I thought the gutshot article was highly amusing, where basically this guy defined not getting broke as being a winning player. I still like the old David Hayano idea of 10% being winners, the rest losers, break even, and subsistence players.<BR/><BR/>gl<BR/><BR/>ddBig Dave Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582161855630413360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309892.post-1112729274376128722005-04-05T20:27:00.000+01:002005-04-05T20:27:00.000+01:00chaos,I've emailed u at your old freeserve address...chaos,<BR/><BR/>I've emailed u at your old freeserve address.<BR/><BR/>cheers<BR/><BR/>DaveBig Dave Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582161855630413360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309892.post-1112726319669329162005-04-05T19:38:00.000+01:002005-04-05T19:38:00.000+01:00Oops can you delete that please, I knew that was g...Oops can you delete that please, I knew that was going to happen soon.<BR/>but still leave you email address plsstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495286987274622178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309892.post-1112695269655890562005-04-05T11:01:00.000+01:002005-04-05T11:01:00.000+01:00Good article, interesting replies.

You underestimate the number of people still solvent and still playing. <BR/><BR/>You mention half a dozen from the Dungeon days who attend Gutshot.

The poke...From Peter B<BR/><BR/>An interesting article, Dave. The poker world is littered with corpses (as are most entrepreneurial sectors, such as investment broking, fx trading, small businesses), but one never gets to hear about them or, more importantly, see the effects. In 1980 I was working in the Mecca Bookmakers in Greek Street and one of the biggest punters was a black guy called Peace. He ran an illegal card game/nightclub further up the road, host for pimps, dealers and other generally Caribbean detritus (I saw one of these players in the cinema when watching Raging Bull one wet afternoon -- one of the ways they picked up girls was to attend cinemas on wet afternoons, a common retreat for the homeless youngsters who had "run away" to the bright lights of London).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, back to Peace. He drifted out of my life as I drifted out of Soho, only to reappear in 1991 or thereabouts in a betting shop in East Dulwich, betting in 10 pence units and working as a postie in a sorting office somewhere near the Walworth Road.<BR/><BR/>Such a fate probably befalls a lot of "big-time" gamblers who are not really winners. For Americans, champions of the rubdown, it must be even harder for them to drop off the face of the poker-playing/gambling world.<BR/><BR/>Of the players at the Dungeon five years ago I doubt that more than a half-dozen are still seen regularly at the Gutshot. Some people don't go broke; they just drift onto other things (Iceman Bowles is now keen on Go; Iain Adams decided that work was an easier way to make money). But many of them do lose all their dosh. The sensible ones realize this and leave the game. The really sad cases return as railbird nippers; unable to win, but unable to leave it alone.<BR/><BR/>I am proud that I have never borrowed money to gamble and, please god, I never will. It's one of the plusses of being very conservative when it comes to stakes and bankrolls.<BR/><BR/>PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309892.post-1112573361845811542005-04-04T01:09:00.000+01:002005-04-04T01:09:00.000+01:00AKsu,I've not played as much there this year, but ...AKsu,<BR/><BR/>I've not played as much there this year, but I do play there. I'm sure we've played though, maybe, you're BK - I think it was him or struck me as being a particularly dedent chap - said 'wp' in a hand he lost, does that sound like you.<BR/><BR/>I get frustrated with the site, it is often a hassle to get a game. Also the poker had been paying for my sports betting as I took some big hits, so I had to put a perspective on the value betfair poker was offering me. Before Christmas, 90% of poker time was spent there, now maybe 20%. Another downside, is PT at crypto, it is supposedly solved, but I've still had problems.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495286987274622178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309892.post-1112568611379912472005-04-03T23:50:00.000+01:002005-04-03T23:50:00.000+01:00Excellent article Dave.

In particular, 'his heart appears to be somewhere in outer space', though of course he may not have known where is heart lay. The reference to his dream job perhaps testified to his state of mind - escape to the future, different worlds. <BR/><BR/>Re neverwin - I had a look at his site a couple of times to see if it delivered anything, but never seemed to find any articles, as he promised. Of what I read I was unimpressed: it struck me as vulgar and childish. It referred to owning your opponents and in particular when neverwin won a big vhunk against a guy HU in Vegas. His sidekick, the guy who runs the site, referred to his the win in a particularly vile way, but I can't recall exactly. It was something like 'putting an animal down' (but certanly not that). Anyway, it aappeared pathetic to me. It seemed they were trying, and succeeding in developing a cult figure, by appealing to people's greed by promising something that they wouldn't or more likely couldn't deliver. All in a bit no doubt, to like kinda get on MTV. (Don't start me on the 'likes'). Things may have changed, I've noticed that some of the big limit players refer to posting on the site, but I suspect more to chat than for anything useful.<BR/><BR/>BTW, wre you AKsu's hunch?:)stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495286987274622178noreply@blogger.com
