On another forum i use a debate is running regarding a couple of plays/angles from the GPS. Below are the blogs that were made.

The Will Kouseff show continues despite his table being broken up. He calls a raise from an UTG player of 2500, for Ash Miah to then reraise to 7500. UTG passes and Will starts to drone, and is completely ignored by Ash.
"talk to me Ash, have you got a pair? If You have a pair you are ahead man, but I have outs. Don't know whether to ship it now or wait for a low flop and ship it" Will then makes the call for 5k more.
The following flop is about as far removed from a low flop that you can get!
Will says "Bad flop. bad flop for you Ash with your pocket nines"
Ash doesn't seem to think so and ships his remaining stack over the line. Will asks him if he's sure, Ash just lets his chips do the talking and Wil, fed up with zero response, eventually folds.

There's reasons why some people play online only, and occasionally those reasons revolve around the fact a person is so annoying he is liable to be beaten up in most casinos after a certain length of time.
Will Kassouf is living proof of this.
The only surprise is that he is still alive, as surely the odd poker player or ten must have had a go at killing him in the past.
Like a kid with ADHD who has forgotten to take his Ritalin, he is running a monotone commentary throughout a hand with Priyan de Mel
The flop was 8 high, Will has bet the flop and Pryian has called then checks the deuce on the turn.
Will launches into a full diatribe about it's a waste of time him betting as Pryian is never calling on that board, how he can never make another call there with Ace high and eventually - I'm talking about 3 minutes later - says give him a free card.
The dealer puts out a ten on the river and Pryian checks. Will hasn't stopped for breath during this process and continues, saying to Pryian, "Don't even think about callin me with ace high Pryian, Ace jack is no good here mate,how much have I got to put in here to make you fold, I can't believe you are even thinking about making a hero call, what have you done called me on that flop wuith J 10? wow that's amazing that you would call me with that.. and so on"
Eventually he throws in 12.5K into a 14K pot and says "twelve and a half to make you laugh" - three times. "No shame in passing, don't be a hero, lay it down" until Steve Watts snaps and shouts "Clock". Well it sounded like that anyway.
The dealer calls the floor and explains Will has been talking for at least two minutes and the TD puts a minute clock on Pryian who then folds after 30 seconds.
Will shows one card only - an eight, and the TD asks Will to come outside with him for a word, which Will says he will after he's looked at his cards. TD asks the dealer to deal him out but he still tries to grab his cards, although semi joking and begrudgingly leaves the table to be given a 3 hand penalty.
He then comes back from the ticking off =, points at Steve and shouts "I only got three hands, you got a complete orbit, I made you orbit, I only got 3 hands" then proceeds to stand behind his seat and still keep on talking.
At times like these, would an acceptable floor penalty be a gag or simply headphones for the other nine players?

Stevie Watts is on a full round penalty with fully slapped wrists for going into the muck and taking Will Kassouf's cards out.
Will and Steve got in a pot where Steve hit middle pair with top kicker, and knew Will was going to shove all his chips in regardless of the flop.As he thought, Will did exactly that, and Stevie had to decide whether to call.
he asked Will if he would show him if he folded, Will swore on his own life he would show him, if Stevie showed first.
Stevie duly folded and showed his pair, Will then mucked his cards face down!
Stevie whipped them back out of the flop, floor was called and he's out for a full circuit. Meanwhile the hand of God could come for Will anytime soon.
Stevie Watts opens on the button for 1K, Priyan calls in the BB.
Flop runs out K 2 J, Stevie bets 2300 and Priyan passes.
Will Kossouf tells Stevie to show the bluff as it's good for the game.
Stevie tells Pryian he's glad he didn't try 3 betting him again as he would have had to get it in that time with AK.
Priyan looks uninterested and says nothing, so Will takes up the challenge:
"You had AK there?"
Stevie: Yeh I did
Will: nah, you had AQ. You bet a gutshot.
Stevie: yeh, that's why I bet it
Will: You bet anything though.
Stevie: yeh i do bet anything that's true.
Priyan listens to the whole exchange with an unreadable expression on his face, giving just a very very slight shake of his head at the end of it all.
As people are aware im a huge fan of Genting and the work they do even the lobby and d/c fiasco are slightly bearable. But the sentence i have highlighted in red i find utterly disgusting. I just wish i had been made aware of this blog entry before i bigged up the entire tourney and its staff in the Genting Survey. I am even going to go as far as saying that i hope the blogger of this entry is dealt with in a disciplinary manor! _________________ "There's not enough hippies to save our lives, We need more hippies"

Thanks for pointing that out Jon, action will be taken. Which site is the debate on so I can post a response? _________________ AKA: Gary Oakes

Is Will Kouseff the one who looks like Tyres from Spaced? And does the Ali G impression constantly?
Yes Sean that's him.
Jon - I'm absolutely mortified if my post has upset you for some reason, and can't apologise enough.
When you requested me on FB, after you were banned from the live chat for profanity and more, you apologised to me, which I completely accepted and explained to you that it wasn't in any way personal, as we had never met. Part of my job is to admin the live chat, along with Michelle and Dom, and if anyone behaves in an unacceptable manner, and then refuses to heed warnings, they get a ban. This is done purely to save upsetting the other users of the live chat, not to have a go at you specifically.
At that time you were aware that I and only I write the live blog and so calling for a disciplinary for "whoever" wrote this is odd, unless of course you forgot it is my job.
Either way, can you explain to me what it is you find so offensive and I will try my very hardest to make amends. Obviously my post isn't derogatory to anyone with ADHD, it's only derogatory to Will Kassouf, who I believe has a great sense of humour and takes the banter well (as well as giving it lol)
Whatever the reason you are so upset, if you can define what is "disgusting" as you said, I really will do my utmost to put it right. None of my blogs are intended to offend or upset anyone, and I wasn't aware there was anything in that post that could affect anyone, other maybe than Will that is.
If you feel I am being in some way derogatory to children with ADHD, please be aware that a. I wasn't and b. my own daughter has dyspraxia. While this isn't something I particularly want to get into on a public forum, as it our private family business, I am mentioning it so you can see that logically I would never, ever be offensive about ADHD, dyslexia, autism or related conditions.
Either way, I hope you will accept my heartfelt apology, the same as I accepted yours when you offended quite a lot of people in live chat, and we can put this matter to rest. Thanks.

Agreed

Have never been aware the you and only you do the blogging, i assumed the blog was written by a few differnt people as its quite a huge task covering 15 tables to blog.

It's a metaphor being used to try and make some writing a little more vivid. A symptom of ADHD is to talk excessively. I don't think it comes across as derogatory to childrenor anyone with ADHD.
I wonder if the same offence would be taken if the blogger had said that he "swore like a tourettes sufferer". _________________ @oneshotbobby on twitter

The matter is now closed as far as we are concerned, the blog has been edited, I agree it was a shade out of line, and an alternative way of describing the player behaviour would have been preferable, however, whats done is done (and deleted!).
Lets move on and start talking about the wonderful news of the Last Longest Promo for Edinburgh.....now that IS worth talking about. _________________ AKA: Gary Oakes
