Betfair PR Manager RIP

So what happens now - abandon ship?

Was he fired?

Hi everyone (it's me BetfairPokerPR)

I wasn't fired!

Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Betfair (Poker) and am now working again full time in the poker industry. Chip and HF are still with Betfair Poker with the aim of improving the relationship to the community. They did a fantastic job in difficult circumstances during my time and always had players' interests at heart.

I am still a big fan of the company (and them) and will be posting on here in a personal capacity going forward.

Since I cannot play on my company's software I am now playing on Betfair Poker so no doubt will be whinging on here with you all

From what I heard he deffo wasn't fired.

Grand Tilt, were you the betfair pr that was responsible for issuing the statement that I was a female?

Even if you were not, you have been very nice to me and I am sad that you are leaving

Why are people assuming that I got fired?

Hi annie - yes that was me.

Glad I could help..I am sure whoever they get in to replace me will be equally nice to you (and everyone) on the forum.

That statement was really helpfull to me, GrandTilt, so thanks again for taking the trouble to do it.  I have been on betfair for nearly six years and you were the only one from betfair who offered to do something about the 'trucker' jokes.  The situation got a lot better for me after that as I just printed the statement whenever my gender was questioned.  As I have said before it was not the fact that I desperately want posters to know that I am a woman, but that I did not want them to think I was that kind of poster who poses as a woman to invite men to make a fool of themselves.

Although being a betfair pr must have been a thankless task as ongame is such rubbish  .

I would just like to echo Chip's sentiments here.

BetfairPR was the driving force behind the whole community/Betfair management meetings and genuinely wanted to make Betfair a better place for us all to play on.

I can confirm he certainly wasn't fired but got a job at a rival poker organisation which was too good for him to turn down.

He will definitely be missed!

well gl in ur new post bf pr
u allways seemed helpfull

Hello, I didn't actually think you got fired btw, just a question to get a response as to why you left I suppose I could of put, what did he leave


Anyway good luck at the tables, bet you will clear up on betfair poker now!
P.s. can you tell us your poker alias? What stakes and game will you play?

annie any chance of a pic to prove you are female? 

grandtilt which poker co. are you working for now?

Apparently he isnt allowed to say. My guess is that it would be a site where poker is played by stars.

Thanks chip,definetely promotion for him then.


Any pics of Annie for the 2 nd question then.

Pictures of annie? 1.01 she's over 45!

So what

You get many a fine tune out of an old fiddle.

Good luck in your new job GrandTilt, the Betfair poker community will be a poorer place without you.

What do you think you've accomplished in your time here then......................................

He was working in public relations for the Betfair/Ongame poker product, which, to borrow from Malcolm T, was about as popular as a Naz1 float at the Notting Hill Carnival.

Damage limitation innit ?

Best wishes

Thanks all

I will be playing under the alias BritishBulldoze on BF (Mainly $5-10 PLO or NLH)if any wants to take my money



I may steal this line which properly made me LOL

"about as popular as a Naz1 float at the Notting Hill Carnival"

The question and answer sessions were like The Shawshank Redemption only with lots more tunnelling through sh1t and no redemption at the end

bloke

As I have said often, shudacuda, I am ancient, so a picture of me would make you vomit your breakfast
