I believe Davis was sponsored by laddies.  Who has put Hendry in, and are there any other snooker players taking part?

I've been told that Mark Wiliams is a pretty decent player.

Hi Dave, Steve Davis plays quite a lot on Laddies and is pretty solid.

Mark Williams plays a lot of events on the UK circuit, Hendry was there last year too.

But none of them seemed very keen to take us on at 9-ball in the Tilted Kilt

That guy KP Nuts was trying to sell in himself on the Betfair forum under the heading WSOP Special Offer.  Seemed to get some really vitriolic and pisstake response's when a simple yes or no would suffice.  For that reason hope he goes deep....

AndrewT -- 10,575

I played with Stephen Hendry, Mark Williams and Viv (can't remember his last name for the life of me) last year at a Betfred $5k stt in Manchester, it could have been a really good night but the whole thing was a sham, they were blatantly giving signals to each other and treated the whole game as a joke.... Sigh. Not surprising that they all came 1st 2nd and 3rd.....

"Viv" = Viv Williams, or Williamson, I can't remember which. Has a Pony-Tail. Built like a gable end. Very aggressive player, had some decent results.

That's the one Tikay, I can stop googling now, ty!

OK - first story courtesy of Hugh Kirton, who can only be described as a genial but sick poker junky.  I congratulated him on his unusual headwear, and dress in general.  "Yes," he replied, "I was going for the look of a gay, weak-tight player."  He's clearly thought it all through. 

"And then I went all-in first hand."

Apparently he'd arrived late, having played cash all night (eminently believable) and got to his seat as the first card was being dealt.  So, his wasn't dead, and he called an under the gun 150, along with a mid-positioner.  Flop:  .  Not bad.
UTG then makes it 300, called in the middle, and Hugh makes it 850.  Call from Matey 1, but Mid-Matey makes it 3,000.  So Mr. Kirton goes all-in, and is called by Mid-Matey with his set of Fours.
on the river, and it's 20k off the bat.  God help his table.

Nice story Jen, even nicer background norkage

Paul Jackson asked me to report they he has now stopped 'playing like a wanker', but I can't really put that, so we finally agreed on 'baboon'.

So...

Paul Jackson has now stopped playing like a baboon.
