So today I checked my e-mail, and found someone had sent me a message on youtube. No big deal, as I usually get a couple a day, but I was absolutely SHOCKED at what this guy said. It was in regards to my "online poker is rigged" parody video.
Now I'm used to getting ignorant and argumentative messages and comments, usually by rigtards of course trying to prove their point, but this guy really went overboard. So anyways, here's what mr. awesome had to say:
"You must be one of the administrators for some poker website spreading hilariously evil propaganda. There's no other way to explain your stupidity. Anybody who doesn't realize that online poker is f**ked up is either lying or has never sat down and played at least 100 hands of REAL live poker in their entire lives. You make me sick and I want you dead. "
I just lol'd and clicked the report button of course. My gf didn't think it was too funny, and said I should contact the police, but I was like "uhhh, it's the interwebz, who the f**k cares".
I highly doubt this guy would take take the time to track me down and come to my piss ant little town, just to take me out haha.
Later in the day, I got another e-mail:
"I like it man... good stuff... I am inspired to start making videos myself... I think I would be a good teacher... I currently coach 3 players who have all went from at best break even to at worst break even players (one is semi new and is atleast breaking even and winning from rakeback) but the other two are actually winning after years of losing... Thanks for the reassuring video! "
I love getting positive feedback like that, and every time I read something like that, it inspires me to keep making them

Posted by Administrator: "Haters gonna hate" is probably the easiest way to explain the message from that douchebag.
Maybe you can send some of your "associates" to take care of this guy for me, *wink wink* lol.
Well, I did my homework on the guy too, seems he spends a lot of time on YT, trolling. He's posted a lot of "colorful" comments on peoples videos. It's unfortunate, but even if they ban him, he'll just make another account.
I just LOL at how tough people try and get on the internet. Seriously, it's the interwebz, it's not like I'm scared or anything lol.

Hi Retribution. In GB we call people like the one who threatened you a twat!!! Obviously he is jealous because he couldn't put together a video of himself doing what people like him do all day. Fill in the blanks yourself !!!
Gl with your videos and take heart there is some decent people out there like the bloke who complemented you. Its a shame you are not a world wide name otherwise the police would investigate like they do for some dumb celebrities.
GL to you and all mobsters................................

I understand your girlfriend worries about the threat since she probably ain't aware of internet trolling/hate but that's hardly considered a big threat at the internetz hatin' scene. It's like a "punch in the face" kind of threat.
Sad dude probably lost all his money savings gambling pocket aces who got cracked by 32 off. Keep the good work by mocking them sore losers who think online poker is rigged and they were forced to play that specific hand by the evil ones inside their heads where they god bad beated.

From the looks of it, it doesnt seem any serious. I dont think its anything anyone should be alarmed off. The above threat or wish if you like is somewhat common in the poker tables

well your gf just cares about you- thats a normal thing regarding your videos- no matter what you will do there will always be dudes who will say that you are a piece of but they are just weak people- mentally sure, physically- good chance. i read somewhere a saying about haters, it sounded something like this: "don't worry if you have haters- even Jesus had a bunch of them", and looking at your avatar you are far from Jesus

Who really cares what messages do you get on youtube anyway lol
There is no need to worry about all this kind of messages that you get on social sites, thats one of the reason for which i enabled friend control on all of them.

Wow! That's an awful statement. I'm shocked to see such hatred be documented over such a small opinionated topic. It sounds like the individual needs to seek some type of mental assistance or maybe just stop and think about how serious such a statement is.
It makes you acknowledge just what type of people we have running around with twisted thoughts / minds. God Bless their souls!

In all fairness, he just said he wanted you dead, not that he was going to take action himself. He's like the opposite of a well wisher.
That's pretty funny though, what a tard ass. Plus he'd be all the more happy if he got banned, it's like positive reinforcement, it assures them that their activities were noticed and disturbed people.
but they are just weak people- mentally sure, physically- good chance. i read somewhere a saying about haters, it sounded something like this: "don't worry if you have haters- even Jesus had a bunch of them", and looking at your avatar you are far from Jesus
