Insult Dan Druff at your own risk, my goodness!
Anybody else feel a bit weird that this man is dead and this is being posted about him without any ability for him to ever share his perspective?

It's a pain in the ass to handle the payouts, so I just bear down every so often and do them in bunches. Were this a for-profit site, I would be more diilgent about getting this out quicker, but since it's not, I just do it whenever.
I will be doing it this week most likely, possibly today.
I tried to invite him at one point to come to PFA and publicly share his gripes. He turned it down, saying this site was trash and he quit it in 2015. He wouldn't say who he was here, and wasn't clear whether he had an account or just lurked. He definitely had NWP/DD accounts, but again woulnd't say who he was.Quote:

Now that he's dead, obviously that's not a concern. I'd much have preferred he just showed up and hashed it out publicly, but I think deep down he knew his complaints weren't rational and he'd get clobbered here.
dude I'm not bitching about you, as you may or may not notice I'm not the one that brought this up. Vaughn thinks this is some type of ownage of me because he refuses to pay me the 375 I won from his fantasy league and wants to idk make me look bad or some shitQuote:

When I saw this post, he clicked in my mind. I recall him being way more active on previous sites. The main problem is it shows his last activity days after this dude died, but IÂ’m often logged in for a week when I come back to site. In his small amount of posts, he mentions being in that Shaun Deeb powerball drawing you mentioned, seems to mention Micon and that group with a familiarity. Not to read too much into the 27, half the posters were probably 27 when they found site, but the T with the 27 and being in that powerball pool. Longshot, and you may know who that poster is, but figured IÂ’d ask. I always like the forum history shit.
That would be amazing if he were tbuck27. Great catch if true.Quote:

I'm going to go with the initial read that it's a different guy, but I'm not ruling it out. I'll look at the IP info I have for him to see if anything matches.
Regardless, my history with tbuck is a little strange. I don't believe we ever met in person. If we did, I don't remember it. I do remember that when Micon and I had our falling out in 2011, tbuck oddly was VERY pro-Micon, like to the point of almost sounding like an attorney would if retained to argue Micon's side of things. This was despite the fact that I had always been nice to tbuck, and in fact at one point saved him from being banned on NWP when other mods were trying to remove him for stupid shit. Micon was apatethic about it, and I stepped up and overruled the other mods and said tbuck was staying, which in fact got them angry/resentful towards me at the time. tbuck thanked me profusely when it happened, yet was very negative about me just 2-3 years later, for no apparent reason.
After he registered on here, that seemingly died down, and he was just an occasional poster without anything too memorable occurring.
The "buck" part of his screen name would speak against him being Thomas Kasprovich/Davis, as you'd think a name like tbuck would represent "Thomas Buckley" or something like that. But maybe the buck is referring to money.
I'll look at some things and post my findings. I won't reveal tbuck's location on his IPs, but just will comment whether or not it matches this guy.

BCR you're a freaking genius.
It was tbuck27.
tbuck's last post in January 2023 had an IP which matches Thomas Kasprovich's location at the time.
And the e-mail he used to register? It contains "tkaspro" in it.
Wow.
Funny because aside from that weird situation where he was blindly defending Micon against me with nonsensical arguments, tbuck27 always seemed like a reasonable poster, and otherwise didn't seem to hate me.
He also was apparently lying about quitting PFA in 2015.
The weirdest thing? tbuck27 last logged into PFA on September 26, 2023. The obituary claims he died on September 20!
So either tbuck27's ghost logged in, his computer auto-logged in somehow when left on, or someone else going through his stuff logged in.
It is possible that whoever found him dead used his devices to see if they could reach someone close to him, to inform them, and briefly went on PFA to see what it was.
Now I'm going to have to look at tbuck27's old posts to see if they give any hint of his intense resentment toward me, which apparently was massive.
I do remember when I rescued tbuck from being banned in 2008 or 2009, he remarked privately to me that Micon was a real life friend of his, and he was "really disappointed" that Micon didn't have his back. I wonder if that was also a lie.
Anyway, tbuck27 went from nondescript NWP/DD/PFA poster to binoculars ATM thief and Dan Druff Twitter stalker. Who knew?
I read some of tbuck's posts. Seems like it was mainly the politics which slowly turned him especially against me.
Though look at this creepy post from 2015, where he remembered the date (including the year) I lost my virginity, and congratulated me on the anniversary of it.
Dude’s been dead months and has me reading his posts. I searched his name and saw he posted in a few long threads I wasn’t about to dig through, but saw a post of yours about that Ausmus dude. I seemed to recall that dude being friends with that Micon/Reggiman crew. That he chose to weigh in felt right. Then saw the powerball thread and just thought the t and 27 felt like a decent shot given it appears only 200 people entered pool.
Glad we solved it. Now I want to know if he’s the one that had Racine listed as his location on DD or NWP.
Assist to BB. Him finding that 2+2 post is what made it click for me.
He can rest in peace knowing he got an extra few months of trolling in.
One odd thing is how he didn't post in the Lafay thread at all. His last post here, in fact, was BEFORE all of that controversy started.
It's possibly because he didn't want to accidentally out who he was on Twitter. Clearly he could have told me he was tbuck27 if he wanted me to know that, but instead he was being both evasive and dishonest regarding his identity.
But you'd think if my speaking out against Jami enraged him so much, he'd have made at least one post about it here. He definitely had plenty of time to harass me on Twitter, including in DMs, about the matter.
I do wish I could go back in time and tell myself NOT to interfere with the tbuck27 banning in 2008/09. Had I just sat back and ignored it like Micon did, tbuck likely would have gone away, and that would have been that. Instead, my immediate restoral of his access (which also harmed my relationship with the other mods) enabled him to remain in the community, and eventually led to the psychotic behavior I got from him last year.
It seems like he was a very overweight, very lonely guy who developed some kind of obsession over the years with both me and Micon. However, with Micon it turned to admiration for the bitcoin stuff, and with me it turned into resentment. Very strange.
I have mixed emotions regarding this discovery of his PFA identity. One part of me is happy this mystery was solved. The other part of me is disturbed that a longtime member of this community, who seemed pretty much like a non-factor for the most part, turned out to have such intense resentment against me for no apparent reason.
Yes, excellent catch.Quote:

BTW, I've always gotten along with Ausmus. In fact, he occasionally listens to PFA Radio, and has commented to me privately about things he's heard. Nice guy, and I was happy to see his recent success. For many years after his WSOP score, he reverted to being a mid-stakes grinder, before finally blowing up huge.
Pretty sure the guy with Racine listed as his location was Badgersfan or something along those lines.Quote:

Its bigger than that... everyone who has never beefed with Druff will die, too.Quote:

I'd like to have a discourse on this because I'm legitimately curious; I also don't have too many friends---mostly by choice, but also because I'm an insufferable asshole.
Anyway, do most of the men here consider losing their virginity significant such as they remember the date it happened, totally insignificant or something in between?
For me, I consider it a totally insignificant event both now and when it happened. I'd say I have a better recollection of the first concert that I'd ever been to as compared to the day I lost my virginity; of course, I wouldn't even remember what year that was, except I just looked it up and it was 1996.
I suppose, 'Totally insignificant,' isn't absolutely true, but I'd consider it no more or less significant than most other things you do for the first time. Besides, not that it's some crazy huge number, but I had more sexual partners before being an adult than some men will ever have in their lives.
I think it was something that was highly prioritized by boys, around that age. The entire goal seemed to be to lose your virginity at the earliest age possible. I felt like fourteen was a pretty good showing, but there are a few kids who claimed to have lost it earlier than that---I was able to confirm one of those claims. Either way, job done, now I can get on with life. My only regret is not having any fucking clue what I was doing down there; I didn't have the internet, so I'd never seen any hardcore pornography. I had seen pornography with fully nude women, but none such that actually showed a woman with her legs spread. I remember thinking the vagina was lower than I thought it would be, lol, I thought it would be closer to where the urethra is and also that women just peed out of their vaginas.
Needless to say, I didn't perform very well. Of course, I learned from that and started to read on how to be better for next time. I got the second person that I ever had sex with off three times.
I have a good memory for dates, especially personally significant events to me.
I see you're a decade younger than me, but it seems the '80s and '90s were pretty similar regarding high school boys and sex. When I was in high school, just about every boy had two things he really wanted to do -- get his driver's license, and have sex (not necessarily in that order). The limiting factor, of course, was finding a girl willing to do it with you, especially if you were a late bloomer or unattractive.
I wasn't unattractive, but I didn't get the "older teen" look until I was just starting my junior year, at age 16.5. Prior to that I looked too much like a junior high kid, and I had a high voice to match, so I knew I had no chance with girls until that changed. Both my facial features and my voice changed abruptly over the summer before my junior year, so that was basically my starting point. I had my first experience with a girl (though not sex) about 6 months after that.
The date referenced by our friend tbuck (August 6, 1989) was significant to me not only because it finally happened -- something I had been waiting to finally occur for about 5 years -- but because a series of unusual events led to it finally occurring.
As I mentioned recently in a "quiz about Druff" radio segment, the first girl I had sex with coincidentally ended up in poker. My last contact with her was in the early '90s. She appears to only play occasionally, but she has Hendon Mob results ranging from the 2000s until somewhat recently. I don't know if she follows poker news or poker social media. If she does, she's definitely aware of my being part of the poker scene. If she hasn't seen a recent picture of me, I doubt she would recognize me around the poker room, as I look a lot different than in 1989.
I have a bad memory for dates and don't consider most things particularly significant. You're born, shit happens, you die. None of it really means anything, especially not on a large scale.Quote:

I had the opposite, 'Problem,' or whatever you'd call it. I got my first erection when I was in the third grade. I recall a girl who I found really pretty, at the time, but no sexual desire, because I didn't know what that was. Anyway, we always had to stand up when we were reading out loud, so it was her turn and I found myself staring at her ass (probably openly because I wouldn't have understood decorum at the time) and then, BOOM, first erection. I do remember that. I couldn't tell you the date, obviously. They never showed us the videos until fifth grade (by then, I was masturbating with regularity), so I had no idea what the fuck was going on. To give you an idea, I was 6'1" coming out of sixth grade and stopped at 6'3.5". Now my height rounds up to 6'3" as I lost a little.
Needless to say, I was all but an adult (physically) by the time I was fourteen.
It was also strange because I couldn't really get any help for this erection problem. One time (just before puberty) I was switching clothes and my dad had opened my door (my parents usually knocked) without me noticing; I don't know what the hell was going on with him that day, but he thought I was manipulating my equipment, so to speak---I ended up taking the belt for that one, even though I wasn't actually doing anything aside from changing clothes. I figured asking him what was happening would only result in more of the belt, so I asked the pastor; the pastor told me that it was Satan trying to poison my young mind with sinful and lustful thoughts; therefore, I should pray to God and I would no longer have the thoughts. I did try praying; it should come as no surprise that God (if he even exists) doesn't choose to personally intervene in a kid's biological functions, so that was no help.
