Sheffield Summer Festival - Main Event, Day 2 Live Update

[tikay]

Russ. The play against Golden Boy? It's all about knowing your players. Thewy is 80% likely to be at it. He can't help it, he an atitmaniac.

[julian]

well i did point out to tk what an awful play it was, but i think understanding that is the next chapter for him.
& yes, once again, my savers have performed well all week.
i think i should up my rate...

phil, the times are a changin, don't miss the bus!

[ariston]

Whenever I play Julian he seems to be quite a solid player with no sophisticated moves or anything, maybe I should watch him more carefully  

[tikay]

It's over!

Keith overwhelms Leslie Heads-Up, and oir outright, "no business" winner is Keith The Camel Hawkins.

Congrats to Leslie for a great performance, & to Camel for yet another win, which maybe takes him to the top of the Euro Rankings. And to Golden Boy Thewy for another %....

[ariston]

Who was I rooting for from the start of the final? Seems I do quite well picking the winners its just they never want a % with me  well played keith, chuffed to bits for you.

I honestly believe that some players become addicted to bluffing, they try it once and it works because the table see them as a rock (and rightly so) all of a sudden there trying it all the time.  In the early days Tikay has another nickname - they called him 'the connector' because everytime he limped into a pot he seemed to have connected with it by announcing those immortal words 'i bet the pot' as soon as it passed around to him.  These players then find the slippery slope to 'atitdem' and end up hooked on bluffing.  We must name and shame them: I'll start

Tony 'the connector' Kendall
Ian 'atit' Bradley (mostly preflop atitness from this one- beware!
Julian Thew
Camel

I prefer to play a patient, slow and grinding game.  My mantra is 'bet with the best and fold the rest'

Beware there are atit merchants amongst us!

[julian]

WELL DONE CAMEL!!!
hope you make the no.1 spot mate

[julian]

don't forget greg hill jr. on that list
& ariston would lead any verbals list

[ariston]

I cant believe people have me down as a verbals expert and Julian down as an atit merchant. We are a couple of quiet basic players who bet when we have the best hand. Why does nobody believe me?

[muirspud]

Well done and good result, first time i played against this guy last nite, and he played awesome poker when i was sat at his table, read reports hes a very good player and showed me a trick r 2 anyway, well done and good luck, was honour 2 play amongst some good quality field.

Thanks Mr K for your time in keeping us updated...xx

[tikay]

ariston,

Which Julian is THAT?

And which Junior, whilst reinventing the English Language, with "atitdem"  and "atidness", is claiming to get it in with the best? - kettle & pot springs to mind here. Junior - King of the attidnessful school of poker.

"and tikay". Grr........

[tikay]

And before we say goodnight, and talking of improper English (Ariston, Junior), how about this from Lady of the Moment Jen, who boasts a First Class Degree from Oxford in Classical Languages.

Talking about this or that, she referred to something I had done as "unsensible". Women, eh?

OK, that's it from Super Saturday in Sheffield. Good Night all.
