Big Bad Dog V Ariston-Donk Live heads up best of 9!

ahhh - the old ringer trick !!!

yup definite details needed as for a start we are a private members club and will need to make you members 48 hours prior to the game

nah he has agreed 2 play...ive never told him who iam,,,he wanted the game and the dog will play.

he wants 2 shout insults fine by me...

Oh I was just gonna back old ari for 200/340.

But I aint if I dont know who he is playing.

Will you be wearing a mask ?

i aint bothered who i play lol. wouldve been nice to beat u ben but if you want to bring in a so called ringer i dont care. Whoever u get ive played and beat better in live challenges so u go see who u can find who would scare me lol

as long as the money is there then we got a match. i know its you and so do others on the forum but run scared if you want and bring in whoever u like.

Didn't Cucumber challenge Punterz to a 10k match a while back, but his @rse went and it never happened?

I have a horrible feeling Russ will end sat opposite Punterz for this challenge! ;-)

just to make it perfectly clear i will not play punterz. i know big bad dog isnt him by the way he types and he wouldve already said other things if it was him. I know who big bad dog is even if he wont admit it and i want to play him. if he wants to put in a mate though i aint bothered.

i will play anyone barring punterz. bad blood between us and tbh i think he is the only one who would beat me.

:) lol

A Phantom of the Opera mask and a voice changer. Briliant.

Big Bad Dog you appear to be pretty fking pathetic :)

best bit was clearly the fact that carl was going to stitch him up with a**dealer lol.

hes not even lost yet and hes already making excuses :p

sorry he wont lose obviously as he clearly isnt going to show up. I do look forward to playing whoever he sends in his place pretending to be the big bad dog. all i can think is all bark and no bite as he cant even admit who he is and is now desperately trying to find someone to play in his place. I hope whoever he gets to stand in realises how much of a cnut everyone thinks he is. Its a long time to sit playing poker with every single person in the room thinking your a complete and utter numpty

incidently ive quit playing today having already won the buyin (6th day in the last 7 ive covered the buyin actually seeing as im running hot at the minute ...other day i did lose $240 though :( ).

how are the $10 stts treating u lagar? you going to have to put some volume in to cover your buyin kid

Its a long time to sit playing poker with every single person in the room thinking your a complete and utter numpty

lol good old dangero hk friend..old betfair......club ok....no problems...ariston trying his bullying boy tactics praying i dont come...

tony g plays for him (nap) :)

Looks like a grt publicity stunt from the club. Big up the marketing department should pull a good crowd.

Can we have details soon carl of exact dates, buyins, what is exactly going on, so i can see if its worth the six hours of traffic jams from Newmarket.

He sure is a weird one. I had a look at all my old hand histories and chedcked sharkscope and I don't think I have ever played cucumber. Yet he follows me round and comments on my play. I kind of get why somebody I have badbeated, or knocked out on the bubble, might follow me round, but this makes no sense.

Stalk someone famous ffs.

1k plus 100 game on...cant wait....nailed jo hachem for 3k 2day..so buy in paid for gn

doob u may know him better as blackday or traceyuk - the blackday account was quite well known on bf :-)

says the guy who makes 60k.from cameras a year!
u got alot to say for yourself these days,,,,,,,,on morals and life..

so it is you black - I knew eventually you would say it was you without actually saying it :-) I do not have an oppinion on life me as you well know :-)

he is a ret ard who like arboy wouldnt admit who he was to ss pot

Rarely have I actually LOL'd at a thread but this is priceless.

wow hes taken joe hachem for 3k today. didnt realise joe dropped to $10 stts and u beat him 300-0. well done ben

Big Bag Dog, last week you said I played poker backwards! The only backward c u n t here is you.

Calling Ariston a 'tole' was the equivalent of using Cucumber1 headed notepaper imo.

http://f-badger.blogspot.com/2008/02/draw-line.html

i was reading an intresting article and i realised it wasnt just me what thought ariston was a bu@@ **ting immidating c@@@.

i particualrly like this as it seems to sum you up and your attitude..

and i quote

ARISTON YOU FAT DOLLOP OF COMMON MUCK!
you are nothing in the poker world your Betfair article was comedy in the unintentional way.
you have never won anything of any merit and i would bet heavily that you are down overall in poker.
you log on to the poker forum to try and grasp some semblance of glamour and excitement - 2 things i suspect have eluded you so far in the run-down mineshaft that you live in.
you are a northern ogre who looked like a monkey on C4 moaning about some bad beat in the booth provided. horrible accent too.have a shave and buy a treadmill

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ getting really boring, i,m new to this ** site but might actually come and watch this at Duffs.

can i get a price on this not taking place this side of easter ?

IF HE DOESN'T SHOW ARI I'LL DO U FOR A FEW "FUN" HU GAMES FOR SLIGHTLY LOWER STAKES

AS DUFFS WILL TELL U I'M UNBEATEN HU V HIM AT HIS CLUB 17 - NIL CURRENTLY

MIND U DUFFS IS FAIRLY USELESS AT POKER

DID I EVER TELL U ABOUT WHEN I DID HIM 23 NIL PLAYING PLO HU

HE CRIED LIKE A BABY

LOOOOOL

like the big bad dog wont show

of course hes going to turn up. he is so confident he wont even admit his real name- thats how much of a man the big bad dog is.

I know its embarassing to be you ben- but you should never try and hide who you really are. be a man and give your name kid- at least people may have a small ammount of respect for you then and belive you are going to show. as long as you keep hiding behind your keyboard why should anyone believe you are going to show??

no need to be embarassed I sacked you- ive had to let many players go from on here- difference is there are no hard feelings between any of the other players as they know its business. they arent childish and stalk from the safety of their keyboards and then wont even admit their name.

you challenged kanga to a 10k match and then bottled it so why should any of us believe you are going to turn up to play me?

this is waht people think of u....apart from a few members of the betfaie FREEbie club wear u all licked arse 2 ether.

ok so now you want to bring others into the argument? I have had an off with him yeh and that one led to a company wanting us to play heads up for TV and they were going to add some money. he didnt turn up to the next event though or we both couldve made some money out of it.

still nice of you to keep hiding from the real issue- you are Ben Linguard and you have been a petty stalker for over a year on here because I fired you twice. You wont admit you are him and will try to find someone else to play me but I know its you ben- if anyone else shows up I may not even bother playing... doubt u will pots the money with carl middle of february anyway so then we will see what a wimp you are.

If you are adamant you arent Ben and wont give your name then post your initals or let everyone know what a pathetic keyboard warrior you are and sorry boys there will be no game because he wont dare show. I was going to put up his stats from yesterday when he won 3k of Joe Hachem but his current alias is Lager8 and he plays $10 games on betfair. his sharkscope stats seem to be disabled for some reason though (wonder why that is???? ).

ok no more abuse truce has been called via msn.

game is definately on

buyin to be posted with carl by 20th feb

russ v ben it is :)

msn log obviously saved in case he tries to backtrack and claim its not him again or birng in a "ringer"

ARISTON RUNNING SCARED,

Contacts me on msn to itemmidate me....why does he need to contact me....let his poker do the talking.........seems that guy who wrote above he really is a prize bully c@@@....

Steaming he opens with..
ussell cawley says:
keep pushing it ben and showing how fkin pathetic u are
we will bump into each other one day if u ever step out from behind your screen
u bottle in and keep abusing me and the chat logs from when i sacked you go on the forum
and you were pretty pathetic
ben says:
what u on about u nutter
russell cawley says:
dont even try to deny it
had it cofirmed from 5 different sources
so behave - im giving u one warning then blocking u again
it carries on the chatlogs go on the forum ok
mr big bad dog

ariston bluffing to get you to admit who u were. worked didnt it? post the rest of the chatlog if u want were u admit who u are and bost about your 47k winnings on stars etc

and at least now its been confirmed that ben lingaurd is the big bad dog.... even though several times he denied it on various threads.

explains why he has abused me for so long on the forum anyway


no worries poker will do the talking if you dare to show. you cant send someone else in your place now can you????

Vintage thread, keep up the good work folks.

Arison u get abuse as u r s@@@@ person and c@@ at poker..and as this a poker forum...is no suprise

i got what i wanted. we all now know who the big bad dog is and why he abuses me. lets see if he posts his buyin with carl by the 20th feb as agreed

then at least when he doesnt show i can use his grand to buy everyone drinks.

heres what i think will happen though- he will continue to abuse from behind his keyboard like the sad little sacked boy he is and wont dare show his face. everyone on here knows me and knows i will show now they know who you are as well so we are level. they also know why you have so much anger and venom towards me- i sacked you twice and you couldnt even follow rules on $200 a day loooool.

I could go back to all the posts where you deny being ben linguard but plenty saw those anyway. fact you confirmed it on msn with just a slight bit of bluffing/provocation shows how easy you are to manipulate. gonna be the easiest grand Ive ever won this. I will be quite embarassed if i only win 5-1 as i really do expect a nice easy 5-0 :)

u have no hope man

Gold thread

Ariston - it's unfair to take advantage of the mentally impaired. - shame on you! I think it's obvious that this guy is not all there.

I googled Blackday as I recall playing him in the past and getting abuse.

I assume this is his blog?
http://cucumber1andblackday99.blogspot.com/

more about you Blackday! Did you say you slowrolled Ariston?
http://betting.betfair.com/poker/bloggers/slow-rolling-on-the-poker-forums-130608.html

Black - you need help as you are a sad individual!

ahh ariston with his mates alias again....

get all the tramps in you like...all the betfair freebie old boys...threaten me on msn......try and lower the stakes...yes he tried that x3....
i still say this article sums u up best

http://cucumber1andblackday99.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-i-think-of-ariston-and-geoff-cc-on.html

Embarrassing drivel. I would take the whole lot down if I were you, makes you look like a complete**. Not that anyone reading this thread did not know it already.

Roll up roll up......better than being some mug threatening people try and get out of a game

first ive seen of that blog. guy really is delusional lol.

in any job there is a heirachy unless you work for yourself or are the big boss yourself. you cant tell your boss or your bosses boss that you know best and you wont follow the rules without expecting to get fired.

Shows how long he has held a grudge as well. borderline bunny boiler and god help any girlfriend who ever dumps him.

cant even come up with his own abuse even now- has to dig up an old battle with someone else which was settled a long time ago.

Ive outed you as a pathetic individual and not everyone on here is "my mate" who posts they think your a numpty. youve made it very easy for people to work that out for themselves.

Im sure plenty of people hate me but they dont spend half their life abusing me on a forum because they actually have lifes of their own. Ive got the night off poker tonight and have quite enjoyed a bit of banter and actually getting you to admit who you are. I look forward to taking your money although I really doubt you will either post the money or show up.... im looking forward to reading your excuse for everyone though..**dealers maybe??? heads up rematch with joe hachem arranged for that day maybe???? who knows.

Shows how long he has held a grudge as well. borderline bunny boiler and god help any girlfriend who ever dumps him.

at least i can h@@@ on without viag@@

and just on the forum so everyone is clear

i russ cawley (ariston) look forward to playing ben linguard (blackday/cucumber/lager8) over 9 games heads up for the agreed buyin of £1000 + £100 for the dealer/club.The money is to be posted with carl by the 20th february. I wont be backing out or looking for excuses. I am going to hit you so hard and so fast you will think your surrounded kid

Hi Cucumber. I played you a lot on the $1 chip n chairs, last year, so I know you are a great player. Gl in this challenge.

no rules are set yet--the only thing i agree with is the date and the buy in

here we go goalposts are about to be moved i feel

just back out kid and save yourself some face.

we said on the other thread we would post the buyin with carl so you couldnt back out. Im not driving all that way with a grand in my pocket for you not to show up

yer i will....but not on a date u choose

Hi Cucumber. I played you a lot on the $1 chip n chairs, last year, so I know you are a great player. Gl in this challenge.


Quality - Ariston v Blackday best of 9 chip n chair. I think that's what he is aiming for.

hi Cucumber....your good friend AllinG sends his regards

what rules do you want setting dog ?
obviously cash has to be posted as i have the game to promote and organise and its not fair on anyone travelling for you not to show
at least if the cash is sent then there is some commitment from you

Can't wait! Getting the T-Shirts printed as we speak!

Coops flying in from Paris

i will send a a reasonable deposit if u need assurances... and i want to sort out the clock and blinds ty........
ari DONK has my email if u need me.

well the deposit is the full buy in im afraid to stop no shows a previously agreed
as for clocks and blinds - thats sort of my job but both players will be consulted so it suits

happy to let you and ben deal with clock and blinds carl. as long as its poker i dont mind (min of say 20 bbs to start each game).

as for "reasonable" deposit where are them goalposts again? oh there they are, not where we left them though are they??

i challenge him to game he says he wants best of 9 i agree. he finally admits who he is after some msn fun. he wants to sort the clock and blinds i have said fine. he was afraid of a dealer stitch up so ive said he could chose the dealer. can anyone else see who really wants this game to take place and who is looking for any excuse to get out of it ???? he keeps saying im running scared loooool.

tell you what ben i will go back on what we previously agreed if carl is ok with it then i am happy to leave carl with any other excuse you may come up with because this is getting boring now. £500 as a deposit by say 20th feb so least when u dont show thats £200 for the dealer who wont be used and £300 behind the bar for the boys. now please stop looking for ways out- your mouth has got you into this mess so lets just play and be done with it.

I will be there and i will Conquour. good morning

thats all u need to know

You mean conker (obv)

Conkers---is a game or an event...Ariston could have some success from..

With that shiney nut head

im not ben you must be mistaken
you are getting me mixed up with someone else
blah blah blah

we post buyin with carl to ensure we turn up. next minute u will post a deposit lol.


then we are meant to believe you going to show up???? keep mocking because i sacked you ben then dont show up and everyone who hasnt already worked it out will know what a tool you are.

cant wait to see the excuse for no showing its gonna be a great one

This is from the man said shal we make it one thousand bucks or five hundred quid on msn! Comes on abusing me,,,,,,,,,running scared..


Facts are I will play the game.......just not going to have one 1k tiedup for 4 weeks!9even at todays intrest rate) But i will make a deposit to show good intention.....

money required please unless very good deposit , not really on doing all the talking, then me setting everything up and getting in staff in and putting other games on for people travelling etc for you to not bother turning up

nah 2 ask for it 3 weeks b4 is not necessary

least give ari donk a way out!

a fortnight before is good for me , it gives me time to sort out the staff rotas

well if u got a good faith deposit u can pay themm that!

there is more than that to consider , for example i think a few people will be wanting to watch this so that means more people at the club , hence we would order extra supplies and also put a game on for the spectators to play in and edvertise that on the site,in the club and elsewhere
so i arent going to all that trouble and expecting people to travel if you are only intending paying a token deposit then not turning up and dissapearing into cyber space
Payment no later that 2 weeks prior to game is required and anyone bottling it forfiets the game and payment goes to his oppo
shouldent be a problem if you are genuine

Im not being funny but im not going 2 waste a few hundred depositing not to turn up..may as well BURN my money.

I got the feeling im going to be tried to be assinated before the game! lol

lol what a surprise

1.01 landed

and im not being funny but if you are 100% turning up to play then there is no problem pre paying by a fortnight is there

if you went to see a football match/concert/book a holiday you would expect to pay up front so i cant see why this is any differrent

its totally differnt its a private heads up challenge which are kind enough to put up--its nothing like a holiday bookin

thats why its differrent , i have explained it as best i can and in fairness dropped it down from a month to 2 weeks so if you are genuine then i would expect you to honour it
your opponent doesent seem to have the same concerns

but u know ariston! big difference

All you are doing is buying yourself a few more weeks so you can pretend your a big man when we both know you aint gonna turn up. Im happy to pay carl the buyin 2 weeks in advance if thats what hes asked. if hes going to be "tournament director" on this game then I will go by whatever he decides.

ive made every concession you've asked for (best of 9 games/ u can set stacks and clock as long as its poker not flips/ 1k each etc) now enough flirting are you gonna pay carl the buyin or not? ive had enough playing with a nomark now- i wanna f*ck you not romance you ben

Is this some kind of scheme...to stop the game?

why would it stop the game? ive offered to post the buyin with carl to make sure i turn up

why dont you want to post the buyin?

then we can play then i will be there

or maybe u are saying carl and duffs legal poker club are going to steal your money? 2 of the most respected members on here who have been here since year dot are going to nick your grand maybe?

Not at all...see u turn twister.....u doing everything you can to get this game off in sly way u can//just as on the net.....It wont work I will be there I will deposit 300quid for good faith.,........game on.......

If cant do it there I will plau you somewera else

ive given every concession to you but i aint going on the off chance you show your face. it was suggested by carl and ive agreed to it- you want to use it to cancel the game then thats fine.

you post the buyin as previously agreed with carl or theres no game.... simple.

no doubt u will claim this is me trying to get out of the game but everyone on here can see the truth. u dont want to pay the money to carl because you either havent got it or you arent intending to turn up. if carl puts on food/extra drinks etc and has dealers in that arent needed then its out of order so he asked for the buyin to be posted with him 2 weeks early and i have agreed. I dont want any more crap from you now its time to put up or shut up you gutless keyboard warrior.

If i wasnt going to turn up I wouldnt put down 300 quid u n@@@@

ok u posted as i typed- £300 deposit is fine by me if its fine by u carl.

will that cover any costs u may incur when he doesnt show up?

im happy to say when he doesnt show with the balance whatever is left from the £300 when u have paid the dealers etc goes behind the bar for the boys if thats fair enough

IM notcalling the game off...just not accepting terms and conditions as they are..big difeernce

i would rather have posted the 1100 but im fine with a 300 deposit if thats ok with u carl?

jeez 600pounds from 2 palyers playing for 2k is more than enough to get a heads up match on ..geee,,,,,,,,2 weeks in advance

This is getting boring now - why don't you just play it online and be done with it.

he wanted to play me live because i am such a donk so i agreed. live is more of a test of a players heads up skills and gives him no chance whatsover so i am happy to oblige.

i wont play a best of 9 game heads up match online for a grand, he wanted a live game so he got it.

this is great

Ariston
if Ariston loses slightly embarassed
if Ariston wins all good

Blackday/Cuc1 etc etc
if Blackday loses he looks like a tw@t
if Blackday no shows he looks like a tw@t
if Blackday wins still looks like a tw@t

If Ariston loses---- his mug
backers lose antah 1k

Current prof and lost -£110,263.45

Ariston is use to losing will moan about bad beats again---how unlucky iam.............blah blah...so ive got a job again.....

the reason u have a norml job as u tried and failed at poker......u are a nobody in the game...who gives it out for years/////

Big Bad Dog Profit and loss

plus 94,363.13

So-
If Ariston wins -109,263.45
loses -111.263.45

Spot hte difference

Answer--- he will still be a loser and dog still a winner
