suspence

excellent, reason i ask is I'm not a big fan of deals myself. mainly because I love the game when it gets short and especially HU.
Not specifically a HU game but when you're already in the money.

are there any other pro's known for not doing deals?

well put Carlo. I didn't start playing the game with the dream of carving out a living in 50 rebuys and online poker. I want a bracelet and If it takes me the rest of my life I'll have one.
(I hear Helmuth gives them away, that's not what I mean )

oh, and well done to jbsc7769 for being the 1st member to break through the 'senior member' barrier. what do you get for 500 do you reckon?

I remember reading something Slansky wrote about the -ve EV of WSOP not applying to him because as a poker writer the potential book sales and extra finacial benifits made a win more valuable. 2nd's nowhere

know what you're saying but if I were sat where Greg is (if only) and I pulled 70k tonight I wouldn't be able to stop myself from thinking thats $120k + WSOP here we come. he's a noticably good player first time you face him and he's on a cracking run, why not take your shot. there's more than one event isn't there.

how do deals and TV poker work then?

I suppose, I think he's probably far enough ahead at the moment he won't take it. bit of a wobble then maybe but he's pretty deep.
Know what you mean though 50k / 70k what ever, it's all a big chunk of change

can't see why Greg would agree to chop at all. He has half the chips on the table and is quite capable of using them. I can see him having his sights on the full 70k

...also I'm looking to join in on other similar stakes games. drop me an Email if anyone has a spare seat.

Thanks Julian, I've found a nice little private game in Nottingham that, hopefuly I can make a bit out of and get back on my feet. slowly, slowly catchy monkey
20 to WSOP champ in two years, ready set GO!!!

all these Nottingham players on TV, brilliant. first JT storms on now Greg will make an appearance. Did you say this was for the new poker channel coming in march which will replace Game In TV?

Talking of which, I caught a short poker documentary last night on that channel and aswell as interviews with Howard Lederer, Devil Fish, Mad Marty, the Mob and Harry Demitriou there was an excellent appearance by our very own Tikay explaining some strategic differences between Omaha and Hold'em. He came across very thoughtful, deliberate and, it has to be said spoke....very.....slowly....which I told my wife was very unlike him. Nice one Tony

was it Tikay Vs Julian with the KK vs AA?

AAAAAGGHH!!
That scared me and I'm me. Sweaty git. can't beat a good guitar face.
