Calling the old school..?

Morning Dibbs

Davey Boy [:o] How are you mate?

Quality, ha ha

i still lurk

dont play much

only 3 claims to fame:

1) won a copy of SS2 while on the internet whilst on operations in Iraq in 2004/5. It never turned up, in fact all 3 promised copies didnt turn up either

2) met Dubai before he was famous, at WSOP 2004 where this overly haired slightly chubby fella offered to share a limo to the hotel with me. met him again about 3 years later at a Duffs home game, was a funny moment as we both went "didnt we meet..........."

3) staked Hawko into a MTT on stars with about 60% of my entire roll. He didnt win. I still run that good

ps, for the golferes out there, i think i added about 20-30 yards to my drive now, still shiit at poker tho

Midas, The Holy was the fat bloke to who you refer

Wheres the great mr_silent?
you missed chillindude of that list also. He's still about over on 2+2 where he has an epic thread going trying to turn $300 into 100k in a year I think he's upto around 30kish at the moment.

Chillin always had the potential to make money once he sorted his degeneracy out. [;)]

We will be staring off-topic greyhound threads next...

* starting

PokerQ: 1st ever female poster, was young once, prob not so young now, bit of a flirt.
Any kids yet?


I'm 23.

No kids.

No.FLIRTING.EVER. :)

Chilindude etc isn't really one of the old school imo. I'm on about the first bfwcop attendees mainly :)

I didn't go to the first one. Do I not count then? lol

or playing in bf since then OBV

Kirk you gimp, you were at the very first forum meet up!

When Bazza was after Mandylou

Aye, only about 9 of us then - me, you, baldy, Bazza, Wonky, Diva, Dubai. Who else? Was Farrer there then?

I wasn't actually at the first BFWCOP though lol. Think JimmyB won it though IIRC :)

I remember having about 365k of the million chips at the start of the FT at the 3rd one - then came 4th (yes Snap, you have told us about the time....... lol)

I could afford £300 rebuys in them days lol

i heart jimmyb

Did Reactive not win it?

Actually I still remmeber feeling like a di ck at that first Blackpool doo. Took £2k for the weekend then at the casino the first night blew nearly all of it playing 2 x £150 boxes on my own at blackjack. Went out the second night with about £60 lol then when we went in the VIP bit at that stripper place, everyone chipped in £50 except me. Felt like a right stingy g1t but just had no money left lol.

In fact there seems to be a theme going on, as at the next one I did the same again at the blackjack table then blew the rest 5bet bluffing all in preflop on that cash table - I even said what that local had and thought he'd lay his QQ down. Ret@rd station called though and luckily beat my 56s . Hence having to borrow money off Pommo about 4 hours after getting there lol. Wonder if he's still on the bins......

Reactive won the 2nd one I think.

You missed the legendary Kpnuts out [:o]

Oh God aye. KP lol. I've got a pic from our FT of him when we were sat next to each other. I'll dig it out in a minute....

...pending approval....

A new popcorn picture while we wait?

Like so :) (don't know what works here anymore lol)

Oh, here was your popcorn pic while waiting lol

reactive won the first bfwcop!

Thought so, think I lost 2st in sweat that day!

Ah right. WD that man :)

Did JimmyB not win anything then? I might just be remembering everyone talking about him having some big thick coat on when it was boiling hot.

[i]Thought so, think I lost 2st in sweat that day!

[/i]


And then you started on the other leg, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I was at the gutshot sweatshop too.  Still a bit dehydrated from it now.

I remember having about 20k of the million chips at the start of that FT I also remember an inspired reraise all in with my monster A2 off against some poor buggers KK

i had a tenner on ollie when he won at 40s for those who dont know betfair used to have a market on it

wrong profile posting that its nanny ,casemoney

Mr Snap
I remember having about 20k of the million chips at the start of that FT I also remember an inspired reraise all in with my monster A2 off against some poor buggers KK

IIRC You called my all in with the A2 lol (it WAS getting late though and the game was never-ending). I would've had about 700k with 3 left if I'd won that hand lol :(

I'm also still here. Since they became part of Ongame I changed my nick though. Used to be Facemelter :)

Nice to see PQ can still get people out of the woodwork  [;)]

reactive did indeed win the first one - god knows how, he was 3 sheets to the wind after the first level

reactive was a lolfest at bfwcopI

and backed myself at 40/1 to win it as well :)

and backed myself at 40/1 to win it as well :)

I only laid 4 people.  3 of them I knew reasonably well and they were in the first 20 or so out.  I knew you as reactive from the tables, but had no idea what your real name was. 

I don't think I realised you were the 4th person until a day or two later. :(  To be fair I didn't lay much from memory, only a couple of quid or so, maybe a fiver.

all i remember about the first live game was playing very drunk against dubai and pommo in the ttp heads up challenge ( hawko was too drunk to play). oh and consolling some young girl outside in tears after she bubbled for the final. wonder what happened to that shy blonde with the big bristols?

for the 100th time, 'Ston.. I wasn't bleedin' CRYING!!!! :)

crying/wailing/sobbing whatever :p   first time ive even looked on here in months so nice to see a few old names banding about.

probs more likely shaking my head in rage at myself for falling asleep during the break and missing the start when everyone sat back down

tis eh - and cheers danse

definate tears and heartbroken/drunk young girl i remember anna. strange thing was i gave her my cab and didnt even try to take advntage of situation.....most unston like for me a few years back :p

how are you Russ - still playing much ?

f*ck me then, i needed to get a grip

after doing 6 months of 24 tabling 10 hours a day i pretty much burnt out and had enough. went back to the old 9-5 and now enjoy spending evenings and weekends with my family and enjoying real money again. aint played a hand in a couple of months and not missing the grind one bit so guess im an explayer now.

In other words - BROKE JOKE !!

remember we all went dogs from big slick tank was out of his skull ,sure he was holding half the chips in the main tourney earlier dubia smashing into the bookies at the don was a good night ,what happened to zelda how is she ? and Stackers ? KP, Pommo ? people used to win money in them days was forever someone taking down a decent guaranteed tourney ..

As Mary Hopkins sang 'Those were the days my friends'

Morning

Again

Some ugly feckers in that pic.

well i'm still alive and this is the first time i've logged into the forum in donkeys.

hope all the old school are well, maybe we should sort out a tourny at the vic one of these nights.

would anyone be up for that and the odd cider or two?

Hah, 1st time I've been here in ages too. Feeling nostalgic, I guess

weed - was that momma PQ?

Few ciders sounds like a good idea Soc

peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeej

told ya murray would come good eventually

Mikey :) Hello me old mate. Hope you are well Bud.

You were spot on about Murray. Have to admit he changed my view and opinion of him about a year ago and I became a fan. I had my first tennis bet for years when I backed him at the US
Went to the O2 last year for the end of season final, saw Fed vs Djok. Had to get to see my hero before he retires.

P.S You did also say that Fed would never win another major.... he picked up another 3

So how's tricks mate?

another old 20 30 50quid sng player signing in here.play live mostly nowadays(once twice a week) I do play alittle on the horrid ipoker software but not much.never thought we would yearn for those old cryptologic days, with the likes of dr loot returning rois of the minus 60%

There was a French guy played 25$ STT nearly every day , ever so polite at the tables, but horrific player. Think he lost about 25k in 12 months. Aye, memorable days.

Whatever happened to arbboy ?

I remember the days where there were 30 players waiting to get onto plantpat's table(think it was that, defo plant something)was always a interesting table where he/she was playing!

yep all good here, still pokering?

and did the tinnitus get better?

yeah everyone seems to like murray these days

been lucky enough to see wimbledon mens semis the last 2 years now.  also saw him win queens 2 years ago and a match in madrid back in may, so along with other wins i'm quite the lucky charm

off to brighton norwich friendly tonight, lots of new signings and should be a good season.  not a bad 4 years since getting relegated to league 1!

The Tinnitus is still bad mate but definitely learnt to live with it. (Thanks for remembering :) )

Luton and Brighton have headed in separate directions :(.... I fckn hate the FL and FA :)

Stay lucky for Murray mate :)

I still play on here even though so hard to win,my last pick up in the vip elite for finishing 2nd 800 smackers for free entry not bad.

oi oi

This place went downhill when Smokeysi stopped asking for money lol

weed was indeed momma pq. a fine lass as I recall

and 6oC - you go play poker, I'll roll the dice

jesus saw this trip down memory lane were fun days :)

Having been the 2nd bf poker forumite to be accused of kidding fiddling (after Squidy!) the KenBarlow alias had to be ditched. Having converted to Islam I reappeared as the former leader of the Taliban.

Remember having a great time at the first bf do at Gutshot in which I think I predictably min cashed.

Spent this last weekend with Dubai/Hawko/Sunday8pm at golf and darts in the north west of England. It was predictably messy. They are still all completely bonkers and in need of more help than Frank Bruno.

LOL

miss the old school .. used to pull canary  pants down on a regular basis like a ATM free money wish he would come back

"In need of more help than Frank Bruno "    

Old skool signing in

hi p0peye here ....very rare if i play online nowadays..lost any belief that the board cards were in any way random so couldn't bring myself to play any meaningful games.
Also I believe the online companies ruined the game by pushing out the well structured games in favour of turbos/hypers etc losing the skill factor-turning players into gamblers.
I still enjoy the odd small live tourney at the Norwich poker club along with Toongal aka myst1c.

good luck and well done to any still making the game pay xx

Leaf

First time I've looked on the poker forum in years. I'm old school enough to not remember my username on Crypto.

Can you still reduce your commission on the exchange by playing BF poker?

good old McCoy Carp..still here.After having had it for 5 years Betfair decided that my usename GHADDAFFI was offensive and made me change it.I changed it top Sir Jimmy Saville, the knighted hero.  unfortunately people could deal with bad runs , nasty rivers and losing money... but a name tag that did not please them, no , that was to much to bear. so betfair reduced my alias to a number.I My rake must have been about 5k a year. They lost that so that they can please some pc do-gooder.

Always get nostalgic for Betfair Poker at this time of year. Anyone remember the excellent 12 plays of Christmas promotion that ran for a few years?

Those were the days. And the Everest and Fuji leaderboards - I think. Lol.

Don,t suppose (jazzy) Jon still looks in but well done on the Chase  .........

first time looking in years was surprised (pleasantly) there was an old school thread.

never posted much but always read the various threads

managed to luckbox my way to 2 London freerolls Betfair ran, second one upstairs from some dodgy boozer
The first one was strange format - I think if you entered each weekly comp you made it on entry points alone - still have my 3rd place Betfair branded poker set

Wheres LEEDS????

This site is now terminal. Such a shame. Never should have bought their own poker room.
