| Crown's 2009 Poker Player of the Year | 2009 01 03 06:32 pm | The Crown Poker Player of the Year competition is back for 2009 with a first prize of an Ultimate Poker Sponsorship Package worth over $30,000. A few things have changed following the 2007/08 Award in which Andrew Demetriou took out with the inception of a Player of the Month Award, a monthly Double Points Week and monthly Freerolls. Stay tuned to Crown Poker and PokerNetwork for all your competition updates. |
| 1000th post . . . First Impressions of a Few | 2008 12 15 08:40 pm | My first post came at the hands of a response to my rather sickening bubble exit from the World Series Main Event, and with not much in-between, the past 6 months would see me plough on 900-plus posts following the commencement of the WSOP to now sit at the magical number of 1000. It takes some patience and time to progress thought the onslaught of sarcasm, jargon, stupidity, hidden agendas and the inability to respond straight-forward to a question; but once you have, there are a bunch of decent people that populate this forum that you can definitely call a mate. Grant “grunter” Levy It was early 2007 and I was grinding it out on a PokerPro table where I struck up a conversation with this guy. We chatted about poker while I thought Q-J was the nuts and he flashed his photo and write-up from Bluff. Carrying a deck of cards for all the pro’s to sign I flipped Grant a pen and the  for him to sign; secretly hoping he would win the Aussie Millions for my own personal glory, I would be let down. Success however has finally caught up with him, and maybe one day the will be worth something . . .http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/m...C__d/glevy.jpg Starting bid $7.85 . . . Ali “KH4LIL” Khalil Great guy and an even greater personality, and yes this has been discussed how everyone sucks up to Mr Khalil, but seriously, who can resist the PeppermintHippo in all his glory. 2 tables remaining in the Vic Champs Main Event last year, Ali was moved to my table with his mountain of chips. Our tenure together wouldn’t last long as I would bust in 11th while he would fall in 5th . . . but from there a friendship of jokes relating to final table blow-ups and the like would continue as I would feed the shoutbox with Khalil updates from behind the PokerNetwork/PokerNews desk. Joel “StrongPlay” Dodds and Tim “luckyshades” Horan You might ask why these two guys of differing personalities are being discussed together, and there is only one answer. It took nearly two years of reading their posts and seeing them down here in Melbourne that I actually realised who was who. Anytime I read a forum post I knew it was one of them, but just had no idea which one! Realising who were who let me revel in the sarcasm and humour of Dodds normally with a beer in hand and a backwards facing black Full Tilt. The ever-happy demeanour of Horan, regardless of how bad he may have run while making classic one-liners. Dave “LeeWah” Lee All I can say about Mr Lee is that he is the one that led me to Baccarat degeneracy! No hatred, but no love about how you turned my view of KK into 0 and 7-2 into the NUTS. Well, if I take out the Crown Grandmaster Baccarat Tournament in the January, then maybe I’ll grant you some more praise, but until then, stop leading vulnerable minds astray with the lights and sounds of high stakes degeneracy! Michael “TheSharkBoy” Palti We logged hours and hours together in home games, 4am $1-2 donkfests and countless $2-3 sessions before we got serious on this forum. Now we spend more time talking to each other on here, than we do in person! Don’t take it from just me, but this kid can play well and run even better! PokaProdigy I still have no idea who you are, and I don’t think too many do. Our battles were great for the readers of PokerNetwork; getting to see your 5-figure roll spread on your bed, while I could only muster up some Crown food court vouchers and change. Hopefully you still have some heart left in you to create another troll account, so that once again we can entertain the readers! I’m not going to follow in the footsteps of Yoyo’s “Let’s Say All The Things We Wanted To Say But Never Did” post and write about everyone, but there are a heap of people out there that contribute to this forum that have yet yielded a mention. SEABEAST, LaLa, aardvark/TassieDevil, ShiRi, thamask, xMONSTERxDONGx, CNT_CRUSHER, LuckyTonyD, JK, LukeM, 139, tsapy and FlopNutsOnYou are all posters that I have respect for and enjoy their posts. However there are a few out there which I don’t see eye-to-eye with but when they’re serious, and post duly they are a wealth of knowledge that can’t be matched by many. So where do I hope to see myself and PokerNetwork in a further 1000 posts? I hope that PokerNetwork continues to grow in the way it has been since its update; more members, more traffic and more information. Seeing the live reporting section reach new levels with the possibility of covering the WSOP with a purely Australian team is not out of the question either; with the right support from all the PokerNetworker’s out there!

| Funny Rumour | 2008 12 07 08:00 pm | There is a rumour floating round that Sam Youssef bought Chris Moneymaker's $1,100 NLH trophy off him and got him to sign it for $200. However a few hours later, Moneymaker decided that he indeed want it for his kids and asked to buy it back from Youssef for more than double what he paid. Obviously a deal was struck, as Moneymaker has had the trophy on the table during his heads-up matches so far. |
