Lee Nelson: fascinating views

[TightEnd]

Last monday "Kill Phil" co-author and WPT winner Lee Nelson won the £1,000 NLHE Festival event at the Vic. Elblondie finished third

I am indebted to Andy Ward's blog (www.getitquietly.blogspot.com) for pointing me in the direction of this...his tournament reports...

Main tournament

Final table


fascinating views on the UK festival players "old school poker" etc) their style of play and good hand analysis/thought processes

What do you think?

I thought El Blondie didn't do deals

the final table article just says it was discussed, not that it was agreed

Working link.

As for this deal, Wagon nailed it. I took this deal, and I also proposed it.

[action man]

so dave only takes deals when he's having a rough time, i thought he was an advocate of the NO DEAL poker

[TightEnd]

sigh. again, the article says a deal was discussed not agreed necessarily.

A number of "anti" deal players on here eg JP, have done deals in recent big tournament final tables

[Royal Flush]

I think the diffrence is JP is not anti-deal, he just fancies his SH and HU game against a lot of opponents, JP never said he would never do deals. JP is smart enough to know sometimes he is better off with a deal.

Lee says later in that thread that he took the deal so I guess a deal was done.

[Royal Flush]

The ranking points are frozen at 3 left so i am sure a deal was done.

[TightEnd]

and I stand corrected....

[Karabiner]

Did you think that I was making it up then ?

[totalise]

OK.. so lets get this sorted

these people that say vehemently they are anti-deals, what they mean is. I'll take deals

awesome policy

I notice that M3Boy dealt in some micro tourney a while ago, after claiming that the Irish open thing that was live on TV shouldn't have had deals made because "its not life changing money".. yet dealt for a 4 figure sum. huh?

I think people that say they have a no deal policy do it for bravado, yet when they get into position to make deals, they actually do make deals. Personal standards rock

[thetank]

Poker is a game of misinformation isn't it.

Can't blame an anti-dealer for dealing , it's their choice.

What we can do, is rib then incessantly at every available oppurtunity for doing lilly-livered beezness.

Ya big bunch of £1,000 comp winning fish. 

[thetank]

I think the line El Blondie takes in his article about this on the main page is that he doesn't see the point in deals done at the local £20 re-buy comp.

If buisness is always done, you might be on yer arse one day when you find yourself playing for big money, having had no experience of playing short handed for the major spoils.
