the man, the myth.............the ORACLE



discuss...

according to the dictionary...

oracle - any person believed to indicate future action with infallible authority, from the Latin oraculum

In before Borgata reference

i'm in awe of how amazing of a poker player roy winston is.
he can be my hero baby

he is also a doctor and a pilot


he truly is the epitome of skill, class, and oracleness in the poker world

He the one who believes Nostradamus predicted the rise of Borgata?

He coached Dennis Phillips! THE Dennis Phillips! You know, the guy who doesn't realize he didn't win the ME last year.

He only coached Dennis Phillips for a brief period. Joe McGowan's been his "poker coach" for much longer than Winston did. If the first and second place finishers are going to stay under the radar, the Chip Leader is going to milk the fame for as long as he can.

<3 Roy Winston and his blogs so much. He's like what I imagine Hellmuth would've been like when he first discovered poker and wanted to be part of the club.

Also he kinda looks like Kevin Trudeau, which obviously incurs bonus points.

His Full Tilt Training Academy video is one of the funniest poker-related things I've ever seen too. Keep it up roy :>

lol i remember one of the oracle's blog posts last year that said he was "shocked" that none of the november nine had approached him for coaching before the FT


and plz everyone...this is my thread, and i have one request. do not refer to the oracle as roy. refer to the oracle as the oracle. ty.

roy winston = soulread by kenny tran, HOW SICK IS DAT

-36 k on sharkscope

Pretty lame if you ask me. The guy got third. THIRD (and he was incredibly lucky to get third given how he self-destructed early in the FT). When does a guy who who gets third ever get any attention a year later? I mean, I guess getting more burly, bearded old guys into poker is a good thing or something????

i played a 2k hose tournament with roy. he really has absolutly no idea what he is doing in ANY game. the way he talked about certain stud8 hands was beyond hilarious.

examples?

Or he showed great skill to get 3rd after taking a huge hit to his stack early on.

Since when does a player that gets 3rd get attention a year later? Uhhhhh, since they created the NOVEMBER 9! That's kinda the point. Also, he made it deep in the main event which is notable regardless of the november 9 concept.

As for Winston, I don't know him personally, but he is a physician and a pilot and it is hard for me to respect someone like that. Physicians and pilots both give off the illusion that they are wealthy when both are simply upper-middle class. One can only make a few hundred grand a year piloting a plane and honestly nobody is gonna get wealthy from either job. These guys are from a lower class and should be treated as such.

wtf you sound like a real dckhead.... gtfo


on another serious note... does anyone know how Roy became a "noted" poker authority...? Did he have a big score one time or something?

Pretty sure his cards helped a great deal.

didn't everyone's card help at some point? I wonder how 'someone' even got to the November 9 last year

Obviously cards helped everyone at some point. I think specifically they were talking about how he recovered chips after losing most of his stack to demidov in that one hand. He got queens. What do I know though, his tournament results crush mine.

Being from STL I have met Dennis Phillips a few times. He's a cool guy. Came to a charity poker tourney we had for nothing, had a great time was cool with people. He doesn't go around claiming to be the best player of all time. But who among us would turn down attention from a major tv network, or loads for sponsorship.

THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT DENNIS PHILLIPS, ITS ABOUT THE BEST POKER MIND OF OUR GENERATION...ROY THE ORACLE WINSTON.


TY AND GNIGHT

and lol at the best hustle of all time ---> winston conning phillips into getting coached by him
