Tom who?

Here's a snippet from one of those paddy power emails -

"Read the Paddy Power Poker P-articles written by experts to help you master the game.
You don't need no education? Eh, quiet frankly, yes you do. Lose the ego and
open your mind for this week's Paddy Power Poker P-articles...
Bluffing the Flush
by Tom Murphy"

Imagine that two Tom Murphys playing poker in ireland and working for paddy power

lol "Tom Murphy" and "expert" in the same sentence lol

In fairness the articles are pretty well written and are right in most of what they say. Expert is a bit much though but I'm sure that wasn't Tom's idea!

"You don't need no education? Eh, quiet frankly, yes you do."

That is definitely written by Tom "The Gay Waiter" Murphy so I would assume the line above it is also written by him.

Never heard of either of them!

The next one should be "How to play Q 3 like an expert"

I've heard of him. Next time he wants 10% he's got it.

Bad haircut though.

Sorry to dissappoint Bohs but I didnt write either of those lines, Ross O'Mullane (our marketing manager) writes the emails, I just write the articles. I've mentioned that "expert" isnt what I'd like to be referred to as but like, what is a marketing manager going to say "hey, theres this bloke we know and he seems to do pretty well sometimes, and he said....".

I write 2-3 a week and you can either read them and dismiss them as crap, or you can take them on board and see if they make sense to you and your game! I wondered how long it would be before someone mentioned it.

We'll see some articles from Mike Lacey and Hector soon too I hope. If you are interested in writing and you can write and have a good grasp of the game, let me know.

Hate to break a stereotype, but of late his hair looks a lot better, I think he's using a new gel or something. It's annoying because I can't go "ha ha gay hair" anymore

You may remember from the time that all began there was the conclusion that all hair styles meet some gay stereotype. So you can.

amp · 08-05-2005 3:35pm

So your saying that his hair is still gay but on a different frequency of gay?

Yes. Recalibrate your tonsorial gaydar.

Wait till I start teaching poker classes (seriously!), you can all call me the New Mark Strahan

Theres a lot of stuff I'm working on right now within the Irish Poker scene. I think you're all going to be sick of me (if you arent already!)

I did say I was going to get heavily involved didnt I!

Is it voluntary or do you get paid if your article gets put on the PPP website? I was thinking about writing an article about low-limit online Omaha.

Tom who?
