to be clear to everyone here, I dont support mikes behaviours. I seen the messages he sent to you comp, and personally told him to stop being a tool. Jules knows this as well. I was also the one to say you might as well ban him because nothing good is gonna come from him being on this site. But to let him stay and people none stop poke jabs everyday. It gets annoying to read. Sooner or later it needs to stop so the forum can proceed as it was before.

ive been chewed out by people here that I respect tons for my behaviours.. some of it was a mixture of things building up and booze... i put up with alot of shit and I guess I lose focus on being the true good guy that I am... dont know what comes over me sometimes.. Ill wake up the next morning and be like "wtf did i post that for?!"
update:
If anyjuan cares, i pwned up 1/2 cash tonight for 4 buy ins , won back all the money I got from being drunk and punting money the other night
I sent steve the pics to verify lol
Since Ive moved here, im up 13.2 buy ins playing 1/2 NL/PLO, ive played for 141.5 hours, im making about 18$ an hour .. still need to book a much better sample size... and ive run really well. Im also up a fair amount playing BJ and roulette... just 20$ spins or BJ hands, but im up about a K playing those. should be more but I had a lapse of judgement the other night when i was intoxicated to b honest
im keeping these stats with "notes" on my iphone, hope to find a good ap so u guys can see graphs and stuff.
also , while i play, ive been taking notes on players in my phone... helps me alot
I know my sample isnt huge and the amount of money im winning isnt huge dollars, but my bills are paid and I still love walking in the casino.. so thats a good thing.
playing WCPC main on friday, hope my friends that are coming out bring the run good.
i agree that the fed bashing should be put to rest for now at least until he gives another reason to continue it...which imho will most likely happen. sorry, but if history shows us anything, fed is gunna fed.
however, i do not understand why fed himself (and others) keep making him out to be the big victim in all of this. how many times is he allowed to go off on people and then come back and apologize and say he's changed (or in my case for that matter, never apologize or even give a reason to why he constantly ridiculed me)? how many times is he allowed to blame his real life situations and/or being drunk before he is responsible for his actions?
we all have issues in our lives. we've all had people close to us die (if you haven't, don't worry it'll happen eventually and you'll have to deal with it). we've all been pissed off and wanting to rant. however, we all don't come onto this forum and mock people, stir up shit, troll, and generally ruin the integrity of this great site. so i'm sorry if i don't understand why fed deserves chance after chance at redemption. for me personally, i gave him multiple chances. how he treated me recently was just the last straw as far as i'm concerned.
maybe he really is a good guy and he's just kind of messed up or whatever, i don't know. i do know though that he continuously treats others like shit and then gives hollow apologies and promises to change and then doesn't follow through. that, in my opinion, does not seem to fit with someone i'd consider 'a good guy'. maybe i just have a different opinion than most.
and to fed, please feel free to prove me wrong and actually change. i'm serious. we'll both be better off (and so will the forum) if you do.
Fwiw im in BC and a couple important things:
- Irish girl is very real and very very hot
- yoda is the nicest guy ever and completely misunderstood on this forum...rooming with him atm

+1 to both of these things
Yoda is an unreal person and this place is missing out
Just because he has a different "outlook" than Alot of ppl he shouldn't be shunned
and t8 I could post pics but I respect this girl way to much
just out of curiousity, is darb begging to be let back or is this just people asking for him to be let back. iirc, near the end it kind of seemed like darb threw himself on his own sword to prove his point.

By very few... Perhaps just philli, jd and yourself.. He was just daring me to ban him, but if he can talk to Scoops and convince him, I have no personal beef.. He took wayyyyy to much maintenance imo... If he had just stuck to poker related subjects like I asked him nicely too it wouldn't have become an issue.

He's not asking to be back but basically the strat forum is dead without him and after his last few strat threads I think we'd be in store for some really good and interesting ones in the future, esp re: turbos.
Look guys, any attempt to get darbday reinstated would have to go through Scoops.... I have no idea if anyone can be restricted to any particular section or not.. My feeling is that he is just not worth it... At least costanza would (at times) talk reasonably to me in pm's, darb not so much..
I have no idea what he was saying to Scoops in pm's but if it was anything similar to me he has no chance..
Yoda is an unreal person and this place is missing out Agreed . . . when it comes to his thoughts on poker.
Just because he has a different "outlook" than Alot of ppl he shouldn't be shunned On this we will have to agree to disagree . . . will not bother kicking that hornet's nest today.

Fair enough . . . I doubt he would come back if he were restricted in any fashion, anyway. I don't know that I would, either.
He should never come back and I'm disappointed in everyone who is a micro-mid player here willing to ignore his hate and bigotry (as well as feed into his likely diagnoseable mental health issues) to get slightly better at a hobby. Go buy more books for strategy, don't enable a societal waste.

Good luck on Friday.
This... You do realize no one without a HUGE bankroll can make money long term at these right?

Beat-No registration at Starbucks so he never got in.
Brag-Moved three couches and met another chick.
I mean, hopefully he played well and cashed.

If he's nice IRL, great, enjoy. He fucked himself over here and I'm glad he did.

Lol mak I've met you, and I got the impression that u were a good guy and relatively care free and easy going
I'm pretty surprised u have this firm a stance on darb
I have Darby's contact info and he still wants to help me with poker plus he speaks up so good Guy in my books.
I'm not, I'm an asshole really... pretty carefree
But outside of some of the strat posts everyone agrees he was a dick.
Mark
he's not begging, he actually doesn't give a fuck
he's an asset so he is missed tho

Oh come now . . . we are all "friends" here . . .

It's a shame really, at least poker-wise.
