oh the young  fellow with glasses and ALL the chips
How did you get on ? Did you win it ?
How are the bruises?

I came 2nd - we did a deal when it was heads up to take 18k each and play for 3k plus the £2500 entry - which turned out just as well as I played badly heads up. A big result for me as although I play full time - I play mostly online sit'n'gos and 6 card Omaha High cash games in local casinos. Its also my first game on TV. I think I'll play in the rest of the GBPT events as its not often you get a game with 10,000 chips and 1 hour blinds for a £500 entry. Maybe I'll see you across the table at the world series of 6 card Omaha high one day when the rest of the world takes up the game.

Dave,
I see you bubbled at the GBPT £500 buy in in Edinburgh. What did you think of the standard of play in that game ? I noticed you seem to be drawn to an easy table on day 1 - no other recognisable pros sitting with you - how did you find it ?

Yes I probably had a table that suited me on saturday. I did rather well. Unfortunately, they broke that table without playing a hand the next day. The standard was also better on day 2 because generally speaking the better players survive as the comp goes on.
I didn't really get many hands on day 2 and too be honest probably didn't use my good stack to steal as often as I should.
There were plenty of good players present regardless of them being faces or not...not to mention the fact I had fellow DTD player Henning harasing me on my left.
Just one of those days I guess
 

Thanks Dave - I was interested in your view but didnt want to hasstle you on the day. I was the irish guy Gerry in seat 8. The table breaking up on start of day 2 was a bit of a blow to me too. Luckily enought I got paid on a good few big hands on day 1 to build a chip lead that carried me through a tough day 2. Anyway I enjoyed watching you play - learnt a few things from watching you as well. Hope to get an opportunity to be seated at the same table as you again sometime.

aahh..the one who trap checked me with AJ on the Ace High flop. I fancied you had an Ace but just couldnt stopped myself betting.
You played well. patience and aggression at the right times

Ive just spend 20mins trying to remember that hand cause I thought we were hardly ever in the same hand. Then I just realised Ive given you the wrong seat number- Im not the irish guy in seat 8, Im the irish guy on his left in seat 9 - lol.
