ProTilt Quit our League
 
LMFAO. Fresh off of ace10, that Hutton guy pulled his team out of the league. Perhaps we'll get some of their posters over here now?

PShabi 04-12-05 09:34 AM

That is some funny stuff. I can't believe how much of a soap opera it's turned into!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for the forums though. I've got Protilt and ace10 accounts that I never would've had before. Just for shit talking, but hey, better than nothing.

Anyway, that pro-tilt dude is crazy stupid. FBI? Quitting the league?

I'm going back to middle school for a few minutes and I'm going to go flame that dude some over there. Normally wouldn't, but this guy is just begging.

GeoffM 04-12-05 09:40 AM

I just opened accounts at both sites too. Pshabi, don't do it man, they're just going to come congest our board then.

PShabi 04-12-05 09:44 AM

Whoopsy, too late. Nothing terrible though. Mean, jabbing, not too immature though. It'll probably get deleted in a few minutes.


GeoffM 04-12-05 09:52 AM

Cool, I just buttered it up a bit.

Hope we don't get banned :( .

Nah, I doubt it.

It really is a shame. If enough forums join this league, we could also be running some stud or O8 tourneys simultaneously.

omahilo 04-12-05 10:07 AM

be cool too if we had some tourneys over at FTP and ran a HORSE tourney (TP *cough* TP).

limit HE, O8, Razz, Stud and Stud 8... would be fun to play a nice assortment of games.

GeoffM 04-12-05 10:11 AM

That would be cool. I'd just be folding on the R LOL.

PShabi 04-12-05 10:16 AM

GET OFF THE O8 CRUSADE FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GeoffM 04-12-05 10:18 AM

LMAO.

Pshabi, go read the board again. Pkrbaby wants a piece.

I played at his table. I can take him out, so I know you could.

PShabi 04-12-05 10:24 AM

Yeah, did read it.

Thanks for writing a check my ass can't cash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!! :D

Oh well, I did get some quality cards that night, but fluke? I think I played my best NL Poker in a while. First time I've played that long without overplaying a hand or making a stupid, stupid, STUPID, bluff attempt.

I'm great!

King Shabi!

Where's my cloak bitches?

Kiss the ring.

GeoffM 04-12-05 10:26 AM

You did play fantastic. I was watching that entire final table, but kept my mouth shut so as to not "distract" anyone.

We came 1, 2, and 4th. I don't know how they feel they have the best board, but to each his own.

GeoffM 04-12-05 10:38 AM

So, let's not call the Kettle "black," Mr. Pot.

LMFAO, look familiar Pshabi.

Where did you come up with that?

GeoffM 04-12-05 11:06 AM

Well, after a few posts at protilt.net, it looks as though it is once again on, "NEXT WEEKEND". If worst comes to worst guys, simply mute the chat or something.

The more the merrier IMO.

PShabi 04-12-05 11:53 AM

I don't know about that.....

Sounds like the whole thing blew up and is over.

EF_Hutton posted and said they quit and THF quit and they're going to do their only little thing together on Sundays.

We fucked it up.

But seriously, if we traded spots and someone DOMINATED our forum (in every sense of the word) I would be cool about it. They could join and post and I wouldn't be quitting.

Oh well.

TP will get our league up and that's fine with me. I don't even play NL Tournaments anyway!

PShabi 04-12-05 11:55 AM

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry pshabi, you are banned from using this forum!


WHOOOPSY!

Aequitas58 04-12-05 11:58 AM

EF_Hutton's Message to His Board.
 
I am not intersted in Playing in this League and have removed my self and this Forum. Texas Holdem Forums is doing the same!

We had a Great Showing and Proved that would could play. We made our Point and now lets move on. THF is asking us to have a weekly friendly match with them on Sundays which is a Great Idea.

Since I Joined the Forum League we have had noting but drama!!!! Retards have come in here and spammed us and the Talkingpoker group is nothing I want to be accociated with. I spoke to the owner and he is a good guy but the CHIP guy that came in here and posted all that smack, was the Admin.

Ace10 is now asking for Protilt members to come play for his team. Let them find their own players.

I hold nothing against ACE10 and I wish them all the best but they love to pick fights with people and cause drama and that is not my style or the direction I want this site to go.

You notice now we get idiots in here like Pokercracker and such , that will only get worse!!!

I like the idea that FONZ at THF had about the Sunday Game. He is nothing but 1st class and that is the type of CLASS who need to be associated with.

PEACE OUT AND AS ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO POST YOUR OPINIONS ON THIS.

-EF

This guy is a nerd.

Aequitas58 04-12-05 12:01 PM

Fonzerelli_79 runs THF. We don't see him around here too much anymore.

PShabi 04-12-05 12:06 PM

I busted his Benedict Arnold ass in the forum tourney. :D

But shit, I busted tons of people. :D :D :D

Naw, really, I remember seeing Fonz over there a long time ago. I think we were a "2nd" home.

junYUN 04-12-05 12:09 PM

looks like i missed a good ol fashioned flame war

why are people such queers

Talking Poker 04-12-05 12:42 PM

In all honesty...
 
I'm disappointed at how this has all turned out. I think this whole league thing could have been cool, and now it's falling apart. I'm not assigning blame to the smack talk group (us) or the thin skinned group (them), but they do have a point that none of them came over here to start any trouble with us...

And now instead of exposing this place to a bunch of potential new contributors, we have a "trailer park forum" rep. That kinda sucks.....

As for the Fonz - he runs his own forum, and he was the one who invited us to play in the league. Just so you know.

GeoffM 04-12-05 12:42 PM

LOL, I got banned too. The funny thing is I seemed to have been accepted, but I guess it's a dictatorship over there. That Hutton guy is a sourpuss, I'd love to have him heads up in a "friendly" game of O8.

What a jackass. We proved that we could play...how? We won, they lost, simple.

That really is stupid considering my posts were friendly posts and not very offensive in any way, shape or form. Oh well, he shouldn't be talking about drama because I just got banned from his forum for no apparent reason other than he is gay.

Edited to add: They had a great showing considering half the field was from their site LOL.

Talking Poker 04-12-05 12:53 PM

From an email from EF:

...I have nothing against you but many of your members have directly insulted me personally in my own house. I would never dream of doing that in yours. Not my style at all....

and

...Please ask your members to refrain from posting on my site. It is pointless and only makes brings a bad reputation towards your site....

So, there you have it.

GeoffM 04-12-05 12:55 PM

See, he banned me though, I did nothing.

That brings a bad reputation to his site.

Someone give him a passafire.

PShabi 04-12-05 12:55 PM

1. I'm disappointed at how this has all turned out. I think this whole league thing could have been cool, and now it's falling apart."

Me 2.

2. I'm not assigning blame to the smack talk group (us) or the thin skinned group (them), but they do have a point that none of them came over here to start any trouble with us...

Chip got a little worked up, made some good natured posts. The only time any of the rest of this jumped in was when FUCKING BULLSHIT COLLUSION & CHIP DUMPING POSTS started popping up. I seriously take offense to that.

If anyone would've WHOOPED OUR HOLY ASS, which would've happened sooner or later, I wouldn't have taken offense to anything anyone of us has said so far. I don't think anyone with half a brain took it to heart but the site admin did and that's that.

What did you expect them to do, TP? Come over and say, "you guys handed us our asses. You killed us!" Can't really talk when you've taken a solid whippin.


3. "And now instead of exposing this place to a bunch of potential new contributors, we have a "trailer park forum" rep. That kinda sucks....."

Kinda sucks, but I think that "rep" is a view held by about 2 people. It will still get people over here. Like looking at a car crash.

Aequitas58 04-12-05 01:06 PM

This guy is a tool. I can't believe you're so hung up over it.

GeoffM 04-12-05 01:12 PM

I agree with Pshabi and Lou here, but I know where you are coming from TP.

But as far as a trailer park forum, no. We had the best showing at that tourney, and if these other guys wish to come and start posting over here, more power to them. The smart ones may realize that yes we did win and we have quality posters on this forum.

I personally signed up for the other 3 forums, and I'll assume that others will do the same. I got booted off protilt for no apparent reason, but I'm sure Ace10 and TPF would be glad to hear my insights.

And if some stranger wants to post in cyberspace and tell me I suck, fine, then I'll take it like a man and improve my game. I surely won't whine and cut people off, some of whom may help my game. I've said all along that we are doing this, posting on other sites and whatnot, to improve our game.

And anyway, this sort of trash talk and crap happens all the time, regardless. Every sitngo, multi and cash table I sit at, people tell me I suck. That just motivates me to take more of their money.

Tony Cheval 04-12-05 01:23 PM

Hmm, sounds like Hutton is more interested in making ProTilt an insular circle-jerk than a thriving forum with a healthy infusion of new blood. So be it, as much as they whined about collusion et al., they can't take my $78 away from me. :D

Tony Cheval 04-12-05 01:36 PM

Actually I would be up for a smallish HORSE tourney, I recently discovered the Razz table (yeah, there's usually only one running if any) at Full Tilt makes for some easy money. :D Doesn't add much to the bonus though, sadly.

GeoffM 04-12-05 01:40 PM

Actually, I'm on about 6 out of 8 working hours, and TP, I do notice more traffic than usual on this forum today.

I know, I know, half of that traffic is me :D .

PShabi 04-12-05 01:48 PM

You get employee of the month yet?



GeoffM 04-12-05 01:57 PM

LOL, no, I do work, but unfortunately the internal system I work on is extremely slow and I work extremely fast.

TajaUk 04-12-05 01:58 PM

I tend to believe we should do our talking on the table and leave the shit talking to the kiddies. Yes people watching were shit talking the final table but dont rise to their silly comments.

I just wish people would stop making the forums look bad.

Talking Poker 04-12-05 02:08 PM

Agreed. Let's just put it all behind us, effective immediately, and let our actions speak for themselves on Sunday...

PShabi 04-12-05 02:16 PM

Okay, but, I don't think there is a Sunday. See AEQ's post 11:58 AM, this thread.

GeoffM 04-12-05 02:19 PM

Ya, I know. Is there a Sunday?

Talking Poker 04-12-05 02:54 PM

We're playing this Sunday. Same place, same time. It hasn't been announced yet, but it's going to happen.... minus the Full Tilt people, of course.

GeoffM 04-12-05 02:58 PM

TPF is out as well.

I say who cares. If those from their forum wish to play, they know who and where we are. Ace10 had a good showing population wise so I don't see why we still can't fill a tourney with 30 people.

SirFWALGMan 04-12-05 03:06 PM

Daaaamn!
 
I have to say, if your going to be a retard and ban people for saying that there forum beat your forum then I really do not want to play against you. What a loooooooser! If he had just requested that the banter stop or setup a section on his site dedicated to the tourney where you could talk trash then I could respect that, but he just goes and bans people for saying perfectly legitimate stuff on his board. He is like the kid who brings the bat, and then when his team starts losing takes the bat home and cries to mommy.

SirFWALGMan 04-12-05 03:10 PM

Trailer Trash
 
We are the trailer trash guys! lol. I mean look at some of our members (You know who you are).. heh! Thank god the contest is equivelent to wife beating, and we are number on!!! YAY TP!

GeoffM 04-12-05 03:18 PM

Hey, I ain't no trailer trash if you're referring to me. I love that show and all, but I'm a suit by day and a preppy by night. I just enjoy the odd pint.

GeoffM 04-12-05 03:20 PM

Well, Ace10 just said on the website that indeed, same time, same place, he is setting it up. Screw the other 2 forums. If they wish to play, they can join our forums.

ChipFish 04-12-05 03:30 PM

Knowing now how everything would turn out....


I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

What a pansy. :rolleyes:

fonzerelli_79 04-12-05 03:53 PM

we have pulled out of the league (THF) as well.
i spoke with mark from TP about it. It has nothing at all to do with what EF Hutton left the league for. Im sure he has his own reasons and i have mine.

Paul from ace10 wants all league members to send traffic to the main site etc and i didnt want to commit to it - thats the main reason of it. Good luck to the remaining leagues. I get on very well with Paul from Ace10, Mark from TP and Hutton from Protilt and i done see any reason for this changing regardless of my involvement with the league (if im not involved i could even represent TP in a future game:))

Sundays game was fun (even if we didnt do that well) so id be happy to get a THF vs TP game some time in the future for fun - if possible id like to get a forum vs forum game arranged with ace10 and protilt as well. I just cant commit to the league at this time.

I used to drop by a lot here but havent had time in the last few months - obviously with running my own forum and other websites etc but ive been working full time as well and just didnt have the time. Ive not played much poker in the last few weeks either because ive been so busy.

kev :):)

oh and thanks for busting my Benedict Arnold ass pshabi - lol;)

Aequitas58 04-12-05 06:14 PM

LOL. Where's Jackass_Man when you need him?

Talking Poker 04-12-05 06:38 PM

You are more than welcome to represent TPF this Sunday and any other time, Fonz. And yes, I'm sure we can set up a tourney with this forum vs. yours sometime.

I too wasn't a big fan of the whole required linking thing, but like I told you, if me putting a button in the menu of my site makes everyone happy, so be it. I don't see it as a long term committment though... If things don't go well, we'll pull out too. But for now, we have a title to defend ;)

ChipFish 04-12-05 07:35 PM

Well I can't even find it.
If you have to go searching for it I would say you wouldn't lose much traffic when they do find it.

Talking Poker 04-12-05 08:05 PM

Exactly. The link will send 1% as much traffic as promoting the competitions in the forum will, but if it makes everyone happy, then so be it.

junYUN 04-12-05 09:19 PM

so much drama over poker

fonzerelli_79 04-13-05 04:11 AM

Thanks :)

we'll try and get something sorted in the next month
if thf doesnt take part this sunday i should be able to represent you guys as i dont think im up to much :)

Penguinfan 04-13-05 03:58 PM


Can honestly say I have never needed him.
