The Best In The Business

[Pinchop73]

The c/r ott vs the russian with 77 on 9625 board was a nice hand by him imo, as well as the check back ott with the JJ vs nsb. The replay is fairly interesting.

Wish the flop 5b/f had been on the replay

wonder who was MA'ing on better c4ll!

[Doobs]

He is a cash game grinder. First thought was Eli Heath actually.

He called out 2 plus 2 moaning about his MAing in the table chat.  Said he was a member there.  There are probably a few Euro cash regs who don't really have need for a stars account.  I barely played on Stars for years and I was playing fairly high on cash over here.

FWIW sure I read somewhere that he had quite a few cash hands at NL500 on stars.

Edit.  Think I'd recognise Eli Heath's name on Stars.  Feeling I have heard it before.

bigggggg grind! 1 tabled the 215 plo8 scoop and managed to come 2nd (dealt as 3rd stack 3 handed) for 22k. Very happy about the money dont get me wrong, but kinda sad not to get a scoop title that i feel like I deserve, but I guess I dont deserve it in Omaha so keeps me hungry for the weekend.

Goodnight all, thanks for the rail <3

I can't see how you can just chop scoop plo8 after rarely talking about playing mixed games or hilo then pull out a result like this. In my opinion if there is any scoop title you dont deserve it was definitely this one where its clear its your housemates speciality. I'll find it pretty LOL if no one else considered/believes you've been ghosted throughout that tournament. But nonetheless you guessed you didnt deserve it in plo8 anyway.

I'm definitely not a hater, butr i can't believe this has not been questioned.

you usually gave a little tourney report on finalling majors ect. but now you do that so often, i wonder how much of it is actually based on your own decisions entirely.


PLO8 and holdem are so far apart it just arouses suspicion.

That's a fairly big accusation your making with basically no basis to do so on

You can think what you like in private, but questioning pads integrity on the basis that 'he lives with a guy' seems pretty fucking OOL mind.

Plenty of Scoop title hunters play events every year that they aren't specialist in because they want a scoop title and maybe they'll run great. I don't know if you've noticed, but Patrick has ran rather good lately, so it barely even registered that he ran well in plo8 to get a chop. My first thought was 'wow, nice hit paddy, must have ran deece' not 'I bet picken won that for him'

A little class required, I think.

[verndog158]

Picken  was probably 63 tabling at the time anyway!
But that is a very serious thing to say. Am with mulhuzz, seems a little more class is required here, instead of a 'jeez wish I won 100k' he must be cheating

I dont live with Pads, wasnt there when he did anything in it. One of his housemates does play, but doesn't have that much experience. Pads has played some hands of o8 and has spoken to me/been there when I've discussed h/l and railed me playing cash. It wouldn't be worth it for me, Pads or his housemate to risk anything happening to our stars accounts . Furthermore, I had a good friend final table an o8 last year from my own house/ip and I would guess that was investigated by stars.

Aye but you live in the same city though, so that's pretty damning.

[Junior Senior]

Lol at HRV.

It's a poker tournament, Pads excels in them. Strategy remains the same regardless of variant being played. Didn't perrins win a 2-7 bracelet after just watching a few vids the morning before the comp?  And as posted above Roland won a mixed game event at he WSOP without being a so called specialist

Roland is a much better example, or Matt Pertins.  Ivey plays the big game do would be familiar with all the variants.  

PLO8 a tough game to play from hold em, but you could negate that by playing aggressively.  

[DaveShoelace]

You can say what you want about Pads - he is daft, can't spell, has stupid taste in food and is delusional in his support of Newcastle.

But I can't think of anyone I think is less capable of dodgy behaviour at the poker tables than BITB. He loves the game way too much for that. Pads and poker reminds me of most little kids and football, he is the last person I'd ever think would cheat.

Of course we've all been wrong before about these things, but I imagine anyone who has followed this blog at length will share my view here.

Apologies for this little bit of white knighting but...

WTAF Where on earth did that little outburst come from?! Even if there's a shitload of alcohol involved?! You really can not go about questioning a man's integrity with absolutely no proof or evidence like that. Stupid little outbursts like this can and do have very real consequences for the accused and their bottom line. It's really really bad and smacks of jealousy.

You need to apologise and immediately wind your neck in.
