Vince. You don't know me. I don't know you. But I really, really, really hate you. I hate you more than anything. Maybe I'm naive, but I don't believe it's possible for me to hate anything more... than you.


So let me ask. How much do you hate Vince Lepore?

I don't like Vince but I don't like you more for caring so much about not liking Vince. /images/graemlins/ooo.gif

i only glance at the WPT forum once in a blue moon, but he appears to have become a worthless [censored] disturber. occasionally he pops into other forums to do the same thing. hopefully he will get hit by a bus soon.

I dont think it matters what you think of him, you're already on his ignore list.

do you have a point? i was responding to the post here.

Everyone that replies to him gets added to his ignore list so I'm thinking that within a couple more weeks he won't be able to read anything that gets posted. I was hoping that might cause him to leave, or at least stop posting.

Nah not really. I just think it's funny that Vince ignores everyone who tries to respond to him. Soah elaborated further.

I really wish I had talked to you before I made this poll. You are correct.

I've had him ignored for a very, very long time. It's kept the hate down. But I had to go with option 6, because that's just a great answer.

It's almost 4 in the morning. I can't sleep. I'm a little hungry. And I still hate Vince Lepore.

I remember when I first started playing and reading 2+2, Vince was like a poker god in my mind. This is about 4 years ago, I knew nothing, and he was this Vegas pro. Wow, a real pro! Didn't Sklansky say he could be, or had the talent to be, "world class" or something? I dunno.

I read his posts when I come across them for nostalgia or whatever. There was a time when his limit holdem advice was as good as anybody's here. Now 2+2 is so big, poker has evolved so much, that the old school posters are gone or irrelevant.

He used to have his own forum. That's right, there used to be a 'Vince Lepore Forum' (though only for a short time). He used to post as often as you did when you were approaching your 10,000th post, and I found it quite obnoxious. About a year before Mason gave him his own forum I posted some sarcastic remark to him which he seemed genuinely hurt by. I instantly felt a sense of regret, so now I do my best to refrain from putting over-posting newcomers in their place (Not that he was a newbie at that point. It was around 1999, and I'm pretty sure he had been here longer than I.)

After Vince lost his forum he completely disappeared for quite some time. I always felt it was wrong of Mason to give him his own forum just to take it away so quickly; like it was only some sort of goof in the first place. Anyway he's back, primarily sticking to forums other than OOT ("Other Forums" was his main hangout, so I guess it brings back bad memories for him [understandably]).

Yeah, I read some posts from that guy. Every post he made said the same [censored]..."just get all you money in with the worst of it and suck out, that's what I do at Foxwoods...". Forget the game passing him by, he never got it to begin with.

How could such a useless and annoying poster get his own forum?

You'll need to ask Mason about that.

Believe it or not, Vince was pretty well liked up until and during the short time he had his own forum. Mason, Sklansky, and Zee were all on very friendly terms with Vince. Vince had such an unbridled sense of enthusiasm for posting that I guess it just seemed like a fun idea to give him his own forum. I remember jokingly scolding Mason for not adding the 'Vince Lapore' forum in the list of forums he was advertising in CardPlayer Magazine. In fun, Mason said it had slipped his mind, and I think he may have added it to the advertisement for an issue or two (I'd have to go through my old issues to be sure though).

Vince took having his own forum very seriously, and I believe he was truly crushed (at least for a while) when Mason took it away. I even seem to remember Vince posting an apology on 'Other Topics' for letting everybody down.

Like most people who post several times a day, he's a very sensitive person (yeah yeah yeah), wanting to share every thought that pops into his head. And like most people who seem to post too much, you'll often either like them or hate them. I had grown to like Vince up until he left, but I haven't read any of his posts since he's come back. You guys make it sound like he's taken on an abusive attitude. That's a shame.

Nope, you don't know Vince. These call out posts are garbage.

A. You make it sound like you will have an epiphany searching OOT.

B. I'm not calling Vince out. I don't even know him. What's there to call out. If you're one of those people who says "you probably wouldn't even say that to his face", you're right. I'd probably shake his hand, say "you're pretty annoying, but what can ya do" and go on my way.

C. I hope you at least participated in the poll.

no, of course I didn't respond to your poll. But I know Vince. You don't. And your poll is garbage.

Vince's rudeness and aggression all stem from his inability to accept his own homosexuality. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

What the guy needs is professional help, not a hatred post.

Poor Vince. (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=2122962&page=0&view=c ollapsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1)

Hey High Desert-
When i first started learning poker Vince was a regular and he was one of the group that i read whenever he posted (the site was much smaller then as you know)- so i took a year and a hlaf hiatus from posing/poker in general and i come back and hes gone (along with a lot of others). Then he shows up again- but he is not the same vince it seems. What happened?
