Phil,>Because I'm not a boring old nark my post can't >be taken seriously? >You seem to think this post has to be like a >journal article in its formality in order to be >understood and believed. You missed my point 100%.It is interesting you choose to attack my lack of humour rather than the content of my post. (Playing the man, not the ball, eh?)Your post read pretty much like a
PR handout from Pacific Poker. Uncritical. Glowing in its praise.Imagine a brief article written by, say, a hypothetical Australian manager of 888.com trying to drum up (troll) a little extra business for his poker site on the various forums. One could quite easily conceive such an article reading just like you posted:"Pacific Poker is da Bomb""excellent value tourneys""software is one of the better""features which are a must-have""RNG actually does its job properly""Playing here is always fun""voted as having the weakest players""fast and easy deposit""generous welcome bonus""massive value freeroll""I have to thank Pacific for""but it’s one of the best"Very few of the online site rating sites have much good to say about the Pacific software, although there is quite some agreement about the weakness of players there.Also, your comment about the RNG was made in jest? You were not implying that some other online poker sites are rigged? This must be just about the most tiresome and done-to-death theme in poker forums over the last few years. Put up proof, or don't make ridiculous assertions.Finally, let me be blunt, not in any way amusing or showing character or humour:
Are you in any way affiliated with, have any interest in Pacific Poker, or stand to gain in any manner from increased business at that site? If you are, you should have stated so. That way we can evaluate our opinion of your post based on that information.If you are not, then why the uncritical puff piece, using standard
PR-type terminology? Because you've done well there in a few freerolls? Surely, if it's such a fishpool you wouldn't want all these good PNW players coming in and sharking away some of your krill? Phil, you may be entirely genuine in wanting to share your new-found discovery of nice easy games, good software and conditions at Pacific with the wider Australian poker community. But by expressing that in the manner you did in your original post I feel the value of your analysis (or basically the re-hashing of advertising handouts) is greatly undermined.
