Europe's best player

[Wadadli]

So the WSOP is 80 % complete and British and European success has been very limited , in fact awful. The Hendonites , bad beatites, general usual names and blonde sycophants have all failed to get close to any bracelets and have been thumped by the yanks , aussies  etc. WITH ONE EXCEPTION

John Gale gets the bracelet he should have got last year to go  with his WPT title , He is clearly Britains and perhaps Europe's  best player and is amazingly never recognised as such. No doubt at the end of this year when the judges in helsinki submit their candidates for Europe's best , it will be the usual list of sycophants and Gale's name will be absent. What a farce !!!

you wouldnt happen to be a troll looking to stir things up would you ?

[Wadadli]

Kev

What part of that statement isnt true ?

[matt674]

So how much are you charging us to become a member of your John Gale fan club?

[Colchester Kev]

maybe the choice of phrase "blonde sycophants" gives reason to think you may be just trying to cause problems ... However now that you have joined ...welcome by the way...  does that now make you a "blonde sycophant" ??

Some justification of the "blonde sycophants" comment may be needed before any real attention given to the point of your post.

Also a post pre-WSOP saying "John Gale will have the best record of all European players" would have maybe given you the right to chirp more......

I thought that Pab's 6th for $82k was a cracking result for a 21 year-old in his first Vegas adventure. There are still thousands of hands still to be played - maybe a Brit will win the biggie. Have to say John Gale's results are very impressive, I am however not anywhere near qualified enough to say whether one player 'is any better' than any other.

I would like to know what %age of the fields are British and European.

I would also like to know what %age of prize money was won by British and European players.

I would then be able to tell OP whether British and European players have over or under-performed.

I am a blondite and a big fan of this site and forum. With hindsight ,my mention of Blonde sycophants was unfair and I retract it but not trhose other over hyped groups.

I trust you'll be posting your comments over on the Hendon Mob forum as well - I look forward to the debate it will generate.

Or do you only criticise people 'behind their backs', so to speak?

I wonder how many of columbos arrests resulted in conviction?

I always think after watching a culombo, "thats never gonna hold up in court" but you never get to see the court case!

still, in comparison to Frost or Taggart he's pretty much the business.

[Karabiner]

Okay I just had a rough count up and it seems that we have one Brit., one Swede and one Italian winner.

So far there have been about 30 events. Do GB&E have more or less than 10% of the field ?

Does anyone else really care ?

I think this is a wind up merchant at work .  Own up, who are you really? .  I have a feeling this is a member opening another account and  just trying to start a debate for a laugh.

well dur, everyone knows american teenagers are the best at poker. a few of them hit 21 this year and have pretty much won everything so far. In a couple of years time whole final tables will be made up of kids just out of thier diapers.

I did a quick google to check that I'd spelt diapers correctly and OMG WTF this site was almost at the top of the page. I've got a funny feeling that Colchester Kev could be into this sort of stuff.
