Hi achill,
A "grimmer" is poker-speak for a fraudster.
When a guy taps you up in a Cardroom & says "lend me £100, I'll give it back to you later tonight", when he has no intention of repaying you, & then sneaks off, you've been "grimmed". Or someone says "let's swap 10% of each other in this Tourney", he wins it & then does not cough up, he's grimmed you.
It happens a lot in "staking" I'm sorry to say.
There are, as you can imagine, a milion ways of grimming folks, & most of them occur in Cardrooms & Internet Poker Forums, sadly. But not this Forum!
when i first met tk on table i chatted more than normal .
my reason was,
because i was been extra nice to a pokerstar .
so yes i think you are right ,
when tk is on the table people are more inclined to chat .
now after your first post you were trying to explain this in vain i see .
but you still are geting quiet aggresive responses .
plus fallen has already said sorry ,
what more do u guys and gals want from her .
to these guys and gals i just wish to say ,
fallen has a opinion just like you and lay off her shes a nice gal .
stop being nasty to her .
this only applies to the nasty posters .
This is not a pop by fallen at the majority but if taken the right way may highlight the issue to that small minority to respect and threat everyone the same at the tables regardless of statues
I myself have the same problem with constant questions about poker from the likes of Nutter Gerard9 Irishrover and some guy called Tikay10 (who ever he is) and i try to treat everyone equally bad - thats just me lol
I understand the point that is been made and it is directed at a small minority. I do believe that Tikay cannt see the problem that is been highlighted because the issue is the diffence in people attitudes when a presenter is present
Now go play some poker
Hi Fallen,
I did actually get the purpose of your thread in the first place, and did not once try to upset you or belittle your posts.
I just felt that yes, there will be railers because of TK's status and yes, people will talk differently in from of him. I have a note on one particular player (no names) that simply says 'abusive'.
To my knowledge, this player has never been on the forum and posted an article, but I saw him on a PTP table a while ago and he was as sweet as sugar, to the extent it was a little sickly, knowing his past record.
However, my original posts still stand and that the VAST majority of railers, supporters or players are very regular forum contributers that have developed friendships with fellow contributors.
I played my first deepstack a few days ago, in the game, were 2 regular forum posters, who in fact I had never directly spoken to before, and the first thing they did was to introduce me as a forum regular to the rest of the table and in turn introduced each of the other players to me.
That, I thought was special, it showed the respect the community has gained and that friendships had been formed before I had even met any of them. Within minutes, we were chatting about anything and everything and the chat box never stopped moving for over 2 hours.
I don't think by having a 'name' at the table changes these dynamics for most people and a quiet table can just mean that the players don't know each other.... yet.
Sometimes, a player on the table like TK can just purely break the ice.
However, yes, sometimes people deliberately join the table because of who is playing, but if they are truely that starstruck, then that in turn is their perogative.
It was a deepie, and folded my way out!
