i'm shocked that this guy is an agent, and that people actually use him. who could ever possibly want to work with someone who's going to end up talking about you on the internet? i mean it's just absurd.

no it wasn't. if it was purely meant as a cautionary warning, you wouldn't have bothered to reply "no" 20 times to everyone's guess (while ignoring all the JJ guesses). and the fact that it was JJ only further proves that you had ulterior motives in breaking this news.

no one respects you as an agent, nor as a person here. you use 2p2 as a platform to inflate your already swollen ego and play the victim when people call you out for being a toolbox.

my quote from bigsoccer only proves that it is NOT the bias of 2p2 members but in fact, your own faults as a human being which draws this criticism.

i can only hope that your clients see the light before you throw them under the bus with your previous clients.

Re: FTP drops a pro

When will people believe me that Oliver is a Eurotrash gimmick?

No one can be as stupid as this Oliver Tse. It's not even subtle.

(I'm sure most people out there in the poker community know this stuff already).

Basically like a music industry agent. Except the sites are nicer. Jeez, what a prick. So to insure a crappy career where you can make LESS than what you should be, just go to the O.

Amazing.

Re: FTP drops a pro

Look, here's a serious response Oliver : professional courtesy does not only extend to your current clients. It also extends to former clients and "non-clients", i.e. people who you approach but do not come to an agreement with. It extends to everyone you interact with in a professional capacity irrespective of how that turns out. It's clear that your handling of former clients and non-clients isn't just unprofessional, it's unpleasant to the point of being vindictive. From a professional POV, I don't think you realise how many people see how you behave on 2+2 and pass that on to their friends. I personally have seen a friend talking to you and, as soon as I could, I warned him off from dealing with you. From a personal POV, I think you have massive issues with dealing with rejection and you should get some help IMO.

So, when some random goes deep in a TV tourney, what kind of deal are they offered? I'd imagine it's got an escalation clause so if they make FT, they get huge bonuses. But what is the standard deal?

most of his gossip stems from his total lack of professionalism, so saying he has a brain is giving him a little more credit than he deserves
