Quote:About Me
Forum name? afromanGT
Age? 21
Location? Mostly Melbourne
TWG Refugee or 442 Citizen? FFT founding father.
Jersey Number and why? Probably Number 5 - that holding midfielder role always suited me.
Occupation? Croupier - Blackjack, Poker. Student.
What’s your postage like? Some drivel, owning douchebags, some more drivel, indignance at stupidity, some more drivel, something about boat people, Liverpool.
At what point did you realise you weren't going to make it as a professional footballer? Can you tell us a little about your amateur football career or any other sporting career?
I started out playing AFL football age 8, and the following season graduated on to playing rugby and association football. Just before my 11th birthday I broke my leg - two weeks before try-outs with a VPL team. That was the end of me playing competitive football.
Where are the burgers better? Hungry Jacks. Nothing better than a whopper at 6am after a night of drinking.
Tasty Beverage? Beer. Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer.
FM, FIFA or PES?
Football Manager. FIFA and PES just piss me off. The engineering and bugs are just frustrating. NO, I DID NOT WANT TO PASS THE FUCKING BALL ACROSS THE TOUCH LINE WHEN THERE WAS A PLAYER OPEN TWO METERS IN FRONT OF ME!
Who do you go to the football with?
Depends...sometimes with my old man, sometimes with the lads. But I don't go often anymore, put off by melbourne's shit-kent supporters and having to usually work
Liverpool
Favourite Liverpool player?
Graeme Souness - if I were to grow a moustache I'd look exactly like him. Obviously I have to say Roger Hunt as well.
Currently?
Back in the day it would have been Xabi Alonso. It's probably Gerrard right now, but I've got a bit of a soft-spot for Dirk Kuyt, the lad never stops trying.
Greatest Liverpool game?
25th May, 2005. 'nuff said.
Favourite Liverpool memory?
Watching Stevie G lift that cup in '05.
Worst Liverpool memory?
Right now, missing out on the title in 09 to United. But this season and last season are throwing up a few pearlers.
Funniest Liverpool memory?
An interview with Jamie Carragher where you can't understand a fucking word he's saying. (so most of them)
Favourite Liverpool goal?
Steven Gerrard v Olympiakos, 2005.
The Away Game?
What of it? WE can't win for shit on the road right now.
Active Support or the silent tactical analyst?
Depends on the game and how I'm feeling. Even if I'm shouting and singing I'm still watching the players and tactically analysing.
UK or European Terrace Culture?
I don't want flares in my beer.
Favourite Chant?
YNWA
And the rest
Favourite non Liverpool player?
Sergio Aguero
Favourite other clubs?
Atletico Madrid, MVFC, Celtic, Juventus.
The club you hate but secretly admire?
Chelsea.
Club or Country?
Clubs pay the wages, clubs keep the money in the game, clubs make the sport go. But national pride is still important. The balance right now is all wrong.
Other hobbies/sports/interests?
Music, Poker, movies, the occasional game, NFL, Formula 1.
Ideal woman?
Olivia Wilde.
Where would you take lady on a first date?
Depends on the girl.

Why would you do that to me? Ok, I'd Marry Rafa - that ECL title is still winning him plaudits :P
Julia Gillard - I'd fuck...well...I'd do the best I can with her enormous arse getting in the way.
And Germaine Greer must die.
Mus wrote:Whom is the person on 442 who's opinion is generally the most opposite to your own on most issues?
Probably seriously. Because he's a fucking idiot.
Mus wrote:Best live music venue in Melbourne?
I don't think we really have any great venues in Melbourne. It depends on the kind of band.
Mus wrote:Do you enjoy arguing with random people on others facebook statuses?
You know damn well I do. People take facebook too seriously. Stirring is so easy, and always hilarious.

When I have a headache I always think of JFK...
Mus wrote:Name one person on 442 with over 2k posts (that is not seriously) that you would ban from 442 if given the opportunity, and why.
Funky - because he'd do the same for me.

I think you show more maturity on here and are prone to the odd immature gaffe on facebook.

General Ashnak wrote:Why don't you come into AF and argue with some of the numpties who go in there any more? One of the reasons I stuck around 442 was because of your extended arguments being such solid gold reading material!
I find it to be incredible repetitive. Sometimes it's good to go in there and carve shit up. But things get kinda dull when it's the same idiots arguing the same points over and over.
General Ashnak wrote:Also, what has been the highest earning bluff you have witnessed as a dealer?
It's hard to confirm a bluff when most people bluffing don't show their cards. And when someone's bluffing the pot isn't going to be as big, since they're going to use a large portion of their stack to bet the other person out of the pot - so probably not much more than $500. The biggest pot I've pushed was over $3k on a $2/3 table.
Guest wrote:Have you caught any card counters playing black jack. What does Crown advise to do if you suspect somebody of counting cards?
I've caught several card counters. I used to do it myself on quiet tables, so it's easy to tell if someone chips up the bet at a particular time. Crown advises discretion and to not cause too much trouble. It depends on whether they're taking the whole table for a fuck-tonne of money and whether they're being a cunt to the dealer as to whether they get 'caught'...
Guest wrote:In detail explain pai gow and a winning strategy for it.
The best way to explain Pai Gow in layman's terms is basically poker with chinese dominoes (similar to Mah Jong). You recieve four tiles, from which you must form a high hand and a low hand - to win, your high hand must beat the dealers high hand, and your low hand must beat the dealers low hand. In terms of strategy, the bestt thing to do is bet on tie and load up your high hand. Pai Gow isn't a game where you make a lot of money though, since a tie win only pays you 1-10.
Guest wrote:What are the pros and cons of pontoon vs blackjack for someone looking to make money?
Pro's are that you get paid immediately if you get 21, so you can't stand off with a strong hand, ar crown there are also bonus payouts concerning HOW you get to 21 (say you get 7/7/7 or 6/7/8, you'll get paid extra).
Con's are that there are no 10's in the deck, so the likelihood that the dealer busts is much lower. Card counters will tell you that in a six deck game, your count already starts at -24, but this is silly because you're playing the same deck as the dealer so in essence there's no difference. I think Pontoon is an easier game to win.
Guest wrote:Three or four card poker?
It depends on the kind of poker. I prefer Omaha to Manilla.
Guest wrote:Texas Hold Em Limit or Texas Hold Em No Limit or Pot Limit Omaha 8 High low or Pot Limit Omaha High
I hate limit poker. I make a lot of money off NLHE, but I really enjoy playing PLO hi/lo.

I like Germany. Strong economy, good football, powerful allies, handy military capabilities.

I'd be very disappointed, but I'd have to accept it and be a public face of stoic-ness and dignity. Behind closed doors I'd rage and assassinate Bin Hammam and Blatter.
