Lots of poker players contribute to charity via P4C. Most don't make a thing about it though.

Oh my word, what HAVE you said now.........

Yes, lots of players used to contribute to charity via P4C. Or they thought they did.....

And many players do indeed give generously, time & money, to charitable causes. (See this Forum for one such example in the coming days).

You guys seem to Post things which open up quite remarkable & evocative memories for me.

And there are not much bigger, or more extraordinary stories, than the P4C story. It's a staggering tale, & one in which I became embroiled quite heavily, the effects of which continue to this day, & will continue so to do for a good while yet.

For those new to poker, "P4C" stands for "Poker 4 Charity".

It's title might make you think it is - or was - a Charity. It was not.

I don't think during my time in poker I've ever been involved in a more disgraceful & sordid chain of events than the P4C debacle. Just thinking about it now, prompted by Elsa's Post, makes my blood boil.

I guess another Blog is required!

In the meantime, let me say this.

1) If you wish to donate to Charity, make sure it's a Registered Charity, with a Registration Number issued by the Charities Commission.

2) Ask how much in the £ goes to the Charitable causes.

Many. many, Poker Pros gave time & money freely to P4C. We thought the money was going to kids in need, as you would.

Wow, what a story that was. It'd have a wow factor of Super-Wow if it were not so incredibly sad, & bad.

Hi Charles You make a fair point but i need to disagree with you to a certain extent. Am i right in thinking that if you request your data to be hidden on sharkscope, then you cannot access other peoples scores?  If so, then i can understand some people wanting to be able to use the service therefore not request their stats be hidden. For these people, i think a distinction can be made between there stats being available on sharkscope, and them being posted on a forum.  The agreement is esentially that they can look at others on sharkscope and others can look at them.  For whaterver reason, i think players are still entitled to want their stats to not appear on a forum.  Like you, it wouldnt bother me, but i do think that if anyone feels differently, that should be respected. Having said all of that, i may be wrong with my assumption at the start and if so, then anyone concerned can email sharkscope as you suggest. Ray

Ray - you can hide your stats and still view others - all this moaning about posting of Sharkscope stats is OTT...what's the harm it's there for everyone to see anyway...and in this case Webby was complimenting JimiFloyd if i remember right?

Torrylad i talk to webby online and have no beef with any1 the idea of the post was to get webbys attention give him a few pointers on what i do and also for every1 else to see if they wanna grind at sit and gos.I dont think im great and its not a brag as i dont post messages hardly, just tryed to share a little insight and see what others had to say i said i was only messing on my first post.Dont think i will ever post again as the whole community seems to be against each other so its not really a community is it.As for respect i aint seeking that either i make money thats all i can hope to do.I aint seeking to make enimies but aint fussed either way.

HI JIMI , HOPE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND . I SAW WEBBYS ORIGINAL THREAD AND POSTS AND HE DID NOTHING WRONG . AS SOON AS HE SPOTTED THE MISTAKE , HE CORRECTED IT AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED .

daveydavey

Haven't really got an opinion on Sharkscope but think it's rich of Tikay to say we can't post them as it offends people and then suggest he could flame Tony G in a blog if and when he pleased.

At least Sharkscope is data based.

This thread is getting serious now, it isn't a major gripe of mine but reading it that ^ is what my thought process was. No offence taken tikay.

1) Sorry if I offended you Webby, as I said, I was sure you didn't do it intentionally.

2) TK get those blogs written - TonyG & P4C!

The publishing of other players stats was done recenty on Daniel Neg' blog, anyone have any opinions on that?

FlashFlush

I'm getting confused by some of the comments on here!!!
Webby put up Jimi's stats to PRAISE him, whether he should of or not does not really matter, as soon as some1 commented he appologised and removed Jimi's name. The title of this thread was a joke just to get Webbys attention and Jimi has said numerous times he has not taken any offense and doesn't care his stats were published as he is proud of them. Then people like Nirvana and scrumdown come on here, don't read any messages only the title and start having a go at Webby for posting stats... If Jimi doesn't care his stats are on show why should scrumdown or Nirvana?!?! This just seems to be an opportunity for people who are not fans of Webby to find things to get him in 'trouble' about.

NOTE TO EVERYONE! Read past posts before posting or you will just look stupid.

P.S thats one more post for the freeroll (I know thats how certain people think)

NoseyBonk

Well said Flash. I said earlier that Webby made a 'praise type' thread, and jimi's response is obviously light-hearted with a tint of 'help Webby out and answer his questions'.

There's been some misunderstanderings going on for sure!

dav1964

hi flash.personally i dont think webbys done any wrong as you say if jimi isnt bothered then why should anyone else be? i think some people missed the original idea behind his thread and pounced on him.the thing is though is that webby humself is very very quick to make rash remarks when he wants and maybe some people just wanted to do the same.as they say what goes around comes around

sorry rich but it seems like webby has serously annoyed alot of people on here, including me, he makes stupid nasty comments wothout know ing what he talkin about. i was talking in the posters freeroll and ever1 agrred.
Posted by nirvana29

this is just fantastic once again from nirvana, you never ever ever ever ever ever read the thread, you just see the title and think you know the full story and all the facts, this is a light hearted discussion that jimi opened up to have a bit of fun and 90% of people have fully understood that but certain people come on with their famous one liners and have no idea what the thread is all about.

i suggest that rich resets your post count to zero on the back of your non existent posts

also not sure i post sly nasty comments on here as you claim? last week i did apologise on the forum if i have upset anyone because i was having a really tough week and maybe got a bit carried away. but i also like to have fun on the forum and you only have to read my poem that i came up with regarding team tikay to realise that?

ps: dave i wasn't offended with you or tikay mate, thats why i put lol at side of what i wrote, a smiley would have made things clearer imo and i think we need them on here?

easy to put then on her webby only prob is they go on as a GIF file (same as photos) and you have wait for approval before being shown, but i agree pics and smileys can add a little something extra to a post, I know others hate them but you cant please everyone, but thats what makes the forum diverse, keep posting , keep smiling - john

Sharkscope is public info that anyone can get, to say you can't post them is daft. surley the ruling about not naming people during derogatory threads (i.e not posting HH where you say look how this donkey played) is enough of a law to govern this. If your posting information freely available to the public (that poeple have the option to pot out of) for a good reason then it realy shouldn't cause all this interest.

I understand why jimi started the thread and think a few people have seen an oportunity to jump on and berate Webby as per their usual form. All the things they claim webby does and slam him for are exactly the same things they leap onto every thread he's involved in and throw back at him. i guess it's just any excuse for some people

Where did I say I was going to flame Tony G? He's a friend, & a guy I do business with! He's neither an angel or a devil, very few people know both sides of Tony, & I simply suggested he might be an interesting subject for a Blog!

look webby, EVERYTHING i write on here i 100% mean and understand, the posters freeroll is only motivation to give my opinions. am i wrong or is that exactley why sky came up with the posters freeroll??? some of the posts on this thread are not "light hearted" at all(including tikays), and i would thank you not to completely disregard my posts when you post alot of one liners yourself, purely trying to get your post count up. ive only had a go at you in this thread because of what you said in one of my threads which was purely rude, and yet again you continue to try to make me feel inadiquate.^^^ stop annoying people and then maybe you wont have to keep throwing nervous lols into your posts.

a quick note guys -


i have had to remove a couple of posts in this thread. No member of this community is in a position to belittle anyone else's posts. everyone is entitled to their own opinions and can post anything they like (providing they fit with the community house rules.)

please use this community as it was intended; a place for open friendly debate and chat. users who repeatedly break the house rules will be warned (and eventually banned). if anyone has a grievance, please send this to me as a private message instead of publicly on the forum.

thanks everyone for your understanding on this matter.
