Post by: bobby1 on February 07, 2006, 04:23:08 PM
Ok guys feast your eyes on this beauty.

Tonights heat features the following players

Ram Vaswani
Joe Beevers
Andy Black
Luke Smith
John Kabbaj
Julian Thew
Iwan Jones

and one of the most fascinating online qualifiers Simon Wolf, this guy has a great game and trades markets for a living after giving up his job to care for his mother. This guy really made me proud.

If thats not one of the best line ups you could wish to see then I am Anne Robinsons aunt.Oh.....and watch out for 'how to play those small  connectors' by Mr J Thew.

ps Do not miss the start!!!

Enjoy guys

He has had some nasty outdraws. Good lay downs against Andy B and Ram V

Ram is destroying the table!!

I really like watching Andy B play.  He talks a good game when providing commentary and also plays a decent game.  The fact he is from the old country gets him some extra points in my book but I hope he wins!  But I don't think he will.

Not been impressed by Ram trying to bully the new guy!  And I think Simon has been quite weak laying down a few hands that he should have been more aggresive with.

When I grow up, I wanna be like Ram.

Ram was excellent, though Iwan should have called with top pair when heads up vs Ram.
He even sad that he though Ram was on a flush draw, and THEN laid it down.

I am watching this in the morning.

When did Joe Beavers go out?

Post by: Indestructable on February 08, 2006, 08:42:23 AM
Had to feel for Iwan when playing the
 4c 7h
With a flop of
 4d 9d 4h
Woohoo trips 4-7 does it again, but then the Turn
 5d
followed by
 Kd

Flush to Ram and Iwan lost the pot.

What a great heat this was. I thought Ram showed why everyone has rated him so highly for so long, pure fearlessness.

Ram must have stood in something - he is sooo lucky.  No - he is so convincing which is what my bluffs lack. Just the way he throws the chips in says "I have a hand so just dare to call me". Wonderful to watch, truly humbled and determined to bring that into my game.....watch out Luton. :D

Great admirer of Ram, loves the way he plays so unpredictable and makes it so hard for players to get a tell on him

I thought both Ram and Joe Beevers had not extended their sponsorship deal with Prima. The were both wearing Prima logo's on their shirts.

Due to the unique way my television coverage is funded, I don't have access to any sky sports channels...

Do any blondites have copies of the Billy Hills GP shows to date (VHS or DVD)...? Or does anyone know if they're available on the web to download?
