I cant believe it, your all moaning about something that's being given to you as a FREEROLL .think yourselves lucky you have the time to play here all day and night. If i could change anything on here it would be to close this Free roll and put it toward a tournament as an Added Bonus for anyone to enter !! benny Posted by bennydip2
Bennydip, you are totally missing the point. Regardless of whether or not the league is a freeroll, the way the points are disributed, should be fair for all players. Tournament/Cash Players, HU/Ring players. And as for "lucky you have the time to play here all day and night" some actually regard poker as a source of income and indeed see it as any other job, that is a very ignorant thing to say, not everyone plays for recreation or fun, although, yes, everyone does have the choice.
All those annoyed about the MTT points problem we have please visit my thread under community suggestions its called "changes to the league??" show it some love and then something might be done

I Think as a whole, the League needs to be reviewed, in all areas...I will come and have a read of your thread now:)
Sharksbite ..believe me... I played LIVE poker for a living from 1991 -2003 around 12 years in total . Traveled the world and loved every minuet....
Ive also known alot of people who think they can make a living online playing 12 to 18 hours a day ... at the end of a year the best ones made around 5k and never moved outside their front door -- sad -- what a way to live ?..
But you carry on trying to grind out a living online, i'll carry on playing for fun . !!

Right ok, very constructive comments, well done you! like I said ignorance, but you carry on and live in your own dream world of thinking that even the very best online players can only make 5k per annum.

Maybe for some benny, but with an ROI of -21% i can see why you struggle.... ok you may be more of a cash player, but looking at your stats if it wasnt for your win in the primo (which well done for) you would be minus almost 3k over 1000 games... not the stats you want if you are a 12 yr pro.....

Sorry mate that 5k a year mark is worst comment i ever seen the best internet players ie durrr ivey antionius galfond make millions even normal people would beat 5k a year that if you think best players only make £416 a month you have a lot to learn my friend average players beat that by a comfatable distance.
You guys are cracking me up ... This is not the only site i play .. and not the only alias i play under .. check all you want on shark-scope and make all the notes on players you like.. However if you want a game of Hi Lo stud or Hi/lo Omaha, or 7 card stud pot limit or limit let me know i'll be there
Off course some people make a living online, around .005% !!! Tell me you've made a nice living at online poker in 5 years time .... you wont, because they'll be a new generation of 'wanna bee's like you.. And name me some players British, who were around the online game 5 years ago and are still here today ?? , i could but not many .. !! Still you Pro's in the "league' carry on looking for your Free-roll hand-outs and crying cos the points aren't fair.. boo boo sob sob
Yo benny that was my first post on this thread i don't play league games or freerolls etc and havent once commented on that if you check on this thread.I just wanted to point out that you were wrong that the best online players make 5k a year plus you don't do yourself any favours trying to make players like sharksbite look stupid she is a far better player than you will ever be and she would easily make more than treble than 5k a year playing poker i would bet my car on that lol.
Jamie ...Look i'm not belittling anyone .. I'm sure Sharksbite is a very good player, however ive played with some of the best Live players around, Barney and Ross Boatman, Ram Vaswani, Richard Ashby , Simon Trumper and the Great (late) Hamish Shah, who was the best in my opinion this country has ever seen .... All and many others, ive had the pleasure to be able to call poker mates .. so maybe one day you'll you'll be able to look at your poker life and be able to remember some great players the way i can .and even know you can sit in the same game as these guys ...
I dont really know what to say to you about one player being better than another, your only as good as your last hand !! So i guess i'll see you here in 5 years .. sigh

Ok mate no worries your post came across that way to me lets forget about it.Next time you see rich ashby ask him if he makes more than 5k a year online lol he is very good at plo when i watch him on his sponsored site which i will leave unamed out of respect for the sky forum.
i think he must have used his brain,and worked out how to maximise the points,he did nothing wrong,and i agree it should be taken care of,but surely these are the type of people you want a game against? Cunning people only moaning who didnt think of it first!!
So yes i agree Totally unfair , but CkD i shall always think you scored one for intelligent play.....
Ahh ok. at least you know where i'm coming from .. So if ever your at Luton, me and you can have a drink together and Richard will be there next week for the Grosvenor Tour , he comes cheap he only drinks squash ) glk
PS yes Richard is a winning player,(online and Live) he started at Luton as well Ive been to Barcelona and Austria in the EPT's with him .. ).
