that from the beginning [4:04:47 PM] james page: so i grinded for them for approx 1-2 months including live in vegas [4:04:51 PM] james page: and btw [4:05:11 PM] james page: i never used any of their money for anyting other than poker, ...

Bob2Bob Tilt / Bob2Bob2 Stars: Backing and repayment problems
James didn't know enough about how backing situations work to question this. But how can someone make the claim that the number was just assumed when the agreement between former backer and future backer was not made known to the horse himself'

Bob2Bob Tilt / Bob2Bob2 Stars: Backing and repayment problems
Whatever the case may be, the fact is that the situation was not communicated well at all and all parties are responsible for that. That much cannot be argued. There is no assumed number of makeup as far as im concerned if the backers weren't smart enough to include the number in an official written contract.

Bob2Bob Tilt / Bob2Bob2 Stars: Backing and repayment problems
I told you not to post again in this post and I meant it. Find me one person in this thread who has respect for anything you are saying. You keep making claims that just because jdpc said james "stole" money from him, (which is a completely outlandish term to even use in this situation), you make assumptions about james' character and all of the people who have backed up what type of person he is. And yes, I have bought horses before and I made damn well sure they knew what their makeup was going to be to start out each and every time, as well as continually communicated with them where their ...

Bob2Bob Tilt / Bob2Bob2 Stars: Backing and repayment problems
The thing is, is that this wasn't an interim period like he was waiting for his old backer to get money so he could back him again. James was on his own and their deal was done. You can't sit there and tell me that the makeup number was set in stone in this situation and that it was agreed upon by all parties first. Each of the backers decided to make a deal selling his makeup without informing james of the situation and that his makeup remains the same. Why would he ever want to start a deal 33k deep in makeup when he can just play on his own makeup free' I will continue to stand by my ...

Bob2Bob Tilt / Bob2Bob2 Stars: Backing and repayment problems
I don't think any amount of time is ever enough time to make the kind of comments that you did abouut him. "You not sending people my way for backing is your choice, and it is things like that (that i am hearing from other people) that made me make this post in the first place. I mean him running around painting himself as the victim is just lol." He never once came to me with the situation and told me how he thought you were in the wrong or how he was the victim. He came to me with concern about the lack of communication after the fact, and asked me how he should handle the situation. It ...

Bob2Bob Tilt / Bob2Bob2 Stars: Backing and repayment problems
If you buy out somone (who wasn't even with the old backers anymore mind you) you better damn well make sure that it is written in the contract what number his makeup starts at, or atleast verbally agreed upon. Why was there no such number in the original deal contract and nothing talked about. That would be something pretty confusing about the situation considering he was on his own for a month before they entered the staking deal. p.s. WEC, please don't post in this thread when you are gonna call all of the people who know james and say he is a trustworthy stand up guy POS's, and calling ...

Bob2Bob Tilt / Bob2Bob2 Stars: Backing and repayment problems
I'd like to make a number of comments about this situation and about your post jdpc. I've known james for quite some time now and I currently back him. I was friends with him during this discrepancy with you and his old backer. There's a number of fallacies in your arguement as well as ludicrous facts about the situation that have nothing to do with your arguement. You have posted several peices of information in this, a public thread, about james that are not only completely irrelevant, but also violate james' personal life and business. "After two weeks with horrible results live (not one ...

Re:hand in the 23k KO
doesn't this hand or something similar with qq get posted every other day' either the post is cuz they got it in and got coolered or they folded and didnt like folding cuz ppl dont fold on the internet. it's pretty much all player dependent, like it always is. The guy could show up with 99 if hes retarded or AA always if hes not, this might be his std cbet or he might be bluffing. U cant make this decision with no info, and with no info it seems like its a spot not worth getting all your money in cuz ur not ahead often enough to make it profitable

Re:great way to start sunday (gross spot early in warmup) RESULTS
I feel like if I was a little deeper stacked or a different tourney it would be a clear fold, but there being 12-13k in the pot already and knowing that randoms in the warmup could essentially be flatting with k6s or q6s. And it being so early in the tourney, my stack + the size of the pot makes folding KQ here a potentially awful 32k mistake if I do indeed have the best hand, If I am beat, im probably ok with busting the tournament with 20 other great tournaments to play later in the day. Those were my reasons behind not folding. That being said, I got it in and the 1st raiser also had KQ ...

Re:Odd hand in FTOPS #20 with titantom32
To be honest i wasnt playing my best poker in this tourney because I had a live final table to play later in the day that I had to leave for and forgot to unreg this tourney so that was some of the reason behind my loose/ most likely bad call but I had one or 2 valid reasons for it, i planned on shoving into you if a card fell that I felt hurt your range of hands raising on the flop and I ended up hitting a straight in which I just check/called your shove. I wouldn't put too much thought into this, it wasn't my best play and I happened to suck out, sorry for ruining that event for ...
