Moderate the forum and keep the bullcrap RGP style posts out of here. I've read 2 posts today and they both made me sick.1) The first one was someone taking a shot at Josh Arieh saying his wife has made min. wage as a nurse to support Josh over the past 5 years. First off, no one of this board can say how well Josh has done in the last 5 years. Second, his wife made pretty good money as a Paralegal at a pretty good lawfirm in Atlanta. Not sure where the nurse idea came from.2) The second post was the classic Moneymaker is broke post. All I can say is I went to high school and college (Go Vols) with Money and recently spoke with him at a HS reunion. He's made really good money with an endorsement deal with Harahs and has only played in a few major tournaments. He's not broke and I don't understand why people have an obsession to say he is.Then the Money vs. Reymer argument. Money said on Letterman he'd let us know when he thinks he's a great player. Money has never claimed to be the best player in the world. He said he had the same chance at winning the lottery as he did the WSOP. He's a good player, but not to many people will waste time claiming he's one of the best around, not even him. So please, save your breath on arguning who is better.

Just to address a few other points from the huge post about Money..1) "If he mixed it up with the big boys, he could lose a lot of Money fast." Yes, you are correct. Remember he is a CPA and no dummy, thus, he doesn't "mix it up with the big boys". Although he did take Sam Grizzle for about 25k in a HU match.2) "I thought he kept his job and promissed his wife to not become a professional player."He did promise that, but now his wife has been replaced with a hot brunette. After his 2nd on the WPT, he decided to quit his job and play fulltime. That resulted in a divorce. I would think (but don't know) that the divorce was pretty expensive.

I question why some moderators are deleting whole threads when it was the moderator who made the inflamatory and racist comments?

Is this board ran by a dictatorship or what? People should be able to say whatever they please as long as they do not use foul language. You are lucky that people post on this message board.

Thanks for your retarded response. The forum is for us to discuss poker and maybe improve our games. Other poker related topics are fun too, but the totaly incorrect posts based on rumors heard who knows where shouldn't be on the board.I'm lucky people post here? Are you on drugs? I could give a damn less. It the posts get out of control, I just won't come around. I'm not going to waste my time dealing with idiots like you.

"Is this board ran by a dictatorship or what? People should be able to say whatever they please as long as they do not use foul language."Although I wouldn't have said it that way, he has a point. People are always going to speculate about people in the limelight. It's the price of fame. If you don't want people talking about your life, then don't put yourself in the spotlight. Someone heard a rumor about Moneymake and posted it. From the response, it is obvious a lot of people are interested in the discussion. If you know the rumor is false then come in the post and state your opinion/knowledge. There is no reason to get huffy/puffy about it. And to say reading the thread made you feel "sick" is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.

I was wondering about that also, but we might as well let it go. The conversation was going nowhere anyway

Moderators? Actually, I manage the site and just as a moderator is able, I too, am able and willing to edit and delete at my discretion. The moderator you are referring to held that moderator status for a specific pruprose and area of this forum, Forum Poker Tournaments, which I will add are not yet official forum poker tournaments and may not be for some time. Moderator status was granted to that individual for the sole purpose of making "sticky" and "announement" topics for upcoming forum poker tournaments due to his interest in helping run them. Consequently, that moderator status has been revoked.

I am lucky for many things though I do not manage this site as a dictatorship.

While I am new to posting here, I am not new to Internet forums. I lurked here for a while, reading some of the insanity that gets traded, but I just smile and hope I run into a few folks around the tables 8) I finally decided to jump in because I believe that forums serve an educational purpose for people to discuss strategy, concepts, playing styles, etc. (Or whatever the topic at hand is for the forum, ie a musicians forum). I DON'T believe Internet forums are a place to character bash, or spread rumors.So, thanks for instilling a bit of faith Mr. KKsuited. Besides, I'm not sure how this forum is related to Daniel, but I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate being associated with a place that spreads lies and rumors about world class players he will have to sit at tables with. Why give these guys any more ammo to throw at the guy?

Another "Bad RGP Post" cliche I've seen here that always irritates me:Don't mask bad beats as cries for advice. If you flopped the nuts, get all in and lose to runner-runner, noone cares, noone can help. From now on stop getting unlucky. From now on when you flop the best possible hand, check-fold to keep from trapping yourself. Make it abundantly clear you're looking for sympathy and validation and posting boring hand histories and whining, as opposed to actually having a question or an interest in discussing play.

We really need to stop having posts where people come forward and attempt to rally the forum members around decency and against posts they don't like.It's ****ing fascist and the people who post the things you dislike mainly just laugh out loud at you.It accomplishes nothing, and makes you look like a supercillious ass.

Thank you KK for stepping up and saying something like this. It is very difficult to find a quality poker forum these days where you can have mature discussions about the game we all love "poker". I truely think that we have a good thing going in this forum, thanks to Admin and Jayson, who do the best they can to moderate and I think alot of it has to do with the enormous amount of respect we all have for Daniel which is a result of his loyalty to his fans and the members of this site. I do not see how people get off on thier immature nonsense posts that have no value watsoever. The only purpose these posts serve is to try to achieve a certain amount of attention to one's self the incompetent people who post them could obviously not get by making legitament post or by replying to a forum mate's post to lend a hand or have a logical discussion. So, all in all, I pity those who do it and will never waste my time or give them the social satisfaction they try to achieve by replying to thier obnoxious post or even argrueing their ignorant points.As for the posts geared towards Josh and Money, I think they were just made out of jealosy. It is no secret that Josh Arieh acted a little out of line at the WSOP, but the important part is that he was man enough to admit that he was wrong and take responsibility for his actions and I dont see how people could criticize someone that has the integrity to do that. As for saying that Chris Moneymaker is broke, I personally do not know the man and it is just common sense to say that he is not broke and is most likely a very wealthy man, for those of you who made believe otherwise, like KK said he is banking in an indorsement deal with harrahs along with one from pokerstars.com, not to mention that he is generating income off of his DVD and he has a book about his story that is supposed to be comming out within the next couple of months. So the least you people who make these post could do is do your research and atleast make sure that there is not obvious evidence that suggest you are WRONG!!!!thank you

KK, I understand what you were trying to do when you started this, but now we just have a silly thread talking about the other silly threads.Silly, isn't it?

KK, I understand what you were trying to do when you started this, but now we just have a silly thread talking about the other silly threads.Silly, isn't it?Yes, but now he gets attention for nobly trying to raise the level of debate here.In reality most people think he's an annoying self important ass and roll their eyes, but he'll grab a few suckers to stroke his ego along the way. Wait and see.

The main thing that cofused me about the moneymaker is broke post is that he said it only because he was playing and 4/8 game?? Pros like Annie Duke, Howard Lederer and Phil Hellmuth (and other) sometimes play very low limits on pokerstars.com, that doesnt mean they r broke
