You are whacked and i mean that with kind regards. There was some arrogant jerk at the table who you where trading jabs with who sucked out on you so you where fuming and decided to put your earphones on and the dealer tells you its against the law(which is obviously bull). Well needless to say i think you about lost it, anyway i was the guy in the six seat, who you kept messing with about getting in my jacket or just hiding face. Just had to tell you thought you where a blast to play with and the reading is better(which proves my point about the whacked comment)! I Think your great for poker and sense that there are great thinks to come for you. Hope to see you around! I know You will have a great year, Good Luck! <br /><br />EricEric Marceauxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312023986845287098.post-64994193544876410552010-01-03T23:38:42.533-06:002010-01-03T23:38:42.533-06:00I will be making the trip again from Texas for the...I will be making the trip again from Texas for the Beau Rivage events. I am arriving on Jan 11th. I plan on playing everyday for the noon event and probably the $10k. But when I am knocked out early, then I will make the trip over to the IP to play in the 6pm event. Hell I am staying at the IP for free for 4 of the days anyway. They have a pretty agressive marketing campaign. They send out a lot of rooms.<br /><br /><br />But they dont give NEAR as much as the Beau Rivage gives out. They recently sent out free airfare in addition to 2 days hotel from Houston! And I dont even play that much. Lukcily I did get 5 free hotel days at the BR as well.<br /><br />I will disagree with one thing Monkey. I thought that the structure for the last event at the BR was really great!Gary Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312023986845287098.post-89516062965639780722010-01-03T02:17:32.502-06:002010-01-03T02:17:32.502-06:00Wow...started this blog at 11 p.m. It's 3:15 ...Wow...started this blog at 11 p.m. It's 3:15 a.m. now.

Breathe in through mouth. Breathe out through mouth. Gotta be her. Figure she wouldn't even need the mouth for O2 intake, but whatever. Maybe it's like a turbo vent or something.<br /><br />Your blogs are steadily getting more violent. That's fucking awesome.

How nice of him to give you a plug for your behavior as if jonny grooms perception of one’s behavior at the poker table is the benchmark. What a pompous, arrogant asshole he can be sometime. He acts like he came down from his high throne at the Beau among the minions to cast an approval of your behavior. He decided to play the IP events and do some competitive intel on his competition, and while he is at it, let me pat TPM on his back for being a good little boy. <br /><br />I am not trying to sour your relationship with the Beau here, but JG stuck his big toe in the water here so I will pull him in the rest of the way. I am not trying to create a flame war in your comments, but I have no other place to tell him what I, and lots of other players really think of what he has become.<br /><br />The problem with JG is that he thinks he is better than all of the everyday poker players on the coast, and his reputation is suffering because of it. Do you think JG knows just how many people think he is a pompous snob? Do you think he even cares? I would say probably not. That’s because he has the power and he can bring it down on whoever he feels without being questioned or second guessed.<br /><br />You see, JG thinks he is just better than all of us local players as he has been to the big stage and has commentated at the WSOP Main event and such, he has dinner with pros and they all know him, and he is the Poker Room manager of the great Beau Rivage. What he has done is alienated all the local players like me and you TPM. He has wielded the power, and he relishes in it with great pride. People see him, and people know him.<br /><br />The question is, What does JG do when there are no tournament series going on at his beloved Beau, which is 90% of the time? He sits around in the Poker Office at the Beau and answers the phone like a high priced secretary. (Cue in the ladies annoying voice from Office Space), “Thank you for calling the great Beau Rivage, how can I help you”. That’s right, he is just sitting there manning the phones and booking hotel rooms. “Would you like a Double or a Single Mam?”-“Smoking or Non-Smoking please”-“Can I have your credit card number sir?”<br /><br />Yep, that is correct, the great JG stoops to being a lowly high paid hotel clerk. How much do you think they pay those people who man the call centers for the hotels? Maybe $7.00 an hour?<br /><br />I am not going to post my name here as I don’t want to be banned from the Beau because of this post. I will tell you one thing though, I would be happy to tell JG who I am if I knew I would not get banned. In fact, if he wants to know who I am let him post it on here and I will let him know in my own kind of way. When I make my next Final Table at the Beau (been there before) and when I win a pot, I won’t say something clever like “Pass the Sugar”. I will say something like “JG, can you book me a hotel room”, or “would you like smoking or non-smoking with that?”<br /><br />I must post this anonymously for fear of retribution from the great JG and his beloved Beau Rivage so you can sign me.<br /><br />“4thleveling”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
