Players you'd rather avoid

Now a lot of people on this site say Will Brewin should be avoided, because of his WSOP success. But I recall that Will only went to Vegas because his K8 beat my AQ when I had him covered! Well done afterwards Will - a lot better than I'd have done.

The players to fear on this site are Huuuuume and TheGrudge. I genuinely think they're the only two MTT players who are miles better than me. If you see these guys at your table, be very very careful.

I've never got this about Mr_Mbro. I've always felt as if I had his number. Loads of people rate him, but I just haven't seen it. Whenever I've played with him, he always looks a bit scared.

Madmoo is a good cash player, miles better than me, but not right up there with the best tourney players.

Having had the pleasure of watching MADMOO play in the sleepstacks when tikay is around, she is a very good tournament player, certainly if there is plenty of play in the touny.

Thank you Barry but I no I am nowhere near as good as half the tournament players on sky. I am still learning so hopefully I will get there.

that's it you just keep under the radar

Personally i dont feel i am afraid to play anyone on sky! If a player is tight i will bully them, if they are aggressive ill let them keep stealing then when i get a hand i will slow play them till they usuall go all in!

 Dont look at any name and think "Oh No" especially in deepstacks... hence why iv won 2 of the £20 deepstacks and the 1st Tikay sleepstack so far

Flash, its not that simple m8. Some players out there are v tricky, i.e they are tight, agressive, basically anything they want to be, they mix it up, make great moves and confuse players. These "unplayable" players as i call them deserve respect, and while like you i dont fear any player, i do appreciate that sometimes i will be outplayed.

My own personal opinion is that I would prefer to play all these players... they may outplay you at times, but they know how to play poker the proper way and makes the game more enjoyable...! The players who don't really know how to play, too me, are the most dangerous...!

Yes im aware of that greg, and im sure on many occasions i have been outplayed, but same the other way, i have senced people trying to "outplay" me so i have double bluffed and bluffed the bluffer on many occasion, i feel even though i can be ABC and a tight player i do actually make quite a few moves that get a lot of respect because of my image.

 As you know im confident about my game and i feel in the long run in a deepstack i can get reads on all players and bar being card dead or a bad beat i can beat anyone on here (sorry if that sounds big headed but i play with confidence, its the only way)

Yes confidence is a good thing and i'm confident in the 22 sleepstaks too and also have a good record. I actually think we are on the same wavelength because id like to believe that we both know what were doing:)

TinkrBella

huuuuume is definitely one of the best mtt players on this site.  i try to avoid him/her both in cash games and mtts cos they seem to know what i have and make every decision i make really difficult.

i think there are lots of good mtt players but i definitley agree with the original poster

i cant believe that sharksbite has not been mentioned yet.. she is definately one of the best mtts players on this site, along with the swiss who also has not been mentioned..

Hi Guys,
I dont see this as the right question, as i dont have anyone on the site that i would avoid.
Now if it was a question of who do i respect that is totally different.
I think it is dangerous to say who you fear or give any comments on other players, and as ive had a positive and negative comment on this thread, im in a good position to say this, as when i play these 2 players im not going to think im any better or worse than them or try and play any differently than normal.
The last thing i will say on this, is, the other day i played in a field that included, J Aikenhead,K Marenhlotz,K Oconnel,M Smyth,J Kalmar, S Davis and other pros and came 16 th out of 86 and didnt feel intimidated, so if i can do that then NOONE on Sky will intimidate me.
There is a saying every dog will have his day and that is whats good about poker.

Spot on Colin... yes there are many players on here i respect, but like you i fear none, if you sit at a table and think "oh No" you have lost before you even start... Last night i sat on my opening table of the deepstack with Sharky, Greg and SoLack ... who we all know are very good players... i did think this is going to be hard, but if you play scared poker, then you are already half way to the cash point

This is quite an interesting post and maybe I'm a little naive but I never really look at who I'm playing against. Unless it's a regular name that you can have a chat and banter with I just play and take little notice of who the opponents are.

That being said, when you do come up against a good player I think it is generally easier to play them becasue they make the right moves and are therefore a little more predictable.  Mostly....

I agree with the post by Applemac that bad players are the hardest to play against.

Inexperienced loose aggressive players because unless you have a straight, flush or trips you'll very rarely know where you are in the hand, is your two pair good when you've been raised on every street etc.
