The Sky Poker vs the World (Series of Poker) - Scouting Thread
In 2011 a crack commando unit was sent to Las Vegas by an online poker for a chip-pillaging they are yet to commit. These men promptly escaped from a conversation about mallards with Tikay to the Rio poker tables. Today, still chipped by obliging poker players, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Day 2A Team...
Your mission: Scout out these suckers (at the table) who have to put up with Peter and Andrew for Day 2a. Get as much information as you can; previous cashes, online aliases, what they had for breakfast. With the combined intel of the Sky Poker Community, frankly we're gonna pity the fools...

Ok ive started digging around for any info that may be valuable:
ADAM ROSS:
He wrote an Ebook on Poker and states that it is a game Of Skill... Ok nothing there but he goes on to say that he is an 'EXPERT' is spotting weakness in players faces and uses this to gain chips when he has little or no hand. He goes on to say that if he sees as little as a FROWN or SQUINT in the eyes of an opponant then he goes in for the kill and this is his SKILL..
Heres his discription of a hand he played, there is something interesting that he says in his Ebook also..
This is day two of the Legends of Poker No-Limit Challenge at the Bicycle Casino in SouthernCalifornia. Of the original 100 entrants—mostly top pros, but also a few amateurs like me—27players remain. With $55,000 in chips after day one, I’m in second place. I’m playing extremelywell, and at this point, anything less than a top-10 finish will be a disappointment.We’re about an hour into day two, and I’m treading water. I haven’t played many pots, but I’vemanaged to steal a few blinds here and there. We’re down to about 20 people.It’s my turn to bet, and I’m first to act. I look down at a pair of eights—not a strong hand,especially with so many people yet to respond. But I want to mix it up a little bit. So I raise.Barry Greenstein calls. Everybody else folds, and I’m heads-up against a guy I’ve seen on TV
hundreds of times. On the outside, I’m trying to play it cool. On the inside, my stomach is doingsummersaults.The dealer shows the first three cards, collectively known as “the flop”: Queen of Hearts, Jack ofClubs, Jack of Diamonds. Not a good flop for me—not only did I get no help for my pair ofeights, but all three cards are higher than what I’m holding. If Barry has a queen or jack, I’m waybehind. Undaunted, I put out a bet anyway. Maybe I can make Barry fold; after all, he doesn’tknow how weak I really am. Barry immediately calls.
Darn, I think to myself, I’m beat. So unless the next card is an eight, I’m done with the hand—Igave it a shot, and it’s time to retreat and live to fight another hand. The next card is Four ofSpades. Again, no help to me. So I check. Barry puts out a medium-sized bet. Before folding, I atleast pretend to think about it. The term on TV is “Hollywood-ing” it. I stare at Barry for a littlebit and act like I’m trying to “read” him. Of course, Barry has a textbook poker face—he’s astatue from whom I glean absolutely nothing.At this point, with a pretty good pot developing, I see out of the corner of my eye that TV crewsare starting to gather and film the hand. My adrenaline is going faster and faster. As I startthinking about the hand, something occurs to me: How many times on TV have I seen Barry calla bet after the flop (first three community cards) with a bad hand just to steal the pot after theturn (the card after the flop)? Maybe he’s trying that move on me. If I can bully him out of thepot, I’ll not only build my stack, but I’ll also show these pros that I can play back at them. This ishow you win tournaments, outplaying your opponents when you have inferior hands—famouslyknown as bluffing.
So, against my earlier instincts, I don’t fold. Instead, I put in a big raise. There’s a gasp at the table among the players and the media folks—this is not what people were expecting, especiallyfrom an unknown amateur. Barry thinks for a minute or two. “Please fold, please fold,” I’m silently pleading.
Barry looks at me and finally exclaims, “All in.” I’m sick to my stomach. At this point, I don’t even Hollywoodit. I quickly fold, exposed as an incompetent bluffer, and I’m now crippled with a small stack. Afew minutes later, I get knocked out in 16th place. Why couldn’t I have been more disciplined and simply folded that hand against Barry? Or, to theextent that I decided to bluff, why didn’t it work? These questions haunted me for severalmonths after the tournament.
Ok so is there anything there? i can tell you that in his Ebook he mentions 4 times his DIRECT STARE at the opponentnt when he is bluffing and he advises that this is perceived as a sign of strength by opponents... Hmmm NOT ANY MORE ADAM! and he also goes on to say how he is again an EXPERT at reading weakness and will exploit it with a bluff.
SO... If you get a good hand in against him, watch for the stare and try and throw in a few oscar winning twitches and frowns and you may just get a few more of his chips in the pot???
Ok now onto the next one and ive found some stuff but I may need a dutch translator...
Ok Jesper Wetemans:
Here is his total tweets from DAY1... maybe some starting hand? Tactical help.. Ive had to use a Dutch translator.. (online, not a random person)

Ok I drew a blank on Doninic Ricciardi apart from the fact that he is a Doctor from Vegas.....
He is a physician who specialises in Weight and Eating Disorders?????????
Ummmm Maybe a few fat jokes to tilt him....??? Or just ask him some advice on something weight/eating related and freak him out... 'Who is this guy and how does he know so much about me??' TILT
Ok David Lin....
David is an advanced student of maths.. he prides himself on having a PURE MATHS brain.
He is a computer.. ummm Gee *Cough enthusiast and wrote and owns the rights to the NO1 Heads Up Simulation programme in the world.. Called rockhopper... Heres some updates he made to it in 2009...
After the 2009 competition, I made numerous improvements to Rockhopper:
OK YAWN....... BUT....... He goes on to mention in 3 publications that the use of mathmatics is paramount to his game and he would RATHER LOSE A POT BY GOING FOR THE BEST MATHAMATICAL OUTCOME than folding a hand.... WOW
Catch him on a broken flush/straight draw and your onto a winner!
