The question is who is Kev going to pick which games?

There are 8 NLHE games, 1 PLO/8 1 PLO and 1 7CS!

01: Flushy
02: Jen       
03: Rudders   
04: McIntosh
05: Pav
06: Booder
07: Belsize
08: JP         
09: Clothey
10: Dewi
11: Pab

Who do you think he should pick for each game?

Of course it doesnt really matter as we will win 11-0 (10-1 if we get unlucky)       

Lets just say..... you better start learning 7 card stud Flushy... you aint ready for holdem !!!

I think what flushy is trying to say is..........



Would it be morally and ethically in order to tell three internet qualifiers, who qualified by playing hold'em that they are now required to play games they are not familiar with, with the additional pressure that not only your fellow team mates are depending on you, a nation also expects  rotflmfao rotflmfao ;scarymoment;

Seriously I did hear booder is old enough to have played 7Stud although most thye team look so young they probably think 7Stud is one of Kev's DVD collection.

7 Card Stud, now there's a game!! :)

You play 7Stud Paul?

PS answer your mobile  :D

Just a question for anyone that might know - How good is JP at Omaha hi/lo?

What strategy would you adopt if you were Kev/Flushy/Jen...... Would you risk a very strong hold'em player at one of the other three events or would you keep them at their strongest game?

A lot of these decisions will depend on format and running order - for example, do you have to submit before the competition starts the names of the players that will play each event?

I personally think the first people given the NLHE games should be the online qualifiers (unless it was made very clear before they qualified that they might be expected to play a different game).

I'm presuming that the players have already been asked to express a preference and have all said NLHE?!

I guess it's just like taking penalties  :o you get your best players up first to give yourself a lead & put the pressure on the opposition. I'll expect Kev's management style is the opposite to Sven's  :D Good Luck guys

am currently playing 7 card cash , but never played it heads up

Mobile answered ;)

And yes, I play 7 card quite a bit (specially hi/lo) Nice little earner cash wise atm.

My plans for running order of the team are top secret at the moment, I will be holding a team meeting on friday evening where tactics and selection will be talked about.

My main priority is making sure the Internet qualifiers are playing a game which they are comfortable with, Although winning is important, it comes third on the list behind making a few bob for charity and everyone having a great time.

I may well pick the "better" (more experienced) players first..... God knows how late it will be before Flushy gets a game !!

I leave for Ireland tomorrow (Thursday) as there are a few last minute preparations we need to make to ensure that everything is in place for the comp.

I will be keeping a journal, and everything that happens in Dublin will be posted on here...  You will be kept updated on our progress, and we WILL BRING THAT TROPHY HOME !!!

Good plan boss man!

Hope you all have a great time in Dublin, make oodles of cash, and win it for GB!!

will you be wearing a blazer kev?         i think it is very important for the manager to look smart and set an example to the team

i was thinking more on the lines of a Jose Mourinho type coat :)

A donkey jacket?

And wellies :)

It would have been beneficial to run satalites in Omaha H/L and 7 card stud, I would have played them, I happen to love Omaha and 7 card

Any Jacket on Kev is by definition a Donkey's jacket!!!!

I'm all excited about the flying visit to Ireland - will be heading out early Saturday morning, which I've been told still gets me there in time.  Just about.  I just hope that the other team members won't have to be pushed out of bed as they've drunk too much on Friday...

gl in your tough decisions.  PS. I like hi-lo if no one else does.  CAVEAT: that doesn't mean I'm all that great at it  8)

Looks like you may have volunteered yourself for the hi/lo lol  :D


The names of the three players playing the non-NLHE have to be given to the TD at least one hour before the Tournament starts.

I am flying over to Dublin in a few hours - watch out for updates and video coverage from Kev and me from tomorrow.

I arrive in Dublin at 12.30 tomorrow... how handy is that !! Just in time for Dinner and a pint :)

just like 11.30, 1.30, 2.30 etc

There you go folks - a video series starting tomorrow - 'Eating and drinking in Dublin, Presnted by Colchester Kev'

Davey can i swap captaincy with Industructable in return for his world cup tickets?

My prediction.....

GB 10 Ireland 1

Is Indestructable agreeable to this deal?!?!

Tank surprise us - which member of TeamGB do you see losing?

Flushy if indestructable gives me his world cup tickets in exchange for the GB captaincy what will you do in Dublin all weekend?

Am looking forward to this weekend. I have been in munich all week for the world cup which started out really bad, but with germany and portugal getting knocked out in the last 2 evenings, things are looking up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ps, im an internet hold em donkey, no other games for me

Talk endlessly......

I will start you off on the whinging - it's going to be like Niki in BB7 (Big Brother who thought of 5k starting chips? Why I don't see the point? I would kill them. I just dont see why. Who was it? ..... etc. ad infinitum) - here is the structure and running order

5k Stack
15min levels
25/50
50/100
75/150
100/200
150/300
200/400
400/800 etc
2 matches per table with dealers
 
2pm 4 Holdem matches start
4pm 3 Holdem and 1 other matches start
6pm 1 Holdem (Mike v James) and remaining 'other' matches start

Want BlueSq to give me a spread on how many pairs of underpants Flushy gets through between 1400 and 1800 ;goodvevil;

I want them all to win, I thought I'd be conservative coz those Irish lads deserve respekt.

FLUSHY IS A BIG FIZZY FISH

HECTOR!!!!!!! Fantastic.

HECTORJELLY!!!!!!!

where's he been?  :D

He went off to Poland or somewhere equally odd :dontask: Sounds like it's going to be a fantastic event, I soooo wish I was going!

Cheers Tank! I knew you'd have faith in my ability to nick a point for our boys! woulda been a tad annoyed if you predicted an 11-zip shutout  :D

Personally,  I believe it will be a draw, I do not intend winning or losing

Me tooooooo :(

Dublin Airport was closed earlier due to a bomb scare (they are just trying to stop us getting in really!!) Its now open again thankfully and most of Team GB are in transit. I will be leaving soon aswell.

So on behalf of team GB thanks for the support guys'n'gals and lets hope we bring it home!

Was hoping to make it over for this guys, even sorted myself digs ib Beál Feirste from today til Monday and 2 mates where going to drive down in thr morning possibly stay in Dublin the morra night and back up to Beál Feirste on the Sunday morning.

But due to T in the Park I can't get any time off work the morra, I'm off today, Sunday and I could have got Monday off though!!  Pain in the rear end!!

Tell you what Kev, as it's a special occasion, you can borrow my plum Jacket. Wear it with pride, & remember who's it is. It should inspire you. I don't lend it to many people, I can tell you. You will need to insure it though.

will it fit?  ;scarymoment;

Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Lady Diana! Maggie Thatcher - can you hear me, Maggie Thatcher! Your boys gonna take one hell of a beating!  :D

 rotflmfao

I think the plane delayed story is just an excuse for the bottlers to chicken out  ;goodvevil;

 ;yellowcard;

Let's remember that in that hypothetical situation Tom Jones, Catherine Zeta Douglas, Flora McDonald and Robert Louis Stevenson will be taking one hellava beating too. :)

Ive not chickened out just needed a day at home after a week in germany to sort some stuff out before flying off to ireland, i arrive at 9am tomorrow morning, :-)
