I fail to see any legitimate reason for him to be carrying on and criticising others over it all. I mean seriously, what was the big problem? Was he cracking a sad because he had to play against "Those guys" or something like that or did he just have his knickers in a knot because he didn't last long at the table at all and walked away with nothing more than a bruised ego and a bad attitude, the attitude of a sore loser? Just because you don't win or you fail at an early stage does not mean that there was a huge failure and unprofessionalism when it comes to the organizing of the event, it just means you didn't prepare enough before hand, or, better yet, they were better than you.

I would have to assume the same thing as you have, that he is cracking up purely because he was pitted against those other great poker players and he lost. Would he be cracking up so much if he had been registered at the same time as some unknown amateur style players who don't have skill levels any where near as good as his own? I think not. Obviously he can't handle the heat of the tournament and cant handle the fact that he was defeated, oh the poor dear, looks as though maybe he has forgotten what game he is playing and the fact that you don't always win.

I would have to say that my first thought when i read the full story is that he just has gotten his nose pushed out of joint because he got knocked out of the tournament and rather quickly and he just doesn't like that and is being a spoil sport and cracking a sad over it, he'll get over it lol if he's going to throw a tantrum every time he loses then he really should consider improving his game because he is making himself look like a bit of a child when he is behaving like this over losing, he wasn't put up against players who are impossible to be pitted against, he can hold his own and has demonstrated this on many occasions, he just fails to admit that he was knocked out of the tournament because of his own bad plays and not because of any problem caused by those who organized the tournament. Sounds like he was hoping to be put against a heap of people who are lower in their skill levels than he is in order to get an easy ride for part or if not most of the way.

Purely this is nothing short of a clear example of bad sportsmanship. He was acting like such a spoilt little child, so he lost, who cares, get over it and try harder next time. If you can't play against some of the best in the industry and win some and lose some and accept that you lose from time to time then you shouldn't be playing in tournaments where other profession poker players will be playing in the first place because you can't handle losing. Poker greats don't get great by losing and making excuses for themselves, they get to be poker greats by winning and learning from their losses rather than sitting around complaining about them and making excuses for themselves.

I agree with you. This guy is making himself look like a total fool by cracking up because he lost when pitted against some real great poker players. It gets to a point at times, especially people such as him who are such bad losers and have a cry when they don't win and have to blame their loss on anything other than themselves, when you have to just laugh but yet still feel sorry for people like that. Do they really expect everything to just be handed to them to make it easier for them? Poker is a challenge in itself, that is part of what makes the game so great, the cards challenge you. Why expect to be put with players that are easier to beat? What gives him the sense of entitilement that he definately has been displaying?

If you want to look like a total little cry baby then this has got to be one of the very best ways to go about it lol. When he is looking back on it now i bet you that he probably feels like a complete moron, as he should. I hope that he is really embarrassed about it all. He did not make anyone else look bad, even those that he was attempting to make look bad, he only managed to make himself look bad so i am pretty sure that he will not think that it was all worth it in the end. He should have known better than to behave in that way, he has damaged his reputation and i do not think that poker fans will take him as seriously or follow him as keenly as they did before he decided to have his little dummy spit. Just goes to show you that even the players who get to go into these kinds of events don’t always deserve the opportunity, makes me wish that someone else got in instead of him, someone more deserving of the chance who would have appreciated the opportunity that had been given to them much more than what he did.

[skylarking]

I agree with you there, he did well to make himself come off as being such an ungrateful little brat basically, i can not think of a more accurate way to put it. I wonder what was going on in his head at the time that he decided to start his whinging. I can’t even begin to be able to think what on earth he was thinking to make him believe that sooking like he did was actually going to get him anywhere or make him feel any better about his loss. How can he justify that behaviour now? He can’t. He is going to have to live with it and the many jokes at his expense that are sure to follow his little dummy spit. You act like a child when you are a full grown adult then you should expect to get paid out for it.

[simplelife]

Whilst there are some players who do have a whinge but we take them seriously and can see where they are coming from, this guy is just a whinger who has gotten his panties into a bunch because he didn’t win and he got knocked out so quickly. The people we can take seriously when they complain about a tournament are only taken seriously because of one thing and that one thing is the fact that these people come out after being knocked out of a tournament but they do not complain about other poker players that are knocked out of or still in the event, they do not complain about those who organized it, they complain about themselves and their game play for the loss that they got, these are the people you take seriously, because they can accept that something is their own fault and not pass blame onto someone else.

[wisewords]

In every sport, in every game, in every high profile industry including music and film, you will always get some people who love to do nothing more than to complain. No matter what it is they will whinge. Look at the divas who insist that everything has to be the way they want it otherwise they will not perform. It’s not just divas either, once Sylvester stallone had his whole suite at a hotel painted the color he wanted it to be and had it converted into a gym. Shania twain the singer, she has her own sniffer dogs do a sweep of the concert venue before she performs to check for any bombs that may be planted somewhere at the venue. Paranoid much? Some people just appear to get great pleasure from having a good long complain, it is to them as though they have accomplished something by doing it. I happen to think that the tournament was organized perfectly so screw him lol.

[leimo]

Sniffer dogs? Bombs? Yeah that is a little over the top now isn’t it? I mean yeah she is a famous singer but she should also face it, she’s not that big of a star lol if someone was going to blow up some concert or something like that you would have to think that it would be at a bigger venue with much more people than you would get at a Shania twain concert if you were doing it for some kind of twisted political reasons. Then again maybe she has had some psychotic fan mail of the years and it has just made her that uncomfortable that it is the only way she can perform and feel comfortable and give her best performance. This guy complaining about the organization of the tournament is more than likely doing it just because he lost and was out so fast and not because there really was any problem with the sign ups or the organizing of the event.
