pryce6, nick, has his opinion of things yet never questions whether what he says or writes is anything but the truth. nick might truthfully believe his opinion is always correct, however that alone doesn't make it so. unfortunately for nick rather than gaining credit for being truthful his assertions sometimes act to undermine him.
his comment about ed is his opinion. whilst he believes it to be the truth, it is actually only one opinion.
i played against nick in two spts. the first time i reraised all-in with 22 and nick called with AK. i won, nick criticised my play and walked off. the second time i went all in with AJ nick called with KT. nick won, i walked over, congratulated him and shook his hand.
my opinions of nick are; he is a good player, he is unsporting when a loser, he is 24.
In Response to Re: Nick Pryce, New Blog 30th May : What a load of old tosh this is. Myself and a number of others had an FB chat with Ed last night. He's a member of a group of players and has been for sometime and expressed his concerns about the fact that the blog was being promoted on the Sky forum and he had no right of reply. I will say no more on this until I have spoken to Ed. I haven't so far spoken on his behalf (something you appear to be doing Jdog) and wouldn't wish to without his permission. Suffice to say that Jdogs post is complete made-up tripe. Posted by elsadog
here you are again arguing against something you don't know about...why is it a load of old tosh??? why are suggesting this is not true...can we please forum ban elsadog for calling me a liar this is defamatory and against forum rules
In Response to Re: Nick Pryce, New Blog 30th May : Who did? Mark Zuckerberg? I hope you have evidence to back up these claims. I am boycotting FACEBOOK right now based on the information you have given me... Thank You! Posted by MyZo
michael jackson did these things and he has admitted as such in the past...im not saying anything else just stating some facts
Nick has every reason to feel agrieved that he did not get the mentoring he expected having been told by skypoker that he would be mentored by a professional mentor.
When Ed, David Tuckman and Matt broughton were asked to be JUDGES on total player they agreed to do so for a fee based on appearance on channel 865.
Fast forward a few weeks and the final 6 or 10 [cannot remember] players in each person team have been selected, skypoker then instruct the 3 judges to spend approx 20 hours per week mentoring their players. Skypoker do not have the budget to pay you for this service but we expect you to do it, we were told.
When skypoker were quickly informed that the 3 judges work freelance and do not have the time and/or inclination to give up 20 hours a week mentoring players without some sort of financial remuneration a quick conference call was arranged between the 3 judges, Claire cook[senior lady at skypoker 865] and another producer of the channel.
During the conference call the whole tp expierience was close to breaking down as Claire cook was tryiung to bully the 3 judges into working for no fee, suggesting that for future work on the channel it may be a good idea to do this work for free. Ed and Matt were quiet and David Tuckman took the lead, he was very professional, he was impressive and he got the point across that as a freelanceer he expects to get paid for his poker knowledge in a work capacity, he was fair to himself. the other 2 judges and to skypoker.
A sort of dutch auction was then had and skypoker offered a fee which was insultingly low and David Tuckman in a very calm professional way negosiated a fee that was still very low but it was accepted by the 3 judges. |The hours expected of the judges now mentors to actually mentor was i think cut from 20 to 4 hours per week,
The whole Total player expierience had been sullied, hense it hasnt happened again.
Im sorry that Nick didnt get mentored by me after what he thought he was going to get after being promised a professional mentor by Sky.
Id never mentored before, I was an analyst on a tv show, two very different jobs, I wasnt actually qualified to mentor .
If I am at fault it would be that rather than give all my players 30 minutes a week each I spent 100% of my time with Dan brown and glitterbabe who were the best two players and the players that i was always going to take thru to the finals.
My thoughts about Nick crying about this 2 years later and and printing private emails remain the same, I think hes a [ill leave the last word to your imagination]
ok i have not posted on the forum for a long long time...is it any wonder but i have to speak about this post not about the opinions i love opinions.nicks blog is good and the replies are interesting..except elsadogs he is just a silly lonely little WUM who needs to get out more... My point of coming on to post is that i actually no ED have done for years since he was playing cricket down the road at hove,plus he went out with my cousin for a bit..NOT ON FACEBOOK ACTUALLY IN REAL LIFE.... have spoken to him about this whole thing, he said that those opinions were not his,although he agreed with a lot of them.He said that nobody went onto that blog on his behalf because quite simply he would of replied himself if he felt the need....I dont think he cares a bit what nick says about him,i mean you guys know him a bit if he had a problem do you really think he would hide behind someone else's profile...NO of course not he would post it himself.. Nick blog is good it is about many a thing not just Ed and as i said the man himself does not feel it worthy of mentioning so why do you elsadog... you are a liar as i have just proved so crawl back under your rock you petty man!!!!

In Response to Re: Nick Pryce, New Blog 30th May : What a short memory you have Posted by elsadog
difference is you actually our a liar...
actually wait im a fair man,we are both guilty of the same thing...forum mods i propose that you ban elsadog and jesusdog from the forum for the same crime....make it a dog free zone ....
^ WAIT.... You said all that without moving your lips Jesus....... I thought you were "The Voice" of ED or is Simhunt lying aswell? AWKWARD Posted by MyZo
i didnt say i was the voice of ed i said i knew him.....are we only allowed to know one person each???
Just to make one thing slightly clearer , when the 3 judges were asked to do total player mentoring was not even mentioned, let alone giving up 20 hours a week for free. The 3 judges were told their duty was to commit to a 1 hour tv show once a week for 8 weeks.
So Nick is aggrieved because skypoker promised him something that the 3 judges were not able to do, had Ed been told thast he was expected to mentor for 20 hours a week as well as the tv show then he would have had huge reservations about taking on the project.

This thread is going to be closed, with the following points to be noted by ALL forum users.
1) Posting on behalf of someone who has been banned from the forum is not permitted. Doing so will lead to your Community rights being removed.
2) The reasons for Community bans are not discussed - Sky Poker's decisions are not made without facts, and this is what leads to the bans. ANYONE who has banned from the forum has been done so for reasons which Sky Poker are not going to discuss with a third party, either here or privately.
3) Linking to external blogs on the forum is no longer permitted. This is a crying shame, but if every single disagreement is going to lead to spats on this forum, we are not having it.
Nick's views are his own and he is entitled to publish those on HIS blog. Ed is entitled to answer those on THERE. Sky Poker is also entitled to moderate THIS forum in the way we deem best for the MAJORITY of users. Simply put, slanging matches/defences/counter-arguments are not going to be entertained.
It might sound all very draconian, but this is a forum for people to discuss poker, not bring their personal grievances and dirty laundry out to air.

in my opinion it's a simple problem.
