Should I wish him luck or just not care?

The_Chopper

Hypothetical

Lets say you know a guy from playing poker that gets to the FT of a WSOP tournament much like the way John O'Shea has for example........

You think he is a dangerous opponent or whatever, yet you've found him to be the more arrogant, unethical, try anything to tilt you prick you've ever met.........

Now lets say a post is made of this on boards as per my example, should I be wishing this guy luck and be happy for him or should I be hoping he get's it up the ass?

you should maybe stop acting like a child and wish him luck... At the end of the day it's just a game of poker.

But im sure you'll think of something to do

So the guy who gave you verbals in the Fitz from the "Support CHL" thread is on a final table at the WSOP,

You wish him luck?

CHD

i think your thinking too much

In fairness Chopper,
by the sounds of it, he wouldn't really care whether you supported him or not. Sometimes we have to see past our opinions of someone. Im happy that I actually know someone that is on a final table because
A. I now him (only through poker)
B. He is Irish and
C. He is a Boardsie.

If you want to wish him well, do.

If you don't, well fair enough, but don't start a thread like above, it's just seems silly.

HoLLLLLaments

if you dont like him dont wish him luck and just dont post in the thread at all. who cares? i doubt he does,

altho i also have heard he is arrogant and obnoxious from at least 3 unbiased sources.


edit:i also hope dario wins

5starpool

If someone I really disliked got to the FT of a big event I wouldn't want them to win, but I wouldn't start a thread about it either. I would probably say nothing or at about it in fairness. If someone has a grudge with someone that didn't develop on boards, then leave it off boards preferably.

I can arrange to have him robbed and beaten up at Dublin Airport for 3K. Meet me in St Stephens Green with the money. (used 5 euros notes) I'll be wearing a chimp mask, blue socks, and beads made from doghair (bought in Skerries) .

The codeword is : Rob someone for me. (come alone I'll be watching)

For an extra 2K I can have him dance naked for you.

As you go through life, you will see many succeed that you think don't deserve it in your judgment. You can respond in one of two ways:

1) Feel envious, talk the person down, and look for reinforcement from your peers that share your opinion, or

2) Be quiet and use the event to motivate yourself to work even harder and succeed yourself.

The mature choice is obvious.

John will do that for nothing in the Jackpot if he has a few pints on him.

Listen to the Wizard Ricky. He speaks words , old and wise ..... (and if yer not mature by his age you never will be)

this thread is amusing and yet deathly serious.

The_Chopper

Just because someone is Irish and on boards doesn't mean they're deserving........

I like most else on this site like to jump the bandwagon and wish all Irish luck when they're doing well in tournaments - but in some cases some people are just really ignorant and it makes you think if they're worthy of you well wishes

This was all covered in a thread a while back where people were very strongly for and against whether someone deserved their WSOP package based on whether they may have fractured the rules......

semibluff

arrogant and unethical are the best things he's been called in awhile. He'l be over the moon

maybe i should start a thread asking a hypothetical question about a situation that may arise if someone feels so petty and immature that they have to start a thread to belittle someone. Obv im not talking about ricky here, just a hypothetical situation

Blip

The answer is in your question, If you cant wish him luck, then just dont care.

OK, so IBL

LOL.

John is an aquired taste but at heart very decent. If you have a beef with him Ricky, hypthetically or whatver, no need to wish him luck but similarly no need for this thread.

Conbro

Ricky what age are you? Cos this is the type of stuff a 12 year old would do on bebo. Your embarassing yourself and being very bitter towards one of our own who has made it to the final table of a WSOP event. I dont know what your gripe with John is about but theres a time and a place to sort out these matters and by using his qualification for the final table of such a prestigious tournament to document your hatred for him, you're only really managing to make a fool of yourself. Now crawl back under that rock.

Goodluck2me

hypothetically speaking, i would imagine that if someone were to start thread like this it would be another reason why people don't like that someone, but this again is only a hypothetical situaiton.
If i were to know someone in this exact situaiton I would tell them to grow up, but i doubt that hypothetical situation would ever arise.

Tribezz

lol

The words: bitter, twisted, inadequate, small and petty come to mind!

I would imagine is setting in about now. If not it should be!!

I go to college with a friend of John's and he came up in conversation one night when we were out (just after his interpretive dance routine). He said to me something along the lines of "He can be a right arsehole, but he's a nice guy".

I think that sums him up pretty well. I don't pretend to really know John at all but he has never come across to me as anything but a very good player who can rub people up the wrong way. Nothing wrong with that, sure he is only human.

I don't think John pretends to be anything other than what he is. I hope he takes this down now. The ultimate needle, hypothetically speaking, would come if he won it given this.

Wishing someone luck doesnt actually materially affect the chances of them doing well or badly, so it doesnt matter what you do.

YULETIRED

hmmm....Can I tell them Ricky or are you going to?

I dont know about that Hectorjelly. If nobody wished u luck, friends,family etc u would be extremely pissed and I doubt u would bring ur A game to the table.

What's this got to do with anything? Using a third party to get your dig in so mods won't ban you is a very sly thing but i'm onto you......

I haven't insulted anybody's poker abilities, nor have I insulted anyone directly..... I asked a question which came to mind based on on a thread saying that John was on the final table.......

FYI:
I think i played with John once and took 35k of his 50k starting stack in the GJP deepstack with the blinds at 50/100 when i flopped the nuts (this has nothing to do with anything)

Noel I've never seen you so quiet in my life - you obviously have issues with something here for some unknown reason and are just going around thanking everyone that doesn't agree with me. Speak up my dear boy

ive spoke up with my lol above. Im thanking lots of posts cos they are correct.

your behaving like a child and I think you should grow up. your coming across like a bitter eijit. I dont know what your hoping to achieve by starting this thread with your hypothetical situations as if you are somewhat trying to remove yourself from your very clear point.

as for your last post about being "onto you", the man is on the FT of a wsop event do you really think he gives a flyin fck about you to the point where he would be getting fally to post digs at you on here? srsly? have you been smoking dope or somthing cos your coming across somewhat paranoid now.

maybe when he gets home you can play him in a hypothetical/make believe $500 HU sit and go or sumthin.

now smurph, we both know that rakeback is not allowed on the iPoker network. They even sent out an updated copy of the new network policy this week outlining as much.

Lads Lasses and members of Rickys lynch mob. This is a BIG LEVEL (or whateever you call it) It's getting too nasty now for Ricky to keep it up but he seems to be doing well.........BUT I can assure you it's a LEVEL.

So calm down ...If I were a MOD I'd send him to the mustard forum for heating up yer temps. ....also his location is offensive to me.

oh no is it not john o shea the soccer player... i told all my friends it was...they are gonna think im some dope

thechamp87

I was going to reply to all this properly but I don't want to get banned because then I wouldn't be able to get more of those "indirect sly digs" in.

All of the threads you start on boards are nothing short of pathetic. Your contributions to the forum are a waste of time. Your sit and go hand that you changed from $1 to $500. Your HH thread where you changed your posts to make everyone's replies look dumb. And now this. Get a life. You are coming across as a moron.

On an even more serious note, well done in that hand in Drogheda against John. You must have played it reeeeaally well. Nice one flopping the nuts as well.


Edit: Just saw the "onto you" comment. I haven't spoken to John since last night. Why the fk would he need to tell me to post what I said. I can see perfectly clearly for myself that you are acting like a child.

DEEP THROAT

Slightly off topic but a couple of years ago there were 2 English players at the final table of a WSOP event. The boys were all out with the Union Jack givin it large etc until one of them ( I think it was John Morgan ) got knocked out. The Americans were agog to see the whole lot of them pack up and leave. When asked one of them replied "We'd fookin hate to see that cnut Ulliot win"...:)

Just proves begrudgery is not only reserved for us Irish.

HIVeindhoven

Wow, Chopper you really are a fkn attention starved moron. And from what i've seen of most of your posts, a godawful poker player to boot. Get some help mate.

BTW i dont really know John o Shea, I have played with him on one or two occasions live, and always enjoyed watching him tilt the droolers, of which you were obv one. I think nobody with any cop on or maturity would let themselves get tilted by his antics but it can be fun to watch none the less. far more entertaining than reading one of your pathetic cries for attention anyway. Enjoy grinding those $1 S+ G's.
