    To be honest I'd be delighted if someone who does know would just list the tourneys he didplay and his results so as people would stop talking about him espacially as most of the people doing the talking ddin't even have shares in him

    Wait, so one of his friends can come here and try to flog way overpriced %s for the guy, insult Boards members continuously and make out that he's the best thing that's happened to Cork since...well..eh...1916? and when someone comes back and says he lost the lot of his investors cash before he even played the ME, people are to keep their opinions to themselves and not have a chuckle at the expense of the dopes that funded the guy?

    Wtf is with you Corkonians?

    And yes, I'd imagine the people laughing about it certainly didn't have any funds invested in the guy as I'm sure those who did certainly aren't laughing right now.

    :D

    Fair play to him... its rumoured he even managed to get a "shirt" deal ( for €2k :eek: ) before he went over

    and to SirToYou the OP of this mess have alook at what happened to the last crowd who claimed they were only advertising someone elses wares ;)

    I think if you read between the lines of my comment you will see it was more of a respectful way of asking someone to do some explaining as opposed to let off as you implied. And please don't stereotype that everybody that plays in Cork is from Cork, Or that all Corkonians have some short of shortfall, It's quiet narrow minded and some might say ignorant, And I did say "Some might say" before you start spitting your dummy out :D

    this thread has to be the funniest / stupidest I've seen in a while.

    I hope it works out for those investors.

    at least it looks like no one on here was desperate enough to take offered deal . . . .

    As far as I am aware Big Al cashed in a deep stack tourney doing a deal for $14800, The same deal Gavin Kelly got and talks about in his blog


    LOL so he brought over 45k and won 15. So he did his balls to the tune of 60k halfway through his trip?

    What difference does it make that the OP or Player is from Cork? None.
    Its just a deliberate attempt by you and others to stir shit.

    Not really, as I said earlier (and people agreed) those from Cork were making a show of themselves here.

    There's obvious exceptions; RedJoker, Flipper and the like.

    "BIG AL"
    FIRST OFF THE NAME IN ITSELF SUGGESTS A LARGER THAN LIFE CHARACTER (WHICH HE IS) AND OFFERS AN INSIGHT INTO HIS PERSONALITY AND OUTLOOK ON LIFE.
    SO WHAT IF HE WENT TO VEGAS AND SHOT HIS LOAD- NO PUN INTENDED,
    I WAS ONE OF HIS PERCENTAGE BACKERS AND BEING HONEST I DO NOT FEEL ONE BIT PUT OUT THAT HE DID NOT GIVE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
    I GAVE HIM €X TO GO AND DO HIS BEST WITH IT.
    I DO NOT EXPECT ANYONE WHO GAVE HIM SPONSORSHIP TO FEEL ANY DIFFERENTLY. NO DIFFERENT THAN BACKING A HORSE IN THE GRAND NATIONAL! ONE THING I AM SURE OF THAT AL DID NOT TAKE ANYONES MONEY WITH THE INTENTION OF GOING TO GO TO VEGAS AND BURSTING OUT.
    I AM DISAPPOINTED FOR AL THAT THINGS DID NOT GO WELL, HOWEVER HE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER OF THE % SELLERS ON BOARDS WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT HE PROBABLY HAD THE MORE REALISTIC CHANCE OF CASHING OUT. WHY?
    AL IS A GAMBLER, HE IS ALSO A CHANCER!! AL HAS STAMINA, HE HAS AN AGRESSIVE PERSONALITY AND IS A MAN OF THE WORLD WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER, HE CAN ALSO BE A PAIN IN THE NECK,
    ALL THESE ATTRIBUTES ARE NECESSARY IN THE REAL WORLD OF LIVE POKER TOURNAMENTS AND CASH GAMES, IT IS ALL TOO EASY TO BERATE FROM THE COMFORT OF THE KEYBOARD,

    This thread has been a car crash from the start, should be closed tbh, it no longer serves any purpose or point.
    I tried to steer clear of it but when blatant stereotypical comments like the above are posted its hard to turn a blind eye.
    Attack the post not his County of Origin.

    Ah but you have to say this, you'd probably be lynched by the PROC if you didn't :)

    So Mr Mike@CPT do you think its perfectly fine to give out a list of events that you are going to play to potential investors and then go bust with their money in cash games and not play the games that were part of the deal you made with these investors?

    Also I did not see it written anywhere that he might play cash games with investors money.

    One more question, are we to take from your comments that you invite all sorts of chancers, conmen and crooks to take part in your events?

    Now that I think about it, sure you guys were at it for long enough yourselves.

    Its clear to me now why you would condone this sort of behaviour......

    What if i took 10K from you to buy a horse, and said **** it ill buy booze instead, im larger than life and im just hilarious with a few drinks. that makes it ok yeah?
    HOWEVER HE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER OF THE % SELLERS ON BOARDS WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT HE PROBABLY HAD THE MORE REALISTIC CHANCE OF CASHING OUT.
    Laugh out loud. How has he got he most realistic chance of cashing, he's not even entering the bloody main event FFS> he has taken people's money under the illusion of one thing and done a completley different one. How is that acceptable?

    This thread should be locked.

    If this guy really spent peoples money who bought shares in him on table games instead of buying into the tournaments then he is a disgrace and should be ashamed to show his face in an Irish poker room again. Thats if he did because it all sounds a bit far fetched to me.

    The people who vouched for him should also be ashamed of themselves in case anyone on here bought into it and got scammed out of money.

    This thread should be closed up though.

    If people want to be stupid enough to invest in someone (especially what he was offering) then leave them to it.
