[CHIPPYMAN]

Great post Doobs .

Played some UKIPTS, 1ks, Monte Carlo's, ISPT, etc etc.

The toughest table I've had was my 1st table on day 1 of GPS Newcastle, and by quite a way the softest table I've ever been on in a comp over £50 was my last table of that same GPS Newcastle with less than 30 left in.

Cliffs: Poker is a stupid game.

I saw everything yday, people 10xing, someone limping every hand of the first level, people getting in 100 bigs on Js7s5d with QJ. I saw someone call 2 huge bets to hit a gutshot. These were losing plays in terms of $ev, but a few fellows making what in my opinion were losing plays were there to have a punt and a good time. There were also players there who were trader on some sort of stock/equity market tried hard to play their best. They had experience and concentrated on making the best play. Hopefully, I have more skill and make less mistakes then them, or they punt a touch towards the end of the day. Saying the field is soft is simply a way of saying I am confident I am a winner. I've described the 530o8 as soft on stars, this isn't quite true, it is a tough field with some soft spots whereas the Saturday 55 o8 is literally full of people that havent played the game before. Its pretty much a semantic issue/arrogance/overconfidence, but who thinks they are shit at their job at the end of the day.

Just spoken to Alex at DTD and he understand that I don't have a dig at him. Spoken to Richard to remove the thread . He will look I to it if it's offended anyone . It was meant to be a question which I wanted to ask ages ago .

Anyone offended must be thick or really thin-skinned Frankie

You haven't offended anyone mate.

We're adults, not babies, this isn't the daily mail, I don't need telling if I should be offended or not.

The thread is fine, Frankie, absolutely fine. Some good points been addressed, too. Some players will probably choose their words with more care in future when selling action, too.

Much prefer the field is soft, rather then calling players fishes tbh

I dont find it dis-respectful at all, as people have said anyone can win a tourney and its just really to confirm it was the right decision to play a tourney.

How does saying it is soft confirm anything, except to the chap who says it?

As the reader, and potential buyer of his action, it says the complete opposite to me. I don't need him to tell me how soft he thinks it is, I will make that judgement.

Gotta disagree on that last point Tikay, often the seller will want to make buyers aware of all the factors that he believes will make it soft.

A good proposal imo will say that it's a good value investment because of x, y and z. You might not be aware that the WSOPE event clashes with GUKPT Luton so that'll mean lots of the very good UK regs like Cody, Lewis etc won't be playing, making the field softer. There might have been a £20 mega satellite with 50 seats in the casino the night before.

These are factors that'll make it softer, so the horse would be wise to include those in his staking proposal to make the buyers who might not know, aware.
