DYNAMO

edited July 2012 in Poker Chat
i watched this weeks episode of, " Dynamo. Magician Impossible."
he visited the Venice leg of the WPT and claimed he wasn't ALLOWED to play.
can this be true ? the poker authorities forget the mathematics and resort to petty superstition ?
i'm sure he can afford the buy-in so what gives ?
i figured poker players would queue around the block to isolate him  ?
or was he lying ?
or maybe all recognised sleight of hand merchants cannot enter poker tourneys ?
does anyone know the ruling here ?
is Paul Daniels banned from poker too ?

    A magician not telling the truth.  Whatever next?

    Antonio Esfandiari just won a little tournament, he's a magician.

    Dynamo is rediculously bad anyway, all his tricks are so badly done, anyone else see the "tattoo removal"? where it was just make up over an existing tattoo, THE MAKE UP DIDN'T EVEN MATCH HER SKIN COLOUR!

    And the "trick" before that was just lol too...

    of course he could play...he do's not have amazing mind reading abilities(its all a well learned trade/trick).
    he would have no more chance than you and i of knowing opponents cards.

    Although I still wouldn't fancy getting into table chat during a hand (with them).

    to be fair he doesn't have a lot to say that's interesting, aside from things like, " eh up, t'world were at me'feet, then me nan died." ( resurrection is out of the question ? )
    after half an hour of episode 1 even a policeman could continue the script in a seamless fashion.
    i just figured that it put the WPT in a weird situation.
    maybe they aren't suing him because it's true ?
    HE IS REALLY BANNED.
    in one fell swish of his 'magic wand,' Dynamo relegated the entirety of the poker community into a hoard of sweaty, little, chancers; that cannot see the bigger picture. Earthbound, greedy, card-looking, rake-slaves.
    hardly the advert for poker that the industry and the addicts crave.
    where are the lawyers ?
    locked up in a prism on the Astral Plane ?
    what are the odds of that eh ?

    your disparaging attitude towards 'magic' appears to emanate from your confused take on the English language.
    i too, would be sceptical, of anything; in your position.
    have you been transported here from the 16th century ? you express yourself like a befuddled alchemist.
    area51, all science with no facts ?
    warped and a little tragic ?
    ( it's all a mainstream conspiracy to disenfranchise you. i went to Portmeirion once, and 'Henge man, i know the score ).    ;)
    insight may as well be prophetic, don't you imagine ?
    thanks for your sagacity surrounding  magic nonetheless !
    i could never have worked it out without your help.
    genius man :)

    Could it be the fact he may be able to swap his hole cards to something that hits the flop without anyone noticing??

    Ofc if he turned over acad and someone else had the same card/s it could get a bit eggy.............
