This is too good to be true! Almost as great as last November when I skipped my exam preparations to rail Isil!

And btw: This would be the best thread ever if it was all a level with Tom and Stella being gimmic accounts. (But I guess Matt Savage brings a ton of credibility)

I think what the dude was getting at was a joke... i.e if you come to my party (which me made out to suck 10/20p games and all trying to dress as a park bench) then he got to go to theres. He was fishing for an invite in a jokey way and actually seemed to have got one!

Jealousy!!

Erm I was replying to Tom's post that said he didn't know what bench was. Clearly the other dude was joking lol.

This should teach Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan some sense of relative wealth. They might realise that there are people in this world that piss more money than they will ever earn..... Then there are people that drop £300M on a boat.... Nice game mind. Hope they don't get burnt playing with fire.

I didn't say 'wealth', I said 'relative wealth'. Back at the WSOP the 'poker world' was *****ting itself because they might loose 10M to durr on a prop. That kind of money doesn't worry some people.... these people.... so the locals game could turn pretty ugly if they start running bad. The 'businessmen' don't seem to give a toss either way.

Like I said, I hope they don't get burnt playing with fire.

That is all.

Word is that the guy who Durrr is playing tonight is a poker amateur but well known in the casino world and if his nickname is any indication Durrr could be in trouble...(har har har)

Somebody shop this plz

LoL at all of you dreaming of becoming Macau cash game pros. The truth is that the almost all games spread from 10-25 to 100-200HKD with killer rake and are mostly filled with Korean nits, after that there is a huge void to the big game which plays far too big for the bankrolls of 99,99% of online grinders.
There really is not much money to be made there for the average pokerplayer, much better to just grind it out online.
