He's looking for an early double up then hopes to be able to run deep in it. A very good field playing.
Tune in and support a fellow amateur player who's Freerolled his way to a GTD $50k and could go a lot further
where did he enter the freeroll?? thats immense is he short stacked then??
Peter Vasiliu was the worst player to enter the tournament, nevermind make the final table! He has 2 moves, all in or fold, N the first of the 2 only happens if he has JJ QQ KK AA OR AK. Wud be terrible if he won it.
If he wins the tourny tonight the other players shud be ashamed of themselves, mind if u steal 15 of his bbs in a row, and the 16th time you try and steal it he gets AA n moves all in, ya priced in to call, he ends up even. If he doesnt get any big pairs he has absolutely no chance of winning. And that is no chance whatsoever.
If u cud garentee me he doesnt pick up queens kings or aces, I would lay 10,000/1 on him winning it.
I thought durr was gonna do it for us LAG's out there but he got cold decked last night, a great play by akenhead, n a donk from antonio.
I'm dreading swartz winning, although being the big stack he has every chance.
Anyone know what level the blinds start at on the final table? If I knew that i'd be able to predict a winner. But unsure what the blinds are gonna be, I have to go for Aikenhead with the stack he has, his all round game, and particuarly his ability to adapt to situations and move up and down the gears.
Not mentioned Helppi, hes not gonna make any mistakes, if he has position on Vasiliou, he could be come a big player as well.
Can't wait!! Brilliant having live poker on TV! Just a shame durrr isnt there
DOHHH
Say you don't think he's going to win if thats what you feel but whats with all the aggresion about a hobiest amateur who's done well to get into a Major Final? I hope he does win, it's nice to see the little guy make it sometimes.
Course 50k is more than i've ever won, ridiculous reply.
Wenger knows how to play brilliant football and can tell his players how to do so, but he cant do it himself.
Freddie Roach is a brilliant boxing trainer, but I bet hed get knocked out within 25 seconds.
Theres knowing what to do, then being able to / having the chance to do it.
And I wud argue that I myself, and alot of players on this site, are better than peter vasiliou at poker! Without a doubt. He has no game, or at least if he has, he hasn't shown it. The commentators have summed it up, hes out of his league, and definately out of his depth.
Im not denying he's done well to get where he has. And if I was there instead of him, I'd do whatever I could to win the tourny, not 4 bet with 7 high or whatever it was you suggested. But i wouldnt sit there folding all night.
Happy medium, hes got the PERRRFECT chance to take advantage of his image tonight, no doubt the opponents will know he is the rockiest rock since rocky. Wud love to see him come out n show some game/skill.
But cnt see it sumhow!
DOHH
Just looked at the odds 35suited....14/1 online fulltilt qualifier?? Surely sum1 hasnt been given a bye to the FT??? Whats that mean?
No fully sure on that but i seem to remember reading it somwhere
In response to your other post,
Your not doing a Wenger Or A Freddy Roach, they teach people how to win, you had a pop at somebody who has already got through a min of 5 tournies to get where he is. His normal game would be nothing like what you've seen on TV but let's face it, against the line ups he's had to play in which include Poker Million winners, Schwartz, EPT Title holders ETC your hardly going to play the way you do at £1 / £2 NL are you?
He's had some words of wisdom from Channing who is one of Britains best and i hope he can relax more. What ever way you look at it, it's a big payday and a great acheivment for a Nice Guy
Yeh hes done brill, shame he hasnt got the self belief to go and show the world what he can do. His image is so perfect going in.
Dnt expect me to agree with u about channing, hes so poor its unreal. He uses TIKAYS deepstack strategy to try and win a short stacked STT. Why hes been commentatin is beyond me. Brindley has the ideal game for this format, hope hes on tonight.
N the other 6 players, played a semi to determine their chip stack going into the FT, so how can they justify letting a qualifyer in? and how many chips will he have? Im guessing from his odds, (14/1) hes gonna be starting with 100,000 chips?
He wudnt be as big an outsider if he had an average stack surely? hed definately be a shorter price than P.V!
DOHH
P.S, I've never played at £1/£2 in mi life
Channings won over $2m in tournaments including the Irish Open, He's got 17 WSOP cash's, Own's his own poker site and is a regular high stakes cash player
But we'll agree to disagree
Im very impressed by DURRRRR both online and live. I think Negranu is undoubtably the best live player in the world. Ivey Has a consistant game, but I wouldnt go overboard about it.
The best STT player with the common TV structures is Roy Brindley, he knows it inside out. I used to put Frazer in the same catagory but hes been poor the last half dozen times i've seen him.
So in short I think the best 3 poker players in the world, are NegranUUUU, Durrr and myself, probably in reverse order!
DOHH
Good luck to the qualifier tonight, will need the cards and I hope he gets them. Obviously has some game to qualify for a tournament of this magnitude through a freeroll with thousands of people.
Imagine if DOHHH got put in a cash game with the bright lights of the poker world and was staked for the game, and then he had to read comments like his own berating his play and hoping he loses...bad form IMO.
They cud stake me and u to play heads up prime time on a friday night Sky sports one davey.
How many people wud watch dya reckon?
Its a premier poker tourny, Im looking forward to watching some proper, high class poker!
I hope the rock gets kk first hand and runs into aa, course I do, who wouldnt?
Gunna be fun watching him fold all night innit!
DOHH
Maybe he can't out play the pro's, so good on him for being patient and getting the chips in preflop ahead...sound advice for anybody out of their depth in a tournament.
Of course he can outplay the pros!!! How daft can u be to make a comment like that! Whats stopping him doing so? honestly please tell me why he cannot outplay the pros in a 1 off game?
DOHH
