Well Mates it seems like I never actually even talk about Poker anymore, I just talk about how pissed off I get at the Lame Poker Players, Lame Poker Sites and the whole Lame Lameness of the entire Lame everything....LOL!
Damn my Vocabulary is growing!..........So Today I'd like to tell you about yet another BLODDY LAME ASS POKER SITE NETWORK!- ("POKERDREAM")
I Like many other Pokerdream network skin owners took the chance of having my own poker site skin on this Lame Ass network. I mean how can you expect anyone to play poker at a site when there are a whole 70 players at any given time? but in saying that those numbers have actually doubled from almost a year ago! WooHoo!
So, I am givin the promises and constant support on how my new poker site graphics and room will be completed and up and running in 6-8 weeks, now that was over 4 months ago! Geez what a Time waster that has been! As far as I am concerned they can shove their site straight up their suez canal and I hope it gets blocked in the process!
I will move my leagues and players to a more reputable site that actually has players at the tables. Now I am sure I am gonna get major flak from other PD site owners but I could really give a rats ass about any of it anymore. Once I get pissed off there aint no turning back! damn who needs any of them?
Now at least I remember why PokerMatesNZ decided to only cater to the Top Market Trusted and secure Poker Sites on the net today. Its because they deliver and members actually like playing at the top sites!
PokerMatesNZ will be running all of its Private Poker games mainly at our Premier sposored site Carbon Poker
they have been the most helpful site to date and I enjoy working with them! So keep an eye out for PMNZ playing at Carbon Poker!
In Closing I would just like to say a big PISS OFF TO POKERDREAM!

News From Masala
G/Day Mates
As I continue along this Journey as a poker website/forum owner I am always amazed at the way other poker websites/forums continue to function! They have all become stagnant and saturated with all the same lame freeroll hunters! Which is not all a bad thing if I wanted to waste the rest of my life chasing information and setting up games for people who are just takers and will only ever show up for a game as long as its free!! I Hate Lame Ass takers and I dont really care about what the hell tha anyone thinks about me or my website!
I do however care greatly about my Loyal members who always play the games we set up. Lately PMNZ hasn't set up any games at all but that is all about to change. I will be providing Freerolls and Buyin games once again for my members only so dont come to my forum looking for a free hand out. Just stay where you are wasting the time of all the money hungry website and forum owners who are using you for their own monetary benefit!
PokerMatesNZ members just wanna play poker and play it well! Masala just wants to show his Loyal members that he cares for them personally and wants them to become the best poker players they can be!
Hate me, love me, despise me or just ignore me because its all perfectly fine with me! I do hope that anyone just starting out takes a big look at their life first and make sure you know what you are getting into before you start because it will chew a hole in your ASS as far as your time is Concerned!
Another thing is I just love to be a pain in the Ass and go against the tide!

Table Talk by Gavin Smith (Full Tilt)
I talk a lot at the table. I like meeting people, and poker tournaments give me the opportunity to chat with a lot of nice folks. The conversations I have between hands are not just pleasant - they can also be informative. What a player shares about himself will often determine how I'll play against him down the line.
For example, say I'm playing in a $10,000 tournament. I ask the young person to my left how he bought into the tournament and he tells me that he won a $30 satellite. Based on that piece of information, I can make some assumptions. He's probably not especially experienced. Most active players don't bother with low buy-in tournaments. He likely doesn't have a huge bankroll, so he'd probably be perfectly happy to cash in the event; he doesn't need to win to feel he had a successful tournament.
Against this player, I'm probably going to run some bluffs when I think he's only got a moderate hand. I'm also going to be willing to make some pretty big lay-downs against this guy. I seriously doubt he's going to put in a lot chips without a very strong hand.
Now imagine that I ask a man at my table how he got into the tournament and he tells me he bought in directly. I ask him what he does for a living, and he says he's a bookmaker in Dallas.
I've got to assume that this guy's willing to gamble. He's probably not afraid of a big bluff or a big call. Against him, I'm going to have to call more liberally and avoid making any of my own big bluffs. I may even check some reasonably big hands to avoid getting raised off my hand.
These are just two examples of what you can learn by drawing your opponents out and listening carefully to what they have to say. Every piece of information you gain at the table is something you can use to your advantage.

Chris Ferguson from Zero- $10,000
I'm almost a year into an experiment on Full Tilt Poker. I'm attempting to turn $0 into a $10,000 bankroll. With no money to start with, I had no choice but to start out playing Freerolls. Starting out, I'd often manage to win a dollar or two, but I'd quickly get busted and have to start over again. It took some time but, after awhile, I was eventually able to graduate to games that required an actual buy-in.
Even today, people don't believe it's really me when I sit down at Full Tilt's small stakes games. They ask what I'm doing down here, and often tell me stories about how they turned $5 into $500 or $100 into $1,000. Usually, these stories end with the person telling me that they went broke. There's no surprise there. These folks tried to quickly build a bankroll by gambling. They'd play in a game that was beyond their bankroll and, if they happened to win, they'd move up to a higher limit and risk it all one more time. Inevitably, they'd lose a few big hands and go broke.
For me, this experiment isn't about the money. It's about showing how, with proper bankroll management, you can start from nothing and move up to the point where you're playing in some pretty big games. I know it's possible because I did it once before, turning $1 into $20,000.
To ensure that I keep my bankroll intact, I've adopted some key rules:
* I'll never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of my total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: I'm allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less).
* I won't buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of my total bankroll and I'm allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1.
* If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent of my total bankroll, I must leave the game when the blinds reach me.
I think a lot of players would do well to apply these rules. One great benefit from this approach to bankroll management is that it ensures you'll be playing in games you can afford. You'll never play for very long in a game that's over your head because, when you're losing, you'll have no choice but to drop down to a smaller game. You can continue to sharpen your game at that lower limit until your bankroll allows you to move up and take another shot. These rules also prevent you from being completely decimated by a bad run of cards.
Dropping down and playing lower limits is difficult for a lot of players. They view it as a failure and their egos get in the way. Many want to remain at the level they'd been playing and win back their losses. But this can lead to some pretty severe tilt - and that can go through a bankroll in a hurry. I know that dropping down was difficult for me in my run from $1 to $20,000. When I first played in the $25/$50 game, I lost. Sticking to my rules, I dropped down to the $10/$25 game. I had a losing streak there and had to go down to $5/$10. That was tough. After playing $25/$50, a $5/$10 game was boring to me.
But I had the discipline to stick to my rules, and that motivated me to play better at the lower levels. I really didn't want to lose any more because I knew the consequences: I'd have to play even lower and work even harder to get back to where I'd been, which could take as long as a month. If you ever find yourself bored or frustrated playing at the lower limits, you're obviously not playing well. Take a break from the game. Often, stepping away can give you a fresh perspective and heightened motivation to play well when you return.
There are a couple of more tips I'd like to share regarding bankroll management. First, you should never play in a game that is beyond your bankroll simply because the game seems to be soft that day. It's never soft enough to risk money that puts your bankroll in jeopardy. The other point is that you should avoid playing in games that are at the top of your bankroll limits, when a lower game offers more opportunity for profit.
I'm confident that by sticking to these sound bankroll management rules, I'll make it to my $10,000 goal. These rules are sure to help you as well, as you pursue your own poker ambitions. So, if you want to start your own quest - or play against me while I'm continuing with mine - come open a free account at Full Tilt Poker and look for me online. But hurry, because I'm hoping I won't be in the lower limits for too much longer.

$$ POKER GREED $$
Well, I bet you can say that I am somewhat absolutely F'n pissed off! and I will tell you a great poker story about a certain Asshole that has Greed and stupidity written all over them. Its an age old story of Human Nature and GREED, pure and simple!
I owned a poker skin with a certain network and then switched to become partners with another skin owner on the same network! I would eventually run my forums Private Play Money Poker Tour games thru this skin while giving away my own money to all of my playing members. As my player member base grew on this network because of the direct efforts of myself, my forum partner Betty and my playing members. We grew from about 20 players to over 100 players in the span of 3 months. This whole time the actual skin owner was too F'n busy to be bothered with the whole thing! And was really doing nothing himself.
I decided to go back to my own skin and take only our own playing members whom by the way we had worked hard at recruiting. This has caused an absolute nightmare because all of a sudden this Idiot decides, we cant do that because you are his members!
Well I'm here to tell you. ***********PISS OFF GMAN.********
You are nothing but a Greedy ass lame Mf'n idiot! Don't ever come around my neighborhood of mess with my players because every single one of us will be leaving your Lame ASS Poker Skin and Site.
I do want to apologize to the actual Network Server and the support Team whose hands are tied, and I will just take my players to our new server since there is no Friggin way I or my players will stay there.
We will move on to better things because we don't have time to piss around with any of it. There are plenty of other poker sites out there !
OOPS- Did I say That out loud!!!!!
