Comment on Romanian Poker Championship – the failure of poker stars in Romania? by Petre Nicoara

First of all, Radu, you kinda have some errors in your spelling: “commnet, Probobly, succesfull, corect, Marriot, carefull, experiance”. Most of them are key words in a conversation.

now, let me answer you in the order of the questions:
1. This is a personal BLOG, and probably i haven’t got any profit in writing this
2. Can I ask you how can be a Federation without any affiliate Casino/Poker Associations to form it? Usually there are 10-12 associations and organizations forming a federation, of whatever it’s purpose is!
3. It wasn’t the first Romanian tournament, and if you know the meaning of the term “tournament” can you tell me where the second stage is held? And when ? The event mentioned in the article IS NOT A TOURNAMENT. EPT is a tournament, WPT is also a tournament !
4. If you’re referring to the Marriott Casino & Hotel in Bucharest, the answer is yes. Also you’ve said “if you need more information and … ” – who are you again and what is your role in the whole thing, you kinda forget to mention that?!
5. You should check my background out then tell me that i don’t know anything about poker. Probably I was in the industry when you learned from papers around casinos and online gambling, but that’s just a cheap shot.

Also, for future dealings and references, try to take the statements in this article as something that you and your partners need to correct in the tournament, a different view from someone that is involved in the poker industry and sees your actions from a slight different angle- neutral one.

I have pointed a few facts that your PR and Marketing managers should have taken in consideration (like the fact of keeping secret for almost a week Daniel Negreanu’s non-participation on the event) and also given your development and planning team a few tips for your next events (if you will have).

Also, if you notice, this article is mainly about PokerStars and it’s image in Romania, not about your federation.

After i read your article about the tournament ,i consider you are not the person who can commnet about poker where you do not have any knowledge about it. Probobly someone rent you to write this article and to get some profit yourself on it.If you are not sure what it is about Federation of Poker we will sue you against court and to ask you apologize from us.Because everything what you write above are false.It was an succesfull tournament even the first one to be,of course there are some action that we changed the place,are corect but the world trade center saloon was much bigger and nicer area than Marriot.Do you know Marriot ? do you know where the tournament suppose to be? So next time when you write an article be carefull than what you write ..If you need more information and CORRECT ONES… send me an e-mail than i can give you all documents about federation,tournament to make an first experiance about the poker for you….As i sad you are rented person who do not know P of the Poker….

… and here’s the competition: Orange (ex-Dialog) sent me, through a 3rd party, a sommation because I did not pay in 2002 (that’s 8 years ago folks) the sum of 4 ron (1 EUR).
Yep, Romania corrupts everything!…

PS: nice blog, Petre, congrats!

The Indiggo twin sisters are super smart and one can easily notice that they are very talented. Here they are playing a role. And they do it great. Show me other twins more gorgeous and with more drive than them.

Comment on 10 reasons why you should NOT invest in Romania by Petre Nicoara

Petre Nicoara — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:31:17 +0000

I agree, for some countries is the people. But for Romania, the people in charge are doing everything to ruin it. Everything. Corruption is everywhere, from the small town 1$ to $1.000.000+ bribe, it’s on TV, on media, everywhere. People are rotten, they are ready to give up life long friendships over a glass of wine, there’s almost no trace of humanity in most of them.
I agree that Romania has God given landscapes and generally is a wonderful area to live in …. if you have no neighbors at all. I also agree that you can turn out 100% profit within a year, but that profit is taken because there’s no law or institution that can control your activities. There’s no active civil society organization and all the state employees are either incompetents, either don’t care about you, the person that comes with a problem that they can solve.

If people stay away from Romania, they won’t invest in it. If they invest, the bureaucracy will drive them mad. Or make them pay the corrupted people to get some things moving; papers, plumbing or anything else. Constant corruption on every level, that’s what Romania’s made for. You wanna succeed in this country? get yourself a million bucks, make a business with 100k and rest of 900k give it to the politicians as bribe for your business; they will return you the money, with 300% rate and propose you businesses for another 10-20 millions, with money taken from state budget, from EU or from funds that should modernize the country.

And yes, ofc I have issues with my country! Why? Because I’m ashamed today to call myself Romanian, I would be more happy to pass as some African country citizen. And like me are millions of Romanians.

You have some issues with Romania. I think that goes without saying.
It’s easy to point out the bad things about any country. How long has been since you’ve been back ?
If you hate a person or a system you shouldn’t identify a country with your hate feelings. Especially not the country you are born in…
I think there are wonderful things in Romania and there is no person that I’ve ever met here in US that would not go back today if they would have a similar life back home. Home for every each one of them is the place you hate and criticize.
I’m sorry you feel this way and I’m more sorry that you make it sound like the final and ultimate truth. There are many angles and you are free to say what you want but people might take it as good and this would really suck.
You don’t make a point about NOT investing in Romania but rather you people to stay away from Romania. Why? Most of the investors that pursued a business in Romania have doubled their money in a few months. Any where else would take a life time for the same returns.
I know you are probably not going to post my comment as I’m sure you had some other opinions shared with you after your post. I don’t care. This was just to let you know that blogs like this are hurting not only the country but also the people that could help change the exact things you hate.

Paris Hilton went to jail for having a drink while driving; she made 30 days of jailtime. Our Monica will walk free.

Same as Adrian Paunnescu’s wife; difference is that Paunescu’s wife killed 3 people

Monica Iacob-Ridzi will be lucky if she is not going to jail. Maybe we will change…
