Would have been a travesty if a team as average as Liverpool had won it 2 times in the space of a few years. I'd be willing to bet they won't make another final for at least ten years!

They beat the 'best' teams in Europe to reach the final both this year and in 2005. 

The Liverpool side is about 3 players short of being a very good side.  I'd be very willing to take your bet about them reaching a final in the next 10 years.  How much were you thinking?

They beat them with their unique style of anti football. lol sorry have to disagree with 3 players short of being a very good side. I make them 6 players short! Only Reina Agger Carragher Gerrard and Alonso (Mascherano has potential to make 6 class players) any good.... average full backs... rubbish wingers and category B strikers.

The league is the best inication and they rarely finish within 20 points of first!

10 year bets aren't much fun ... i'll make a bet they won't finish within 10 points of first in the premiership next season!

I doubt they would block his chat. I think he is the biggest raker on the entire network. Just give some stick back to him!

psychatog is a young Scandie

Don't take offence to being called a moron.... he must have called me that 200 times :-)

Can someone please private message his phone number?

Cheers

hmmm was going to write something about this on my blog.

Several players were arguing with Gerrard and Lee Jones about what happened during the bubble. It was 7/8 hands in 80 minutes as far as i remember. At one point we entered a new level, and by the time we played the first hand at the new blinds we were already 12 minutes into the level. The worst thing about this was that for some reason the structure had become a crapshoot anyway, so this just made the situation worse.

For the last four levels i played yesterday there was maybe 2/3 hands  on my various tables where there was some post flop play (except blind v blind). I'm not sure if it was to do with the record numbers but for the last 4 levels the average stack had around 11-14 big blinds. This obviously led to all in pre flop poker. For a tournament where people are playing for a huge first prize something clearly went wrong. Every player i spoke to was complaining about the lack of play in their stack. Even the chip leader only had something like 25-30 big blinds. I'm no expert in structures, but i always thought that in closing stages of EPT average stacks normally had 18-25 big blinds i would have thought.

Other than that it was a good event :-)

I think i need a new nickname... can be "kid" forever!

I guess i could update the blog for once :-)

It was quality!!!

One big tourney one win - now is the time to retire ;-)

We swapped % for the main. He should have asked for 10% of me... for my 5% in him lol

Hi Jen

Can you say hi to Nick Risdale for me! I used to play with him a pair bit before i was 18 years old...

thanks

Judging by Baden arriving an hour late may have been a good thing! :-)

Snoopy - Is play due to start at 2pm or 3pm? I thought it was 2pm but this thread says 3pm!

Don't want to leave my hotel too early.

Thanks

I am out already!

AA v 23 cost me 30% of my chips when the board came 247Q2. I bet all the way and my opponent had 23!

Couple of hands later JJ v KK on a T high board!

Then donated my last 2500...

My heat looks fun. It could be over quickly :-)

Looking forward to this as its filmed in my home town and where i went to university!!

Yep some bet is in order. You get called by any flush if you put a tempting bet out like $35.

BTW why aren't you raising pre? I love that stating hand!!

Are they playing?
